Accidental Brother

Monster

We have been dancing for like an hour, though I was holding back

The reason, cause my best dance is twerking, I know it will give me a lot of attention but it will make me appear slutty, so I was just moving around, 

"Come on dance harder" Oliver prompt me but I couldn't free myself

"Am thirsty can you get me something?" I said and Oliver left to get me water, I took a deep breath

I search the crowd to see Martha dancing with Mike, he is our classmate, 

People are busy dancing then it surprised me when I saw some guys smoking

Now this isn't what I pictured, I know parties that have smokers ends in a fight 

Now I remembered the devils warning, suddenly I want to leave

"Cupcake" I heard his voice even in all this music, I turn to see the devil

"What are you doing here" I said, so he came even when he warned me not to

"No time to argue, let's go" he said with a firm voice, does he think am his property 

"Am not going anywhere" I said, I don't want to be pushed around, he wasn't even listening cause he grabbed my wrist and dragged me out, I didn't want to create a scene so I went with him, I looked back to see Martha rushing behind us. I guess I will apologize to Oliver on Monday

"I forgot my purse," I said, I left it on the sofa I sat with Oliver, I tried to go back into the house, I got stuck when I saw Emma's parents drove in, now am glad the devil came for me

"Let's bail, the parents are here" I said, am glad am already outside the compound

"You moron, isn't your ID in your purse," the devil said and I realized how much trouble I will be if the parents find it

"Are you with yours?" I asked Martha and she nodded

"Go home, I will take care of it" the devil said, I tried to object "now" he persisted and I ran home with Martha

I even have no other way to retrieve the purse and am so glad the devil came to my rescue

"Your brother sure saved the day" Martha said as we are going home 

"Sure he did" I said as I fear what will happen if he get caught. 

When I got home I kept pacing around, the devil is not yet back, I hope he is not captured

It's already 1 am and he is not back, we left by 12, I can't believe I will one day worry about that devil, and I hate it when he called moron, he never for once called me names, it really weakened me when he did. Relieve flush over me when I saw him walk in

"You are back" I rushed over to me, he looked taken back

"Awww, so you were worried about me" he mocked me, I was, but I won't let him know

"Am just worried you won't find my ID, and I will be in trouble" I said

"Hmmm, you have so little faith in me cupcake" he said handing over my purse, I checked to see my ID, "since everything is in order, I will head to bed" he said with a yawn. 

I wonder if he has been there or just came, but am glad he came on time to save me, I do want to thank him but knowing this devil, he won't let me live it down

"Were you caught?" I asked since when he went back Emma's parents are already inside and students are running helter-skelter 

"Don't worry about that cupcake all is well" he said then stopped as he was about to enter his room "you are no moron" he said then shut the door behind him, I felt relieved with his last statement, and then comes the scary part when I realize I have a smile on my face. 

"Get hold of yourself Esther" I muttered then went into my room, as I lay on my bed I started reminiscing on what happened today. It was just perfect, I hope Oliver got out if I have his number I would've called. Nonetheless, I will see him on Monday. 

When our parents came home on Sunday, I thought the devil will report me but he didn't, he actually said the weekend went freely, truthfully the nicer he is the more scared I am, it is like the calm before the storm, and it kills me when he looks my way and smirk. 

I was on an edge the entire weekend, I relaxed a little when Monday came, it had a lot to do with seeing Oliver, yea definitely. With him on my mind, I went to school with enthusiasm. 

When I came to school I looked for Oliver, I went to him immediately I saw him

"So how did you go on Friday" we asked together 

"My brother came and took me before they arrived" I answered first and he sighed, he looked relieved

"What about you" I asked

"I ran when they arrived, I looked for you but couldn't find you so I figured you left" he said with a shrug

"Am glad we are both safe" I said giving him a cute smile, he returned the gesture

"I heard some people were caught, and will severely be punished today" he said, and I felt sorry

"It ought to happen, they were smokers in there, no parents will be happy about that" I said as I remembered the smokers

"Thank God we weren't, come on let's get to class" he said and we both walked to class. When we entered I involuntarily again look at the devil's side, but he wasn't there, and some of your classmates are not. 

"Where are some of our classmates, am sure they didn't drive anybody for school fees" I said to Martha. 

"Nop, they were all sent to the principals' office" Martha said sadly, she is really sad

"Why?" I asked

"They were the ones caught on Friday" she said and my eye widened, then I looked at the devils' desk, he is still not there

"Is the devil among?" I asked, already feeling my chest tightened

"Yes," she said, now I know why she is sad, cause the devil is caught and it is my fault. 

Guilt hit me like never before, am not even worried if he exposes me, I will be glad if he does, I kept looking at the entrance hoping he will come looking so badass like he used to. Time seems to go slower and teaching became noise to ears, and it was Economics my favorite subject. 

After what seemed like forever, the student came back, the guys' eyes are red, as for the girls they were all crying, but the devil was not among them, maybe he is not among those that are punished or his own is worse, am already chewing my nails as I can't keep calm. 

"He's back" I heard Martha, so I looked at the entrance, and sure as hell, the devil is back looking total badass, unlike the guys he doesn't seem to be in pain. My lips curve into a smile, he is unpunished 

"Your brother is a monster" I heard Tina said I turned to her, she is among does that were punished, her eyes are still red from the tears

"What do you mean" I asked, I know he is the devil but I felt angry hearing another person refer to him as a Monster.
