Cursed: Red Velvet

-Chen

A lot of things happened ever since I stopped talking. I never really realized that. But a lot of things did happen. However, that is indeed not my fault. Nothing is really my fault. Maybe it is, but I’m not seeing it that way. It’s kind of funny. This is actually the worst story ever to be told. Let me start from the beginning. I make the best storyteller in the world. You know why? Because I begin from end to beginning. That makes it more interesting. It prevents us from finding out about major spoilers. So let’s begin at the end.

It was only Mr. Byun and I right now. I could tell you a hundred reasons for going with him. Maybe I wanted to live longer, maybe I trusted a teacher, maybe I just did whatever the hell I wanted to. Those things are cleverly not the case. I went with Mr. Byun because he is the protagonist of the story and it is my job, to convey the story as he would be the last to hear. So here we were, I pretended to be listening to his crap, while silently waiting for it to happen. He was telling me a bunch of stories about his family and other things that did not interest me.

That is a thing most humans do. When they’re about to die, they just try to convince themselves that they were indeed once human and did exist. I’m not sure whether I was really real, whether this is real. I do know that this is actually happening, in reality or not. So Mr. Byun kept bringing up stories about his childhood and why he wanted to be a teacher. Too bad for him that Mr. Kim fell ill. He was supposed to substitute him. Mr. Byun was never supposed to be there. Poor soul. So that’s the current situation. Well, not entirely. There is still one thing left to come. The final end. But that’s not for now. Let’s move a step backwards. Let’s talk about the characters and their development.

First we have the protagonist of the story. I choose him, because  he was really the blame. However, because he fell ill and therefore wasn’t in school and didn’t have the role as our teacher, Mr. Byun had to take his place. So no Mr. Kim. Which means that this story has no real protagonist. That makes me kind of sad. How can I explain things the right way? Who did evolve the most? Would that be the main character?

Okay, then Yuri probably is the one I need to talk about. What a girl. Raised the wrong way and desperately searching for approval by doing the wrong things. She tormented all of us. Bullied, pestered and terrorized everyone till the bone. Frankly, I didn’t care for her at all. She did change and all of that. She did realize that she was at fault and that whatever she did to all of us, it was evil and wrong. She saved me from Xiumin, the antagonist.

Really, this isn’t a real complicated tale. I’m just letting out some parts, because I want it to be perfect, the twist.

Our school had always been a great one. You couldn’t really speak of bullies and whatnot. There is another school in our district with that bad reputation. My parents sent me here, hoping that I would talk soon enough, if I felt better about myself. They didn’t understand that I could talk whenever I wanted. I just didn’t want to.

Until our senior year. They
