as the day grew close to night, Roxanne stayed up to study the answer sheet Rodney had given her "so where did you get those cheat codes little rocker, I thought you werent the cheating type" Alex flew around her head without care, trying his best to push her buttons "well Alex, if you must know, i got them from Rodney and these are desperate times, a mans got to do what a mans got to do" "where have i heard that excuse, i know was from somewhere but where" "hell" "oh yeah, by thousands who have sinned" he snapped his fingers and landed right on top of her desk "so why don't you get rid of that sin and do this right" Roxanne scowled at him "this is a chance for me to actually get a good grade here, I'm not throwing away my chance" she said to the demon "well then i will see you in hell" "i guess so" Alex grumbled under his breath before lifting Roxanne from her seat "come on im trying to mess with you, mess with me back" "sorry but i dont have time to mess around, im commiting a sin" She said with a smirk, her skin shined in the dim light of her lava lamp, the glowing radiant velvet reflected in the room and onto the demon who could only look in awe "you know, this is quiet the predickumant your in" "how so" she asked now ontop of the floating demon "well, your 6ft in the air in the arms of a demon, who could kill you right here, all i would have to do is slit your throat with my claws then i could just damn your sould to hell" he said taking his claw and softly grasping Roxannes neck "and what if i want that, what if i want to die then burn for all eternity in hell, pay the price for everything i have done wrong" she said taking his claw to help squeeze tighter, the two stared at each other with blank expressions, he took his claw from her throat and onto her cheek, the glow of the room creating the perfect hellish scene, almost like a hell fire roaring, the heat wasnt there but Roxanne could feel it, the fire burning her skin almost to a roasting death but that was only her head now, Alex looked at the strange girl who continue to tighen his grip around her neck, she was unlike any human he had ever encountered in all his exisitence, she was different, from the glem in her different colored eyes to her button like nose, she was a temptrest... "well then..." he said before smirking, startling her "i will gladly watch you suffer" he said before taking her off of him and placing her back onto the floor "how kind of you" she said blankly before smiling with a friendly sort of smile "jerk" she muttered as she walked back to her desk and studying her answer's for her finale, the light of the lamp helped her to slowly begin drifting away from reality to a land of no pain and no frustration and no sin, Alex saw this of course "you need to go to bed" he said tapping her shoulder "and what if i dont want to" she yawned, the demon then picked her up, she laid limp in his arms "then i will put you in it myself" he carried her to the other side of the room and placed her on the bed ever so gently and gingerly "noooo i have to study" she groaned "noooo you have to sleep" he mocked before wrapping her in her blankets to make sure she didnt escape "hey Alex" she groaned, he looked over at her, the demon slowly turned with a gentle smile on his face "yeah Roxy" "thanks for being a real friend, even when i dont want you too" she yawned before falling into her own world "no problem" he spoke, before walking over to the closet, walking inside, and closing the door...that night, Roxanne dreamed of a better world, a world where she didnt have to act tought to stay out of danger, where she could be a child for no matter how old she was, she wandered around this world for so long, as if it was her reality and the world she lived in was juts a nightmare.
Rodney stood outside on his balcony and stared stupidly at the silver teardrops that never seemed to outshine their awe "what are you doing kid, you have to go to bed" "just give me a few more minutes out here, I'm trying to think" "really or are you just dreaming of Roxanne again" he mocked while making kissy faces at him, Rodney rolled his eyes "stay in your head and I'll stay in mine" he groaned before giving his attention back to the sky, the lights continued to shine without fail, it was breathtaking, the milky way could be seen clearly from where he stood and the clouds made it seem as if it were a scene from Romeo and Juliet, a beautiful and romantic scene, meant for two "you are thinking about that girl aren't you?..." Rodney tensed, he then glared at the demon who had his arms crossed and his eyes to a narrow "so what if I am, she's just a friend" "ah ah ah, that's not wat your heart says my young horny friend" The demon mocked, the boy looked down and saw that he was indeed turned on, he blushed before quickly pulling his shirt down "okay one, why the hell are you looking and two we could never work out, she's a Taurus and I'm a Sagittarius, we would never last" The demon looked at him, shocked that it was him of all humans who were giving up, this must be serious "hey, dont let your birth sign get in the way of how you feel kid, I-I was just messing with you, you know that right..." the demon placed his hand on the boy's shoulder before the boy looked back at him "you know, I'm not gonna lie to you but I have sometimes seen you as more of a father figure than a friend" "why?" "I don't know man, but I have and its weird of the thought of having a demon for a dad right" "yup so never think of me like that again or I will kick your ass, got it" the demon now squeezing on his shoulder with inhuman strength making the boy squeal "AH AH AH AH!!!" he squealed "NOW BEG HUMAN, BEG FOR MERCY!!!" "MERCY, MERCY FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!" Rodney squealed, the demon stopped before the two fell to the ground and started laughing "fucking dork" the demon said "yeah i know, Roxanne called me that the other day" he sighed at the memory of how he was talking about one of his favorite movies and she just happend to show up "OH MY GOD YOUR FUCKING GIRL CRAZY!!! HA HA!!!" "DUDE SHUT UP!!" Rodney jumped onto he demon before being thrown back into the room "OH EXCUSE ME FOR TELLING THE TRUTH, JUST FUCKING ASK HER OUT, GET IT OVER WITH ALREADY, GOD WHY ARE TEENAGE BOYS SO HARD T DEAL WITH!!!" "its not that simple" Rodney said to the demon "she's like a fusion of a gangster and a fucking bull, a gangster bull and nobody wanst to have a rodeo with that, she'll probably kick my ass if i try to say something to her" "i doubt it" "THIS IS MY PROBLEM NOT YOURS!!" "YEAH WELL AT LEAST I HAVE THE BALLS TO ACTUALLY TRY TO ASK HER OUT!!!" "YOU WOULDN'T!?!" "OH I WOULD AND SO WILL OTHER GYUS OUT THERE, THATS WHY YOU HAVE TO ASK HER OUT NOW!!!" "YOUR RIGHT I WILL!!!" "THATS THE SPIRIT" Rodney got up from the ground and made his way to the balcony "whoa whoa whoa what are you doing?" the demon asked, Rodney stared at him blankly "im going to go ask Roxanne out?" "its 12 a night, get your ass to bed" "but-" "now" "fine"
