I was in my last year of high school, not very popular, not very unpopular either.
I was just a shy boy, quiet and not very courageous.
My name is Toby Anderson.
Everything changed the day I found the red emerald.
It was during lunch when I saw it buried in the ground.
It shone like it was calling for me.
It was round and small, like a baseball, but a red emerald doesn't have the same texture as a baseball.
I felt strange when I touched it, like it was alive.
I decided to hide it in my backpack to study it later in my room.
When I arrived home, I put the red emerald on my desk and turned on my computer.
I wanted to know what kind of stone it was and how old it was.
After searching on the internet for information about the red emerald, I found nothing.
I was curious about how it ended up on the ground of my school, so I decided to ask someone older than me.
I went to see my best friend Lily Carter.
We had been friends since kindergarten.
We were inseparable until middle school when she went to a private school.
Recently, we had started hanging out again.
We lived in the same neighborhood and attended the same high school.
She was smarter than anyone I knew and very resourceful.
After school, I went to the place where we usually met, near an old oak tree.
The leaves were rustling softly in the wind.
I pulled the red emerald out of my backpack.
"This is it," I said, holding it out to her.
Her eyes widened as she took it from my hand.
"It's beautiful," she said, her voice filled with curiosity.
"When I touched it, it felt alive," I told her, remembering the tingling sensation that had coursed through me when I first picked it up.
Lily turned the emerald over in her hand, studying it closely.
Her fingers brushed against its smooth surface.
"We need to be careful with this," she said, glancing around to make sure no one was watching us.
"Why?" I asked, feeling a mix of excitement and apprehension.
"Because," she whispered, leaning closer, "my grandfather once told me about a stone just like this—he said it was cursed."
"Cursed?" I echoed, my heart skipping a beat as I looked at the red emerald with newfound fear.
Lily nodded solemnly.
"I don't know what to believe, but we need to be careful."
She handed the emerald back to me, her eyes serious.
I felt a shiver run down my spine as I tucked it into my pocket.
The old oak tree loomed above us, its branches swaying gently in the breeze.
I glanced up at it, feeling a sense of unease wash over me.
"I'm scared," I admitted, my voice barely above a whisper.
Lily nodded, her expression serious but also reassuring.
"We need to figure out what this thing really is," she said, glancing around as if she expected someone to be listening in on our conversation.
I took a deep breath, feeling a surge of determination rise up within me.
Together, we decided to go see Lily's grandfather for answers.
He was an old man who lived nearby and had a vast knowledge of history and mythology.
As we made our way to Lily's grandfather's house, the streets seemed eerily quiet.
I kept my hand in my pocket, my fingers brushing against the red emerald.
It felt warm to the touch, as if it were alive.
Lily walked beside me, her pace quickening with each step.
We reached her grandfather's quaint cottage, which was covered in ivy and had a small wooden door.
I knocked three times, and after a moment, the door creaked open.
Lily's grandfather stood before us, his eyes curious and bright.
He invited us inside, and we followed him into a room filled with old books and strange artifacts that smelled of herbs and incense.
