Surviving The Devil

9. Oops!

Around a week passed after that practise session. Thankfully, Dillan’s back was recovered like it has never been through that harsh fall on the football field. But he wasn’t so happy about that because he thought it was a scar to his manhood that he fell in front of so many people and injured himself.

Boys I tell you, so self-conscious. They all think they are obligated by their gender to be good at physical things; even males who have complete disdain for traditional sports secretly believe that they could strike the ball like a pro and hit Home Run every time.

Meanwhile, I tried to cross path with that devil but wasn’t successful.  Why? Because I wanted to take revenge for him being an ass to me and Dillan.

I had no idea what got into his head suddenly. He never behaved like this before. He has been the guy who pushes everyone away when stuck in a problem but not like this. It’s just not him. And that doesn’t mean I think he got possessed by a demon or something. I’ve limited my amount of watching Supernatural so not much of paranormal talking anymore. Dad began to think I needed mental therapy.

Speaking of my lovely father, he has been very frequent with the phone calls and checking on me. I know he was very much worried about me as I’ve never lived so far away from home alone before but he needed to relax. He needed to take care of himself instead of taking care of his daughter. He has done a lot for me but now it was my turn to do something for him. And for that, I’ll study hard and get my degree with flying colours, making my father proud in the process.

I knew Sage would do that as well, she was a genius when it comes to her subjects. She was living quite a good life. Nice grades, loyal friends, a loving boyfriend like Zac and not to forget, an amazing sister like me! She called a several times as well and I did the same. The talks were very casual and not all about me like it’s with dad’s call. And I liked it that way.

A loud voice of the door opening grabbed my attention. To be honest, it was a very terrifying sound, like those from the horror movies. The creepy sound of the rusted door opening.

I turned my head to the door and saw Dillan standing while panting. Of course, who else would it be? I only have one friend here. Wow, so socially active of you Jade.

“What happened Dillan?” I asked, placing my Public relation textbook on the bed.

“Don’t you have college to go to?” he scolded.

I narrowed my eyes at him and spoke, “That’s it? You took this dramatic entry to scold me for not going to college?”

He gasped and spoke, “What do you mean by that young missy? Isn’t college important for you? Do you know how much sacrifices we have done to pay your tuition fees?”

I chuckled at him, and then remembered the times when he used to do the same thing with trying his motherly tone with me.

And the anger came back to me.

“Okay, I’m going to get ready mom, you go outside.” I joked, waiting for Dillan to go out.

“Why? Can’t you change in front of your mother?” he spoke like it was the easiest thing to say.

“Not when my mother’s a guy right? Now go. Shu.” I pushed him outside, followed by him closing my bedroom door, making that irritating sound again.

“Arg, this door needs oiling.” I commented.

“I’ll do it later. Now go.”

After getting dressed in a casual attire of short and a hoddie, I went to college with my one and only friend. The weather here was much better than in my hometown. Sure it was just a few hours’ drive away but the climate was yet quite warmer and it was summer so a bonus.
