Chapter 2: Eye See You
The next morning, Maripi was dropped to school by her mom in her wine red SUV. With a loving kiss and hug, she waved her daughter goodbye as she drove off to work.But then the cheerful smile turned to a tired bagged expression due to lack of sleep from reading her late father's marvelous realism book.
She took a slow and steady pace toward the school's front door entrance, but noticed some of the kids coming in were gossiping. As she went inside, she was surprised to see all the other kids were whispering to each other like a babbling brook. All she could hear were some phrases such as: "have you heard about the...", "I hear the new book is...", "Did that girl really did that?", "Word, and I also heard..." The constant rumors were endless.Blinded by her self-praise, she didn't realize Frida was right in front of her and gave her usual optimistic greeting, along with Manny.
Frida: HEY MARIPI!
Maripi: (surprised): Aaaah
She jumped frantically to the ceiling, clinging like a freaked out scaredy cat.
Maripi: Frida i warned you not to scare me
Frida: Sorry, I couldn't resist.
Maripi: Not really, i meet the ''freaks'' who were bullied by other people
Frida: Word, who can blame ya'? I just heard that the pale man who was similar to Tenome.
Manny: Hey, Maripi, have you heard about a urban legend?
Maripi: (jumps down): No, I just got here
Flashback
Maripi: [seeing the pale man peeping] Uh-oh? Manny Frida
Manny: Maripi what is it
Frida: It's the middle of the night and Everyone's asleep
Maripi: [gasp] Pale Man You're peeping
Manny and Frida: [face-palmed] [sighs] Toddlers?
Flashback ends
Manny: Maripi don't you get it the pale man will get you and chop your......
Then school bell rang, all the kids disappointed of ending their chit-chat so soon and rushed back to their proper home classrooms.
Maripi: Well, that's the bell, let's be on our way, I'm sure we'll talk more about it during lunch.
Manny: Whatever, let's go Frida.
Frida: 'kay, Manny.
Periods later, it was lunch time, Manny and Frida were listening to Maripi telling her early years.
Maripi: Of all the memorable times I had.
Manny: Really, how come?
Maripi: Just to make me and my brother carsick, we upchucked out the back seat windows, leaving a slimy trail of our lost lunch.
Frida: Whoa, Maripi, that was totally gross. You dad must've enjoyed it.
Marpi: You better believe it he did.
Maripi: Aww you two lovebirds are hilarious.
Manny & Frida (unison): Say what?
Maripi: Oh nothing.
The three friends laughed about until Maripi saw a eye.
Maripi: And he said that he'll never peep again?! Pale Man!
Later, Manny, Frida and Maripi laughing after peeping.However,Grandpapi gets mad because his eye was hanging out of his head and wouldn't go back in.
Grandpapi: Maripi it wouldn't go back in Do Something!
