Kei is about to sit down on the chair on a long table provided by the school library to read on the empty seat on the side.
There are obviously other students from the other side of the long table who are reading but the moment he sat down they all gather their things and leaves
Kei saw them as if running away.
He tilts his head but says nothing.
---
Kei is walking around the school campus while reading the paper given by the professor and as he walks people walks away warily looking at him.
Kei frowns when some girl's face pales when his eyes fall at her and she runs away as if her life depends on it.
Kei blinks.
---
Kei is a bit bored and walks around.
A man carrying lots of books bumps into Kei.
Kei tried to help him but the man slapped his hand and refused his help.
---
"That's right! There was an anonymous text message sent to the school body that said if they talk to you or even see you close to them, they will be bullied and harrassed the whole year. I don't care what other people say!" Girly angrily said.
Kei shakes his head.
"It is better for you to avoid me."
"Kei! We don't care. We are friends!" Arabelle said.
Kei shakes his head.
"We are not always taking the same lectures so I can't always be with you. Do you think you can handle being all alone? It's fine. I will handle this and things will be back to normal."
Michelle hugs Kei.
"If it became unbearable, tell us!"
Kei nods.
The other two hugs Kei.
It was so quiet.
Being shunned and avoided was truly something scary.
Nobody will ever be able to keep calm.
"Why are you glowing?" Tyrone asks.
Tyrone is not taking the same course with Kei so he is not aware that Kei is being pressured.
And Kei will never go and complain to him so it won't be impossible for Tyrone to know.
Kei smiles.
"Let's go to Uncle Travis. This Unluckiness of him is kinda useful."
Tyrone frowns.
"What do you mean? Yesterday, you got lost!"
"Let's go."
Tyrone sighs.
"Okay. But I already asked a master to make an amulet for you. It will arrive for a week. I advise not seeing Uncle but....wow, this is the first time you are so eager to come to my house!"
Tyrone throws away all his worry and just be extremely happy that Kei is taking initiative.
Kei laughs.
Candy, the HSC president laughs looking at Kei's lonely appearance in the photos.
"This guy is so weak." The other laughs.
Candy sweetly grins.
"Let's be cautious. Lots of professor are taking good care of him after what happened but professors can't always interfere."
"Yes we know." They said with a huge grin.
***
"They are avoiding you?" Travis frowns.
He wonders if it's about what he did with those people that hurts Kei but it seems not related.
Tyrone is so angry.
He clenched his fist.
As if he knows who is behind it.
Kei is actually very carefree.
He is glad that people he doesn't care avoids him.
It's a bit lonely but from the start, Kei only talked with the 3 girls and not the other students.
They tried talking to him and invited him here and there but he refused.
Travis looks at Kei.
Seeing that he is really not bothered, he doesn't plan to interfere.
"About the curse...."
Kei looks at him.
"How does the curse work?" He asks.
Because if it's just having connections with Travis and you will be cursed then Astrid's family will be isolated however powerful they are.
"I am not sure. But it's often about my personal things being touched or stolen." Travis said.
"Ah." Kei nods.
"Did you touch or steal my Uncle's things?" Tyrone asks, confused.
Kei smiles and points at Tyrone.
Tyrone tilts his head.
"What about me?"
Kei smiles.
"You gave me his calling card."
Travis glares at Tyrone.
"What? That thing, I told you to throw it away."
Tyrone trembles.
"I....I...."
How can he throw his Uncle's calling card? It was hidden in his wallet.
"Oh...That....I thought it is my own calling card..." Travis curse will not affect blood relatives but it is very fatal to others.
After figuring it out.
Travis collected all his calling cards and set them on fire.
His small nephew likes his calling card and wants to keep one. Since it is not going to affect him, they gave him one.
Tyrone is pale.
He is sweating.
Having/ possessing an item with his Uncle's name.....How can Kei still be alive?
Kei blinks.
"I won't give it back."
"That is very dangerous! Just give it back." Travis angrily wants to get down from his bed to shake Kei but Kei is unmoving.
Tyrone made him steady and pats his back.
"Relax Uncle. Don't get mad."
Travis coughs violently then takes a deep breath.
"You.....Just give it back."
Kei blinks.
"I read that curse can only be broken when it was activated."
Tyrone and Travis flinched.
Kei smiles.
"Since it is activated while it's on me. You can find a way to subdue it?"
"The risk is too high!" Travis angrily shouted.
Tyrone supports him.
Kei pouts.
"I wonder why you never tried."
Tyrone's face looked evasive.
Kei smiles.
"Hoh."
He knows that a large family that has a deep connection from sorcery and curses can't actually be a soft hearted people.
Of course they tried.
They tried and it seems not very helpful.
And even if they don't care about their test subjects dying....The backlash of their dead test subjects will all go back and haunt Travis.
So the experimentation can't be too bold.
Kei smiles.
"To be honest, I always think that I am unlucky. But my classmates call me the Prince of Luck."
Tyrone knows.
He researched Kei from top to bottom.
He knows that Kei hates this Prince of Luck title.
It is not like he won a lottery.
It is not like his life is full of happiness.
But his classmates always claim that he is a Prince of Luck.
"Actually, Why?" Tyrone research is just the superficial information.
Not that he would actually dig all the nook and cranny about Kei or that would really make him a 100%, unredeemed pervert stalker.
He knows he was Prince of Luck and not planning to know deeper.
Also because in his opinion, Kei is really a Prince of Luck, but can't pinpoint why.
Kei snorts and looks away.
"I don't want to talk about it. Anyways, try to break the curse, I will be fine."
He will help but he can't be too involved, he thought.
But being the test subject and letting his life on the line.
Travis knows what kind of existence Kei will end up in his life if he got cured.
His heart is unwilling to hurt this man.
But his heart also wants to believe that if he agreed, Kei, this person, will be the key to help him.
"You will be unlucky for the next few days..... and it can be fatal." Travis still wants to persuade Kei.
Kei just dismisses him with a snort.
After a while, Travis told them he was tired and asked them to go out.
Tyrone is still in a mess.
He is torn between his Uncle's life and his best friend.
"Kei, there are other people who can be test subjects....You are very precious to me."
Kei jokingly slaps his face to the left and right.
Then he laughs.
"Do not believe in the Prince of Luck?"
Tyrone frowns.
"How are you prince of luck anyways? You said you are unlucky all the time."
Kei flinched.
"I won't tell. I think it is stupid."
He pouts.
"Hmm.."
A/N:
Do you know why his classmates call him the prince of luck without reading the short theather after this?
^_^
Tyrone : Why is he called Prince of Luck?
He is not exactly a lucky guy.
But I can't help believe it too.
I am so confuse.
Hero : Kei is a very irritating guy.
But surprisingly, out of 10 people he irritates 8 of them likes him a lot.
And even when he is calling everyone stupid, everyone feels that he is just doing his best to correct others and because he is not a snob,he is a very charming guy and got all the girls attention without any effort.
That is why all the men in school called him Prince of Luck.
This b*stard is so lucky and irritating and we all love him^_^
Also he is very friendly if you just filter all his vulgar foul mouthed words.
Also he has a lot of title like Mr.Popular and Prince Charming.
Hahaha.
