Larry Jones, who is born curious, is taking breakfast with his parents. He waves them goodbye and leaves for his college.
         Standing in front of the class, he sees a boy is sitting all alone. And he is a kind of sad. So, he walks to him and says, "May I sit with you?"

       The boy lifts his head and says, "There are many places empty for you to sit. Why do you want to sit with me?"
       Larry says with a grin, "It's my wish. Now, please excuse me." The boy let Larry sit and he gives the boy a hand and says, "Hi! I'm Larry Jones. You?"

The boy says, shaking hands, "Chris Zephan."

Larry asks him directly, "Would you mind telling me why you always remain sad and alone? Don't you have any friends?"

 Chris says, smirking, "Who wants to be a friend of a nerd?" 

"I'll be your friend," Larry says. 

Chris looks at him with surprise. He wasn't expecting this, as Larry is the most popular boy in college and he is brilliant too.

Chris says, "Umm, I don't know what to say. To be honest, I just can't believe you."

       Larry says, smiling, "You're thinking I'll also bully you, and that's the reason you aren't believing me. Right?" 

Chris says with a grin, "Yeah." 

"But, you can believe as I'm not that kind of guy." 

"Then, it's okay," Chris replies, grinning ear to ear.

Before Larry could say anything more, the teacher enters the class and they pay attention to his lecture. 

        During break time, when they are taking lunch, Jack, Paul and Noah come to them. They're the famous bullies in the college, and Paul and Noah are also best friends of Larry.
          They always bother other students and Chris is mostly bullied by them. 

Jack asks Larry, "Hey, dude! What in the world are you doing with this nerd?" 

Noah asks Chris, "Hey, four-eyes nerd! How many times do we have to tell you to stay away from us?"

        Chris was about to say something, but suddenly, a black rose fell from the top on his lap and a sweet aroma of rose spreads in the air. Larry becomes curious, those boys get confused, and Chris becomes afraid.
        He says, looking here and there, "Please go from here. I don't need you now. They are my classmates, and I don't want them to get hurt. Please leave them."

        A message written with blood appears on the table; 'Okay. I'm leaving.' Chris sighs and keeps the rose on that message and then everything disappears. Larry's curiosity increases, and those boys get become frightened than ever.
          But, Chris doesn't pay any attention to it, as a voice whispers in his ear, "Tell them to stay away from you, because next time, I'll not spare them. And you have to create a close friendship with Larry Jones as he is so brave and brilliant. But he is a bit curious which may cause a great danger!"

"I'll, but please don't harm him. I have no problem with his curiosity." Chris says. That voice saying, 'I have' disappears.

      Chris turns to those boys, and looks at them with his void eyes. He says, "I'm requesting you not to bother me anymore, otherwise you all have to die and then I'll have nothing to do." 

"Whatever!" Jack says with a smirk and leaves the place. 

Going far from Larry and Chris, Paul says, "We'll not bother him anymore. Who knows if he has a ghost with him or something? I don't want to die in young age."
