Recap:

"Is it true?" Lexi asks just as I come back from calling the subject teacher.

"What?"I feign innocence, knowing fully well what she's talking about.

" That Joseph apologized for being foolish and you sent him to hell " she says with amusement and I couldn't help but to laugh.

" If I sent him to hell, then he's too stubborn because as you know, he's in his class. By the way, who told you?"

"Who else, Shay of course. And Jules I'm very proud of you, for the first time you actually used your brain when it came to Joseph. And now is your payback time don't you think? You are going to make him jealous with that new guy and he'll feel threatened because he's no where in his league. And speaking of the devil"

I raise my head and a familiar annoying face walks in with the teacher. His gaze lands on mine and he smirks. I mentally face palm, "Could today get any worse?"

"Good morning students, we have a new student. Why don't you tell the class your name?" The teacher says, while looking at the new boy.

"My name is Desmond Briggs. Just call me Des" he directs that last part at me and I glare daggers at him.

"Okay Desmond, why don't you go find somewhere to sit" Desmond looks around and I scowl as his eyes falls on the empty seat beside me.

No, no, no no. He isn't coming here is he?

I put my hand to my neck like I want to slaughter a goat and passing across the message that says, 'you better not come here or I'll kill you' but the fool just smirks and dump his stupid ass on Michael's spot.

"Hey little fairy" there he goes with that stupid name again. He flashes me a toothy grin and I'd kiss a chicken than admitting that it's sexy.

I close my eyes and take a deep breath, "Oh lord, I know that I've been trying to be a good girl but I think I'm going to commit murder any time soon because this bastard is going to be entertaining a pencil in his ribs if he ever so blinks at me. So please forgive me and I don't want to go to hell"

I open my eyes and I see him trying so hard to contain his laughter. After his little wheezing convulsion he says, "Wow, a pencil to the ribs? Five year olds don't even think like th—ow! What was that for?"

I smirk evilly at him," Keeping my promise to God, dumbass "

"Well it's Desmond, nitwit" he says and my eyes widen but I quickly mask it.

"I really don't care, dork"

"Wow Desmond sat beside you. Like he deliberately did it. I'm so happy for you my friend." now I'm starting to get worried. This is definitely not Lexi, I mean Lexi wouldn't do this kind of thing.

"Who are you and what did you do to Lexi?" Shay asks while studying Lexi closely. You know Shay has this thing that she stares at you for so long and gets you to say the truth if you were lying. I seriously don't know how she does it but I kind of fall for it sometimes.

And by sometimes, I mean every time.

"Uh, can you not do that? I'm just happy for Jules." okay don't be surprised, Lexi falls for it too.

"And why exactly are you happy about the fact that your best friend might be a murderer any time soon?"I ask and she and Shay burst into laughter.

They think that I'm being dramatic!

Shay hasn't really said anything about Lexi's conclusions since but I know that anybody is fine with her as long as 'you're in love and happy', her words not mine.

"Seriously Jules, it's that bad?" Shay asks and I roll my eyes.

"Please let's not talk about that boy." I say as I walk away but not without hearing "Des is no boy, you can trust me on that one" I make a gagging sound.

This new Lexi wants to make me puke.

School finally closes and I sigh. This has been the longest day ever in my school history. I melt the chocolate in my mouth—another habit of mine—while we wait for Shay to finish saying her overly long goodbye to her boyfriend. As if they aren't going to see again before 24 hours, but I guess that's what love does to people.

It is!

Shut up moron, and how would you know that?

Because—

My conscious shuts up as she sees Joseph. I guess she's also checking him out, silly thing. And then another creature comes out of the school's gate, I'm surprised to see him still walking alright because nobody would have survived being stabbed like a hundred times in a day—I wouldn't have—but I guess he has 101 lives.

He walks over to Joseph and they do their bro hug thingy. Holy Moly, do they know each other?

"Yes, they're cousins." Favour says beside me.

"How did you know?" I ask, still finding it hard to believe a devi and an angel are cousins. Okay I'm supposed to be mad at Joseph, that a devil and a little devil can be cousins.

She shrugs, "It doesn't really matter now, does it?"

I want to answer, 'no, it does' or 'yes it doesn't' but instead I just nod "No it doesn't" and she walks away. Who does she think she is, some talking newspaper or something?

"You didn't believe that, did you?" Lexi asks beside me.

I sigh, "I don't care"

"That's great. I don't believe it too"

"Hey guys, we have a problem?" Shay announces as she meets us, the problem sounded as if twas meant to be a question rather than a statement.

"Which is?" "Spill" Lexi and I says simultaneously.

"Those cute guys over there, are families" I step away, not ready to be splashed with saliva as Lexi's jaw hit the ground.

She'd definitely kill me if she knew I used her and saliva in a sentence. But luckily, no one's going to snitch on me.

I will!

Fuck you. You're a greater asshole than Desmond.
