Class 12-Honesty

Class 4: The Truth or Fade

Elijah Brown's

Today's start is actually bitchy. It's killing time again for the teachers and for the new students who lie every time. Seriously, it's been how many weeks since class started but they never learned a thing about it.

While waiting, I'm actually staring at the man in front of me right now. Dale.

I can sense that he's a little bit tensed and confused about what's actually going on.

I just can't help but stare at how he bit his lips and close his eyes >////<. I'm being such a gay again. I wonder, what if, this transferee was a gay, maybe I could be his lover. I've been crushing on him since the first time we met. I have to admit that. It's been how many weeks and I'm still attracted to him.

I blushed with the sudden thought of us being lovers making out, doing date nights, cuddling and such.

"Hey! Elijah?" I heard Dale talk to me as I sigh dreamily. Oh shit? I was spacing out AF.

"O-oh why?", I asked as I face him with a polite smile.

" You're next", he said as he pointed out that I was supposed to be the next one to be asked on the line. I blushed a bit as I turn to look that there is no one in front of the door anymore. Well, I guess, most of them disappeared again.

Shit! My concentration was lost because of you!

I sighed deeply as I walk near the door and hear that talkative speaker spoke once again. This speaker irritates me so much. I want to kick the person speaking behind this.

Dale Howard's

I stare at Eli as he spoke smoothly and delicate as possible. God I'm falling. Slowly, he turned his face to look at me and winked.

"You're next Dale", he said as he went inside the classroom.

Okay, my turn now.

I walked near the door and braced myself for the question but then I realized that it's as if I'm preparing for my death.

Tch! As if a simple question would kill me. I grinned as I thought about the thought of how easy would it be to ask me about a simple question.

" Did you make your assignment?"

Ha! What a simple question, just as I thought it would be. I thought to myself as I smile. I was about to say that I made my assignment but I was interrupted by another statement given by the speaker.

"Truth or Fade"

Once again, that cold feeling sent chills to my spine. I paused for a moment and thought about what the voice said. It's really creepy I swear.

Truth or fade? Does that mean you fade when you lie?

I thought to myself..

"Answer Mr.Howard."  The voice said in a commanding tone.

"I-I'm sorry, I didn't do my assignment", I answered with all honesty and as I look down.

" Okay you can go inside now."

I sighed deeply in relief after hearing that I can go inside already. As I stepped inside, I noticed that there are a few pieces of clothing. I bent down just to hear their thoughts awhile ago before they disappear but I was interrupted by my classmate Mikaela.

"Don't get disturbed or bothered by those. It was just the clothes of the students who lied awhile ago." The class president told me while fixing her hair. These people still look normal though even though it's very disturbing to be a part of this class. During the last weeks that I've been here, I noticed how they react about these situations and as far as I can remember, I never saw them flinch or tense about this matter.

"Sit down beside me Dale." Eli said as he smiled against me. Okay, I felt my heart skipped a beat because of that.

I sat down beside Dale and stare at him for a moment. I never thought that I would be given the chance to sit beside him.

"This class has a simple rule students. Don't lie. When you lie, always face the consequences and also you can't tell even one simple lie cause you still might get used to it even though it's a white lie only. Lies kill people, lies break people and lies teaches people that there are always a way out of shits but in a wrong way. So dear students, we hope you understand that this section teaches you to be a trustworthy person. Not only that but it also gives you a clear mind because at the end of the day you didn't lie and your conscience is clean, not to mention... It keeps you alive."  The voice said that made us silent.

I kind of getting the idea now. They are teaching us not to lie even if it's big or not. Even if it's a white lie or a bad lie. They are making us tell the truth but the thing is, why?

I knew that It's not only about giving us a clear mind, clean conscience or it keeps us alive. I know there is something deeper or a wider cause why they're doing this.

4:38 p.m

Class is about to end and I'm still thinking about how students fade when they lie. It's really a question because it's like a mirage. They just fade without a warning and how come that their thought before they fade would voice out of their clothes? I also thought, why do they have to do this although they can just teach us not to lie instead of punishing us by making us fade. It's so cringey.

After a few minutes, I heard a loud scream coming outside and I also heard a news given by the teachers. We became numb after that news...

" Get out of the room right now!! There is a corpse found at the Boys Comfort Room!"
