My Roommate Stole My Lucky Charm Bracelet

My roommate, Nora Simmons, liked to take advantage of others.

The emerald bracelet I brought from my hometown appeared on her wrist the next day.

I quickly asked her to take it off. "This is a lucky bracelet with a spell. If anyone else besides its owner wears it, it will only bring bad luck."

Instead of following my advice, she still wore it and accused me of being a stingy girl who cursed her. However, she fell down the stairs the very next day.

And she still blamed me for allowing her to wear my bracelet and bringing her bad luck. "Emily Foster, I broke my leg because I was wearing your bracelet. You must compensate for me!"

Maybe she thought the compensation would be of great luck.

Little did she know that her misfortune had just begun.

When I was about to graduate, my mother, Lila Scott, mailed me an emerald bracelet from my hometown.

The emerald on it was so pure and glamorous, emitting a soft luster.

But just when I went downstairs to pick up a takeout, the bracelet was on the wrist of Nora.

Striking the bracelet, she felt reluctant to take it off.

She hinted to me eagerly, "Emily, this bracelet fits me perfectly. Is it my birthday present?"

I was appalled. "Nora, it's a lucky bracelet. My mother bought it for me. It has been blessed with a unique curse that will bring anyone beside its owner who wears it bad luck! Take it off now!"

Nora was displeased immediately.

"What are you talking about? Stop trying to freak me out! I'm so unlucky to be sharing a dorm with someone like you." After saying that, she shook off the bracelet and threw it on my bed.

I quickly put the bracelet away.

Fortunately, she didn't throw it to the ground; otherwise, if it was broken, she would be doomed.

Lila sent me the bracelet with a special note, repeatedly warning me that I should keep it close to my body for fourteen days before I could wear it.

Therefore, I deliberately put it in the innermost pocket of my clothes.

But the next day, when I was changing clothes after swimming class, I found that the bracelet in my pocket was missing.

I quickly called my boyfriend, Riley Wilson, and asked him if he had seen my bracelet because he was the one who put my clothes in a locker near the pool and kept the key to it.

But he just kept changing the subject.

His reaction got on my nerves. "Did you take it? You can't wear it because it will make you unlucky..."

Before I could finish my words, Riley interrupted me irritably.

"Can you stop you being so suspicious all the time? I don't need your bracelet. You must forget where you put it." After saying that, he hung up the phone angrily.

But after searching every corner of the lockers in the locker room and my dormitory, I still couldn't find it.

Just when I was about to tell Lila in a down mood on the phone, I received a message from my best friend, Susan Edwards.
