The Cursed Child
“Kim, hurry, you need to see this” A nerdy looking student said to Kim who was sitting alone in a messy building. The building was covered with overgrown weeds and the entire environment looked gloomy. It was the old school building of Vernon's high school.
The school was popularly known for its famous architectural designs, and its towering height, but it was abandoned due to the many cases of high school students committing suicide due to bully.
Rumors began to circulate that the dead souls of those high school students' spirits are roaming around the building. Since then, the building was shut down, sealed in dust, but now, a student is seen there, cuddled in a ball.
At a first glance, he looked malnourished with a gloomy air surrounding him, but one could clearly see on his hand, some visage that could evoke the envy of elf and demons.
The entire scene looked off no matter it's looked at. “I'm coming” the boy stood up as he walked out slowly. Seeing Bradon, the kid who called out to him with a loud voice, Kim was so amused. He was so scary and disgusting that he was being treated like a virus everyone needed to keep their distance from.
After walking for 15 minutes, he finally arrived at the entrance of the Majestic Vernon's High School building. He was a student of the school, but the number of times he set foot into the school could be counted within a twinkling of an eye.
Looking at the once familiar building, Kim felt a pang of pain in his heart, Once he stood in front of this building, full of hope and joy, thinking he could finally leave his sad past and start a new life.
But he thought wrong. Turns out life wasn't done playing with him.
“ Whoa, that's so beautiful, Mira is such a lucky girl, I wish I was in her place”
“ Humph, you are not any better, you fat slug of flesh!”
“Whatever that Mira is a lucky bitch, how did she manage to catch Miller's attention? She's not even pretty. Have you seen how much makeup she wears?” The voices of some girls gossiping in a distance interrupted Kim's melancholic moment.
“Mira?, what happened to Mira” Kim asked as he grabbed the shoulder of one of the girls.
“Let go of me, you cursed bastard! Let me go before your bad omen rubs on me” the fat girl screamed as she pushed Kim away from her.
Her voice attracted the attention of the crowd up ahead as they turned their eyes to the scene. At the forefront of the crowd stood a dazzling young man, donned in a white elegant suit, his elegant dressing perfectly complimented his deep western features and by his side, stood a glamorous lady in red.
Her carefully styled make - up and hairdo perfectly enhanced her face and hid the fact that her face had gotten some work done.
All in all, they looked like a dream couple. The crowd parted to give them space as they stepped towards Kim.
“Mira, how could you be with Miller, weren't you always enemies with him? Kim said in a cracked voice. Mira has always been the person who stood up for him whenever he was bullied.
She gave him attention and care, but now she's with Miller and had a beautiful smile on her face. Kim doesn't even need a soothsayer to know that Mira and Miller are in a relationship.
"Hahaha, you guys are in this together, for what? What have you derived from humiliating me and making me feel this way?” Kim smirked.
“Gain! I gained a lot, Kim, you are bad luck, you should know that, for you to get into the prestigious Veron high school ------ me a lot, you don't deserve to be in the same breathing space with me.
To see you survive the bully pissed me off, so I thought to give up hope and then cruelly take it away from you. Words alone cannot express how happy I am seeing you hurt. It's so refreshing, vicious words came from the elegant youth.
“Seriously, Kim, I can't believe you fell for such a lousy prank, how did you think I care about you, how did you think I will care about you, a cursed bastard who killed his own mother?”
“Shut Up! Shut up! Mira you can humiliate me but don't you ever bring up my Aunt Eunice, you don't dare say her name!
BAAM! BAAM! BAAM!
Punches and kicks rained down heavily on Kim he is once again assaulted by Miller's gang, Kim is beaten until he almost lost consciousness.
“Trash. How dare you talk back to Mira, you deserve every bit of what you are getting” The scornful voices of the students landed on Kim's ears as they all walked away.
Kim was left in pains right there until noon, the students all passed by scoffing at him while the teachers walked past him without a single feeling of pity for him. To them, he was a bad omen who needed to be destroyed.
As the afternoon glow recedes slowly, the cold air of the evening blows forth, after what seemed like an eternity, Kim is whisked back to his abandoned school building by the security guards.
Kim sneers at the gesture, he knows that Miller's purposely left him to dry out in the sun to torture him the more; the guards are only helping him because they were protecting the image of the school and issues like this can mar the school name.
The high school graduation was the next day, and reporters and newscasters will soon be trooping in.
Kim sighs in frustration, with each movement he could feel his body falling apart like a house of cards, he urgently needed treatment but no one cared. No one except for that one lady, Kim thought as he dived back into the sea of memories.
The Bad Omen Kim was born to wealthy parents but was proclaimed a bad omen. Having passed through a series of setbacks, his parents, too proud to blame themselves for their incompetence, accused him of being cursed and abandoned him. They took in Miller, a lucky star that was born the same day his was born, by an unknown lady at the same hospital.The head Nurse, Eunice Sanchas, could not accept the prediction that the boy was caused, so she took him in and nursed him like her own. Eunice was severely suppressed by the Larkens when they found out she took him in. Rumors of Kim being a bad omen circulated round the hospital, and Eunice lost her job in the process.Eunice never left Kim for once, they were living happily with the little she's got. His world came crashing when he clocked 5.The Larkens figured Kim would be traced back to them in the nearest future, due to his resemblance to Vera, so they made arrangements to kidnap Kim and toss him to Af

Discovery The 18-year-old ran to embrace an old man, while complaining. “Enough Arston, I will ask the ancestor”. The old man replied as he took a secret tunnel right below the cellar. As he opened it, a dark aura burst forth, that pushed the old man to his knees. “Ancestor, please, mercy,” the old man pleaded as he choked from the pressure of the aura. “I gave you one job, one job! Find a way to seal the dragon's luck, but what did you do, you failed me, you couldn't even do a simple job. Give me one reason I should not end your miserable life right now”. A hoarse voice that sounded like that of a demon sounded.“I…I…I can't even explain what happened, the seal was clearly fine and strong, suddenly it was cut off by some mysterious force that bears similarity to you” The old man stammered.“some similar force you say, hahaha, I should have expected it, they sent a system, didn't they?

The Graduation What good manners were they expecting the students to learn about from Brown-nosing and bullying due to status?Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the 53rd graduation of Veron High School, the announcer said in a booming voice amidst the cheers of parents and teachers alike. “To begin we will like our school prince and belle to kick-start the ceremony with an opening dance.” the announcer announced as he introduced Miller and Mira, the stage light fell on them and the light in other places dim making them seem like angels. Miller was donned in a European style three-piece suit, with His black slick hair, carefully combed back, he looked like a successful career man, while Mira was donned in an off - shoulder black dress, that had a slit in the back giving it the shape of a fishtail, on our feet was champagne colored glass heels which accentuated perfectly our fear legs. It all looked perfect like the scene from a fairy tail, after the d
Meeting the SlatesHe's refreshing, I like him already, zero thought inwardly.Just then, Miller's voice floated over. “Kim, I know you are angry at everyone, right now, but you should not let your anger disrupt this ceremony, right now, the entire scene is a mess because of you, there are several Media outlets outside, things will get ugly for the school if you cause such a ruckus. To top it all off, Kim you were mistaken you try to rape Aria in front of thousands of students if not for a quick wit, her reputation would have been tarnished.” Miller remarks somewhat sorrowfully as he squeezes some tear drops out of his eyes, which he cleaned almost immediately with the help of Mira's handkerchief.Kim was utterly dumbfounded, “wow! I realized that I underestimated Miller, Miller is such a good actor, I almost fell for his scam, zero. Kim told Zero, shocked.[you almost fell? I completely fell for it, I was just about to ask how come you have such a heavy tas
ShockSilence descended as the men gawked at the lady with lid in their eyes and the man with envy.“And who are you?” Vera spoke through gritted teeth. She harbored extreme dislike for the woman she just met for some strange reason, as if the woman stole something precious from her.“Also, the guts of the woman to question her also made her hate the lady, the beauty of the lady that made her look like an overdressed peacock in front of the woman. She didn't just like the lady”“Me! I am Shantel slate and I am Kim's mother” Shantel replied with pride in her voice. She had been searching for over seventeen years for Kim, and now she found him being bullied by a group of adult thugs. She was incensed.“Putchi, hahaha ha, this is hilarious, Kim you have really put in great effort haven't you?''“This crazy mission of yours is really first class, first, you fabricated the transfer agreement, now you paid off some good-looking low-budget actors to pass
Sign in “And what if we do? You can't force us to kneel” a hot-tempered parent screamed.“Whatever you owe my son, you will pay, I advise you to kowtow now, or you will lose a fortune and still kowtow. The choice is yours, “Shantel who has been silently nodding her head at her son's tactics said coldly.“Whatever, I don't believe that Kim alone will cause any harm to all of us here, “the same parents echoed as they departed.“Let's go, Kim, your siblings are all eager to see you”“You will get that kowtow Kim, I will make sure of it," Jayce said from the side.“It's okay, you don't have to use a sledgehammer to crack a nut, I will handle it my way” Kim said in reply “Wait!!!
