"Say goodbye, as we dance with the devil tonight. Don't you dare look at him in the eye, as we dance with the devil tonight." I woke to that tune on my alarm.
"Great, now I'll have that stuck in my head." I pulled out my cell phone and texted Ned.
Hey Ned are you going to the café to work on homework again?
:)Josie3
I waited like two seconds before he texted back.
I always do lol.
I glared at the phone and then sighed.
Can I join you?
:)Josie3
I waited.
Sure. Be there at like four. :)
I walked to the Store. I was homeschooled and hardly did my schoolwork because I had graduated early.
"Melinda, do you have anything you need me to do?" I asked.
"Can you watch the store? I'm going out with Sam." She said hurriedly.
I walked behind the counter and stood with my hand in the saluting posture. "Good luck!" I shouted. She smiled and hugged me.
"I have some breakfast for you in the back." She said. I nodded and sat down on the little stool.
"See you after your date." I said happily. She ran out the door when Sam walked into sight.
"Sighed happily at the couple and hummed under my breath. Sweet Blasphemy was stuck in my head. I took a cloth and started softly wiping all the antiques.
A young woman walked into the store.
"Do you have any plates?" She asked. I nodded and walked over to the plate area.
"These are all we have." I said.
The lady walked over to one of the plates and lifted up to inspect it. "This is beautiful! How much?"
"I think its 25 dollars." I said. I went behind the counter and looked at the prices. "Yep, its 25 dollars."
The lady walked up to the counter, set the plate down, and pulled out some money. I turned around and saw a teenage girl standing besides the woman.
"What do you need?" I asked looking at her.
Long black hair fell down the sides of her face. A white tattered dress hung from her shoulders. A veil hid the rest of her hair. Her skin was pale and had purplish bruises.
"Oh crap, this is the girl." I said looking at the ceiling.
"You can see me?" She asked eagerly. I nodded and motioned the sing for later. She nodded and disappeared.
