"The International RL Technologies had ceased its operation just after celebrating its 25 years in the software industry. CEO Mr. Ralfh Lestrade still hasn't said anything about its sudden shutdown. Rumors said that a certain virus has strucked the company.."

He heard a sudden ring from his phone so he stood up to answer it.

"Hello?"

"Job well done, Moriarty."

"Tss.. that's really a piece of cake sir," he confidently answered.

"Haha that's the reason why I chose you to do this! Anyway, you may cool down for now, I've already deposited the money in your account, I'll contact you if there's a new project."

"Okay."

He shut his phone off and returned his gaze on the television.

"Another toy has been destroyed. I have to look for new toys to entertain my brain and my power. I am Moriarty, no one can ever stop me."

An evil smile has formed in his lips as he drunk from the glass of wine he's holding.

"Eucliddddddddddddd!!!!" Agad na sigaw nito pagkapasok pa lang ng classroom. Hindi ba namimili ng lugar ang pagiging childish niya?  Tumatakbo pa siyang lumapit sa'kin. Pinagtitinginan tuloy siya ng mga classmates namin.

"What?" I looked at her with boredom.

"May naiwan ba ko sa kotse mo kagabi? Nawawala yung notebook ko! Yung notebook ko!" Sumisigaw pa rin nitong sabi. Sakit sa tenga! Next time that I'll be talking to her, I'll make sure to put on ear plugs.

"Tsk! Kumalma ka nga! Kung makareact ka diyan parang buhay mo nawala ahh!" I told her with an annoyed face.

"Ihhh!!! Diary ko yun! D-I-A-R-Y!!!"

Inabot ko sa kanya yung notebook nang tumigil na siya. Ang aga-aga nabubulabog niya ang mundo ko.

"B-binasa mo ba 'to?" Kinakabahan niya pang tanong.

"Hindi."

"Sure?"

"Oo."

"Hindi mo talaga binasa?"

"Hindi nga!!"

"Bakit hindi?" Nakapout pa nitong tanong.

"Hah?" Ang gulo ng babaeng 'to!

"Hindi ka man lang nacurious?"

"I don't want to invade someone's privacy," sabi ko sa kanya at saka sumandal sa inuupuan ko.

"Ahh.. okay.." parang disappointed niya pang sabi. Umupo na siya sa tabi ko at nakapangalumbabang bumuntung-hininga.

Problema nito?

"You saw my I.D's?" Hindi nakatingin sa'king tanong niya.

"Yeah."

"Hmm...," nakangiti niyang sabi. Bipolar talaga tsk. So tama yung hinala ko na sinadya niyang iwan yung mga I.Ds niya para malaman ko ang identity niya. Pumasok na yung prof namin kaya hindi ko na siya pinansin.

Nakinig na lang muna ako sa boring na lecture ng professor namin hanggang sa maubos ang tatlong oras.

"Okay class dismissed!"

Tumayo na ako't inayos ang mga gamit ko. Ang daming binigay na assignments nung prof namin kainis! I need to go to the library!

"Tara Euclid!"
