Personal evil of mine

Once upon a time, she always wished she would have that kind of classical meet cute. 

Wearing her best flowy dress to the bookstore, out of this world, and meet someone special. Having her fantasy. 

Until one day it happened. Magically. 

One summertime, when everything was just as perfect as she would pictured it would be, she wore her new dress and a high ponytail. 

At the poem section, where she found magic words. There he was, crossing the aisle.

He said, "Hey." With a silly smile. 

"Hey, you." She said back with her cutest dimple. "What are you doing here?"

"I'm looking for a pen." He said. 

"Really? For who?" She said it while staring at him. She looked over his shoulder to find anybody with him.

"Just for a present." He said. 

So she just nodded. Thinking the conversation would be over soon and he would leave her with her books alone. 

There wasn't any spark between them at the beginning. 

She knew he was way out of her league. It's like reaching for the star. So she stays quiet and smiles. 

But he still stood there and said "Hey, I heard there's a new cafe in town. Do you wanna go together?"

"Are you asking me out?" She chuckled. 

"I guess."

"Can I let you know later?"

"Sure, I'll call you later."

And then he left and gave her the cutest crooked smile she would remember for her entire life. 

The same smile that lit up her world for years. Yet, dim her light. 

The same smile that she would happily see for the rest of her life. Also broke her nearly to death. 

Little did she know, that same smile was becoming a thorn in her flesh. 

Little did she know, that pen is just an excuse for him to darken her world and turn into evil.

And, once upon a time, the evil was her favorite thing in the world.

They could've had their happy ending at the end of the story. 

Unfortunately, they didn't.

And yet, she survived. 

Because for her, evil is just live spelled backward.
