Bright Blue Jersey

"He's so cute." She sighed.

"That's true, but he doesn't even notice you." The girl in the green stripes said.

"I don't get it Mira, Why are people so weird?" She wondered aloud.

"Just go over there and say hi, he'll notice you then." Mira suggested.

Whoa. That'd be stupid. She's gonna do it. This'll be fun to make worse.

She got up, slowly moving over to the boy in the bright blue jersey.

"Hi Gary... Good luck for the second half of the game!" She told him.

"Thanks. Who are you by the way?"

Oh no. They're actually talking. Well this makes my job harder.

"I sit next to you in algebra. My name's-"

The blow of the referee cut her off and her crush raced back into the game.

Thank you ref! Ugh, I thought she might've gotten to close to that guy. She could've had a happy ending!

"Mira... Why does this always happen?" She said as she walked back over to her friend.

"Maybe he's not the one for you. It's okay. I'm here for you." Mira told her.

Oh, that gives me a great idea! She won't be there for long...

"Hey mom! Hey dad!" She said as she closed the door to her house, entering and running up the stairs to her isolated room.

Before she could slam the door she heard, "They're out. I'm the only one here."

"I don't have any siblings..." she thought to herself. 

It was time to make my appearance. Since I was a demon, I could make myself invisible to humans, but now it was time for the big reveal.

"Hi." I said as I chose my appearance. Brown hair, shoulder length... That'll work. It'll contrast with her long blond hair. What about eyes? Let's go with red, it'll give a nice flare. Outfit? I'll just use my black tee-shirt and jeans. We'll keep it plain.

"My name's Astera." I told the frightened girl.

"What are you?!?" She shrieked.

"Okay look," I said, glancing at the floor, "that's just rude. I said my name, so just go ahead and introduce yourself."

"My name's Melantha, Melantha Colins. It means "dark flower" in greek." She said quietly, "Now I answered your question, so tell me: What are you?"

That was fair enough. "I'm a demon. My purpose is to basically reck your life."

Her look was less surprised than I thought. "Seems about right." she said.

"I'm a demon! Here to make you kill yourself! To hurt you forever! You should be TERRIFIED!!!" I screamed, all of the other humans I'd ever followed around were always scared. They would beg "please don't hurt me" and other nonsense.

"Well to be honest," she said as she sat down on her bed, "my life's already pretty terrible."

"I'm here to take your soul!" I yelled. 

"Yeah whatever."
