Ashi

When I went back upstairs, I saw Taleigha combing her long, coffee-colored hair. It's her top priority next to clothes.

"I got it," I said. She just smiled at me.

Nagsimula kaming maglakad sa pasilyo. Just like the outlook of the school, the hallway has the vintage vibe as well. The old tiles on the floor creak and groan beneath my feet.

"Wow. Walking here feels like I've been transported back in time to a bygone era," biro ni Taleigha.

Palihim akong napangisi.

Kumapit ako sa braso nito. "I agree," I said nodding my head. Nakatingin lang ito sa akin na nanlalaki ang mga mata.

"What's gotten into you? Ayaw mo ang kinakapitan, ngayon ikaw ang kumakapit?" Hindi ito makapaniwala.

"Well, I can hear the whispers and echoes of bygone conversations from past students who once traversed these halls-"

"AH! Stop it, Ashi!" She squeaked in fear. Pinagtawanan ko ito. Kahit kailan talaga ay nerbyosa at matatakutin ito.

Ilan tuloy sa mga estudyante ay napatingin sa amin mula sa bintana ng kanilang silid. It's not just a gaze, but a tiger's glare, as if they've been disturbed.

I started going through each room's numbers above the classroom, looking for room 213, which is the one we're supposed to be in.

"Ano'ng sabi ni Vex?" bigla naman niyang tanong.

Natigilan ako at hinarap ito. Taleigha blinked several times, confused why I suddenly stop.

"Just do what I say. If you find him, make sure you'll get rid of him, because if you don't... I'll do it myself."

I stare at her with a straight face. If I tell her what I heard, she'll either laugh at me or get scared. She'll probably going to make a scene at Holton University later and begged the dean there to get us back which is impossible. I've had enough lately and I don't want to be at it again.

However, I don't want to stay here with that dean and its dark-glowing aura that babbles much about rules and punishment. I just have to think a way. A way that slender man will decide to return us to HU.

"What's wrong, Ashi?" Kumurba sa pag-aalala ang kaniyang noo.

"Wala. Well, I heard something-"

"Hi! Kayo ba ang mga bagong estudyante?" An unfamiliar voice interrupted me while I was about to talk. Agad naman naming nilingon iyon ni Taleigha. "My name is Aetna Vandor." Ngumiti ito ng malapad, showing us her white and healthy teeth. Manipis ang kayumanggi nitong buhok, matangkad at balingkinitan ang katawan.
