Demon, mtz.reader.1029 [phonics story books txt] 📗

I’m hanging out with my best friend, Raven. Well actually my only friend. Even though I’m really pretty I choose to be a loner and only have one friend.
We were discussing how we were gonna manage the school papers. We both are the school secretaries for 10th grade class representative. We have to manage papers for the meeting tonight. We each got a set of these packages of different pieces of paper for the meeting.
When we were about to start arguing I felt someone staring at me. I turned around to see a guy I’ve never seen before staring at me like I’m some freak. I glared at him and turned back around.
Raven was watching me.
“He better stop staring at you or the cheerleaders will get mad at you”
I laughed.
“Yea like I’m afraid of them”
And as if on cue the cheerleaders came up to me. The head cheerleader is Melanie and in my opinion the only reason why she’s head is because she’s the sluttiest.
“You won’t get the new guy” she said as if she knew for sure.
“Why does it bother you?”
“No I just know he won’t go out with a virgin. He seems like the kind to go after girls who have experience”
“Yea like you”
I can see the anger in her eyes.
“Unlike you I want to have sex with a guy that’ll I have a future with not just some guy that throws themselves at me”
“Looks like little virgin is gonna have trouble with that cause even though your pretty no guy likes you”
“I’ve had plenty of boyfriends just so you know slut. And for your information if you think you can come over here and make me scared, you must be pretty desperate cause the only thing I’m scared of is how much damage I can do to someone who gets on my nerves.”
“Oh yea bring your brother into this. Just because you have a brother that knows how to fight you think you’re so bad”
“My brother’s not the only one in the family that can beat the crap out of people. Guess you should have done more research about me and know that the only reason I moved here when I was 10 was because I sent a little girl to the hospital” I said and watch as she went pale.
“You don’t want to mess with me bitch” I said then went into the school with Raven following me.
“Wow Demon that was so awesome how you stood up to Melanie like that”
Yep that’s my name Demon. My birth parents named me Demon. I’ve never met them because they abandoned me at the hospital right after I was born. When I was 5 I was adopted.
“That bitch has pushed me too far this time and I’m sick and tired of her”
“Is it true that you’re a virgin?”
“Oh yea. Unlike Melanie I don’t throw myself at guys”
We arrived at my locker. I opened it and grabbed my book for the next four periods. After my locker we went to Ravens.
“So what did you do to the girl when you were ten?”
“I pushed her down the stairs then punched her perfectly white teeth right out of her mouth”
“Why?”
“She made me mad by stealing the most important from me”
“What was that?”
“My necklace”
“What’s so important about that necklace?”
“It was a present from my birthparents. The hospital told me that they put it on me as soon as I was born”
“Did you get it back?”
“Yep”
I look around to make sure no one was looking and then I reached into my backpack and took out my pencil case. I opened it and took out my necklace. It was small so it fit me like a bracelet now.
It was covered with diamonds and aquamarine stones. In the center of every stone is either a purple or black stone. They were so tiny you could barely see them but you could totally notice that they were there.
I quickly put it back in my pencil case. We went to first period which luckily we have together. We sat in the back.
“So what do you think about the new guy?”
“He is hot and seems like he can get any girl without even trying. Just like my last boyfriend”
“Oh yea what was his name?”
“Tyler”
“What school did he go to?”
“He goes to college”
“You serious!” she said loudly. Everyone looked at us. I shushed her.
“Yea”
“How did you two hook up?”
“Please don’t make me talk about it cause he is the last person I want to think about”
“Why what’d he do?”
“He wanted to have sex, I didn’t, he hit me” I whispered.
“Oh my gosh Demon that is serious”
“Please just leave it. It’s no big deal anyways I dumped him as soon as he did it”
The teacher walked in and we stopped talking cause the new guy was right behind her. Believe it or not but I have English right now.
“Everyone this is Ian. He is our new student. Ian why don’t you tell everyone a little something about yourself”
“Ummmm. …my name is Ian Lockhart. I moved from Illinois and I have two sisters”
“Very good Ian now take your seat.. there’s one seat over in the back”
And it’s right next to me. I turned to Raven. ‘When did you and Tyler break up?’ she mouthed.
‘two days ago’ I mouthed and unfortunately Raven yelled “What?!!!” out loud. Everyone turned to us.
“Raven is there something you would like to share to the class”
“No”
“Very well then one more interruption and you will have a detention”
I glared at Raven.
For the rest of class Raven tried to get me to show her where he hit me but I kept telling her at lunch. She finally give up when the teacher announced that we were gonna have new reading partners. I snapped my head to her because she knows I don’t talk to anyone.
“Well actually only two of you are getting new partners”
“Raven you will be with James and Demon you will be with the new kid Ian”
“But…” I started.
“No buts Demon”
“Now everyone get with your partner and discuss the book that you are reading”
I moved my desk so I was facing Ian. He did the same thing.
I took out my book which has about 500 pages. He took out a book about half the size of mine.
“Big book” he said.
I just looked at him I realized I was making him uncomfortable so I stopped.
“Look lets just get one thing straight you don’t bother me and I don’t bother you” I said.
“Okay?” he said unsure at what I just said. As I crossed my arm. As I did I touched my bruise on my arm. I closed my eyes and uncrossed my eyes.
“So why is your name Demon?”
“Ask my birthparents”
“Why?”
“Cause I have no clue now back to the assignment” I said changing the subject.
“I am reading a book about how a girl moves into a haunted house and a ghost convinces her to help him look for a secret treasure in the house but it turns out a way to make him alive again”
“Cool I’m reading a book about how a girl has to go through the hardships of never knowing who her friends really are”
“I’ve read that already”
“Can you tell me how it ends?”
“Then that’ll take the surprise away”
The bell rang.
“Come on not even a little hint”
“Sorry maybe next time or when you finish the book”
I left with him staring at me. I went to history where I presented my project and got an A. After history I went to science where I blew up two chemicals. In math I found out I aced the test.
Finally it was time for lunch. At lunch I ate with Raven and then we both went to an empty bathroom so I could show Raven the bruise on my arm. When I showed her she freaked.
“That is the biggest bruise I have ever seen what did he hit you with a car?”
“Actually he hit me with my book”
“How?”
“My backpack was right next to us so he reached in, grabbed it, and hit my arm”
“Whoa”
“Hey can I see your necklace/bracelet again?”
“Sure”
I got my pencil case and opened it but I froze as I saw there was nothing in it.
“Where is it?” I said.
“Did you misplace it?”
“No….I put it right back in my pencil case”
“Come on lets go back to the cafeteria and see if it slipped out of your bag”
We went back and searched under the table. When we searched I noticed Melanie with her group of skanks. They were admiring Melanie. I looked at what they were looking at and got angry.
I went to her. I grabbed her wrist and saw my necklace/bracelet. She snatched her wrist back.
“Where did you get that?” I said pointing to the bracelet.
“My mom gave it to me”
“That’s mine” I said.
“Your lying”
“No that’s mine and if it was yours then how come you weren’t wearing it this morning”
“I didn’t feel like putting it on”
“Give it back” I said angrily.
“I didn’t steal this from you it’s mine”
“It is mine and I can prove it to you” I grabbed her wrist and took off her bracelet. I turned it inside out and showed her where my initials were.
“See D.C. my initials”
“That doesn’t prove anything”
“My initials being on a bracelet that I’ve had for sixteen years then out of nowhere you get the exact same bracelet with the same exact initials. I don’t think it’s a coincidence”
“Yea well….”
“Well what? You better have a good explanation”
She was lost for words.
“That’s what I thought” I said then started walking away. Melanie caught up and snatched my bracelet away from me. I clenched my hands into fists. Raven came over to me seeing my mood.
“Give me back my bracelet” I snarled.
“It’s not yours it’s mine”
“Give it back to me before someone gets hurt” I said again.
“It’s mine”
I grabbed her hand that held my bracelet and yanked it out put it in my pocket.
“Last girl who took my bracelet away from me she got sent to the hospital” I said then went away while her friends comforted her and calmed her down saying they’ll do something about it.
During seventh period the office called for me. I just know what this is about. In the office I went into the principal’s where Melanie was sitting there in a chair crying.
“Demon sit down” I sat.
“Now Melanie says that you stole her bracelet”
“She stole my bracelet I was getting it back”
“That’s not her and her friends say”
“Who are you gonna believe the head cheerleader or the straight A student?”
“In this case Melanie”
“But she’s lying”
“Prove it” the principal said.
“What colors are on the bracelet?” I asked Melanie
“Blue and white”
“What colors are the stones in the middle?”
“What stones in the middle?”
“The purple and black stones in the middle”
I showed the principal the bracelet.
“Well what do you have to say for yourself Melanie?”
“I, uh, I….”
“That’s what I thought” I said.
“Demon you can go back to class with your bracelet while I deal with Melanie”
I put the bracelet on
