The Emo Girl and the Lying Bad Boy

Deal With the Devil

*AVA CLAIRE*

"I wanna make up, right na na na. I wanna make up, right na na na. Wish we never broke up right na na na. We need to link up right na na na-" I feel someone pull my earbuds out.

"Hey!" I yell. I look around for whoever did it and find Josh staring at me.

"When were you gonna tell me you made a deal with the devil?" He accuses, scolding me.

"I don' know what you're talking about." I say nonchalantly as I put my feet on my bedroom desk. Josh glares at me.

"Don't you play dumb with me Claire!" I raise an eyebrow. "I know all about you trying to hook up with Nathan just so you can get help on the S.A.T.'s!" He continues ranting as I try not to laugh. You know, I would never admit it, but Josh is cute when he's angry.

I can't help it. I have to laugh. So I do. "This is not funny Ava! I thought you were better than that!" He looks taken aback as if he doesn't know who I am anymore.

"I-" I continue laughing, falling out of the chair. "You think I-" I start hitting the ground. "Oh my god, and you-" I roll around on my back trying to get all my giggles out. Josh just looks at me like I'm a complete nut job. I finally calm down and start to speak, but I just burst into another fit of giggles.

"Seriously Ava. Tell me what's going on right now." He says sternly. I stop laughing and look up at him.

"Joshie, I am NOT sleeping with the devil," I sigh. "The deal I made with him is that if I would help him get hooked up with Maya Writingsbirg that he would help me on my S.A.T.'s"

"Oh my god, you little clever you!" Josh jumps at me, ruffling my hair. I slap his hands away playfully.

"Stooop. You're messing up my hair!" I whine and he chuckles letting me go.

"So, what do you want to do my friend?" He gets up and sits on my bed. I run my hands through my black hair. Suddenly I get an idea. I grin mischievously. "Oh no." He shakes his head. "I know that look and whatever you're thinking, I'm putting my foot down and saying no."

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

"Oh no, Ava we are NOT doing that! Do you have a death wish?!" Josh screeches at me. We are at the town's fair and I'm trying to get him to ride the 'Slingshot'. It's a big ball that is attached to gigantic rubber bands and it throws you up in the air while you are still attached to the bands.

I laugh. "Oh come on Joshie, for me?" I stick out my bottom lip and give him my best puppy dog face. I watch as he struggles to look away.

He looks in the other direction. "There is no way I am falling for that face. Just no way!" Josh stomps his foot and I keep my face in the pout. He peeks over at me.

"Please?"

"No."

"Pretty please?"

"No."

"Pretty pretty please?"

He doesn't respond. He just looks at me. "With a cherry on top?" I plead.

"I don't like cherries though." I glare at him. He chuckles then sighs. "Fine, but just this once. You hear me?" I nod eagerly and practically drag him to the line.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

"Oh my gerd! I think I almost peed myself!" Josh trembles beside me. I laugh at his face. His blonde hair is falling over his hazel eyes and his face is red from screaming.

"That was wicked!" I shout as we walk through the fair, trying to find something else to do. "Omg, cotton candy!" I race over to the cotton candy stand. "Josh?" I look over at him.

"Ava, you've had enough sugar."

"No, I haven't! I've only had a little bit of ice cream and some sour patch kids!" I whine.

"And a funnel cake. And more Ice cream. And a caramel apple. And-" I cut him off.

"Ok, I get it! I'm fat! Please though, and I promise you and my over stuffed belly I won't eat one more thing."

He sighs. "Fine." He walks over to the stand and pays the guy. Josh hands me the cotton candy, which I ripped right out of his hands.

"Come to mama!" I say enthusiastically as I gobble it down. I look over at an amused Josh. "What? Don't judge me!" He throws his hands up in the air in surrender.

"I wasn't judging!" He laughs. We continue walking and suddenly I have to pee.

"I'll be right back." I tell Josh as I head towards the bathroom. Just as I am about to walk in, someone pulls me from behind.

"What the f-" And then there is a hand on my mouth, just great. I'm getting jumped at a fair. I turn around to find none other than Nathan standing there. He really likes taking people by surprise. I feel like we're dealing drugs. Not that I would know what that's like.

"What now?" I whine. "I gotta pee Sanders and if I don't make it in time then you can expect to be slapped." He smirks and messes with a string of his black hair. I watch as he chuckles slightly and looks up at me with those huge chocolate brown eyes of his. Holy crap.

"Did you forget our deal?"

"Um no. why?" I look at Nathan, just hoping to God that this won't take long or I'm going to burst like a pinata.

"Because I don't see Maya drooling over me, yet. And it's been five days Claire. You better hurry or you're going to have to suffice for my loss. Although, I'm sure you'd be better." He winks. I raise my hand to slap him, but he catches it. "Oh, feisty are we?"

"Sanders! Let go of me or I'll-" He slams my back slightly into the wall.

"Or you'll what?" He smiles. "Hurt me?" He presses against me and whispers in my ear. I shiver from his warm breath on my skin. "Go ahead and punish me. I've been naughty, after all." My cheeks turn bright red. Nathan smirks and steps back.

"Remember Ava, you better hurry." And he turns around and walks away leaving me speechless.
