Taming the Devil (EDITED AND REVISED)

Chapter-9

I don't want to tell this to aunt stella as she is already sick worried about me. There was no one here that would understand my situation. Emily was new to me so i chose not to tell her.

Wait, i can call lynn. She will listen to me.

I quickly called lynn. When i heard her voice i was sobbing so badly.

"Scar, are you okay? What happened?" She sounded scared.

"Um i guess i'm. It's just i thought my life is improving but it seems like i pissed off satan himself in my previous life that he is playing with my current life" I was sobbing lightly.

"Hey it's ok. I know you are going through a lot. But trust me everything is going to be better one day. Now stop ruining yourself and get some rest. I'm gonna hang up now."

"I hope it does get better. Okay take care. Bye."

"Take care."

By the time i was done crying birds were returning to their nests and sky displayed all streaks of orange and yellow. I called aunt stella and told her i will manage to take bus home. She was reluctant at picking me up first but finally agreed.

Fortunately i didn't have to wait for bus. It was ride of 25 minutes from school to home. While travelling micheal's words were buzzing in my head.

According to me you are ugliest and most useless organism that ever existed on this very planet

But why i'm even getting bothered so much?! Yes i know i'm fat and people reminded that my entire life. Just leave it scarlett.

I exhaled heavily and focused outside. After getting home i went straight to my bedroom and crashed on bed.

"You are a fucking useless piece of shit. You think you are cool because what you did with rebeccah. But according to me you are ugliest and most useless organism that ever existed on this very planet. Last time i'm telling you don't fucking test my limits and stay out of my way. Next time you mess with me i will make sure you regret moving to Chicago."

"Awe look at the hippo heading to class." Rebeccah smiled while hugging micheal. Everyone drowned in laughter.

The voices became aggressively loud and were ripping my mind apart. I jolted in bed. I haven't had nightmare in long time. It brought back old unwanted memories that were a black spot on me.

It was still dark outside and everything was peacefully quiet. I really liked midnights and dawn. The silence calmed down my nerves. This micheal thing is getting on my nerves. It's best i avoid anything and everything related to him.

He is insanely hot. You gotta admit it. My conscience popped up after so many days.

"Yea i know he is hot but way out of my league and plus he hates me. So it's better i'm away."

Everytime i talked or thought about micheal i felt tingles inside me. Butterflies went frenzy. Yes i sort of like him despite his bitter comments. But if i go any further it's going to destroy me i know that. That sort of feelings are not my thing and i doubt in my current situation anyone will love me. So it's better to stay neutral.

Distant chirpping of birds brought me out of train of thoughts. Cool fresh breeze flew and sky was getting painted in blues and yellows. It was so nice and fresh that i decided to go on a short morning walk.

I quickly put on my track pants and a black t-shirt along with jogging shoes. I put on earphones and songs started playing. I slowly jogged downstairs and opened the door. Morning breeze welcomed me.

I was jogging but i could not get micheal out of my head. I was picturing shirtless micheal. So hot and edible.

Ew scarlett you hate him remember?!

That voice came again from back of my mind.

I brushed off the thoughts and continued jogging.

When i came home aroma of coffee greeted me and my stomach grumbled. Aunt stella was preparing breakfast but she seemed so tired. I ate eggs, bread and coffee and went upstairs to get ready for school.

Emily was on time as usual. While going out i told aunt stella that i will cook dinner tonight. She really needs rest. She was thankful.

Rest of the day went normally. Rebeccah tried to trigger me but i kept my cool and thankfully i didn't have another encounter with micheal.

Emily dropped me home. Aunt stella was still not home. But there was a parcel at doorstep by my name. I wonder what's in there and who sent it.
