The Kismet We Never Meant

Introduction

5 years ago...

"Kyllie where the hell are you?" I whispered between my breaths, habang tinitipa nang ilang ulit ang numero niya sa aking telepono. Kanina pa ako tumatawag pero lahat nang iyon napupunta lang sa voice mail. She's being a pussy now huh?

Ang usapan kasi 3'o clock magkikita kami sa harap ng Gymnasium para sa ghost haunting research namin, pero quarter to 4 na wala pa ring Kyllie na dumadating. Kinakabahan na ako na baka hindi na siyadumating at kailanganin kong gawin itong mag-isa.

Luminga-linga ako sa paligid at baka sakaling makita ko siya o kahit sinong kakilala ko na pwede kong makasama dahil hindi na ako pwdeng umatras pa. Next week na ang pasahan nito and I won't put at risk our FINALS just because I'm being pussy like Kyllie.

I dialed her number for the last time, hoping that she would finally answer because if not I would definitely kill her.

But Bullshit! I heard that freaking female voice again saying she's out of coverage. I don't give a damn about voice mailing, God! I bit my lips, and almost threw my phone because of frustration. Paano na 'to?

I peeked inside the Gymnasium and saw nothing but darkness. Kaya ko ba to? Paano kung multuhin talaga ako at hindi na makalabas ng buhay? God! I'll kill Kyllie in afterlife I swear.

Bumuntong hininga ako at nagbanat ng buto, tumakbo ng ilang ikot sa kinakatayuan ko, at higit sa lahat humingi ng gabay sa Panginoon. 

Please Lord, I'm not really kind so please don't take me that early. I need to see Myungsoo before I die, and I still need to pull out of Kyllie's hair for leaving me here, so please don't take me now.

*****

I opened the door and almost shierk because of its creepy sound. Really? This doesn't sound so creepy when it's P.E time.

Huminga ako ng malalim at agad kong hinanap kung nasaan anglocker room.Ayon kasi sa nachismis namin ni Kyllie, meron daw di umano nagpapakita at umiiyak na binatang lalaki sa locker room tuwing sasapit ang hapon.

 Ang sabi-sabi, noon daw kasi lagi siyang napagdidiskitahan ng mga lalaki sa kanilang klase, at sa tuwing nangyayari iyon sa Gymnasium ito nagtatago't umiiyak. Ngunit isang araw natagpuan na lang nilang patay ang katawan nito at ayon sa mga eksperto 5pm siya nagpakamatay gamit ang isang piraso ng basag na salamin.

"Okay," I whispered, trying to control my breathing and myself. 

Hindi ko inakala na darating ang araw na maglalakad ako sa dilim mag-isa, at isang telepono lang ang sandata. This is mental, bloody mental.

My hands trembled as I hold my phone in front of me to serve as my light to this freaking darkness. I tried walking even though my knees feels like jelly, and looked around wishing to see to nothing but sport things and nothing more. God, I don't want to die because of heart attack. Please naman wala naman sana---

"Ouph--" I covered my mouth to prevent a shrill of voice coming out of my mouth.

Shit! Shit! Shit! So-someone is so-sobbing while singing from the lockers. Oh My God! I'm not hearing this shit, I'm not going to look for who the hell he is or how he bloody look like because I'm freaking out of this god-forsaken place. No more ghost haunting for me and bye-bye Finals.

Shit my finals, no our finals.

I let out a silent whimper and close my eyes shut for a moment. I need to be freaking brave for our finals. God, why did we even pursue this topic in the first place? Damn Kyllie for choosing this shit, damn her for leaving me here and damn that guy who can't bloody walk to the light.

I wipe off my tears away from my cheeks, pressed my palm hard against my face and let out a one big blow of air. I can bloody do this! Be brave Scarlet! Be brave!

I walk my way in the lockers, eyes fixed to the floor. Trying to shut the whimpering, sobbing, and sad voice from who ever that guy is. I'm just doing this hell for my finals, yeah for a bloody A+ for sure.

One step closer and here I am. Just one more step and I will see ho---

"What the hell are you doing here?" I voice came out of nowhere and my eyes jerked to look in front of me. My eyes widen at the sight of a guy standing, wearing the same uniform as the guys in this school, eyes blood shot from crying and he's bloody handsome.

All my muscles tensed at the same time loose all of its strength. All my things dropped on the floor and the only thing I have left is my phone still peering its light in front of this man who I supposed is the ghost, Moaning Baron. Shit!

"I said what are you doing here?" His voice louder, making me jumped back to the hell reality I am in.

I gathered all the strength I have left, tighten my leg muscles and ready myself from the bloody run. I won't let him take my soul, scaredy ghost.

"Ahhhh!'" I started running, not caring where the hell my feet are taking me. I just taut the phone I am holding in front of me to find where the freaking exit is. Seeing the Moaning Baron up close is much more than an A+, but being chased by Moaning Baron is an F for Rowling's sake.

"Back off! Ahhh!" I shouted and blocked his way with the cart full of basketballs. Oh my God! I didn't imagine doing this kind of things because a ghost is chasing me.

"Hey! You--" I shut the door hard in his face and ran the hell out of there.

I won't freaking do that again, no more ghost haunting. No more horrors and terrors, and no more freaking Gymnasium.

I breathe in and out when I got far away from that place. God, thank you for letting me live, I will use this life more wisely now.

Umupo ako sa damuhan at pumikit nang makahinga na ng maayos nang bigla kong maalala ang mga gamit ko. Hinawakan ko ang balikat ko, tiningnan ang dalawa kong kamay at luminga sa paligid, no please.

I freaking left my backpack in there, oh no. My Strawberry.
