MARINA
Prente akong naglakad sa hallway kahit pa nararamdaman ko ang matatalim na mga titig na ipinupukol nila sa akin. I mix myself with a bunch of students who are now rushing to their own classes.
When I reached the gymnasium, I turn my body right, and I find all of my classmates sitting on the bench, with the murderer in front of them.
Ms. Julia Corazon, our P.E. teacher is instructing them while holding a bow. A yellow whistle is hanging around her neck.
That bitch.
I won't let you get away with murder.
I walk towards the metal bench with my head up. "Good morning," I greet, and obviously, none of the answered.
What do you expect from a pile of weirdos?
I sigh but didn't put any reaction on my face. I sit at the corner beside Alliyah, at napansin ko ang pag-usog niya palayo sa akin dahil do'n.
It's not like my mental illness is contagious, idiot.
Ms. Corazon didn't seem to notice my arrival, or at least she's trying hard not to show that she's bothered.
I lock my eyes at her talking face. Hindi pa rin ako makapaniwalang ang isang kagaya niyang matanda't mahina na ay may kakayahang pumaslang ng isang inosenteng estudyante.
Well, I guess murder doesn't only work for those who are powerful enough to commit it, but also to those who are desired enough.
She intends to kill.
We must avoid her.
But first, I need to confirm the reason behind her murdering Nadia. I need to understand what her motive was, because I know that she won't kill without any reason.
Was she trying to prevent Nadia from talking?
But what did Nada knew about her, then? If that's the case, it must be a secret. It must be something that pushed her to slit Nadia's neck. It must be something that would surely ruin her image if disclosed to the public.
Or was she angry at Nadia?
What did Nadia do that pushed her to the limits?
Or, what did Nadia say?
Or maybe, this teacher in front of me is a pawn of someone, of something bigger than what I imagined and she was just instructed to kill Nadia.
