"Curse you, i'll curse you."

A low yet sadistic voice could be heard from my right I stopped walking and furrowed my my eyebrows at the weird boy my age, with nails in his mouth while he hammered a voodoo doll to a tree. He kept on muttering to himself so I paid no mind and continued walking to where I live.

"Turn to page 69 and start working on what the page tells you." the teacher boredly explained and resumed back to sleeping. I scoffed and heard giggling to my side, i assumed he was giggling due to the number our teacher told us so I glared back a him.

"Hey Souichi! Stop being so childish and start working-" then he spit a needle to me, grazing my cheek in the process. I sighed to myself when I touched to feel a bit of blood coming down. Soucihi grinned when I glared a him, "What's with that stupid smirk you idiot." I bluntly told him.

His eyes turned darker than they already were and could sense that normal dark aura coming from him. "I'll curse you for that (Y/N)." he threatened.

"Ah...okay." I said shrugging my shoulders and getting back to work. "You're curses are fake after all." I ended up saying a while later and heard Souchi chuckle darkly.

"You have no idea who you're messing with, my curses are one hundred percent real. How do you explain our last teacher then?"

"From what I heard from you locked him up in your attic, made a doll made of hay to frea everyone out. So since I heard it from you, it's all fake. You've landed your curses on me supposedly and nothing has happened." I emotionless looked at his baggy eyes and saw him gulp.

"O-Of course they are real! Some just take a while." the messy dark haired boy kept telling me. I feel sorry that his family have to take care of him. I've always had to get him out of trouble, like the time he chased a classmate of ours into the woods dressed as a spider, had to call his older brother despite me enjoying him suffer when he desperately called my name when the owner of the property almost chopped him off.

Or the few times his cousin Michina has come to town and he's always creepy around her. Despite my cold and emotionless demeanor I would calm her down and tell her to just ignore him. I serial dont get why my parents decided to set us up for play dates when we were little, he used to freak me out when I was younger, once he said he would play hide and seek so he told me to hide inside a box..just recently did I remember it wasnt a box but a coffin.

Oh how I hate Souichi Tsujii.

I glare at his back when hands out his paperwork to the sleeping teacher. I see some girls mumbling to themselves when I catch them looking at me and the freak who's picking his nose. I grimace and begin doodling on my notebook. "Hey (Y/N) can we go to your house and finish our studies?" bored I stare at them and sense Souichi also looking.

"Our houses are pretty far and we have to finish this work today." one of the four in the group says. I know what they are playing.."Sure." i simply reply.

********************

"I wonder how her house is."

"Freaky like her I suppose."

"Keep that camera rolling no matter what."

I roll my eyes when I can hear them behind me but decide to say nothing. Si they decided to come just to see if I live in creepy place huh? "Shh what if she lives in a haunted house?"

"We're here." I stop in front of my regular sized home and saw their surprised faces.

 "Well you coming in?" slowly they followed me and they kept on recording. I placed some tea on the table and looked out to see Souichi hiding under some bushes. I groan and headed back to the kitchen to bring some food, but I heard the girl scream and they came running to where I was.

"That little jerk is in there!" they shrieked and Souichi came out of my closet.

"Mhm I was expecting him." I lie and Souchi smiled with his nails in his mouth. The girls shivered and began to shake. "You n-never told us he'd come."

I turn back and nodded, "I forgot..he came by so he could teach me one of his curses. I just needed your names and a few strands of hairs." the girls now annoyed looked at me. "What do you mean strands of hair?!" they shouted.

Souichi held up in his hands some hair he cut off them, they each shouted and one by one ran out the door. Souichi giggled and saved the hair in his pocket and rested a hand on my shoulder as we saw the girls running far ahead.

"We did teach them a lesson huh?" he said continuing to giggled and I glanced at him. "How did you even enter my house?"

"I have my ways (Y/N), so i'm not telling you."

I looked at him and felt that familiar sting in my stomach., his dark eyes kept on looking to where the girls ran. Souichi's hand still rested on my shoulder, i smirked a little and enjoyed his company.

*****************

"You're telling me to what?"

I ask Souichi if I heard him correctly. He holds the sides of his face and goes over to what he said, "I told you already to help me place a curse on that boy that made fun of me a few days back."

"So you want me as your partner in crime? No way. Just cause some pulled your pants down doesnt mean I have to be involved." I cross my arms and remembering blushing from that day, the guy he wants to curse is a year above us so I know Souichi will have a beating later. I can't believe i've been helping him on these things lately, i can just go home and sleep and think snout tormenting him the next day but he'll keep on bothering me if I refuse.

"Whatever i'll help."

"Great..problem is i don't have any more new curses to use on him. Too bad grandma died way back or she could've teached me a few." he says deep in thought remembering his late ass grandma who creepily resembled him. I shake that thought off and heard someone walking behind us.

"Food, I need food." a very old woman begged with s crooked smile a she held her hand out. No one would five her food or go near her..I wouldnt blame them though she's possibly even weirder than Souichi.

"You're name is Souichi right?"

"Huh? What's it to you granny?" unamused Souichi asked the woman who just called out to his name. "I heard your looking for a curse." to that his eyes lit up and smiled at the creepy woman.

"Yess yess give me that curse." he begged but the woman shook her head. "I will give it to you an exchange for something." I raised an eyebrow a how stupid Souichi could be. "Don't be stupid-"

"Anything! I'll give you anything old lady."

"You're the first people who have spoken to me since I arrived and has lived to see me." she is strange. "I won't ask for much just come cash for food and s single person I can place a curse on." without a word Souichi dug into my backpack and handed her some money, I was ready to punch him.

"Sure you can curse my older brother-"

"No one's cursing anyone." I intervened which caused a frown from both. The granny handed him a small spiral thing which he needed to give to the other boy,"You know i'm also a fortune teller."

"Yeah right keep dreaming granny." Souichi said paying his full attention on the object in his hands. "I'm not dreaming you foolish brat. Beware of the future you and this boy expect, it'll be full of-"

"Wait Wait..you're telling me that Souichi and I will be a couple?" i fake a gasp and the lady nods, "More of less." to that I begin to laugh, catching Souichi off guard since I don't normally smile or laugh.

"Uhh you're scaring me (Y/N)." I hear him tell me.

"Enough joking around then, goodbye weird lady." i say grabbing Souichi by the back of his black hoodie and dragging him with me. Haha I can't imagine being Souichi's girlfriend let alone life with him in the future, that fortune teller is nuts.
