Demonic

Chapter 5: 'Witching Hour'

We ate together like last night. As I put on my backpack, I took a second glance at my schedule before I would put it inside of my bag. I thought I would check now, so whenever I would go to my first class, I wouldn't have to take it back out.

FIRST PERIOD: Witchcraft

SECOND PERIOD: Math

THIRD PERIOD: English

LUNCH

FOURTH PERIOD: Science

FIFTH PERIOD: Art/Computer Science

SIXTH PERIOD: Social Studies

Jaxx went to the bathroom, leaving his paper on the counter next to me. I curiously studied it, only to come to the horrifying realization that we had the same exact schedule. I was stuck with the literal spawn of Satan himself all day and night. I put my paper in my backpack with trembling hands. By now, Jaxx was out of the bathroom, and putting some of his books in his designer backpack before eventually, we were both ready. 

Apparently, He knew that dorm mates had the same schedule already, because as soon as we walked out the door, he was dragging me to Witchcraft class. I was planning on finding it myself, assuming he would want to see his supposed friends before school started. Once we got there, the teacher told us where our seats were. Of course, we had to sit next to each other too. After she pointed out our seats, the teacher did something even worse. "You guys are going to be partners for the rest of the year!! Won't that be great?" She informed optimistically. From her cheerful attitude, it didn't seem that she knew how weak I was, and how easily Jaxx could end me. I read her name tag as Jaxx answered for me, making small talk with her.

Mrs. Goldie

I followed him to our shared desk with dread. We were some of the first people in class since he knew where he was going, and he strung me along his way here. As more demons poured in, a few of his 'friends' came to talk to him about royal demon stuff my poor self wouldn't understand. One in particular struck a nerve in me. 

First, he put his soda on my side of the desk as if it were nothing. Second, All he did was brag about having sex with his girlfriend, or how powerful he was. The last thing came when he looked at me as if I was a piece of moldy trash, and sneered, "You're stuck with that loser?" Jaxx just laughed along with it. That was the last straw. "I bet your girlfriend's friends say the same thing about you, selfish prick." I challenged. He stood tall in front of my desk. "Do you know why I am?" He growled. "Did you forget your name bragging about your sex life?" I snapped. I saw flames come up from his shoulders. I made a mistake. A big one.
