[Book 3] Mysteries of Jansport High School: The Syntax || WILL BE EDITED

Chapter 2*

*Cody's sub-POV*

"Huh? Hello? Hindi naman ako si June," sabi ko kay Eliza. Nagkukunwari akong parang walang nangyayari sa akin. "Gutom na ba kayo guys?" tanong ni Dan. "Thought you'd never ask," Eliza said. Nag-gallop away na yung white horse. Tumayo na kami. Dire-diretsong naglakad ang dalawa pero ako...

I dropped to my knees. And down on my back. Going crazy. Seeing all these alphanumeric combinations all around me. "Cccccrrrrrooooonnnnniiiii!" distorted voices are calling me. I can't get over myself. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! I was yelling in pain.

Pinikit ko na lang ipikit mga mata ko. Resisting the pain. Curling up in fright. "Cody! Cody!" sigaw nina Daniel at Eliza. I opened my eyes and I was...

*Daniel's POV*

"Cody! Cody!" sinampal-sampal ko na si Cody para magising. Pero wala. Mulat na nga ito pero naging dull gray ang pupils nito. Staring at nothing. Nakita ko naman si Jakov coming our way. Hinawak niya mukha ni Cody sabay concentrate... Concentrate more... and more... until...

"HHHHHHHUUUUUUUUHHHHHH!!!" huminga na si Cody. "I mean seriously, what's wrong with you?" I asked Cody. Tinayo ko na siya. Pero pagkatayo niya ay nawala na si Jakov. "Um, Eliza, have you seen anyone who has gone here and... touched Cody's face?" tanong ko kay Eliza. Umiling si Eliza.

OHMYGOSH. Jakov's a ghost. Pero let the trouble go. "Anyway, anyare sa'yo?" tanong ko ulit kay Cody. "I feel like something's in me, I just don't know what," he said. I looked again at Eliza. Biglang may nagtext. Binasa ko ang nakalagay doon.

You'd better start typing.

Start typing? Kinapa-kapa ko yung papel sa bulsa ko. Nandun pa pala. Tumakbo ako paalis. Iniwan ko yung dalawa.. "Saan ka pupunta?" tanong ni Cody. Pero hindi ko na pinansin si Cody. I don't want him to feel like he's nothing to me. I just want him to feel safe.

Umakyat ako sa computer lab. All the other classes were being held. Third year at fourth year. I was about a foot away at the door of the computer lab. "Oh no you won't," someone said to me. I turned back. BBBZZZZZZZZZ!!! Awch. *bzzz*

*Cody's sub-POV*

Nasa cafeteria kami ni Eliza... nagdedate. Lol. "Like seriously, where's Daniel?" I asked. "Hindi ko alam dun. Bakit kaya laging ganun yun?" tanong ko. Bigla ba naman akong niyakap. Pero kakaiba ang yakap niya sa akin. Warmth. Joy. Love. Yieeee!Kinikilig ako!  <3

"You know... I still love you Cody... simula nung nagkita tayo dun sa underground den," sabi niya sa akin na nakasmile. I hugged her back putting her head down to my shoulder saying, "Aminin ko lang, I kinda like you the first time we met. At sisiguraduhin kong hindi kita panakip-butas." Biglang may dumating na flock of sparrows. Syempre, animal summoner si Eliza, nakakaunderstand yun at nakakareply sa tweets. Get it? Anyway... where were we? Oh yeah. Birds tweeting.

"Um, Cody, Dan's in some kind of situation..." sabi ni Eliza sa akin sabay bitaw sa burger. Tumakbo na kami. At tinuro sa amin ng mga birds ang daan. Paakyat na kami na hagdan nang may tumayo sa hagdan. Hooded assassin. Ohmygosh. It's that guy who trapped me in cables. And injected something in me. (See right photo.)

"No way am I gonna let you get your comrade..." he said. "Oh yeah? You and what army?" I said. I brought out my scythe. And Eliza was summoning a fiery-hot gorilla. "This one..." he said as he jumped off the stairs and faded.
