Cursed

Part 1

 Evan’s P.O.V

“Are you sure you wanna do this Ev?”

Logan stood by the side of the train line. Ropes in hand.

“How many times do I have to tell you. Yes I’m sure. Now hurry, tie me up before the train comes” I sighed.

Logan shrugged and in one effortless sweep of his hand I was tied down to the train lines. I looked up at my best friend with a smile.

“You know it’s not going to work.” he stated.

“It’s worth a try.”           

“Yeah. I guess so”

Logan slowly stood up and walked back to the side of the tracks.

“I still don’t know why you’re going through with this. Ev. Life here on earth isn’t too bad. It’s just going to make you depressed again.”

I said nothing and looked into Logan’s pitch black eyes. They were plain and emotionless as if he knew I wouldn’t be able to do it. But he’s wrong. I will do this. I will die. I will free myself from the curse that has been brought upon me. Somehow, I will.

Logan looked at his watch,

“Almost time. Only one more minute until the train comes.”

“Okay. Quick, hide behind that bush so that they don’t see you and suddenly stop.” Logan nodded and jumped behind the nearest bush, just as the train started to appear on the horizon.

“Good luck Ev.”

I gave Logan one last smile before the train managed to round the bend. It was picking up speed now. There was no way it could stop in time. It just had to hit me. I looked up at the sky above me as the whirring sound of the train filled my ears.

“Goodbye cruel world” I thought.

And then,

It hit me.

Calista’s P.O.V

“No”

“Please?”

“I said NO Ken!”

McKenzie huffed and looked away from me. Her long brown hair covered her face as she started groaning.

“But you know I can’t do it! I’d be way too embarrassed. Besides. If he says no which he will, I don’t want to have to see his face.”

I grunted, annoyed,

“Well if you know he’s going to say no why bother asking.”

She whipped around. Her small face was turning red with anger,

“NOT HELPING!”

“Ugh. Fine!”

Kenzie’s face instantly brightened.

“Oh thank you! I’ll love you for, like, ever!”

“Yeah, yeah. Lets just get this over and done with”

Slowly I made my way towards the back of the classroom where Matt was sitting with his group of friends. Suddenly, I became very aware of how plain and freakishly tall I was. Also how dark and messy my hair looked compared to his perfectly organized blonde locks. I gulped and slowed down my pace.

Was my hair okay?

Did my breath smell funny?

Oh man, what if I had spinach in my teeth?
