What Irks the Devil

"Honey… are you sure we don't need to invite your classmates?"

"I won't. But if you ever did, I would mind it."

The couple exchanged glances over their daughter's reply and worriedly whispered to each other. It was the night of their daughter's birthday and her father personally fetched her with hopes to invite his daughter's friends. But to his surprise, her daughter had no one as her friend and went back to their house with her.

The kid who had her hair tied in a ponytail eyed a plate full of candy on their table. It lit up with stars and gulped to somehow hold her desire back. A woman chuckled from her behind and later on, that woman knelt and looked at her with a smile of mischief. "Look how lonely this girl is." She commented mockingly.
