Miss Advisor –no kidding it was her real name she said first time you met– poured hot water in her teapot for the fourth time this morning. She needed something to hold her from crumbling until lunch break at least.
«Hm… Miss ?» She held her finger toward you, you bit your tongue. «Just… A second, Julian. I need a second.»
Advisor inhaled deeply before cursing like a sailor while you stood in your chair mouth agape. Never had an adult in your old school lashed out this way in front of a student and you were actually kind of amazed by the quantities of curse words she knew. You learned at least six.
Then she came back behind her desk with her teapot the size of your head and her “I’m here” mug.
«Pardon me for just now. I’m a little on edge and you brought up quite the… touchy subject.» She muttered about having warned her superiors or something.
«It’s fine.» You answered. «But I’d like to know what’s happening? Did I do something? Are teenage demons naturally afraid of humans? Aren’t demon supposed to make deals with humans?-»
Miss Advisor patted your head to make you shut up. She pinched her nose bridge with her second hand and used another to serve herself tea.
«It’s not your fault kid. It’s complicated to explain to a human.» The demon sipped from her mug that now said “physically speaking”. «Julian, do you know why demons make pacts with humans? What’s in it for them?»
«Oh I- I guess I never really thought about it…»
«You must have heard stories, stereotypes, at least. Like the 10 years contract for your soul, this one’s especially popular, or anything you want in exchange of your first born, didn’t you?»
You shifted in your seat, embarrassed.
«Oh don’t worry, they’re true.» She announced like it was the most common thing ever, which probably was –to them.
Advisor poured tea in her mug a second time before reluctantly continuing.
«Good Luci, why did I signed up for this job- Anyway, Let’s get over with that part!»
She inhaled deeply once again and when you thought she was about to release another flood of profanities she bluntly stated,
«Demons think humans are cute.»
«Well most of them anyway.» She added.
«Wh-» You tried again «Okay, what ?»
«Older demons prefer to ask for a baby, like a pet or a child, depend of the demon. Younger demons on the other hand tend to make a 10 years contract to obtain a sexual partner.»
«So you’re saying that my classmates-»
«They run away because they’re sexually confused morons, yes.» She let out a sigh like her soul had left her body. «Don’t worry, underage demons aren’t allowed to make deals so you’re pretty safe.»
Miss Advisor got out of her seat and went open the door. You stood up too.
«So, what- what am I supposed to do?» You asked completely disarmed.
She pushed you out of the office with her left arms.
«I don’t know, teenage shit? Now go you’ll be late for next period.» Miss Advisor closed the door and got back to her teapot.
