The+Devil+and+Emily+P.

It was a warm May night and Emily was walking through downtown Libertyville on her way to dance. She was walking past the movie theater when her phone rang.

“Emily, it’s Kristen…from Spanish.” Kristen was a new girl at Emily’s school and Emily thought she seemed nice.

Kristen was a new girl at Emily's school, Carmel, and Emily thought she seemed nice. “Oh hey what’s up?”

“Nothing, I was getting ready to leave for the Matchbox 20 concert and wanted to know if you wanted to come with me. I have an extra ticket at last minute,” said Kristen.

“Uh, I have dance right now and I was sick all last week so I probably can’t. Sorry," Emily said feeling good that she still was going to dance.

Emily is usually the type of girl that lives for concerts! She loves Matchbox 20 but the situation almost seemed too good to be true. The only bad thing was that she loved to dance even more than concerts but knew the responsibility she had for the Nutcracker play coming up in a couple of weeks. Plus, her parents and dance teacher would kill her if they found out she was missing dance right now. Missing dance was out of the question.

“Oh come on, it’s just one dance and it’s Matchbox 20! Honestly Emily, it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity and these seats that I have are amazing!” Kristen explained to Emily. Emily knew that if her parents found out, she would be grounded for life her because they would never let her go down to the city without a parent.

“Well okay just this once, but do you think I will get caught?” Emily said nervously.

“I promise it will be fine. Okay I’ll come and pick you up right now for the concert and then I’ll drive you home, you will be back before you know it!” said Kristen. Emily finally gave in and agreed to go. They then hung up the phone and before she knew it, Kristen showed up in the car and they dove off to the concert together.

Kristen was right, the seats and concert were amazing! Emily thought that was the best night of her life until she got home and she parents were furious because her dance teacher called her house asking if she had felt better. Emily had her phone taken away for the next week.

At school, the next Monday, Emily and Kristen were talking about the concert in Spanish class and because they weren’t doing their class work, they both received detentions. Soon Emily and Kristen were talking so much and became best friends but Emily soon picked up a bad reputation by hanging out with Kristen. Kristen soon had Emily skipping classes and sneaking out on the weekends. Finally one Saturday night, Emily’s best friend Lauren asked her what was wrong with her and why she was acting so weird. Emily just told Lauren to mind her own business and that if she wasn’t going to have fun with Kristen then they shouldn’t be friends anymore. A month later Emily and Kristen were driving around when the cops pulled them over. Kristen turned out to have all of these stolen and fake tickets to concerts. Luckily, Emily was let go and just taken home to her home, but because this wasn’t Kristen's first time in trouble with the police she was sent to juvie for a short time.

Once Kristen left, Emily hadn’t liked the new way she was acting so, the next Tuesday, Emily saw Lauren eating and finally realized how much she had hated not talking to Laurn and how much she had missed her as a friend. So we had changed and how peo went over to her and started talking about everything and how she was sorry for how she was towards Lauren. Luckily Lauren was such a good friend, she didn' want to ruin thier friendship and forgave Emily for her mistake. Emily and Lauren grew closer that week and Emily learned how bad it was to follow the Devil.
