Death Calendar (soon)

2

"Ang cute naman ng pasalubong mo, Gi. Let's go to boracay nalang sometimes." Kirsten said as she looked at the piece of bathing suits, glasses and some delicacies. She cheerfully looked at me releasing her eye smile. That's Kirsten, the sweet innocent girl.

I nodded at her. "By the way, when will we go to the CBS (Central Board Students) office?" I asked her, she's my class secretary while I'm the president. We'll pass some reports regarding our acquaintance party.

She looked at me raising her eyebrow. "Wooshoo. Baka mamayang hapon o bukas pa. Masyado ka namang excited makita si fafa Xian, Misty." She teased me.

I rolled my eyes. Saka naunang umalis ng homeroom. I went to the library and saw Xian there. Ugh.

Dirediretso akong naglakad ignoring him. But that was something impossible.

"Pareng Misty!"

I rolled my eyes and faced him gaving him a questioning look. He tapped the chair beside him and I have no choice but to sit there.

"What?"

"I received traces from Colleen's death." Oh yes, he's Colleen Wang's brother.

"Anong sabi? Sino raw yung pumatay? Is the killer still alive? Coz I'll kill him when I saw him." Gigil na sabi ko.

"Easy, mamaya pa ko makikipagkita sa investigator."

"So what's the point of calling me kung pwede mo namang sabihin bukas?"

He smiled. "To be close to you, Misty."

Nairita ako lalo na nung tumawa siya. Aalis na sana ako nang nagsalita ulit siya.

"The investigator said na baka ito na talaga yung suspect. I wanted to ask you kung gusto mo bang sumama para malaman yung--"

"G, text me nalang."

At tuluyan nakong umalis. But the feeling inside me can't just leave. Finally, I can know who's responsible of Colleen's death. And I'll be the one to end that guy's life, too.

I just fixed some papers sa cashier, as a payment for miscellaneous, hindi kasi yun sakop ng scholarship ko. I'm working at the cashier's office 28 hours a week, tagaayos lang ng mga papeles. I'm always sparing time to look at my phone, expecting Xian's text pero wala parin so I called him instead.

"Hello."

(Yes, Misty? Missed me already?)

"Shut up. When will we meet the investigator?"

(Now na?)

"Then where the fvck are you now?"

(Chill, Mist. I'm on my way to the cashier's office - and oh, I'm already seeing your angry fa---)

Mabilis akong umalis ng office the moment I saw him outside the transparent glass grinning widely at me. "Hot mo, Mist." He even commented but I just rolled my eyes at him.

Nauna na'ko maglakad while he followed me, and like ever he's very noisy. "Kaced Dimalanta is your class VP right?" He asked but I ignored him. "Tingin ko crush ako nun. She's been following me for days pero di ko nalang siya pinapansin. Syempre pag gwapo dapat humble tsaka--"

Mas binilisan ko nalang yung paglalakad ko dahil naiirita rin ako sa kayabangan niya. Colleen's a cheerful girl but not that *mayabang* and she's too humble for her own sake. While Xian? I'm still thinking if he's a legal child.

"The investigator said that, that tragedy is not an accident. Hindi niya masabi through phone yung iba pang details." I heard Xian said.

"So he's saying na sinadya yun? Set up?"
