I am in my high school in a large and crowded lunchroom, sitting with a group of people at a lunch table. I am sitting next to my best friend at the time. There is another couple across from us showing serious PDA and giggling about something as they whisper to one another. They are two of our close friends... well, his friends... He met them sometime before me in one of his classes last year and introduced them to me soon after we met. We were all chatting about us coming to the end of our senior year and what we were planning to do for prom but then the couple said something at the same time found it cute and then forgot about us. Their whole interaction was weird but they are always weird. 

I had never really shown interest in my friend and he showed no interest in me but this day was different... He was being weird and more touchy like we were in a relationship. I never thought of dating anyone as we would not be together long. I had to move around a lot for the sake of myself and the people around me.  He sometimes caught my eye.  He is attractive and it was a surprise when he came up to me one day and began to speak to me. I have never been popular or let myself be the center of attention. I stayed to myself not caring to make any friends as I knew I would not be here long and unable to keep the relationship anyway. I didn't want to as it just made it worse knowing  I could not be around them again and it just wasn't the best idea. He was not popular but he was known around the school as he played football last year when he started  but he kept to himself and had a small group of friends. I mean he is a big guy almost 7  feet in height broad shouldered and muscular. He could pass as a grown man with his beard and he has at least to me as when he approached me at the beginning of the year I thought he was a teacher about to tell me I was in trouble or something. He could tell I was lost and new right away somehow. I guess he sensed it as he was recently new. He was also well known around the school as girls found him to  be one of the hottest guys in our grade. Many have tried to get with him but he always turned them all down. I wondered why as a lot of those girls were super attractive and some of them popular. He really only gave attention to me even though he had never shown interest in a relationship with me. This made a lot of those girls jealous of me i could tell the way they looked at me when I was with him but they never did anything to me. I just was not invited to anything like he was or talked to like that by them. At least his friends were nice to me when I was around them. He never even showed interest in girls when we did hang out outside of school which was not often but he would be nice and look there way with a smiles saying they could maybe chat later. I also sometimes wondered could he be gay and using me to keep up the mystery of the possibility of him possibly liking girls. I would not have minded as I did not plan to be here much longer anyways and at least I had something to look forward to while I was here even if it was all a lie. 

I scrunch my face at the couple in disgust, but at the same time, I am lost in thought. We had been friends now for almost a year now longer than I thought we would be. I usually only last about a year in one location as something seems to happen before I can make it that far. I have been able to grow comfortable around him within the time we have had letting him know somewhat about my life and that I don't stay in one place for too long a something always happens but i have not told him what has and can happen nor have i told him why. What he doesn't know is my family is cursed because of something and ancestor long ago had done his name is cain and he was cursed by God because of him murdering his brother. He as cursed to wander and now so are we well... so am I as my ironically out of all my siblings I was chosen to have the curse. We don't know why and how it happened this way as usually more or all of the children ar cursed but just me. It skipped my mom between her and her siblings with the cursed on 4 of her other 8 siblings instead. Now if I stay one place for too long nor if i get too close to someone even thinking about beginning a life with them something bad happens and sometimes people have died. I don't want that to happen because of me so  I keep my distance. I do wonder what it would be like sometimes to be able to have a relationship and get that close to someone. I look over to him to see if he is making the same face and thinking the same way I am about this being too much to see but he just keeps a straight face looking at them. He looks over at me and at the same time and asks:
