Freak

Ep. 5, pt 1; Circus Theatre rivals

Diary entree #1,

It has been a few weeks since I "accidently" joined the "circus". I've made some new friends and for once I feel like a belong somewhere. Strange huh? Everyone here is so weird and different in their own way and I just love that.

I haven't sung yet in performance. Iverliis said that takes time. He also said that I make a great assistant for his magic gig.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot! Since I'm going to college in a little more than a year, Iverliis allowed me to leave the circus during the day to go to school...I kind of regret ever doing this but I had to start focusing more on my grades (Sigh -_-).

I told my parents that I would be spending a lot of my time working so to make it more convincing. Iverliis is paying me to perform now. (Not much scince he really wasn't too found of the idea.)

Anyway, I love it here! I can't wait to see what other exciting adventures are in store!

~~~~☆~~~

Evv gently closed her book and got out of bed. She glanced over at the clock.

6:30.

Evv sighed as she changed into her uniform. She muttered under her breath. "Shishitshit! I can't be late."

She drowsily looked in the mirror, half asleep. She attempted to brush her giant frizzy hair, but seeing as it would only get poofier she decided to put it up in a messy ponytail. She applied her mask and grabbed her stuff she had with her since she arrived to the circus.

She quietly crept out the door, trying not to wake anyone up.

Apparently that wasn't a solid plan.

"What's up guurrrl? Aw I love your little uniform!" Pok purred as Evv bumped into him before she could get to the exit.

"I'm going to school today." She yawned.

Pok face then turned pale and his eyes opened wide with fear. "D-d...did you say...school?"

Evv nodded. "I need to hurry or else I'll be lat-" she paused when Pok was on his knees. He was pleading her not to go.

"Please! Plesplesplesples don't go to school Evv! Its awful! It's a living hell! Please don't go!!!"

Before she could react the big kitty guy quickly stood up. "I know! I'll go with you so I can protect you from the evil bullies and teachers!"

"I think the real evil is my absent-mindedness." Evv murmured truthfully. "Besides Pok, I can't take you to school. Everyone will see you and it would be kind of strange."

"I'll hide in your book bag!"

"I think you're just a little too big for-" Evv started but shut her mouth as the giant cat guy transformed into a small adorable kitten chibi. The chibi Pok climbed up her leg and into her backpack.

"See! I can fit!" He yelled eagerly, his voice was adorable and more high-pitched. "Please take me with you!"

Evv sighed as she walked out of the tent. "Well I guess for only today, just don't let anyone see you ok?"

"Nya~" Pok exclaimed. Evv took it as an OK.

----------~------

"Oh shit! I'm so late!" Evv whined as she ran up to the school building from coming out of the bushes.

The bell from within the school was clearly ringing. Evv stumbled out onto the sidewalk and quickly made her way to the doors. The whole time Pok was in her bag carelessly nibbling on some papers.

"Sorry I'm late..." Evv whispered as she made it to her first class. Her head was down and she didn't dare make any eye contact.

The teacher sighed. "This is not the first time Evvelyyn." He shook his head and picked up the attendance list. "This is the last time I'll let it slide, you better get your act together."

Evv submissively nodded and rushed to take her seat. The teacher already didn't like her enough for sucking at chemistry, this only made things worse.

The class luckily passed quickly, Evv failed a test and corrections were due the next day.

Evv sighed as she walked out of the class. "Looks like I won't be correction that." She muttered stuffing the 56% back into her back.
Pok peaked out of her bag and hugged the girl's shoulders. "I'm sorry."

Evv made it through another day just as torturous and demanding as she remebered. No one even noticed she was gone besides some teachers and a 2 friends. She sighed as she sat down for lunch, she was alone in her usual hide out, the only place she could go to get away.

"School isn't like how I remeber it." Pok admitted climbing out of the back pack and sitting next to Evv.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean...they don't really...pick on you." He stammered for once. That was odd, he never seemed so hesitant.

Evv didn't know what to say so she shrugged. "...I mean...I guess they would pick on me if I wasn't so quiet I mean...no one really pays attention to me, I'm too afraid to draw attention..."

Pok just nodded, it seemed adorable in his chibi form but you could tell he was being serious.

Evv finished her lunch and shared with Pok. The bell rang a little too quickly and both grunted in boredom.

"Aw man don't make me suffer any more!" Pok whined.

"Hey, you were the one who insisted on coming."

"Yeah but nothing interesting is happening!"

"It's school, what do you expect?"

Evv made it in her English class, trying very hard to ignore Amia Venal and her next prey Rik Morrison, who was yet again were flirting like hell.

Evv groaned, it was bad enough having to know them as people, why was she cursed to have to listen to them flirt every day?

Sometimes she just wanted to scream at them. "SHUT THE FUCK UP ALREADY!"

Sometimes she wished she could do that to a lot of people.

But instead she tried to ignore it, as annoying as it was.

"Rik used to be dating Lily." Evv thought as an empty nostalgic feeling rushed back into her, it made her angry, but she kept it inside. "Amia isn't even dating Rik, but she's acting like his girlfriend. She stole someone's boyfriend from them....again..."

Evv cringed as the tornado of memories flew by, she wanted to forget. More than anything, she wanted to act like nothing ever happened.

But in her mind, it was like they locked her out, and she was still waiting by the door to be let back in.

But no one was ever going to do that.

Three more days after this Evvelyyn, then your soul will belong to me under our little contract.

The Demon Master laughed wickedly.

Just three more days...
