Chapter 1: cursed

As I walked down the hallway, I heard mutters from far away and I wondered who it could be and why anyone would be here alone,. As soon as I moved closer to the voice, I could hear her words clearly and fast, she sobbed as she spoke "why am I so cursed?, Why can't I seem to do things right?, Why does the world hate me so much?, Why do I miss it in everything?, Why can't I look just as beautiful as others or be seen as equal to them, why on earth was I brought to this earth in the first place!!?, I curse the day I was brought to earth!!!!", Her words came straight and direct, I was baffled on hearing her say that, why would anyone question herself about that, I always thought everyone saw it wonderful being on earth, I felt pulled to question her and didn't realize when my hands worked faster than my mind did. " Hey pretty", my lips moved as fast as it could; after waiting so long for a reply, I tapped her gently for attention,l. Just before I could utter a word, her words came faster than ever, " what have you come for?, Oh I see, you came to mock me just like everyone do, well you can; stare at me all you want and leave!", She turned her face directly at me, making me freeze for seconds, it seemed like I was in a dream cause this couldn't be possible, how would anyone look....?, I couldn't even put it in words. Sheeee had blue eyes, fine; green hair😨, deep grey eyelashes 😥, pink lips🤗😋, and pink eyelashes 🧐😢. All I could do was stare dogmatically, she was absolutely beautiful though her features was mind blowing,I was finally withdrawn from my thoughts by her direct words. " Satisfied!?, Now you may leave" she said pointing outside and bursting into tears immediately, bowing her head, her green hair fell on me as I moved close to her, she unconsciously leaned on my shoulder, sobbing abruptly her tears streamed down my arms slowly as she sobbed, "it's okay pretty everything's gonna be alright", saying that made her stop for a while, she stared at me with a questioning look, "what!" She muttered quietly, loosing herself free from my arms " oh amm arrr sorry, I...", It's fine, let's take a walk. "Walk?" She repeated sighing softly. " Sorry for the inconvenience, I'll leave now" she said attempting to leave, I pulled her back towards me " it doesn't seem like am kidding" I informed her, gazing at her eye without drawing back.she released her hands with force, a loud sigh came from her" and what rights do you have to do that" she questioned with anger " and what rights to you have to lean on my shoulder, as you can see my clothes got what all because of your tears ah" I returned, she moved her hair towards the back to see clearly. " You must be kidding, I didn't ask your comfort" and I didn't beg for you to lean either, I broke her courage for a moment. " Jeez, what the duck is this, I came here just to let my worries slide for a moment and someone's here adding to my terrifying li...", Just as she was about to end her speech, I shut her mouth with my finger, talking back at her," not another word from you, let's just assume you're repaying my favor by fulfilling my wish this evening, just as she was about to utter another word, I shut her up immediately, deals's deal tonight girl just play along and everything's gonna go smooth for us both. I smirked as I held her hand, aiming at the exit. After a long silent walk, we stopped at one of the school closest cafeteria from the hallway, we had our seats and stared at the silence as no one was there with the exception of us. I asked what she would love and as I expected she said nothing " hey, I'm pretty sure you haven't had dinner with a friend before so stop putting on act and adhere, remember you're to listen to me tonight. I ended " you must be insane", she said sighing. " Well I guess I am , so you had better listen", I said making myself understood. "As I said earlier am not taking a dime from you, just get your stupid self satisfied and let's leave this a hell meeting", she said hitting the table loudly. " Point of correction date not meeting" I smirked. " What's with this fool, you didn't get an approval for a date or whatever you forced me out just for a mere favor you did and an end would soon come to that", she said in her loudest voice." I'm the one to dictate the event so it is what I say it is", I made myself clear. "Fine, eat up and let's leave pls, am frustrated enough to have myself face this, just hurry and satisfy yourself!" She said, almost bursting into tears. I held her hand and apologized. Am sorry you caused it all, you played so hard to get that I had to do the same, I hoped to cheer you up and not cause you more pain, I'm sorry if I made you cry. Your sobbing voice called my attention and nothing more, trust me I didn't come to mock you. Pls forgive me if I made this your worst night ever and I promise am ready to face any punishment you give as a revenge", I paused for a reply. All she did was stare at me and afterwards bursting into another round of tears, she rested on my shoulder and cried. "Why?, Why, why are you acting so nice, stop your act and tell me the truth, tell me the truth like others do, tell me and weird, ugly, stupid, frustrating, and a curse, tell me that and I'll be fine with it, just tell me", she sobbed hitting my chest hardly, " am pretty sure I'll dye soon" " what!", She stopped looking at me." Yes of course, you kept hitting my chest like it was your punching bag", I teased. " I'm sorry", she replied. " It's fine, you can hit it all you want I'm fine with that, I said, holding her hands and hitting my chest with her hand hardly, " oh common stop that", she pulled her hands backwards. " Are we even?", I asked " I'm sorry I don't make friends", she replied. "Well let me be your first", I proposed. "You must be a joker", she laughed,and continued. being friends with me would only cost you pains" she sighed. "And am ready to face all", I affirmed. " Why must I have met a joker today of all days", she stated. " Well I don't care if you see me as a joke, all I know is I'm serious cause I have no friends either" I reported. " Really?", She asked baffled😦, " yeah, I'm for real " I replied. " I guess we're friends then☺️,", she stated smiling with I guess the energy she had left, we shaked hands and finally released after a long gaze "she's really just too pretty, I said inside of me. We ordered two cups of coffee as it was cold and talked about sorts. She told me her best color which was magenta and I told her mine which was blue, we talked about our best foods, horrible ones, outing preference, lonely experience and lots more, after seeing how free our conversation was going, I decided to ask her if how or why or if something must have caused her looking the way she looked, though she was pretty, her personal features were heart freezing. Silence filled the air as I asked, I regretted asking as it would only flush back bad memories. There was nothing I could do but watch and wait for what could possibly break the silence. Moments after, she finally summoned courage to speak, heaving a loud sigh. Well, she started "it's a very long story but I'll try my best to summarize.not being born to this world yet, my father died before he could even take a glance at me. My pregnant mother barely bearing me for three months found it hard living alone as she was so used to my dad's company , she decided to take her life but destiny didn't permit as all were to no avail. She took all sorts of chemical to stop her and her child's life but all went futile. after series of attempt, she was advised to put to bed before any attempt to end her life as it could cause her long term pain without death. Unknowingly to her, she had only made life though for me as I was given birth to looking like a monster as the world consider me. All operation was made to change me but all went wasted as it only deteriorated making my hair extraordinary long and green,to worsen it, it mustn't even be cut as if any attempt it would only grow longer.... I repeat I cur....", I didn't make her complete her statement as I knew it were only bad comments " I see you as a rare gem and nothing else, to me you're unique as no one can ever frame your identity and consider yourself gifted, if I were you I'd only be thankful I survived and didn't fall as the world pleases." I finally ended my long verse and stated along, " when you're called weird tell them you're nothing but unique, I'll end it there" I stated. After a long silence she finally said "thanks very much new friend, I'll get going now, my mum must be waiting". As she stood up to go, unknowingly to her a part of her drink spilled on the floor, making her to slip, faster than I imagined I caught her, making her lie freely on my arms, with her hands on my wrapped round my neck, I didn't realize my lips moving close to her forehead, I pecked her slightly as she immediately loosed free "sorry" she apologized. " I'm also sorry for...", It's fine", she replied. I settled the bills and we left, holding hands. Seeing how tired she was, I decided drive her home, she disagreed but after lots of plea she gave up, it was a long silent ride before reaching her house. I dropped her off and waved zooming off immediately with speed.....well I forgot to introduce myself I'm Cyril,... You'll find out later.
