“You can not escape death: the end always reach you.”

Clexane's POV

I lay on my bed. This time: Kheil sleeping with me on the same bed. Why suddenly these types of murdering even exist in our school? Everything for me doesn’t make any sense. Does this prestigious school have a very dark secret?

Suddenly a text came in…

“Clexane, are you okay? Have you eaten? Sabi kasi ni Kheil na di ka daw kumain. Bakit? I’m in front of your dorm. Open up!”

Oh, si Nathan pala. I turned to take a peep at Kheil. She was fast asleep. Oh, how I hate her ‘caring’ side. I quickly walked to the door and opened it. Nathan was standing there with a tray of a bowl of ramen, tea and some of my favorite snack bars.

“Awww~ you’re so sweet. Come  in… it's dangerous outside.” He quickly entered my room and put the tray on my study table.

“Where’s Alex?” I asked him as he sat down on the chair.

“Him?? He’s asleep…” Nathan simply replied. I nodded while saying ‘oh’.

Nathan pulled out an extra chair from the underneath the table and signaling me to sit there. I smiled and walked to him. 

“What do you think this is all about?” tanong ni Nathan.

“I have no idea…. Even some novels can’t help me figure it out. Di ko na alam ano na ang mangyayari sa'tin dito. Psh!”

“Not even a clue?”

I shook my head. That Chinese boy sighed heavily.

“Mian…” (Sorry) I apologized to him: trying to lessen his stress. He suddenly held my hand and looked me straight at the eyes.

“What ever you do Clexane, please save yourself.” he said. I gasped a little and yanked my hand away.

“Andwae!!! I’m not a selfish jerk Than-than. I don’t want to leave my friend behind… especially when they’re special to me.” I insisted. (Andwae - I don't want to.)

“Okay. I understand.” Nathan looked away. I chuckled a bit to his behavior. He started to act a bit different lately. For a 16 years old boy, he was too…childish. Well, maybe just around me or my imagination.

“Ya! Palli! Eat your food. You know I went to the cafeteria just to take your meal.” He said proudly as he started to feed me. I just smiled and followed the flow.

No One's POV

“Ya, do you think this is the safest way to safe our lives?” Nicole asked her best friend in fear.

“Wag kang mag-alala Nicole. Magtiwala ka lang sa'kin. I’ve been using this path ever since I was 14. Sneaking out to the clubs almost everyday~” her best friend, Megan, said in full confident. Nicole looked at her in disbelief.

“You’re so young that time!!” Nicole whispered. Megan just shrugged her shoulders cooly.

“I already slept with almost 25 boys until now~” dagdag na sabi ni Megan. Umiling naman si Nicole pagkatapos niyang marinig ang mga pahayag ni Megan.
