"Why Katrina… why?" Marianne bravely asked.
"You’re already..alrea~" Iveca couldn't finished her sentence.
"DEAD!!! YES I’m already DEAD..!! and you’re the one to be blamed for this!!!! You made me believe I was your friend. I really thought I was one of you already. TRAITORS! You girls planned everything… You have no mercy…." Katrina told them furiosly.
" Katrina, are you blaming us for that day?" Marianne asked again.
" You are really intelligent Marianne. YES! I AM BLAMING YOU FOR WHAT HAPPENED TO ME THAT DAY!!! I’VE WAITED FOR AN HOUR AT OUR MEETING PLACE! It was my birthday…BUT WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?! You set me up…" Katrina said.
"We were there… We waited for you… It’s just that Marianne got an asthma attack and we brought her to the hospital…." Iveca explained.
" I tried calling you but..." Angel also added but
"BUT WHAT ANGEL?! BUT WHAT?! You let those addicts treat me like a pig… *her tears fell relentlessly* I was afraid… I cried for help… but no one helped me…" Katrina became vulnerable.
" Katrina…." Marianne felt sadness and tears fled on her eyes.
"SO IT’S YOUR TURN TO FEEL THE DREADFULNESS I FELT THAT DAY! So did you have fun?" Katrina smirked.
"It’s today… that day was today… it’s your birthday." Iveca remembered.
" And you didn’t even realized it, Iveca? SEE! You didn’t even remember my birthday… and my death anniversary… huh! How could you say we were friends?" Katrina said.
" I’m sorry… I’m so sorry…" Marianne’s knee weakened as she felt the guilt. She kneeled on the floor. Angel and Iveca also became speechless. All three of them are full of tears.
"Katrina, I know we can’t turn back time but we are sorry…" Angel added.
Iveca got something from her pocket. It’s her coin purse. She opened it and got something inside.
"We didn’t forget you Katrina. We still have this…" Iveca showed Katrina a pink ring. It was their friendship ring.
Angel and Marianne were wearing the rings already. They showed it to her.
"The rings that I…." Katrina was shocked.
"The rings that you are supposed to give us on your birthday. It was found by the police and kept it. We kept it because we love you Katrina. We want to remember you until the end. It’s too late… Everyone is dead already… But I know, it’s never late to say sorry…" Iveca sobbed.
It was the 24th day of November, the day that day that the 23 students should remember their about 24th member. But they didn’t know that their lives would turn upside down with just 24 hours.
