Devil in an Elevator By: Abigail Mower

"Abigaaaail!" She would not be quite! I have never laid eyes on anyone more annoying. She was rude, idiotic, rambunctious, and absolute worst of all... She was the loudest person on the face of the Earth.

"Abbbbbbbbbiiiiiiiiiiggggggaaaaaiiiiilll?" I rolled over, to face away from my nightmare identified as Jadelyn. I was soon to be disappointed by the fact that turning over did not drown out the nosies of that mouth breather. "Abbbigail, Abbbigail, I farted." Four words and a part of me died. This included my sense of smell. "Jadelyn, shut up!" I am so disgusted by my roommate. How could anyone be so stupid?

I woke up the next morning to Jadelyn, jumping and yelping around the room like the town fool. I had three more days of this and I didn't know if I would be able to maintain my sanity. Luckily, Haliee kept me safe. Haliee was stunning. She had an exuberant personality and was so bubbly and bright. I loved her. She made a week with Jadelyn worth it. "Abigail, are you okay?" Haliee read me like a book, and not like a dictionary like most people, to her I was a joke book. She knew who I really was. So, for the next three hours Haliee and I went around campus taking pictures and goofing off. After we got a snack we started to make our way to the elevator. The old crapy elevator was terrifying and made my heart want to stop. We had been walking all day so we were going to take it anyways.

Thats when we saw the devil. Jadelyn was strutting towards us. All of us herded into the elevator. Immediately Jadelyn began jumping. "Stop it!" I hated this elevator so much and she was only making it worse. But, I hated it even more when the elevator door opened to another door.

Haliee was screaming, Jadelyn was crying, and I was too terrified to speak. "Is it because I jumped?" I heard her say between gasps of breath. Could it have been? Could her stupidity really bring this? I stepped between the elevator and the door when Haliee proclaimed that she had an idea. She pressed the button to the second floor. I was left stuck between the door and the elevator. I heard Haliee abandon me and run to the room of the other girls, but I only heard her. A minute later the elevator door opened. Jadelyn stood there and engulfed me in a hug. "Abigail, did we even try to turn the handle?" The door swung open to the bright light of natural sunshine through the windows.

For almost an entier week I was walking with my eyes closed. I had made the decision to not accept the friendship Jadelyn because I thought she was weird (I know, me thinking someone was too weird is extremely funny). Every time I talk to her I regret how I treated her. I almost lost one of the greatest friends I have ever had. And I am tickled pink that the door was messed up. Now, I have a wonderful friend named Jadelyn. She was my angle when I was locked in an elevator. That is when my perspective changed.
