“We’re having our graduation ball this coming Saturday evening.” Mrs. Buena said—homeroom teacher.
Everyone’s cheering is full of excitement.
“Let’s go shopping later guys!” Saih cheerfully said to her friends—referring to Syd, Savi And Kofi.
“Nagbabalak ka nanaman ng matching dresses right?” Kofi answered with a lazy tone.
“It’s cool y’know? That was called ‘friendship goals’, naks talino ko!” Saih proudly said.
“Whatever.” She rolled her eyes—Kofi.
“Tang-na mo Konrad namumuro ka na!” Syd shouted.
Konrad laughed.
“Kulay pink kulay ng bra niya! HAHAHHAHA.” He teases more.
“Tumigil nga kayo sakit nyo sa mata tsk.” Theo said.
“Inggit ka lang, nandiyan naman kasi si Saih di mo lambingin.” Ungot ni Konrad.
Everyone laughs when they saw Saih blushed.
“Stop teasing me!” Saih shouted, now she looks like a ripe tomato.
“Bat tahimik ka?” Savi asked Keiro who was sitting silently.
“Don’t mind me mahal just go with them.” He smiled.
“You sure? Walang masakit sayo?” alalang hinaplos nito ang noo at leeg niya.
“I’m all good.” He replied and gave Savi a forehead kiss.
Even she’s worried she still managed to go with her friends.
“Anong topic?” Thaddeus, the most lutang creature.
Lahat sila ay napahilamos sa mukha dahil dito.
[ f a s t f o r w a r d ]
“Good evening everyone! Please enjoy yourselves tonight.” The MC announced.
The graduation ball is white and old rose theme.
You can say that the designer is an expert in decorating because it was elegantly prepared.
“Where’s Keiro?” Konrad asked.
“Don’t know either, kanina pa hindi mapakali si Savi because she can’t reach Keiro’s phone.” Saih answered.
“Thaddeus, didn’t you two come here together? Is it?” Savi sobs.
“Hindi, ‘di kami nagsabay, kasi sabi niya may aasikasuhin pa siya at susunod na lang.” he answered.
Napasinghap ang lahat ng biglang mamatay ang ilaw.
“May power interruption bang i-na-nounce?” students in the ball asked.
“Wala naman akong nakitang post na may power interruption ngayon.” Another student replied.
Everyone shouts when they hear a loud bang—gun shot.
You can now hear their sobs echoing the university’s gymnasium.
When the lights came back, the students were all shocked by the MC covered with blood on the stage.
“Oh my gosh!” Syd shouted.
“Let’s get out of here.” Kofi said then grab her friends.
But unfortunately, the gymnasium’s door was locked outside.
“Sino ang walang hiyang may gawa nito?!” Saih hysterically cries.
“Hush, everything’s gonna be alright.” Theo hugged her.
Then for the 2nd time, the lights went out and they heard two gun shots.
As expected, two people are lying on the floor bathing with their own blood.
“I can’t stand it.” Savi’s knees collapsed.
Time passes by, every time the lights go out they’re hearing shout, sobs, and gun shots.
Only their group was left in the hall.
“W-What the fck is happening.” Even Thaddeus cried.
“AHHHHH!” Syd shouts when Konrad fell on the floor with eyes opened.
“H-He’s dead.”—Kofi.
“You can’t escape, death is your only choice to be free.” A familiar voice echoed in the sound system.
“K-Keiro.”—Savi.
“Hi mahal.” He smiled like a psycho.
“I-Ikaw ba ang may gawa nito?!” Theo shouts but Keiro shoot him dead.
“Oops, my fingers slipped.” He laughs.
“I love you! To the point that I’m ready to sacrifice myself for you! But why are you doing this Keiro?! Mahal.” Savi shouted frustratedly.
“Because it’s fun.” Keiro replied with a dreadful smirk on his face and pulled out his gun then pointed it to Savi’s forehead.
“It’s not funny Keiro!”—Saih, but like Theo, she ended up bathing with her own blood.
“T-This..this is insane!” Syd bursts into tears.
“Stop now Keiro, it’s not funny at all.”—Thaddeus muttered with a serious tone.
“Why would I?” You can’t recognize him anymore.
The old Keiro is gone.
“Stop this Keir-“ Kofi didn’t manage to finish her words when Keiro shot her and Syd in forehead.
“M-Mahal, please stop.” Savi run the space and hugged him.
“I love you.” Keiro said in a low-voice. And shoot Thaddeus.
“Keiro please stop, I’m begging you.” Savi cries soundly.
“I’m sorry.” He whispered and caresss her hair. Then shoot her first before himself.
*crowds clapping*
The students are starting to stand up.
They made a straight line in the theatre hall then bowed their head in unison.
“Once again, the Grade 12-Phytagoras, palakpakan natin sila sa nakaka-thrill nilang performance na maski akong Dean ay nagsitaasan ang balahibo sa intense ng acting skills nila.” Mr. Guffer—the dean.
*everyone claps again*
But in the middle of the crowds cheering, a loud bang occurs.
The students on the stage looked at each other.
“Miss me?” a man named Vun appeared.
“T-This is bad.” Keiro muttered.
The End
