The Professor's DEATH

WILBERT GUEVARRA

I woke up with a hangover the next morning. I get a medicine to cure my aching head. I felt dizzy but I still managed to got up from my bed. I did all my morning routine to better prepare myself for a long day that I will spent in school.

When everything was done, I went inside my car and drive my way to the school.

Minutes after, I arrived at my room and noticed that my classmates are already inside.

"You're late." I almost stop breathing when I heard that voice.

"Sorry." I said. 'Needless to say that, Sir. It's obvious.' I mentally argued with what he said.

"For the second time." Then a sudden flashback of my first day occupied my mind.

"Sorry for the second time." I casually said, un-bothered of what he will say again to me.

"Now you're being sarcastic." Suddenly, an image of him kissing that almost naked woman flashed into my mind. I looked at him with the same intensity his stares are given to me. In the end, he was the one who break the eye contact.

"You may take your seat." I sigh in relief after he said those words.

The class went on for one and a half hour before he finally announced the words I've longing to hear.

"Class dismissed." All of us stood up from our respective seats and ready to leave the room.

"Ms. Wan, to the detention room." I mentally cursed him and rolled my eyes afterwards.

"It can wait. I still have a class to attend, Sir." With that, I turned my back at him and stormed outside the room.

He'll probably get mad at what I did, but it's totally fine for me. While on my way, I started thinking of possible things to do that will serve as my punishment. I shook my head at that thought.

Suddenly an unknown thrilling sound echoed in my head. I found myself bewitched with that foreign music that I am hearing. The music seems to come from afar. It's creeping me out but it sends a chilling effect on my whole-being. The nearer I get, the more the sound became inaudible. It then stops when I reached the exact location.

'Where the hell am I?' I asked myself when I found that I am currently standing in front of an unfamiliar part of the school. It looks like an abandoned building. It was quite old, probably built decades ago. It can easily be destroyed by an earthquake or even typhoon.

'How did I managed to get myself in here?' My mind was occupied with various thoughts earlier to the point that I wasn't able to notice that I am taking the wrong path leading me to this stranger place.

The door of a certain room was slightly open. I went near to it and took a clandestine glance of what's inside. There, I saw nothing but a messy room filled with dusts and insects. 'Should I sneak inside?' My mind battled at that thought but I gave up. I can't go inside, it's prohibited.

I roamed my eyes at the surrounding to see if there are other people aside from me but I see no one. 'I am alone here but why do I feel like I am with someone? Is it a ghost?' Ah, nevermind. I shook my head side by side before I finally decided to leave.

I've only had a few steps away from the building but I was taken aback when someone grab me from behind and cover my mouth with his hand to prevent me from screaming. I didn't expect this to happen. I learned martial arts for almost 10 years but I couldn't even use my defense mechanism strategies to this man who abducted me.

A stranger brought me inside a room. "It's me, don't shout." A familiar voice of a man filled my ears. I kicked his balls and he groaned in pain. "Serves you right." With that, I smirked at him.
