Kuro's POV
Pusang gala, parang kanina lang bagong taon e, may pasok na naman. "Hays, ang tagal naman ng breaktime." Bulong ko sa sarili ko habang nakatingin sa labas ng bintana at naka sandal sa aking kamay. "Miss ko na agad maglaro ng cod—" Napahinto ako nang may mapansin ako sa labas ng bintana. Bukod sa ingay ng mga ibang studyante na naglalaro ng football, kaagaw pansin ang isang tao na naka itim mula taas hanggang ibaba at tago ang mukha nito sa isang itim na mask.
Pansin ko rin ang dala dala niyang malaking bag sa likuran niya, ano kaya trip nito?
"And... Mr. Cruz, what can you say about the discussion?" Gulat akong napatayo sa boses ni Ms. Bruiss, History Teacher namin. "Ah, ehm... Nice one, ma'am!" Ani ko habang naka like pose. Dinig ko naman ang maliit na tawanan ng mga kaklase ko habang paunti-unti kong ibinababa ang kamay ko dahil sa mukha ni Ms. Bruiss, "To my office, now!"
Tangina, office na naman.
Lacey's POV
"Siraulo 'yon si Kuro, ampota suki na sa mga office." Ani ni Leary habang naglalakad kaming apat nina Fudgee at Craeji papuntang canteen kung nasaan ang iba sa 'min. "Feeling mysterious kasi gago, ano kaya tinitignan no'n sa bintana?" Natatawang sambit ni Craeji.
Hindi ko na rin mapigilang tumawa dahil sa nangyari kanina. Ngunit sandali lamang iyon dahil may asungot na naman sa harap ko.
"Let's talk." Ani ni Kasey.
Sinenyasan naman ako ng mga kasama ko na sumunod kay Kasey, gosh.
. . .
"What?" I asked. Ano na naman kaya ang plano mo, Kasey.
"Can you sit? I can't keep my head up looking at you." Ani niya. Hindi na ako nag matigas at umupo nang 'di kalayuan sa kaniya. "Hurry up, Kasey. I have things to do."
"Lacey, I just can't keep going on like this anymore..." Sambit niya, hindi pa man siya tapos sa sasabihin niya ay mabilis akong tumayo. "My friends are waiting for me." Agad akong umalis, kahit na rinig ko ang tawag niya sa pangalan ko ay hindi ako lumingon sa kaniya. Gosh, is she about to apologize? What a shameless bitch.
After what she did to me and Mom, there's no need for her to apologize, because I don't think I would ever forgive her.
. . .
Yseult's POV
I raised my hand as I saw Lacey looking for us. She can never find it everytime she's looking for us, you can just look at her and think, "Is she lost?" Lol.
And, yes. Someone's definitely missing and for the FIRST time wala siya rito sa canteen at nagiingay. "Nasaan si Kuro?" Tanong ko, "'Di ba nasa office 'yun ni Ms. Bruiss? Kanina pa ata 'yon nandoon e." sagot sa akin ni Fudgee, "Oh, that's strange."
Hindi ko pa man naisusubo ang kanin sa bibig ko nang may malakas na alarm ang pumaligid sa buong campus. Now, what the f— is going on?
"Attention, please! Attention, please! A masked individual, dressed entirely in black, last seen was near the Main Entrance and could possibly be anywhere inside the school building. Reports suggest he may be carrying a dangerous device. This is not a drill. Do not attempt to engage or approach this person under any circumstances. Your safety is paramount. Immediately and quietly proceed to the nearest designated safe zone. Follow instructions from school staff and emergency personnel. Remain calm but alert. We have contacted emergency services. Awaiting further instructions. This is a serious threat. Your cooperation is crucial."
