Dark Secrets

C3. A Note

-----------x

“If you keep my secret, this strawberry is yours.” 

No one's POV

The school went crazy to the news of Daniel’s death. A few went paranoid and were allowed to stay in their dorms. Some gone trauma and they went to the nurse. Subalit ang iba ay nanatiling nag-aaral, balisa at nag-aalala.

The teachers forced the students to learn as if nothing happened. They hide the body and cleared the scene. Sila ay umaasa din na ang pampublikong hindi kailanman malalaman kung na ang katawan umiiral na.

Meanwhile, in an unknown dark room, the killers sat facing a laptop. The light from the laptop shone, being the only source of light in the room. He typed few words and grinned by himself.

Done… he pressed the print icon and typed in the copies.

 COPIES: 444

Kinuha niya ang mga kopya at binasa niya ito.

Slowly, his lips form a smiled; impressed by his own work.

 Soon you’ll die…. Soon…

He pressed the ‘off’ button and picked the paper. He took the laptop battery and wire, leaving no evidence behind. He walked towards the door and looked outside.

Line clear….

He closed the door and locked it. He kept the key inside his pocket and walked away.

The Locker Room

Clexane stood in front of her locker. She reached out her hand and unlocked the yellow locker of hers. When she opened the locker door, a black note fell on the floor. 

"A note?" Bulong niya. 

She bent down and picked it up. She flip it, searching for anything strange.

“Ano 'to?” she wondered. She slowly read it. “Hello. I think you know about Daniel’s death.”

 ***

At Dorm 221 (Kheil’s and Clexane’s dorm)

Kheil grabbed the black note. She read it, anxiously. “Well the game has start. And it’s a battle of life and death.”

***

At Dorm 124 (Nathan’s and Alexander’s dorm)

Nathan swallowed his saliva, nervously knowing something was wrong with the note. “One mistake, one death. The only chance for you to survive is...”

 ***

At the library

Alex stared at the note; wondering who sent it. knowing something was very strange, he read it. “Kill and kill and kill until you’re drench in your friends’ blood. Good luck and you might want to keep this hidden.”

 ***

At the sport room

Liam drank half of the bottle and grabbed the note. Without feeling anything suspicious, he read it. “After all, this is a game. Kill or get killed. “

Weird….

Clexane's POV

I walked to my dorm feeling all uneasy and curious about the note. Game start? Kill? One mistake… one death? Is this some kind of a joke?? All the questions were stuck in my head like a bullet stuck on a wall. I wondered if anyone else or everyone received the same note. After all, this is a game…

"Clexane!!! Hoy! Bakit nasa akin 'tong t-shirt mo sa bag ko?” tanong ni Nathan while waving my pink colored shirt in the air. At first, I thought it was just a simple plain pink t-shirt but then I realized that it was my cutest dolphin printed t-shirt. I ran at him while screaming and jumped to grab the shirt. But it was useless. The monster was 20cm taller than me, how can I reach that?

“Give it back!!!! Don’t show it!” sigaw ko at sinubukan kong umakyat sa kanya upang kunin lang ang shirt ko.

“Yaa!! YA! I’m not a tree!!!” he shouted back while he tried to support my back; preventing me from falling.

“OK THEN!! JUST GIVE ME BACK MY T-SHIRT!!” I shouted and, finally, managed to grab it. It’s worth every energy that I used.

Having fun, aye??

Let’s see if your fun time can last long….

“Babo!” (Idiot!) I mumbled and dumped the shirt in my bag.

“Where’s Alex?” he asked, looking around to search for Alex.

“He went to see Mr. Lee for the assignment. Waeyo? You missed him already?” I nudged him with my elbow with a sneaky expression on my face. Nathan glared at me, which was the most scariest glare in the entire world. 

 “Sorry uy!" I apologized with slight bows.

“Yeah. Dapat yan ang ginagawa mo sa'kin. Bow to your master~” he said with a proud voice. I rolled my eyes and entered the class. He followed me from behind like a lost-looking puppy.

“I’m your master~ you better bow to me~~ yesh~” he sang happily. Oh wow… since when did he became my master?

Few minutes later, Alex came in and sat beside me. “Teacher’s on his way!” Alex whispered. Tumango naman ako bilang sagot ko sa kanya at kinuha ko yung textbook ko.

“Good morning class. I hope you had finished all of your homeworks.” sabi ni Mr. Perales. Biology teacher namin. He was wearing his glasses which made him looked so young and well…. handsome.

He asked us to turn to page 124 and a girl suddenly screamed. We all turned to her direction. She was screaming at her textbook. Her face was pale; staring at the textbook with wide terrified eyes.

 “Anong nangyari?” Our teacher walked to the girl named Jessica.

“Hey… are you--- Ah shit!!” Mr. Perales cursed as he took a look at her textbook. I looked at Rio who was sitting near with Jessica.

“Hoy Rio! Anong nangyari? What’s in her textbook?” tanong ko.

“There was a picture of Ren being tortured. It has a red writing behind the picture. Its says…

“Play the game or you’ll die."
