LIBBY POV
It's been three months…
Oh no! It's so late I'm going to be late for school!
Pix never stood out too much in our class… She was just a simple girl, really. I wasn't too close to her, but I was always worrying about Pix being alone. I hoped I could be her friend. But…that didn't happen… I started walking to school.
Three months ago, Pix went missing. She wasn't coming to school, and she hadn't come home either. She's not the type to flee home. Her parents were saying she might've gotten involved in something.
Our class spread that rumor that Pix was long dead by now. I really hope they're wrong… I wanted to be her friend…
"Find me…"
-IN CLASS-
"So, here… and then you have…" the teacher, Mr. Ai, was teaching.
The voice I heard…was that Pix? Mr. Ai came up to me angry. "You've got guts to ignore my lecture. This information will be essential for the test. So you'd better listen!" he said. "Y-Yes, sir! I'm sorry!" I apologized. He walked back to his desk, and I heard Kinuko giggling.
-school bells (after class)-
"Mr. Ai has a new suit! Like, whoa! Super suave!" Ningyo giggled. Ningyo is my best friend, a fad-following girl who looks up to Mr. Ai. "Ningyo, you've been talking him up all morning! Don't you ever get tired up blabbing?" I said. "But he's suuuch a ladies man! He's so nice, and smart, and the BEST!" Ningyo blabbed. "Oh yeah! Gotta use some hand cream! Doo-doot-doo… Did you hear? There's a rumor Mr. Ai has a hand fetish! So maybe if I clean my hands constantly every day all the time, he'll like me more!" I gave her a really weird look and said, "I don't really…care, Ningyo."
"Don't really care, she says! HA! You've got no eye for men, Libby. Seriously, what do you see in a seducer like Yuri?" My cheeks got all red, "I-I never said I like anybody! I just think he's kind of cool, that's all…" Ningyo started smiling, "Reeeally? Nyeeheehee." I barked "Yes, really!"
Kinuko came in, "There's been some spoooooky paranormal business going on at this school… I'm getting a little freaked…" Yuri ran in and made me jump a little bit. "Paranormal, my ass!" Yuri is a boy carefree in appearance, personality, everything, and he's my classmate. "I'm for real! IT'S for real! The other day, a kid in the other class got dragged away in the bathroom!" Kinuko said. Kinuko is my classmate and she is leader of the bullies.
Katsumi appeared out of nowhere with that sad expression of his, just about scared me too death. "There was also the glass in the third floor hallway being broken from inside…" Katsumi is my classmate, he's a calm, early-maturing youth. "Gotta be ghosts!" Kinuko said with a smirk. "Eeeek! I'm scared!" Rini said. Rini is my classmate, she's Yuri's girlfriend. Yuri got up to Kinuko, "Ghosts, huh? Dumbass! Those ain't exist!" He paused for a moment and then spoke, "Wait…whadiff.. This's Pix's curse…?" Everybody looked at him alarmed, Katsumi looked annoyed, "Look, this is no time for jokes..".
"But I mean, it's totally possible! It's been three months since she vanished! The this stuff just suddenly starts!" Kinuko said. Yuri looked at her for a second, "If those events are 'Pix's Curse'… Then Kinuko will be cursed sooner or later." Kinuko frowned, "H-Hmm?! Whatever did I do?!" Katsumi looked neutral yet a little angry, "Kinuko… You did bully Pix a lot…". "Bullying?! Why, I never! I was just making a little fun!" Kinuko piped in. "And Yuri always screwed with Pix! You're the one who'll get cursed!"
Yuri laughed, "Me? Hah, I'm fine! Pix looked up to me!" Katsumi glanced around the room, "I wonder…" Rini hugged Yuri's arm, "Yuriii, I'm scaaared… I mean, I'm your girlfriend… Pix might have a grudge…"
"Don't sweat it, Rini. I'll protect you!" Yuri assured her. "Aww! You're so nice, Yuri!" Kinuko looked sick, "Pah! Do what you like, lovebirds!" Yuri got down to his knees and said, "Pix, please don't curse usss! The rest are fair game, though! Oops, did I say that out loud? Gahahahah!" Suddenly everything felt weird and I think there was an earthquake for a second. "An earthquake…?!" Kinuko said. All the lights turned off and I got freaked out. "Wh-Wha?! It got dark right quick! What the heck's goin' on?!" Yuri said frightened. Kinuko whispered, "Maybe, just maybe… it really is Pix's curse? Pix's really mad at us!" Yuri sounded angry and scared at the same time, "Sh-Shaddup! What the hell! I was just kidding about that curse crap!" I felt something and was alarmed, "Ah…!"
"Libby?" Ningyo said. I suddenly heard that voice again, "Help…" it chanted in my head. "Pix…? Pix! I can hear her speaking to me… "
"Oh, now it's gotta be her!" Kinuko said. Yuri just got angrier and angrier, "SH-SHUT IT! I don't hear her damn voice!" He walked over to me "Libby! Y-You're talkin' crazy talk!" I looked at him angry, "I'm not…! Ah…!" I heard that voice again whispering ,"Find Me…". "P…Pi…x…" Suddenly an ear-splitting scream that scared to death came out of nowhere "EEEEE! Findmehelpmefindmehelpmefind mehelpme!" Suddenly everything disappeared and I fainted.
