The Siren Curse
This is the story of a girl with the siren curse. Ever since she was little she loved to sing. Everyone of the opposite gender would fall in love with her if they heard her sing. If you asked them why they liked her, they wouldn't know. This girl, she wanted true love. So she stopped singing in order to do so. This girl’s name is Kiren.
Chapter 1
This was the start of a new day. A new day at Scoren High. They were famous for having a lot of girls here. So just in case I end up wanting to sing, there shouldn't be that many guys there to hear it. Since this is a new school I have yet to make any friends. Hopefully there's some nice people here.
Once I had reached the classroom, there were 2 things I noticed; 1. The famous song director's son was here, 2. A popular singer was also here. That’s when I realized Scoren High wasn’t famous for having a lot of girls. They were famous for having celebrities. This was going to be a lot harder than I first thought it was.
After school I went to my dorm room. I was exhausted. Hearing the singer named Jun hum tunes made me want to burst out singing. But for the sake of true love I held it in! I was looking forward to meeting my new dorm mate though. At least there was that!
“Hello!!!” I yelled bursting through the door. There stood the famous singer Mary. Yep. This is going to be a lot harder than it should be. “Oh hello, Who must you be?” she asked as she whipped her light brown twin tails around. “I- I’m Karin,” I said hesitating at her beauty. She smiled that innocent smile that a kid would usually shine. “Are you a singer of some sort?,” she asked tilting her head to the side a bit. I shook my head wildly and replied with, “I’m just a normal student.” She looked so sad at that fact that I unconsciously added, “But I’m trying to be singer!” When I finally realized what I had said it was way too late. “Oh really! I can help you with that then!” She said jumping up down and went to grab her phone. “W-wait, I d-didn’t mean to…..” I said but it was too late she had already started talking to the other side of the phone. When she finally finished she went to go get something from a box. It was a recording set. “In order for him to agree I need to record your singing first!” She said excitedly. What exactly have I done?
Chapter 2
Mary quickly set up the recording needs. “What song are you going to sing?” She asked still looking at the screen. “I guess What now By Rihanna.” I said knowing now it’s too late to take back. She quickly typed in the title and handed me the headphones. I sighed and put them on. I sat down next to the mic and started to sing once the song went on. I haven’t sang in so long. I guess it was time to let it out. I poured my heart out into the song... I mean might as well right?
When the song was over I looked over to Mary. She looked as if she saw a ghost. She was pale, her eyes were big and her mouth hanged a bit. “A-amazing!!!” She praised loudly. She quickly grabbed my hands and started shaking them roughly. “I just know you’re going to be popular!!” she assured. She then went to the laptop and quickly saved the recording and sent it the director she called earlier. It was not soon when she received the phone call.
After a minute her face lit up. She turned to me and hugged me tightly. “Congratulations!!!” She celebrated. She looked at me all innocently. “Tomorrow after school you need to meet up with Terrence!” she explained. Terrence was the son of a famous music director. “He’s in my class…” I explained to her when I remembered him. “ Oh then this should be easy!” She excited claimed.
Chapter 3
Once I reached class I felt a pair of eyes on me. It was Terrence. Guess he already knew who it was… Hopefully though the curse didn’t register through the recording. I need to tell him. I need to tell him I can’t do it. I need some kind of excuse though. I’m sure I’ll think of one soon.
I thought all through class and have yet thought of an excuse. So I thought of just leaving right when the bell rang and run straight back to the dorm room. But of course I’m not exactly fast. Right before I could even start running, Terrence came up to me and told me to come with him. I followed him into a cake shop. Inside he told me to order anything. So he ordered a mocha cake and I ordered a strawberry one. After a couple minutes of straight up silence I decided to speak up, “You don’t have to do it.” I looked him dead in the eye. “I want to. Or more like I need to.” I said back with his mouth full of cake. “What?” I said eyeing him curiously. He swallowed the cake and looked at me seriously, “I need to surpass my dad. As you know he’s a famous director. He has made several people the most famous. I want to do more. More than what he could ever imagine. In order to do so I need someone that’s good at singing. And with that, I fell in love with your voice the first second I heard it. I know for sure it will work!” He said proudly. So the curse did register through the recording. After that speech I don’t think I can take it back. Though maybe I can help him. Help him with this curse of mine. Maybe I can make it gift instead. “So will you help me with this?” He asked looking sincerely at me. I’m already too deep to back out now. “Alright,” I sighed. He smiled at me brightly. “So, what do you want your public name to be?” he asked getting out a notepad and pen. A name huh? Well ever since I was little, my parents called me Little Siren. So I guess…”Siren?” I said questioningly. He scribbled down the name and closed the notepad. “Thanks! And your name?” He asked. He knew what I looked like but not my name? “Kiren. Kiren Allard.” I said matter a factly. He smiled and introduced himself too, “Terrence Stafford” Then payed for the cake and left. I looked down at the now empty plate. I guess goodbye to finding true love.
