Reincarnated as a Failed Villain: Fallen Angel

The next day, Lucas went to school early; he didn't want Sarah to come to walk him to school. The moment he arrived at the school, a group of boys ran up and called out, "Hey, loser!" He ignored them as he walked past them toward the front door.

Lilith was there to meet him, wearing her uniform. She frowned when she saw him walking alone towards the front doors. "You didn't wait for Sarah?"

"..." Lucas, still angry about yesterday's argument, walked past her without saying a word.

"You act so maturely for a guy who kept calling me and Sarah childish." Lilith rolled her eyes as she followed Lucas into the school building.

Lucas ignored her comment and headed off toward his classroom. Lilith walked along silently behind him until they reached the second floor where the classrooms were located. He opened the door to room 201 and stepped inside.

As always, the class was silent and empty except for him. He walked over to the desk closest to the door and sat down. A moment later, he heard the door open again, and Lilith entered the room.

She closed the door behind her. "Speak to me, you jerk!" she hissed. "And stop running away! "

He glared at her angrily. "I will not talk to you about that deal!" Lucas jumped out of his seat and slammed the table with his hands. He quickly covered his mouth as he realized that the other students were staring at him and gossiping amongst themselves.

"What's his deal?"

"Did something happen between those three?"

"Could it be a love triangle?"

"I bet Lucas cheated on Sarah with Lilith."

"Quite the contrary. I bet he cheated on Lilith with Sarah."

"I heard he was dating them both at once."

Lilith listened to the classmate's gossip for another minute and yelled. "SHUT UP!" She turned around, glaring at her classmates. "Why don't you go gossiping about someone else? Or better yet, why don't you speak shit about yourselves?!"

Classmates awkwardly looked away from Lilith. Some even tried to cover their mouths with their hands to avoid being heard.

Lucas watched Lilith's outburst with wide eyes. He could hear whispers coming through the walls as even more students started to arrive. Among the last few students to enter the classroom was Sarah.

She walked towards Lucas and waved her hand. "Hey..." Sarah awkwardly greeted him.

"Hey..." Lucas awkwardly said and waved his hand back at her. "Wanna sit down?" Lucas asked her, gesturing at an empty seat beside him.

"I would love to." Sarah smiled and took the chair.

Lucas wanted to apologize and explain himself to her. 'There is no reason to worry about me. Dammit!' However, Lucas wasn't sure how, to begin with. In a situation like that, he didn't feel like he did anything wrong. He also didn't want to tell Lilith, because there was nothing she could do in that situation, anyway. Lilith showed his tongue as Lucas took a glance at her.

Sarah noticed the tension between Lilith and Lucas. "So... I assume you two are still fighting??"

Lucas sighed. "It's not my fault." Lucas turned back to Lilith and showed her tongue as well.

Sarah shook her head. "Oh, come on." She leaned forward. "Why are you two acting like children?

"NO, WE DON'T!" Lilith and Lucas answered in unison. Lilith was carefully listening to the conversation.

Both Lucas and Sarah gazed at Lilith, who hid her blushed face after being found out.

"Hey, Lilith. " Sarah stood up and walked towards her. "How are you doing today?"

Lilith raised her brows a little confused, as she assumed that Sarah would use this as a chance to hog all Lucas's attention to herself. However, Sarah continued speaking. "I have been meaning to ask you something for a while now..."

"Go ahead." Lilith gave Sarah a nod and sat back down.

Sarah smiled gently, then she leaned closer to Lilith and whispered. "We planned to go to your home today."

Lilith's jaw dropped. She looked at Sarah in disbelief. "Seriously? Do you see how he is behaving?" she pointed her finger at Lucas. "There is no way he would want to go with us."

"Come on... He doesn't know any better." Sarah sighed. "You know he never had friends before," Sarah answered in a sad tone. She gazed at Lucas and sighed. "Please forgive him?"

Lilith gazed at Lucas and sighed. She whispered into Sarah's ear"Jeez. If we forgive him, he will continue to act recklessly. Do you have any idea what a deal between a demon and a person is?"

"T-That's... I don't..." Sarah replied and bit her lip in anxiety.

"After a demon and a person make a deal, both parties must finish their pact's conditions. Otherwise, they will die." Lilith explained. "That includes the demon, of course. The pact would remove even them from the face of the Lightburn,"

"Huh? I-Is that true?" Sarah exclaimed out loud as she slammed the table in shock.

"Yes, but lower your voice." Lilith lowered her voice, looking around the classroom nervously. "Don't you get it? Lucas signed a death certificate; if he doesn't fulfill his part of the deal, he is a goner. "

"How can we stop this from happening?" Sarah's eyes opened wide in terror. "Y-You should have told me this sooner!"

"I or my father might help him. My dad is pretty powerful... Figure... In Lightburn." Lilith sighed as she picked up the pen lying on the table. "Anyway, to fix that, I need to know what kind of deal the two of them made."

Lucas listened to the entire situation and realized that this entire time, Lilith was trying to protect him. 'Humpf. Who needs your protection!' Lucas muttered so quietly, that despite Lilith's enhanced hearing, she didn't. Lucas stood up and walked towards the two girls. He came closer to the two girls and said.

"Don't worry, my part of the deal was finished on the same day I made it." Lucas scratched the back of his head awkwardly. He wanted to apologize for acting as a jerk when Lilith was worried about him, but he couldn't find the necessary words.
