Demonic Friends (DareToDream & Zephe)

[DareToDream]

Jake Parker hated school. Well, not really hated it per se but he definitely didn’t like it most days. It just always seemed so dull. He got good grades, though he never seemed to work really hard for them, and he had a few friends but nothing here ever seemed to excite him anymore. Thankfully he was a senior now and just had to survive this year before moving on to the next stage in his life. He could only hope college would be better.

As he entered the school in the early morning and headed for his locker, he wasn’t paying attention to where he was going. The collision rocked him sideways, staggering him into the lockers, where he steadied himself. He glanced down and saw books and papers scattered everywhere. Knowing they weren’t his, he figured they belonged to whoever he had just run into and he began to pick them up. When he had them all gathered he stood and turned to the student he’d hit.

He froze immediately, his eyes staring. Standing before him was a girl he’d never seen before. And he knew this with a certainty because, had he seen her before, he most definitely would have introduced himself before now. She was of average height, like him, and had fiery red hair that cascaded down to her shoulders. Her eyes were a bluish tint, which really grabbed him, and her figure was rather shapely. He let his eyes flick over her briefly before smiling. “I’m sorry about that” he said, holding out her books. “I wasn’t watching where I was going.” He studied her for another second. “You’re new here aren’t you?” he finally asked.

Chris walked around the new school, letting a long sigh leave her lips. She knew she'd be the only demon in the school so she'd have to keep it on the down-low. She continued to walk, looking down at the school map the secretary had given her, she ended up walking into someone. "Uhmph." she gasped landing on the floor, her papers and books scattering. Getting up she dusted off her sides before looking up to the boy who had her books and papers, who was also talking to her, "Uh, yeah I'm new." She said with a small nodd, her firey hair falling into her face. "It's okay, I wasn't either" she told him with a small giggle. She looked the boy over smiling still, he was cute for the average human boy.

He loved the sound of her giggle. Light and airy, it also made her face light up a little. He nodded. “Yea, but I have a bad habit of that. Though I can’t complain this time – I got to meet someone new as a result.” He handed her the books and papers . “I’m Jake, by the way” he said. “I’m a senior here. Thank god.” He smiled at her. He liked her already. There was just something about her that grabbed his attention. “What brings you to the school?” he asked. He was curious about that – nothing ever happened in his sleepy town, much less at the school yet here walked in a beautiful girl from right off the street and he just happened to bump into her.
