Devil In Disguise

CHAPTER 9

Lucifer's POV

I'm now currently sitting beside Dominic in History, the last period before lunch time. The teacher was sharing something kinda interesting, so I was actually listening.

I glanced at Dominic and saw him closing his eyes. We were sitting in the middle column of the classroom so the teacher probably hasn't seen him yet.

I nudged his shoulder and he groaned a little. He still didn't open his eyes and shook my arm off. I flicked his elbow hard and he clicked his tongue on the roof of his mouth and glared at me.

"What the hell?" He whispered and I glanced sideways at him. He looks genuinely irritated.

"Don't sleep here," I said, turning my eyes to the teacher every now and then as I spoke to him. Mr. Huff is a terror teacher and likes to scold students who are misbehaving, and I'm pretty sure you wouldn't like it yourself if you hear him screaming.

"Tsk. Don't mind me. I got this," Dominic said and slouched a bit on his seat, crossed his arms over his chest and closed his eyes again. I looked behind us and saw that some of our classmates were almost falling asleep too.

I sat properly and stared at the whiteboard. He's still going on with his lecture, not noticing that the others were already sleeping just like the one who's here beside me.

I listened and realized that he had already gone off topic from what he was discussing earlier. I tried to listen at what he was saying but I also felt my eyelids slowly closing and my head was dropping down.

We heard a faint knock on thw door that was enough to wake me up and get me back to my senses. Mr. Huff looked at the door as it opened.

"Excuse me," I immediately recognized it was Kara's voice before she even peeked half of her body in the doorframe.

"Is that Kara?" I looked at Dominic. He slowly opened his eyes and fixed his posture on the chair, looking at Kara from across the room.

"Yes?" Mr. Huff asked. I heard some commotion and talking from outside the classroom, it seems like other students already have finished their classes and now going to have their lunch.

"The principal wants to see the Student Council President," Kara said and Dominic eagerly stood up and went to the front.

"Why?" Mr. Huff asked and Dominic stopped, rolling his eyes behind Mr. Huff's back. Some of our other classmates snorted at him.

Kara's face distorted. "Because he needs something from him?" She answered in a 'duh' tone and I saw Dominic smirking.

"Okay. The class is almost finished, anyway," he said and let Dominic go who looked so euphoric as he walked out of the classroom. Moments later Mr. Huff let us out. I went to the cafeteria and sat beside Kara who was already eating at our table.

Dominic's POV

I walked along the calm and peaceful corridor on the way to the principal's office. What does he want from me?

I pushed open the door to his office, not even bothering to knock. Fuck manners, he doesn't deserve to be respected.

The principal turned around and faced me, his eyes furious and shooting daggers towards me. I gave him an unfazed look in return.

"You monster," his hands were shaking furiously and I smirked. "You did this, didn't you?!"

"I'm not doing anything," I calmly said and crossed my arms over my chest. I knew what he was talking about. But that's the truth, I didn't do anything.

"Then who did this? Your psychopathic brother?!" He shouted at me and I stared dully at him.

I didn't give him a reply. Its funny to see him like this, angry but doesn't know what to do. It's entertaining to see him so stressed out.

He squinted his eyes at me and pointed a finger to my chest. "I'm demanding the both of you to the police—"

I held my right arm out in mid-air and closed my fist. His sentence was cut short and he immediately gasped for air. I lifted my arm and he floated in the air, kicking his feet around.

His eyes widened and he started choking. I could see the fear in his eyes, eating out every inch of him and making him even weaker than he already was.

"Don't you dare," I said in a threatening voice. "That isn't a very smart idea, you don't know who you're playing with."

I looked over my shoulder when I felt someone watching my back. It was Myst. He was wearing an outfit of the school security guard, doing an undercover. He slowly walked inside and closed the door behind him.

"Don't kill him, brother," he said and stood beside me and looked up at the old man. I moved my arm to the side and sent him crashing towards the corner of the room. He clutched his reddening neck and coughed while gasping for air.

"You bastards!" Arthur coughed out and glared at us. "I hope you both go and rot in hell!"

"That's where I came from, actually," I answered and Myst chuckled.

"I'm still on my way there, but for sure you'll go there first," Myst said and looked at Arthur.

"You're done for, you bastard. This is your payment for what you have done," I clenched my jaw and my fists lividly as I remembered what this man did to our mother. She suffered in his hands and she didn't deserve it.

"You should go and have you lunch," Myst lifted his left arm and slapped my shoulder lightly and then squeezed it. "Leave him to me."

I nodded and walked outside the office. I proceeded back down into the cafeteria and sat down with Lucifer and Kara.

"You're not eating?" I looked at Kara and saw her drinking some lemonade from a plastic cup. I shook my head and looked at my sweater than she was wearing. Its like two size larger than her but she looks good in it, anyway.

"Aren't you hungry?" she asked again and I turned my head to her.

"Why do you care?" I snapped at her and furrowed my eyebrows but she looked umbothered.

"Because I'm concerned, of course," she sarcastically answered me and I glared at her.

I stood up and walked to the canteen. They were still selling food but I was just lazy to walk here.

I bought some peanut butter jelly sandwich and walked back to the table and sat down. I saw Lucifer grinning at me as he watched me eating the sandwich. The fuck is wrong with him?

"Kara has some candy in her bag," Lucifer said and I gave him a 'so what' look. Psh. I don't like candy. What am I, a child?

"Does he eat gummy bears?" Kara asked ang brought out her bag. Gummy bears?

She placed a bag of gummy bears on the table and pushed it towards me. I stared at the gummy bears intently. Damn it.

Gummy bears... Soft and squishy gummy bears....

"It's yours," she said and I looked up at her and quickly snatched the bag of gummy bears away before she could take it back. I saw her giving me a small smile and I heard Lucifer laugh.

"Your face is the funniest every time you see gummy bears," Lucifer told me. "You stare at it like you hate it to death but at the same time your face looks like begging for it," I heard Kara chuckle along with him and I rolled my eyes.

Silly Lucifer.
