MAISIE
WHY are we seeking revenge on someone who hurt us? Is it for satisfaction? An eye for an eye? To close your open wounds? For pleasure? Or do you just do it because you feel like doing it?
Well, you see. Revenge can lead you to two things. It either you get the justice that you always wanted, or you will only cause great destruction, not only on them, but also on you. Hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit tayo gumagawa ng mga bagay na hindi naman tayo sigurado kung mapagtatagumpayan natin? We take risks on something that we want to get.
Isa-isa kong tinignan ang mga kasama ko sa loob ng silid. Unang nakakuha ng atensyon ko ay ang katabi ko, the man that I love ever since I was a kid, the reason kung bakit ako nasangkot sa gulong ito. Vaughn, the one who broke her heart. Ciara, the one who badly wants to be her friend.
The next is Tati, friend of Jasmin, one of the reasons why she died. Lastly, Callie– the secret friend who knows everything except for one thing, who holds the missing petal. Well, all of us don't know who has it, we don't know who among us holds the truth.
Then there's Ms. LJ, our mysterious Adviser. Come to think of it, simula ng maging teacher namin siya ay wala man lang siyang kwinento tungkol sa buhay niya. Wala kaming alam sakanya bukod sa pangalan at edad niya. Tahimik ko siyang pinagmasdan, hanggang ngayon ay nakatakip pa rin ang kanyang isang kamay sa kanyang bibig, pinipigilan na makawala ang halakhak.
Lahat kami ay nasa kanya ang atensyon, hinihintay na kumalma siya at magsalita. Lumipas ang ilang minuto at inalis niya na ang kanyang kamay sa kanyang bibig at seryoso kaming tinignan isa-isa. Ngumisi siya bago mag salita, "Hindi ko inakala na hanggang ngayon hindi niyo pa rin alam kung sino nga ba ang nagbigay sa inyo ng sobre. Sino ang nagpasimula ng lahat ng 'to?"
"Class? I'm here! Your beloved teacher, Ms. LJ, the master mind! Surprise!" she said while laughing maniacally. She has this look in her eyes that tells me that she is not happy at all.
"Thank you, Callie for your effort," sabi niya kay Callie na tumango naman bilang sagot.
"You see, class. Callie helped me to execute this plan. She cooperated with me, so you must thank her because without her you wouldn't be here with us."
Did she seriously say that? She's out of her mind, that's for sure.
"Callie? Bakit hindi ka mag paliwanag kay Ciara? Look, naguguluhan na siya sa mga nangyayari," She said, sounding like a concern mom. But is she really concern? I don't think so.
Tumango naman muli si Callie at seryosong humarap kay Ciara. She looks so innocent, kaya naman hindi ko pa rin lubos maisip kung bakit niya ito ginawa. Why are you seeking for revenge, Callie?

Seryoso akong tumingin kay Ciara at sinimulan ng magpaliwanag sakanya habang inaalala ang mga kaganapan na nangyari kanina.
