"Who the heck is Jesse Lynn?" I asked as the bell rang, slinging my backpack over my shoulder and following Gil as he headed over to his locker, which was fortunately, very close to mine. There was a fifteen minute break before next period, and I was determined to pester Gil about the school. Mr. Dread had given us two double-sided worksheets, and we decided to meet after school to work on them.

"You don't wanna get near her, trust me. She likes to prank the new kids." He said, opening up his locker and pulling exchanging some books.

"Okay, but who is she?" I asked once again, leaning against the locker next to his. He shook his head.

"She's the most popular girl here. And a bad one too. The boss around here. I try to avoid her much as possible." Gil replied, finally closing his locker and holding a bag of chips in his hand.

"What's her deal?" I questioned, as he opened the bag of potato chips and began to eat some.

"She gets detention, like, a lot. Pranks people-crunch-teases them-crunch- sometimes straight out bullies them. She's mostly mean." I raised an eyebrow and he gulped down his chips. "Like this one time, there was a new kid. And when he came into school he was just an innocent, kind, little soul. But then, right after he started to make some friends, a bunch of water balloons came out of nowhere and drenched him for everyone to see. He was the laughing stock for weeks."

Gil shuddered, and I patted him on the back.  "And it was her."

He handed me some chips and I obliged, and then he shrugged, eating some more.

"Why are you telling me this? It's not like she's going to notice me. And out of all these people here-?" I gestured to the crowd of students.

He gave me a stern and serious look.

"Look, Lukas. I'm telling you this because that new kid was me." My eyes widened at that. "I don't want you to suffer the same fate. She notices, more than you know...and besides, that's what friends do for each other, right?"

Gil shrugged and grinned, before patting me on the shoulder.

"I'll see you later, we have different periods."

I watched him walk away, and a smile reached the edge of my lips.

I have a friend. Maybe I can fit into this hellhole after all.

*"*"*"*"*"*"**"*

I got to second period early, getting ready for class and Gil's words still in my mind. The rest of the students piled in, and the teacher, Mr. Smith, got up to take roll call. Being the shy one and all, I took a seat in the back.

"Lukas?" He asked, and I raised my hand. A few students looked at me, and then went back to their business.

Mr. Smith was an older man, about the same age as Mr. Dread. He had white hair that matched his white beard, a pair of shades on top of his head. He had on a purple suit and a gold watch.

He got to the middle of roll call when something caught my attention.

"Jesse?" He asked, and I snapped up to look at him with interest. He looked around the room. "Jesse Lynn?"

After a few nervous glances shared around the room he shrugged and marked her absent on his list.

I felt nervous for the hundredth time that day.

Jesse Lynn was in my class.

*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*

I sat down next to Gil at the bench outside. The school was indoor as well as outdoor, and the campus was open freely except for the patches of students passing by.

I took out my homemade lunch, a sandwich and a few snacks, and began to eat, desperate to tell Gil the news.

"Man, P.E. is such a killer, man. They made us do so many laps that I thought my legs were going to fall off." He said, amused. "What's up with you? Anything interesting?"

Gil took a sip of his drink as I fiddled with my hands.

"Um, so you know that girl? Jesse?" I asked and he nodded. "Well, she's sorta in my class-"

He turned away from me as a burst of water fired out of his mouth. Then he started to cough, and wipe the water from his lips.

Gil turned to me, fear in his dark colored eyes.

"You are a dead man Lukas." He said firmly, putting his hands on his head. "You are a dead man."

"Come on Gil, it can't be that bad-" I winced as he gave me a glare. "Can it?"

"You don't know the things she can do-wait, wait, wait. Was she here? Did you see her? What happened?"

I put my hands up in surrender as he bombarded me with questions.

"She was absent today." I said and he let out a sigh of relief.

"What are you going to do?" He asked me curiously. I replied with a shrug.

"Deal with whatever hell throws at me."

Gil sighed and began eating a granola bar. Then he looked at me and said bitterly: "Be careful Lukas, whatever you're going to do, just know that you're playing with a demon."
