Playing the Demon’s Deadly Games

"Here’s your pocket lunch, eat it. Be careful at school, too. Listen carefully to your teachers, my daughter. Don't forget to pray and do great with your studies." Mom reminded me.

"Yes mom, I promise. I’ll get going now, I might be late for my first class." I said goodbye.

I said goodbye to mom and left. Mom reminded me of a few more things which I immediately agreed to.

I am an obedient child and I am afraid to disobey my mother. Apart from the fact that I really don't want to do something that she won't like, I'm really scared of her.

After I left our house, I met Trinity, my best friend, Trinity Quintos. She always tags me along with all her whatnots and pranks. Others said that Trinity is a bad influence, I just shook my head.

“How are you, my dear Faith? Has Clay messaged you yet? Maybe you don't even like that one." Trinity asked.

"Trinity, you know my mother doesn't want me to have a relationship, especially since I haven't finished school yet. He’s also not my type, he is obviously a cheater. He gives off an aura of a playboy. Stop pairing me to strangers." I answered her.

"Oh come on, Faith, you're 18! Aunty is too strict with you, look, if I give you a broom now, you would pass like a witch with what you're wearing. You should learn to style yourself up too. Duh, what a waste of beauty if not exposed. Show your beauty Faith!" Trinity's insults.

My mother made me wear a black knee-length skirt and white long sleeves. I dressed it up with white doll shoes, do I look like a witch? I think not.

"Trinity, there's nothing wrong if I follow mom. It's also for my own good." I preached to her.

"Hays, I brought you some clothes. Change into them at the restaurant we'll pass by first. Put them on, you’re not allowed to say no. I don't want you to be looked down upon again at school." Trinity said.

She reached for a paper bag before pulling me to run. Somebody might catch us, naughty Trinity! 

We stopped running in front of a restaurant. Fortunately, there weren't many people. It is a Chinese cuisine.

"Hi Jericho, my friend will just change in your bathroom for just a couple of minutes. While you don't have customers." Trinity said to a man who seemed to work here.

Trinity gestured for me to go into the bathroom and change so I just followed. I'm going to hurry because I won't win an argument with Trinity, I don't want to be bullied at the school. I’m getting tired of dealing with them.

I opened the paper bag Trinity handed to me earlier. It consists of a high waist short, printed tee and shoes.

I put on what Trinity gave me. It suits me because somehow my body have a good shape. I also have fair skin and I have blonde hair because of my father. Trinity says I'm beautiful, but she still insults me because she says I dress like an ancient person.

"See, you're beautiful! You should always wear decent clothes!" Trinity greeted me when I left the bathroom.

She even put light makeup on my face. I didn't refuse because I'm sick of being bullied at our school, I'm really sick of it. Even though we are in senior high school, bullies are still trendy.

"That's perfect. I don't know if Bianca the bitch will still insult you. I'm really annoyed by that one, I always feels like she’s superior.” He says.

Bianca Uytengsu is the Queen-B in our school who has been bullying me. She is poweful because her patents are one of the owners of the school. I'm just a scholar at Women's Union College.

Trinity and I walked our way to school. It's only walking distance from both of our houses so we don't have to ride.
