Chapter 14 - Friends?
Amy Angel
I guess that I can't lie to you.
I then sat down next to him and looked at him right in his green eyes.
Amy Angel
Do you solemnly swear not to tell anyone?
Benjamin Snowden
I promise.
Amy Angel
No, that's an empty promise. I know that Devils can lie and this is really important...
Amy Angel
If you want to know the truth, you'll have to promise me honestly.
He then looked at me and sighed, rubbing the back of his head.
Benjamin Snowden
Fine. And in exchange, you don't tell anyone about what you just saw.
Benjamin Snowden
The... drawings.
Amy Angel
But I think that they are really cool!
Benjamin Snowden
Wait, you think so?
Amy Angel
Yeah! They're amazing!
Benjamin Snowden
It's just drawing is normally a... non-devil thing to do.
Amy Angel
What? But what does that matter? You like drawing, don't you? Then, draw!
I smiled at him gently, reassuring him. He couldn't believe this...
Benjamin Snowden
Okay. I promise on my brother's grave that I won't share your secret.
Amy Angel
Okay. I'm human.
Hold on, that might have been too blunt.
Amy Angel
I'm a human who can use magic. I somehow got transported here and in order to send myself back, I've got to cultivate and grow my magic power so that I can have enough.
Benjamin Snowden
So, you're not a Devil?
Benjamin Snowden
You're... human.
He then looked into my eyes and took off the glove from his hand and placed it onto my cheek.
Benjamin Snowden
As I thought... you're telling the truth.
Benjamin Snowden
My family is one of the less noble families. My mother betrayed the Devil King and as a result, our family rank was demoted and we were only left with our money.
Benjamin Snowden
And to punish our family for harbouring a traitor, the Devil King put a curse on our family. That we could see people's thoughts through skin touch.
That seems cool but then, I guess it isn't really.
Amy Angel
I see why you distance yourself from people now.
Benjamin Snowden
And you... why did you think that you wanted to be my friend?
Amy Angel
Yeah. You stood up for me when you didn't even know me. To me, that's a step towards friendship.
Benjamin Snowden
You do realise that Devils don't typically make friends.
Amy Angel
But don't you think that there are times where exceptions should be made?
Amy Angel
You're by yourself but even then, things get lonely.
Amy Angel
So why don't you we try and get along?
He looked right into my eyes and then touched my hand.
Indeed, my intentions were pure. No lies, nothing to Warren a refusal.
Benjamin Snowden
Okay, but it's your funeral.
Benjamin Snowden
By the way, what's your name?
Amy Angel
Amy. Any Angel. But people here should call me Amy Brace.
Amy Angel
This is great! My second friend!
Benjamin Snowden
Second? Who's your first?
A second later, me and Ben were standing in front of Cal.
Benjamin Snowden
H-He's your friend? Calvin Bentley from the House of Bentley?
Cal Bentley
Why is he here?
Amy Angel
He's our new friend!
Cal didn't seem happy. Then, Ben turned around and snarled.
Benjamin Snowden
Seems like I'm not welcome here.
He then walked away and as he did, a piece of paper fell out of his sketchbook.
Amy Angel
Hey! Ben, wait! You dropped something.
I then took a glimpse of it and couldn't believe my eyes.
Amy Angel
The plan for a prank?
Benjamin Snowden
Yeah, but it requires three people to execute.
Amy Angel
You guys prank here?
Benjamin Snowden
If you successfully prank a teacher, you get extra credit.
Amy Angel
Hold on, really?
Cal Bentley
Of course not.
Benjamin Snowden
Humans are so guillable.
Amy Angel
He kind of figured it out. Anyway, why don't we try this! It seems fun.
Benjamin Snowden
I thought that you were a goody two-shoes.
Amy Angel
I guess you were wrong.
Amy Angel
Are you in, Cal?
Amy Angel
Come on! It'll be fun!
Cal Bentley
Fine. Only because I hate teachers.
Amy Angel
Yay! Let's pull off a prank!
