“That’s because they’re too afraid to ask me, because they’ll know I’ll reject them, on the fucking spot. I could care less about some stupid high school dance. It’s a waste of time anyway.” Shimmer said casually, buffing her nails on her coat. “Just a bunch of sweaty kids packed in a gym, thinking they love and care about one another.”
“Love is more than that! It’s.. um..” Carrie shook her head and looked away from her. “Someone as hateful as you could never know. You’re letting the devil use you. N… Now go away – I wanna be alone right now.”
“Well, maybe I do know. Maybe I have a special someone in my life who’s just as bad as I am.” Shimmer circled Carrie now, like a shark who smelled blood. “As for me letting the devil use me… well, you’re not wrong. I made a deal with her once, and she’s kept her end. Kinda worth selling my soul.~”
Of course, this wasn’t true at all, but she wasn’t about to tell Carrie of all people the truth of her nature.
