COPULA TRILOGY: Her Vengeance

Frame #3: Taking Steps

[Chapter Three: Taking Steps]

Although I'm just undercover, I can't help but feel annoyed towards my new roommate.

After our staring contest earlier, she eventually walked towards the bathroom while I did my own business in my new room. Wala na akong nagawa dahil ayaw ko ring magpasimula ng away.

Inayos ko nalang ang mga damit at nilabas ang mga equipment na pinadala sa akin papunta rito. I locked the door before taking out the rest of the things that I have inside the bag. Dinikit ko ang mga papel na nasa folder sa pader. I eyed each of the papers before nodding my head in satisfaction. Nagpalit ako ng damit at sinuot na ang uniform ko.

I'm already late for my first class. I can attend the second one and the rest of the subjects for this day.

Saglit akong nagpahinga bago pinagpasyahang lumabas ng kwarto. Tahimik ang salas nang makalabas ako. I can sense that my roommate left the room after she took a bath.

I walk towards the kitchen to find something to eat. Binuksan ko ang ref at nakita ko ang kumpletong mga pagkain. Fresh milk, eggs, bacon, some beers, juices in a can, and some unfamiliar processed foods.

How can a student smuggle a beer inside this place? Let alone taking it to the dormitory?

I took the fresh milk and poured some in a glass. Kumuha ako ng mansanas at dinala 'yon papunta sa salas. I sat on the sofa and started munching the apple that I was holding.

The seven days are secured. The headmistress told me that my position will be as good as new when I come back. If I pass the assessments and interrogations, makakabalik na ako sa trabaho ko.

I gritted my teeth when I suddenly thought of Acrid.

I want her down already.

I closed my eyes to relax myself. Ayokong ma-distract ako sa gitna ng misyon ko. That raggedy bitch will pay soon.

My mission is to take care of that girl from afar. The piece of information that Headmistress needs is about a woman named Witwicket. I need to know where they usually enter this place. Considering that the walls are securing this school, the information that I read says that they keep on terrorizing this place, leading to the death of some students being killed by them.

Her niece will arrive tomorrow. I'll take this opportunity to roam around the place.

Nang maubos ko ang mansanas at ang gatas ay agad akong pumunta sa kusina at hinugasan ang baso. In the middle of washing the glass, I remembered the boy that the headmistress mentioned. He's a Fontenelle.

Mabilis kong tinapos ang paghuhugas at mabilis na lumabas ng dorm. Sinalubong ako ng ilang mga estudyante na naglalakad sa hallway. Some of them are looking at me, maybe asking themselves why a newbie has the guts to roam the whole school without any map with her. Morwittz is big, and that doesn't bother me.

Lumabas ako ng building at dumiretsyo palabas ng gate. I walked towards the main building. I have no destination for now. I just hope that I could see Fontenelle randomly to make sure that he's really here.

Huminto ako nang makarating ako sa hallway na naglalaman ng mga locker ng mga estudyante, and when I checked every locker, I finally saw mine. My name is written on a paper sticking on top of my locker.

I opened my locker; it was empty. Sinarado ko nalang ulit 'yon at nagpatuloy sa paglalakad.

I walked slowly when I saw the word 'Cafeteria' on the wall, and it had an arrow pointing forward. I followed the arrow, and within some seconds, I saw the cafeteria.
