"Austin. Wait up!"

Nagtuloy tuloy lang sya sa paglalakad . Sinundan ko sya hanggang makarating kami sa dulong building. This was the science building. Pero under renovation pa. 2 years na pero hindi parin matapos tapos. Pambihira. Pati sa school may corrupt. Malamang eh nabulsa na ang budget neto. Tsk.

Now where is he? It's already pass 6 kaya naman medyo madilim na. Ang hirap maglakad dito.

Someone grab me from behind.

" Dont move." He whispered in my ears. Bigla akong kinilabutan.

I saw figures of men running towards us.They are around 10. These guys, who are they?

"If you make any noise,i'll kill you"

My body stiffened for a minute. Nakatingin lang ako sa mga taong nakapaligid samin.

" Gather everyone, we have to leave now."

Isa isa silang nawala. Unti unti ding lumuwag ang pagkakapit nya sa kamay ko na hindi ko napansin mula kanina dahil sa kaba.

" Damn you!" Sabi ko sa kanya saka sya pinaghahampas sa braso.

" Haha stop it. You should've have seen your face."

" Jerk." Iniwan ko sya pero ramdam kong sumunod sya sakin

" Who are they? " He shrugged.

" I don't know pero hindi tayo dapat magpahuli sa kanila. "

This time nauna ng maglakad sakin si Austin. Nakakabahala na ang mga nangyayari sa school na to ng mga nakaraang bwan.

Dumeretso na ako sa dorm. I have to stay here until the end of the school year. My dad can't go home because of his work. And my mom have some business trip. She decided to take part for my grandad's company as requested. It's been a while since she quit on her last job and she have to make herself busy.

About Austin, i barely see him at school. Then one time nakita ko sya sa library. He seems suspicious so i followed him. He went to the main building. Pero nakita kong may mga tao dun kaya hindi na ko tumuloy. They are the same men na nakita namin kanina. I think they're gaurds dahil balita ko mas humigpit na ang security sa school. I have no idea why but i think Austin can help me.

At hindi lang yon,  Victoria and Brandon dropped out.

I also noticed 5 students we're gone. Each every week. I know the counts of student every assembly. Pero walang record ng dropped out. One of them named Devon Grimme. She was the last one na nawawala so far. At first akala ko nagtransfer lang sila or nag-out of town. You know rich kids, they travel a lot eithier business trip or just for leisure. But things went different when i had conversation with her last week before she was gone.

Flashback

Not now! Arrgghh. Ang hirap talaga kapag may monthly 'dalaw' . I'm having cramps now.

Pumasok ako sa isang cubicle para magpalit.

'I think i'm going to be next.'

A girl is intently looking at me habang naghuhugas ako ng kamay.

'Excuse me? Do you need anything? ' i asked her politely. Hindi ko alam kung anong iniisip nya cause she's giving me a dead look.

' I'll be next to them. And many more.' She's looking now at the mirror.

This girl must have psychological  issue.

I grab my things and made my way out. Pero bigla nya akong hinatak.
