IVELA | 134

This will be narrated in Bowe's point of view.

One more entry.

That was my plan before I reveal myself. Ivela had been a pain in the ass for me. For a year, I can't stop myself from finding out which secrets each of my schoolmates hides. It kills me.

Today is another day without Moris. She needs space for herself. It only gives more confusion when you're currently having a breakdown and there's someone beside you. It doesn't always work for a lot of people.

I woke up and my phone is dead. Nakalimutan ko yata isaksak kagabi. I charged it first while I get myself ready for school.

Lujian came 15 minutes before our classes started. Araw-araw niya akong sinusundo. Kahit na sinabi ko na kaya ko namang pumunta at umuwi ng solo ay hindi pa rin niya tinitigil. I found him sweet for doing this.

Ten minutes before our class started, we walked towards our school. Hindi naman iyon ganon kalayo. Kaya lang naman inabot kami ng limang minuto dahil hindi pa ako handa nang dumating si Lujian. Kinailangan ko pang magmadali.

While we're walking, we had a conversation about random things. I find it amusing how I can suddenly think of something to say when we both go awkwardly silent. I guess I don't want to let the conversation die.

I resurrect dead convos.

One class before recess when I remembered that I left my phone charging. Papatayin ako ni Mae kapag nalaman niya na hindi ko dala ang phone ko.

I borrowed Kim's phone and contacted Ate Guin. I'm glad that she'll be here in five minutes.

Sobrang ingay ng classroom kasi 'di dumating ang current teacher namin. After four minutes, tumawag si Ate Guin sa cellphone ni Kim, saying na she's already here.

I was about to fetch my phone when suddenly one new notification caught my attention.

An Ivela entry with my name on it?

Matagal-tagal ko nang alam na may nag-hack ng Ivela at ang ibang entries ay siya ang nagsulat. Kilala ko kung sino. Pero wala akong balak na gawin sa kaniya--noon.

Pagkatapos kong basahin ang entry, I gave back Kim's phone. Eksakto namang dumating si Ate Guin sa classroom.

"The guards let me in. The guard said that it's almost recess break and the students will create a chaos. Here's your phone"

"Thank you" I smiled at her. She said her goodbye and left.

Humarap ako sa klase para sana pumasok na. Kaso lahat ng mata ay nakatingin sa akin.

They have already read it.

Mabilis akong pumasok at kinuha ang bag ko. Lumabas ako ng classroom at kasabay naman ng pagtunog ng bell na hudyat na recess na.

Sumabay ako sa dagat na estudyante na nagugutom na.

I led myself to the place where no one knows. The place where the outsider entered the school premises.

Puro puno at halaman ang nakapaligid. Walang masyadong pumupunta sa kagubatan'g parte ng Enfermer Academy kasi ang sabi-sabi ay may mga kakaibang nilalang daw dito.

Kahit na may fence sa dulo, hindi naman iyon electrocuted kaya hindi pa ako mamatay. Sumampa ako doon kaya nakakabas ako ng campus.

Once I got out of the school premises, I took the spare clothes out of my bag. I usually have a spare jeans and t-shirt in my bag, just in case something happened to my uniform.

As I was changing my clothes, I chatted Moris, saying I need my laptop now. Three weeks na yata nasa kaniya iyon.

I have no more time to waste. I ran towards Moris house.
