Emily POV

I can't relax since that day. Hindi ako masyadong makapagpasaya kay James since I saw Connor. Masamang tao si Connor mula pa noon. He used to do something bad to me when we are still alive. I still remember. Connor was my close friend

"Emily, look what I did!", Connor said.

"Wow! Amazing! Ang creative mo talaga!"

"Ito na yung ipapasa ko sa Arts natin."

"Gawan mo rin ako."

"Sure. Turuan na rin kita para matuto ka."

Connor and I were close friends and he always do things for me. But six months later....

"Ok. Today will be the announcement of the ranking. Our top 1 is Emily Madison. The top 2 is...................and the top 10 is Connor Delos Reyes."

I tried to approach him after classes but he kept on avoiding me. I don't know why. He should be happy for me. But he is not.

"Connor, what's your problem?"

"Emily. You know what the problem is. I used to be the top 1 of the class always before. But in just one snap, you took it away from me?! I regret it."

"Let me ask you, is it my fault?"

"Yeah! I regret that I helped you. If I didn't help you, you wouldn't be the top 1 of the class, maybe you are just in the top 6."

"What kind of friend are you?! You should be happy for me."

"How am I going to be happy if I am going to be scolded again?!"

"I'm sorry, Connor."

"Bear this in your mind. You are not a friend to me anymore. From now on, you're a foe of mine.", I was shcoked when he said that line. The next day, we learned from his parents that Connor committed suicide. He hung himself. Bruises are found on his body. We don't know if that was a part of his suicide.

I told that story to James and even him was shocked by that story. Kahit sino naman siguro.

"Dahil lang dun?", James asked.

"Siguro dahil di siya sanay nang nasa top 10 lang?"

"Kahit na. Di dapat siya nagpakamatay. What he did is very wrong."

"Just promise me na tutulungan mo ko magtagumpay sa misyon ko na mapahinto na si Cameron sa pambu-bully."

"Ok."

"James, I'm doing this not for my mission, but for you because I love you so much."

"I love you too, Emily. Balang araw, magsasama rin tayo forever."

--- The Next Day ---

Magkasama kami ni James. Lagi naman eh. We went in the room and we approached Cameron.

"Cameron.", James approached.

"What is it?"

"Kung may nagagawa ako sa'yo, please forgive me."

"Wala ka namang kasalanan eh. I think I just have to stop it."

"Bakit ka ba nananakit ng iba?"

"Because my father taught me.", nagulat ako. His father, Ramoncito was responsible of my death.

"What do you mean?"

"Para daw di ako masaktan, I have to hurt others. Pero I think di  na rin kaya ng konsensya ko."

"I can help you in your problem.", James said.

"Thank you and I'm sorry, James.", umalis na kami ni James at pumunta sa seat niya. Malapit na matapos ang misyon ko, malapit ko na ring iwan si James.

--- Night Time ---

James and I searched for evidences about my death. Tinulungan kami ni Cameron, nalaman na rin ni Cameron ang tungkol sa pagkamatay ko. Pumasok kami sa bahay nila ngayon at pumasok sa kwarto ni Ramoncito. Dapat kaming mag-ingat dahil baka magising si Ramoncito.
