My eyes open. My body stretches. I flick my hands. I get out of my bed and sit for a while. While facing the two-century old rocking chair of my passed away great grandmother, my eyes roll to the calendar. March 21. Last day of school. Time? 6:27 AM. I should be at school at exactly 7:00 AM. ....... "Mike! Get out of that bed and get ready for school! It's your last day. You wouldn't want to miss it, would you?" That's my mom.
"Yeah! Be there in a sec." Oh, yeah. I hadn't introduced my self yet. I'm Mike Chua. Full name? Michael Reed Chua. Half Filipino, Half Chinese. I live in the Philippines. I am 16 years old. My height is 5'8. Pretty not so much to be ashamed of. The reason we should be early is because we have a closing ceremony and activity. That's why I hate the last days. Anyway, after school ends, my friends and I will have a sleepover in a resort. But, we still don't know what resort we'll go to. "MICHAEL CHUA! Don't make me go up there! This is the second time I've called you. Get yourself down here!" My mom always shouts like that. "Yeah! Haaaaah.. alright.. alright". I get out of my bed and I go down. I see my mom staring at me with the face you do not want to see.
Anyway, after a few minutes, I go to school. I exactly arrive at 7:01 AM. Good thing I'm still not late. A few seconds later, we go to the school's gymnasium and I and the whole student body go sit down on the chairs and listen to the school principal's speech for the closing ceremony because it's the last day. So, yeah.
12:00. Lunch time. My friends and I go to our regular place in the school's cafeteria. We talk about our outing later that day. We still didn't know what resort we'll stay in. "How about the resorts in Batangas?" That was Jay Clarence. The youngest in our group. The 15 year old guy with the orange braces on. "No, it's too far." I replied. "Actually, it's a good place to go look for resorts," said Klaire Hespair. The 16 year old girl who always brings a book wherever she goes. The bookworm, more like it. "Okay, fine." I answered back. "So, we done here? You guys done eating? It's just it's so dirty here! Yuck!" said the most flirty girl in our group. Trixie Green. 15 years old. 5 months older than Jay. "Oh wait guys! I know a resort that won't be pretty expensive." said Jay. "What resort?" Klaire said. "You know... the resort in the hidden barangay Dalire." Jay replied. "Yeah! Let's go there!" Trixie said. "But, I heard there are rumors i----". THE BELL SUDDENLY RINGS. We go back to the gymnasium. "Hey, Jay. What did you say earlier? I didn't quite hear you clearly." I said. "Haahh... I said that there are rumo---" "HEEEY! JAY! HEEEY! MIKE! I heard that you have an outing later this day. Can I come?" said the 16 year old football player. His name is Reece Cray. "Umm... let me see. Hey Jay, can he come?" "I don't know." said Jay in reply. I felt a sense of frustration and irritation in Jay's voice. What's with him? Anyway, "Uhh.. yeah. You can come. Tell the two girls that you'll come." I said to Reece. "Yes!" said Reece. \
After school ended, we all went back to our houses to get ready. After that, we went to the meeting place. And, just as planned, we went to Batangas. Not knowing what lies us there.
