Part - 2

The idea of waiting in the school gone wrong. He didn't allow me to wait outside so he literally bring me inside the council meeting. Now everyone knows about our plan on going out together. Asmo and Mammon insist to go along, I almost say yes and ruin everything. But thanks Diablo for saying that it is a date. Asmo immediately gave up but Mammon still continue to insist for a while then surrender after Diablo told him that he can go with him to the exhibit of gold. Still it feels really awkward, I'm about to faint because of shame. Luckily Lucifer didn't mention that it's my idea.

"So where are we going?" He ask once everyone left and we are at the front of the school building.

I'd thought about it many times last night that I'm not capable on making plans, in conclusion, I didn't able to think on where we should go since I'm not really familiar in this place. Also, I don't have lots of grimm to take him into some fancy restaurant. This is the worst thing I've done and I'll regret it my whole life.

I did attempt to talk to Lucifer about cancelling the plan but he's unreachable for some reason, even after the classes ended he was still in a hurry to catch-up the meeting. So I didn't able to talk to him about it. I hate to disappoint him yet I have no choice but to tell him now.

"I..." Eyes stares at the gate. Maybe there's some place that we can go without using money. "I'm sorry... I really don't know."

Will he get mad?

"What about Hell's Kitchen? You often went there right? Come on let's grab some dinner." He says then step down to the stairs.

Hell's kitchen isn't that expensive, if I remember it clearly. And Lucifer isn't Beel so he won't eat a lot.

"Okay," I quickly follows him.

🐑🐑🐑

While eating, I confess all my troubles about this plan and all he does was laugh. A demon laughter, a demon mock. Right now I'm still waiting for his words. Should we go back home after this? I have had enough awkward moments, enough to hunt me when I grow old.

"Why aren't you eating?" Lucifer ask. "If you worry about the bill, I'll pay for it."

"No! It's not that..." I don't want to appear defeated. "I can pay."

He continue to stare at me.

"I'm sorry... I should have not waste your time." I sigh. "We can go home after this."

"What about a walk on the Park? At Sakura Park. Have you been there?"

I shake my head. As far as I remember I haven't been there.

"Are you sure?" I think he just hate making me feel down.

"I want to know what you're up to. On why you invited me out? You don't need to answer it right away. I'll wait until you gain confidence to tell. A walk on the park might make you confess."

A stone suddenly falls onto my head, it push me deeper down to the ground. Of course I need to tell my reason, but is it alright for a woman to confess her feelings, won't it be a desperate move. If I don't, what's my other excuse. I'm sweating cold.

🐑🐑🐑

We stop by the arch bridge in the park. The floating lantern on the river is so beautiful. My eyes sparkles seeing a lotus made one, it's so pretty. How they did that? Demons are everywhere too, seems like it's a popular spot for them.

The light on trees looks so magical! Now that I know that this place exist, I'll surely visit here often! Upon seeing all this amazing park design I get too excited that I forgot my struggles.

...

Now I remember it.

Lucifer is beside me on his phone. Someone called him and he's been on it for a while. It isn't Diablo for sure since he promise not to disturb us. Mammon? No, Lucifer won't answer if it's him. But I heard him saying newspaper club... If I'm not mistaken.

Wo— A white fox! It's drinking water from the river. It's tiny like a cat, yet it have a pointy nose. So it's a fox. Wait... should I take a closer look. I turn to Lucifer to ask permission but he's busy and not looking my way. I guess, I'll pet the fox for a while.

I run swiftly out of the bridge into the river side. The fox is still there I can see it. It had a red eye. Awesome, it's so cute. I cease my steps when I'm a little closer to it. I can't randomly pick it and cuddle, which is what I want to do, but I'm not dumb. I'm in the Diveldom, different from my world so this thing could be harmful. Yet I want to see it closer. I sit near it, not so close, I left a little distance just incase.

I tilt my head, to give it a good look. It's now licking its foot and wiping it's face. So cutee! I giggle as I hold the urge to pet it. Soon it starts to notice me, and is walking closer. I'll be dead...dead, but my feet don't want to move. It doesn't look mad anyway so why run. It's a cute little thing I should stay.

It then sit facing me. I show a smile and tap its nose with my finger. I did a risk on that, and it didn't transform into something scary. Probably this thing is harmless. It starts to rub its face into my palm... A sign! Time for me to pet it! I touch it's furry ear. It's so soft! And I rub it's back. I wanna squish it tight!!

Sigh. I got more romantic moment with the fox than Lu—

...

Wait! Where is he? My eyes scan the nearby bridge on where I left him yet his not there anymore. I quickly stand, scaring the fox so it run away.

Lucifer might be looking for me. I don't want him angry.

I make a turn, I almost stumble out of surprise seeing Lucifer standing near the tree. He's just behind me all along.

I walk forward. I need to explain myself.

"That foxcat seems to like you." He say.

I flash a wide smile, he saw it too. "It's cute."

"It's a lost soul. It brings danger to whoever creature that get close to it."

My steps cease, after feeling a chill of fright in my skin.

"Yet it didn't harm you." He continue.

I gulp, "But if I spent more time with it, it will probably harm me right?"

He grin. "Indeed, glad that you snap out of it before it talks."

I stare at my hand, looking for any strange particles. That thing might cast a spell on me, or its fur might have a poison. I can't risk it. I'll wash my hand in the river.

I'm about to walk back to the river when a huge hand grabs mine. I look up to see Lucifer, our eyes meet for a moment before I turn away, awkwardly.

I can't see my own face yet I know I'm blushing hard. My heart even pounds faster than normal, I need to calm down. Focus... focus... my mind's focus is on the feels of his hand. This is insane!

"Let's go, we can't stay here for long. You need to sleep and wake up early for school." He talks like a father but I'm in love with his voice.

Falling on a demon isn't easy.

🐑🐑

I can't focus on everything right now my hand is sweating but I don't want to let go from holding him. This is like a dream. Walking together under the cherry tree, holding each others hand while we're still in our uniform. A high school love story freshly out from a manga. Why he's holding me anyway? Don't tell me we have some mutual understanding.

Screams in my thoughts.

"Do you want to say something?" He ask.

It's now or never!

...

"Who's that person you're talking on the phone?"

That's not what I'm suppose to say but I need some warm-up.

"Sadie, she's from the newspaper club."

She— hmn. I pull my hand away. I'm not jealous, my hand is just too sweaty.

"Don't stay away from me, cause if you lost yourself. I will not bother finding you again."

He just hold my hand so that I won't run away, like a lease puppy?!

"I don't want to go home alone. So don't worry." I walk ahead.

Shame on me acting like a jealous girlfriend. I hate myself. Sadie. Never heard that name before.

"Where you going?"

"To the exit. We're going home aren't we?" I respond without turning.

"But I haven't heard your reason yet?"

"A pact, I want you to make a pact with me but I know you won't so it doesn't matter anymore."

"So you give up already?"

"I... can't force myself to someone who don't like me. One of the human rule."

"Is there such thing as human rule?"

"Yeah just now. I made it."

🐑🐑🐑

My dim room seems to make my heart a lot more heavier. I regret everything I said and do from the very start. I mean signing the exchange student program. If I ignore that and didn't fall for its trap then I might not be here going crazy over a demon. I can still feel his hand, his grip lingers in my palm. What should I do!

"So how's the date?" Mammon's voice suddenly echo in my room. I roam my eyes around but I can't see him.

"Where are you? Don't scare me!"

"Awu- find me."

His voice coming from...

...under my bed. I switch the light on so that I can see clearly. He's literally under my bed laying.

"What are you doing? Get out I need to change."

"There's a bathroom."

"Still get out I'm sleepy." I sigh.

"Right after you're done changing."

I give up, drop myself down to the floor, back leaning on the bed. "What you want exactly?"

"Did he hurt you? You look down." He peek his head out.

"No and I don't look down."

"Eh—he's no fun right." He finally move out and sit beside me.

"Mammon do you know someone named Sadie?" I ask.

"I don't, why?"

I stand and stretches my arm up. "Nothing, get out now... I'm going to sleep."

"Fine, fine." He lazily move.

And... finally he's gone.

Why I have some weird feeling towards this Sadie? Someone who I haven't meet. No, this is just jealousy. I guess.

🐑🐑🐑

After inserting a coin grim in the vending machine, a sound of falling soda comes after. I lean down to grab it. I haven't seen the sun for a long time. I suddenly miss the human world. It's depressing when it's always dark. Though I don't feel like I'm losing vitamin D I still feel very healthy.

I'm walking at the school hallway, going back to my class. This morning seems normal, I eat breakfast together with the 7 demon brothers, walk with them to the school, nothings special happened. So it's not worth a talk. Lucifer treated me the same as usual, will what I expect nothings great happened last night.

Near the classroom door two student are standing, blocking the way. A dark hair slender guy, and a purple hair girl. I stand behind them like they automatically move aside without even saying a word. No, actually I'm just scared to approach them. New faces, surely they are not my classmates. Should I just wait for them to leave? I step back, and lean to the other side of the wall, for the meantime.

My eyes unintentionally spots Lucifer who is walking out of the room. What's he doing here? I mutter quietly. He's now facing the girl, that gives my heart a poke.

"Let's go." She say while smiling widely.

Sadie?

Lucifer turns to me, I also looks at him. Hoping he can read my eyes because I literally want to ask who's she. But, he looks away and continue to walk on the hallway, both of them follows him.

Will that hurts.

I release my heavy feeling with a silent deep breath. Is this obsession? I hope not.

"How's your date?" Solomon ask. I didn't notice him coming.

"How you know?"

"Everyone knows."

"Do you know the name of that purple hair girl?"

Solomon's expert, he knows everything so he might know her too.

"They are a member of the newspaper club." He turn to their direction. "Sadie's her name. Why?"

A sudden painful ring in my ears after hearing that name again. So, I'm not wrong.

"Nothing, I just like her hair." I answer, in a huge lie.

He laugh! This is the first time I see him with that expression of amusement. "I can't imagine you with that hair. Maybe, maybe it looks good on you."

"That's not funny." I frown at him.

"Did you make a pact with Lucifer?" His expression turns back to normal.

I shake my head. "That's impossible."

"How impossible?"

"Very. let's get inside." I walk ahead before he able to response.

🐑🐑🐑

I wonder when will be the next time that I can spend an alone time with him. Is that even possible now? Though. There's still a chance, when I become dumb again and ask him out for a second time.

Will that happen? Let's see.

At the bench I'm chillin, swaying my feet in and out. At the front is the baseball field. I've never seen them play here, they say this is one of their sports. I hope to see them play before I leave. Speaking of leaving, when will that be? Diablo never say an exact date on when, but I'm curious. When I go back will my memories here be forgotten the way I forget my life back at human world. I can clearly remember the place, the tree's, the animals, the cars but I don't remember knowing any person in my life back at human world. Like not even a single one.

My stomach randomly groans.

Should I eat my dinner at the Hell's Kitchen again or take out and eat in my room? It's almost 6pm, I'm literally just waiting for this time to come and grab my dinner. I pick up my bag. My butt hurts...ouch. I do a jog on the spot, to reduce the pain in my legs then continue to walk. I've been sitting there for a while now.

Why I'm doing this anyway?

Hope no-one thinks that I'm a avoiding them. I just want to be alone for a moment, and I'm gaining confidence to do it after being afraid for a long time. The rumours spread out in the campus that I am in a pact with the 6 brothers, students treated me differently after that, except that their deadly stares never change but that's it, they can't hurt me.

"How long will I wait!"

My ears perceive an oddly clear voice. She sounded angry for some reason.

That scares me for a while, I thought no-one's around here, will, nevermind I'm feeling hungry I need to go. I make a turn towards the stairs—

...

My breath hitch, heart beats quicken. How will I explain this without crying?

My feet roots on the ground beneath me. Lucifer, stands on the side wall near the exit and Sadie locking him between her arms likes she's pushing the wall. This is the exact sight I hate to see. I feel a pain in my chest like a thousand thorns poking it nonstop.

He already seen me, she also look back at me. I have no choice but to continue my steps down to the stairs, to the exit, out to the school field.

They ain't kissing, so there's nothing wrong. But, what are they doing there, together? My hand grip tight the bag strap. I'm trying to calm myself but it's hard, it just hard. I drags my feet as I walk. Why the gate looks so far away?! That makes me even more frustrated.

Nevermind... the dinner! I'm going home... to my room.

"How long are you going to ignore me?"

I grip the handle more tightly, teeth clench. "I'm not ignoring you!" I exclaims, as I angle to face Lucifer. I know it's him, his voice was already carve in my head, and I pity myself for that.

"I only see you at breakfast, you rarely stay inside your classroom which is odd and you never join us for dinner."

"Levi also rarely joins you for dinner, even Belfie sometimes."

"I'm used to them."

"Then get use to me!"

"Is this your clap back for not agreeing about your pact?" His brows narrow, arms cross over his chest.

He still manage to talk calmly while I'm literally exclaiming all my words. I purse my lips together. I need to calm down before opening my mouth.

"Right..." He sigh, shaking his head out of disbelief. "I'll do a pact with you but release all my brothers from your pact." He continue.

My eyes caught a glimpse of Sadie from the very back. I release a louder sigh and return to walk. I have enough of all that pact thing! I want to be normal again. I don't know what kind of normal but I want to be normal. To fall in love with human, my kind not some demon!
