THE CLUB: Dark Secrets (English)

I- Dear Professor

Girl's Dormitory

Room 303

Anne was all alone in the room, lying on her bed and having a deep thought. Thinking of what Mike said a while ago and remembering how everything started to mess up.

Camera club was formed last year because of their passion on art and taking photos. This also serves as their bonding time. The first few months were fine until their class adviser suddenly died.

Mr. Rañezes always encouraged them to do their passion. He was the one who helped them form the club and pass it to the admin. He even used his own money to help them buy their materials. He was also the one who picked the room at the end of the fifth floor of the high school building. The room was old but they managed to make it nice and useful again.

Their adviser was really supportive and they really had fun with him.

To them he was like a father, a brother and a friend..

They only wondered why he refused to let other students join the club. He just told them that the club was still new that's why.

Everything was going well until one afternoon Mr. Rañezes called for a meeting. It was noticeable how haggard looking he was.

"Sir, are you okey?" Mike asked as soon as he entered the room.

Mr. Rañezes consolingly patted him on the shoulder before sitting beside him. "I need to go home for a while."

"But sir, how about the exhibit?" Mike expressed his concern.

"You can lead them Mike. I will not be here all the time to guide you. You must always be prepared for anything." Mr. Rañezes advised. " You all have God's given gifts and I'm pretty sure you can manage without me that is why I'm really proud to be your club adviser. Just always remember to help and support one another no matter what happens.

"Sir, you sound like you're saying goodbye for good." Tom, who always has a way of lightening things up, remarked while eating Pringles.

Mr. Rañezes just smiled.

After further instructions, they were all dismissed except for Anne and Iah.

Mr. Rañezes handed them an old black-copper colored book as big as a medium size notebook. "Do not open this until you really need to. Many will not beleive you but you must endure it all."

"What do you mean?" Anne asked confused.

"The day will come and you will understand it all. Each of you has an important role to play." And with that he hastily went away.

"A role to play?" Iah uttered while watching their adviser as he went away.

Anne was in a hurry that day. She's carrying a box full of art materials that they will be using for the exhibit. She could already see the Club room's door and was surprised to see Mr. Rañezes went in.

"It's only two days, he's back already?"

Marc suddenly came running and accidentally bumped her. They both fell into the ground.
