The Devil and Emily M.

One cold, winter night a girl named Emily M. was doing some last minute Christmas shopping with a couple of her good friends. Everyone loved Emily, she was fun and very outgoing. She was always was the life of the party. Her and her friends went to the mall every year at this time, it was a ritual. They went to almost every store and got all the presents they needed. They stopped into Abrocrombie to check out the new clothes after shopping for everyone else. They all tried on clothes and Emily saw the cutest sweater up on a rack but couldn’t reach it.

"Oh my gosh, do you see him?" Emily asked her friends. "See who? is he cute?" Ann Marie, one of Emilys friends, replied. "The worker over there, in the black." Emily explained. "Wow he is super cute." Steph said excitingly. "Someone go and talk to him." Ann Marie joined in. "Mitch we vote you to, go and ask him to get the new sweater." Liz said. "Are you serious? Ill trip or do something embarrising. How about one of you guys go and talk to him." Emily pleeded. "We all have our clothes we want to try on, plus we voted and you lost, just go, you'll be alright." Liz explained and laughed. "Yeah just be yourself. Nothing has ever stopped you from a boy before." Steph looked at Emily with a big smile. "Oh alright, but you got to stay here and wait for me." Emily agreed to go finally. "We will, good luck" Ann Maire said quietly.

She got the nerve and went over and asked an employee to help her. The boy was tall with dark shaggy hair. He was wearing a black Abercrombie polo with a nametag saying Chris Lived on it. He seemed nice and helpful. When he talked he had a deep, raspy voice and a bright, straight smile. After he reached up and got the sweater Emily thanked him and asked if she could buy him a coffee after he gets off work. Chris smiled and nodded happily. He told her that he got off of work at 8:30 and he would meet her at the Starbucks downstairs when he got done.

Emily was so excited and could not wait until 8:30. She walked around the whole mall and did a little more shopping with her friends until it was time to meet up with Chris. Her friends was so excited for her and walked her to the coffe shop. The Starbucks was packed with people, but Emily found Chris right away. They both had the biggest smiles on their faces. They ordered two drinks and sat down at one of the tables. The whole time Emily was laughing and having a great time. They talked about everything, school, Christmas, family and friends, and what each other liked. Emily didn’t want the date to end. When the mall was about to close they got up and walked to the exit where she parked. Chris had a great time and asked her if she would like to hangout again the day after Christmas. Emily was so excited and said yes without thinking twice about it. They exchanged numbers and said goodnight.

For two straight days Chris and Emily texted back and forth constantly, getting to know each other some more. Emily thought he was perfect and hoped he felt the same. The morning after Christmas Emily got a text asking her if she wanted to go see a movie that night. Emily agreed, and that night after she got ready, he came and picked her up. He bought her her ticket and some popcorn. She thought the date couldn’t be any better then it was. Once the movie ended Chris leaned in and gave Emily a kiss. She was so happy and speechless. She didn’t think anything could bring her down and unhappy.

On their ride home they were talking about the movie and the date and how great it was. Right then and there Chris started going crazy. He was yelling uncontrollably at Emily. She had no clue what was going on or what to do. She kept asking him what was wrong but his face just kept getting redder and redder. She started to get really scared, but she was almost home. Then Chris turned toward Emily and looked at her. His eyes turned red and grew two horns at the top of his head. She was so frightened she couldn’t even think. All of the sudden she realized he could be part devil. She screamed as loud as she could. He just kept yelling things that she couldn’t understand. He pulled into her driveway and she ran out of the car. She thought he would follow her but he just drove away. Once she got into her house she ran past her parents into her room. She collapsed onto the floor. She had no idea what had just happened or how a perfect guy could turn devilish. She was shocked.

A few days after that date she got a call. It was Chris. She didn’t know if she should answer it or not. She let it ring as much as it could but then answered it. It was Chris, with his good, humane voice. They talked for about an hour. He explained to her what had happened. He told her that he was indeed part devil and couldn’t help his foolish acts. Chris apologized for the date and that it had to happen that night. He told her he really liked her and hated the fact that she witnessed what had happened. Emily told him she could not be friends with a person who was part devil. She felt real bad but knew there was no way she could give him a chance
