It's the early hours of Monday morning, and the whole group is crowded around a table in the school cafeteria, laughing and goofing off. Haydon and Ethan, grinning with mischief, lean in to share a story they've been dying to tell.
"So, get this," Haydon begins, "I was walking down the hall when I saw this girl. I knew I had to go in with full rizz mode." He leans back, putting on his most exaggerated 'Rizz face' as if he were posing for the cover of a romance novel.
Everyone's already laughing, but Ethan cuts in with even more excitement. "And then, out of nowhere, I appear with my phone blasting that one song…"
He holds up his phone dramatically as if it were a prized weapon. "♪Sin City wasn't made for you♪…"
Willow and Ava exchange eye-rolls, trying to hold back laughter. "Let me guess," Ava says, smirking. "It totally worked, right?"
"Of course it worked" Haydon replies, with slight offence.
"She practically fell for me at one glance"
She hands over her phone number to Haydon.
"Talk later *RIZZ*" he adds, winking and walking away in slow motion.
The group is laughing at their stupid story.
"You're both the biggest idiots in Faraday School history," says a detached voice
Later in class, Kai zones out, to his own world talking to his demons, no literally that's what he's doing. Well, the soul of the Demon that he had extracted the other day. The demon's voice begins to sound in his mind.
"Listen to me, yeah, there's bare demons out there, and you're just lucky you got the one chill one, innit."
"Name's Alexander. But lemme bestow upon you some guidance styl. Yeah, you see I got that vocab innit, now back to the task at hand. Lately, those little demons are getting bare aggressive can't lie, but there's one demon he is chatting BARE y'know, his name is Stefen, wet ass name styll can't lie."
Kai blinks, slightly confused but intrigued by Lewis's mannerisms but is finally able to summon up the courage to ask the best question he could think of. "Why…why are you talking like that?"
"Nah, talking like what fam?" Lewis responds, sounding genuinely surprised. "Talking like THAT" replies Kai irritated by how he is speaking
"Anyways Fam, back to business, there's a demon out there that goes by Stefan. I need you to y'know take him out since he killed me or whatever" Alexander's tone shifts to embarrassment.
"So revenge" Kai replies
Completely ignoring Kai, Alexander continues "I hope you enjoy my gift and that."
"Gift?" Kai asked confused
Suddenly
"KAI!" says the Teacher
"Are you listening?"
"Huh? Oh, yeah I was listening," Kai says, trying to look like he was focused.
*DRNGGGGG* (lunch bell, Still working on those sound effects)
As Kai is walking out of his class he decides to track down the rest of the group, figuring they'd be up to something interesting. As he walks down the hall, he hears familiar voices echoing from an empty classroom and grins, panning to scare them. But as he gets closer, he pauses, picking up on the odd conversation inside.
"I'm sure girls don't care about the size," Haydon's voice drifts through the s; slightly open door. "It's all about its personality, y'know? Who cares if it's impotent"
Haydon said to comfort Ethan.
Kai raises his eyebrows, bewildered. 'What on earth are they talking about?'
While thinking this Kai nudges the door slightly, making it creak, as this happens Kai realizes he had made a BIG mistake, Kai feared for his safety and couldn't know for certain if he would survive today.
Haydon and Ethan whip their heads toward the sound, spotting Kai peeking in.
"Oh shoot…did you hear that?" Ethan says
"Uh.. on second thought, I think I'll go find the others,"
Kai mumbles, slowly backing away
Kai breaks into a sprint, racing down the hallways as he hears their footsteps chasing after him. But just as he rounds a corner, he slips on a random banana peel on the floor. He crashes to the ground, looking up to see Haydon and Ethan looming over him, smiling down with a sinister glee.
In the next instant, Kai finds himself tied to a chair in a classroom, struggling against the ropes. Ethan leans in, Holding a baseball bat, while Haydon stands behind him, his hands resting on Kai's shoulders.
"You'd better keep quiet about this, or else…" Ethan says in a low, threatening voice.
Haydon leans in close, whispering, "You better listen to him, yeah?"
Kai gulps, nodding in terrified agreement.
A few minutes later, Ava and Willow are walking through the halls until to Ava's surprise a Demon Ghoul shows up roaming the halls... Oh wait no it's just Kai looking so horrified he looked like a ghoul.
"What happened to you?" Ava said to Kai
"YoU dOnT wAnNa KnOw." Kai said with a shaky voice
