"Paola!"
"This is the most fun I've had as your friend—-"
"Uh...did you just insult me?"
"And can I just say how much Ilovethe new you?"
"There's nothing new about me—-"
"Says the girl whose dress is worth ten thousand bucks—-"
My eyes widen in shock. "You're kidding, right?"
"So do your shoes, in case you're wondering."
I can't believe I'm wearing stuff that's worthmoremoney than I've ever seen in my entire life.
"Please tell me you'll stay like this forever—-"
"No." I start shoving mac & cheese inside my mouth in hopes that my friend will take the hint, butnope.
"I don't get why you're acting embarrassed about this," Paola remarks with a wrinkle of her nose. "Aren't you also the same girl who's told everyone this 'new' you—-"
"Stop calling me that," I groan.
"—-is all because of your 'sir'?"
Aaargh.
I knew we'd get to that sooner or later.
Paola looks at me slyly. "You could've called him something else if you wanted to hide his identity. But you didn't. Is it because—-"
"He's very private," I say weakly.
"Or kinky. Hemadeyou call him that, didn't he?"
I fight to keep my face expressionless, but it's no use, and Paola gasps. "Oh my God, I'm right, aren't I?Way to go, girl!"
I should've known Paola would think it's a good thing I've hooked up with someone who insists on letting everyone know I call him 'sir', and all I can do is brace myself when I see my friend eagerly leaning forward. I'm sure she's going to say something more embarrassing—-
"Have you had sex yet?"
"Oh my God, Paola."
The other girl's face lights up. "Now I get it. He's kinky, you're prudish. No wonder this guy's obsessed with you—-"
I cross and uncross my legs at the thought of the Devil being obsessed with me. "It's not like that—-"
"Oh, please." Paola rolls her eyes at me. "After everything he's given you, and with how much you've changed because of'sir'—-how can it be anything else but that?"
When she puts it like that, I get why it seems to her that my 'sir' is obsessed with me, but will she still think the same thing if she finds out that 'Sir' is none other than the Devil himself?
It's because of my friend's research that I found out about the Devil in the first place, and since Paola's the type to have a pretty strong opinion about everything, I can only wonder what the other girl would have to say if she finds out I've made a deal with the Devil.
If Paola finds out that the "new" me is merely a by-product of the Devil's punishment, will she still think he's obsessed with me...or will she also see things the way I see it, and warn me against letting the Devil get under my skin?
I'm still thinking about this when Paola and I head our separate ways, and I must've been so lost in my thoughts that when I turn around the corner I end up bumping into another girl—-
