Demon Summoning For Dummies

by Batak Beatrix

“Check this out,” she says, pulling a book out of her bag and throwing it on the table. “I got it off the internet.”

I read the title aloud, not quite believing the words coming out of my mouth. “A High Schooler’s Guide to Demon Summoning: A Quick Fix for Those Years of Woe.”

Kara grins at me. “Sounds promising, yeah?”

“And this is why nobody sits with us at lunch,” I tell her. “Now put that away before one of the nuns sees us and gives us detention.”

She waves me off and opens it to the table of contents. “See, look here. There’s an entire chapter on obtaining dance dates. Mr. Hair Toss over there won’t stand a chance.”

“This is twisted,” I say, putting up a text book as a barricade against stray eyes. Since I did still have hope of going on at least one date in high school, the last thing I needed was for the gossip mill to peg me as a member of a satanic cult. “It’ll never work.”

“Well if you’re so certain then I guess you have no problem trying it out, right?”

“I guess.”

I’m so going to Hell.

    I love the last thought. I believe we’ve all felt that way about something we were planning on doing.

    LMAO . And then to find out it’s in a Catholic school!
    I wonder if Kara’s really a demon. But then of course the holy water would kill her, so maybe not.

    I too am a product of Catholic school. Kara is a great character, the trouble that girl could get the main character into.. the line ’ Mr. Hair Toss, was classic sarcasim loved it. Sequel even better then the prequel.
