The rest of the school day is a blur. I can't concentrate properly in class, I don't care that the lines I'm drawing in art aren't straight. I'm just not myself. I can't quite comprehend what has happened, I went to a world. I got there by walking through a portal. I met some guy called Mr Bobbins and he was happy, everyone in that place, Elendor was happy. Most of the time when I am surrounded by happy people I get annoyed because I find them too happy but today their happiness rubbed off on me and I wasn't annoyed. They breathed happiness into my dark, black soul.
"What is wrong with you Jo Lennox?" I mutter to myself "You're supposed to be dead inside. You're soul is supposed to be dark and evil. The only happiness you can get is from your bloodhound Freddie."
I shake my head, I'm very disappointed in myself.
I get home and immediately I run upstairs into my room. I open up my laptop and I see my wallpaper, a picture of Satan. I smile I am Satan. Or at least I thought I was, now I suppose I'm a happy, loveable person. Gross.
I go online and I try to find some answers, surely some other would-be-Devil has faced the same problem as me.
Nope they haven't. Damn it.
I lie on my bed and think. I did actually have a good time today, maybe being a nice person wouldn't be too bad.
"No!" I say sharply
The door to my room opens and in comes my little sister Emma.
"What're you doing, Josephine?" She asks
"My name's not Josephine! You ignorant twat!" I spit
"Well technically Jo is short for Josephine so technically your name is Josephine, you ignorant twat." She says smartly. I just want to punch her square in the face.
"Well actually my birth certificate just says Jo Lennox. Therefore my real first name is Jo. Unlike some people I only have one first name unlike some." I turn and face my sister "Emma-Gwendolyn Lennox."
"Shut up!" She cries "That isn't fair shut up!"
I smile smugly, she hates the fact that she has two names. I mean Emma and Gwendolyn aren't bad names, they're quite nice but not put together (I don't think).
"Well it's an ugly name for an ugly person, Emma-Gwen."
Emma screams and then swears at me, something which my mum hears.
"Emma! Get down here right now!" Mum shouts.
Emma goes downstairs and I can hear mum and dad shouting at her. I chuckle, it's great when my sibling gets in trouble especially when it's completely my fault.
Emma comes stomping up the stairs and dad says "Don't come out of your room for the rest of the night Emma-Gwendolyn Lennox."
Emma passes my door and I grin evilly and wave at her, she looks fuming.
I see that I needn't have worried, I'm still Satan.
