Office of the Academy President

Sam POV

I'm itching to go to the Office of the Academy President. Hindi na ako mapakali. Gusto ko ng matapos kaagad ang klase. I'm super worried about Kheara. And if Xiara is right, which I hope she is, that the President was the last one with Kheara before she's gone missing then sigurado akong alam niya kung nasaan si Kheara.

Finally natapos na rin ang klase. Dali dali kong niligpit ang mga gamit ko para makaalis na.

"If anything will happen, call me. Okay?" I look at Drake who's eyeing me worriedly.

"How can she call if something has already happened?" Xiara said who's now standing beside me.

"What exactly will happen?" Carly said looking at Xiara pero nag kibit balikat lang siya.

"Stop being paranoid." sabi ko at lumakad na palabas ng classroom.

"Says the one who's thinking Kheara is missing." sabi ni Drake na nasa likod ko.

"Is she even missing?" tanong ni Xiara nang nasa labas na kami ng classroom.

"Okay people! Walang mangyayaring masama sa inyo." sabi ni Freddie trying to lighten up the mood. "Ganito nalang, Babe call me after 30 minutes or after niyo kausapin ang President. After 30 minutes kung hindi ka pa tumatawag, pupuntahan na namin kayo." bilin niya kay Carly.

"Fill us in, okay? Una na kami. Tara Vonn." Brix said.

"Ingat kayo." dagdag ni Yvonne at sumabay na sa pag lalakad kay Brix dahil may meeting daw sila.

"Hey!" napatingin kami kay Blake na kararating lang. "Mag ingat kayo, okay?" sabi niya habang nakatingin kay Xiara.

"Let's go." sabi ko lumakad na sa dereksyon papuntang Faculty Area. Sumunod naman sakin si Carly at Xiara.

"Are you really sure na ang Academy President at si Kheara ang nakita mo that day?" tanong ni Carly kay Xiara who's now walking beside me.

"Yeah. When I saw Kheara in the class picture she seemed familiar and when I saw the Academy President I got the feeling that I already saw him somewhere. I keep thinking about it kasi hindi ako mapakali and I remembered." paliwanag ni Xiara.

"When you saw them, were they talking or something?" tanong ko sa kanya.

"They were talking while making their way to the gate." sagot niya.

After that wala ng nag salita sa amin.

Andito na kami sa labas ng Office of the Academy President.

"I don't like it here." reklamo ni Carly at kumatok si Xiara sa pintuan at binuksan ito.

Pumasok kaming tatlo at tumambad samin ang plain white na opisina. The lights are off and the only source of light was from the windows but the gray curtains are causing the room to be dim. We made our way to the table kung saan may babaeng nakaharap sa computer niya. Napatingin siya samin nung napansin na niya kami.

"Hi students. What can I do for you?" I think she's the President's Secretary.

"Hi. We're just wondering kung pwede ba naming makausap ang Academy President?" sabi ko sa kanya.

"Do you have any appointment with him?" tanong niya habang tinitignan kami isa-isa.

"No but it's an emergency. We just want to ask him something." sagot ko.
