**********Lyka POV**********

               “Nakakainis!” Ang malakas kong sigaw sa hangin, habang tumutulo ang aking luha.

               I thought they were my friends and all. We always hang out, always laugh together, share things with each other; but look at now, their true colors showed. I was dead! I wanted to tell them, to hurl at them.

              “Mga sinungaling!” Ang tili ko sa loob ng greenhouse sa gitna ng garden.

***********Leon POV**********

                  The  aura of hurt  lingers on the entrance of the academy garden. It’s not long before I found her; inside the green house; on the old Rowan tree on the center of the green house; crouch on the ground; torn and crying. Nakakaawa naman siya, because she trusted them so much that the fall came hard and full impact.

                    Lumapit ako sa tabi niya at naupo. At least in here no one can see me, I can be who I am.

                   “There’s no use in crying. Hindi mo pwedeng baguhin kung sino sila.” Ang panimula kong sabi.

                    “Easy for you, you got some loyal friends!” She retort back.

                   “Friends? Who told you the four of us are friends?” I ask while smiling.

                    “Bakit hindi ba?” Ang tanong niya habang pinupunasan ang kanyang mga luhaang mata.

                    “ Of course not. We, the four us are not friends, we are simply a group, each of us are competitors. The competition keep us intact. Trusted acquatance is what we are, we just kept trusting our own guts, na maybe someday we can beat each other. In their case they want to beat me at any cost.” I kept smiling at her.

                    “But ang nakakainis, they are the people na madalas kong kasama. I just hate it to know the fact na hindi loyal ang feelings nila na ipinakita sa aking during when I was alive.”

                Sasagot pa sana ako ng mag-ring ang phone ko.

                “Yes?” I said as soon as I put in on the answer mode.

                “Nasaan kayo?” Ang tanong ni Atina sa kabilang linya.

                “Greenhouse, sa may garden. Bakit?” Ang tanong ko.

                “Wag kayong aalis diyan, we found out something.” She said and over and out.

                 “Sinong tumawag?” Ang tanong ni Lyka sa akin.

                 “Si Atina, I think they found out something. Dito lang daw tayo at intayin sila, papunta na silang tatlo dito.” Ang sabi ko.

   After a minute or so dumating silang tatlo. Atina was holding a piece of paper, on their face was a confirmation fact.

               “Anong meron?” Taka kong tanong.

               “Nakita ito ni Mrs. Pots na nakaipit sa desk ko kanina. It was not meant for me. It’s an old note, stating something. As I investigate my desk belong no other than the famous missing Lyka.” Atina’s explanation bring confusion on Lyka’s face.

               “Papaano nangyari iyon, hindi APC II ang class ko, APC I. Kung desk ko iyon bakit nasa APC II?” Ang taking tanong ni Lyka sa amin.

                “There’s only one explanation someone switch the desk so your desk will end up on the other class.” Ang analysis ni Brook.

                “Familiar ba ang letter sa iyo Lyka? Do you remember something na pwedeng magexplain sa letter na ito?” Grace asked her.

               “One way to know is to unfold the letter!” I said while carefully unfolding the paper.

   On it was an instruction.

        BFF Lyka,

           Meet me on the water fountain, on the plaza, at exact twelve midnight, today. It’s an emergency, we need to talk!

                                                                                 BFF.

         “Bff, Lyka does this ring a bell?” I ask with total duda on my mind.

        “Hindi ako sure, but the hand written do belong to one person that I new well.” She said looking at the letter closely.

         “Well sino?” Tanong ko.

         “Sa ultimate Best friend ko, kay Sha… sha…” She can’t force out the name.

        “Shanel!” I finish it. “Si shanel who sit ten desk away from me.

Napatango lang si Lyka.

           “Guys, we had our lead on. Just take a closer look to Shanel.” I said, but in the back of my mind I made a mental note.

        *Keep a closer look to Romeo!* I said to myself.

             “Good work, Mrs. Pots and Atina. Lyka it’s a start!”

And she smiled to me dazzling and everything.
