TRAP BY ILLUSION √ (EDITING)

04

IT'S ALREADY lunch time and Bliss was now walking in the pathway with her unusual grin, she didn't went to the cafeteria and decided to go check some books in the library if what would be the nicest book to read for today. She's not that hungry anyway, infact ay sanay na siyang hindi kumakain ng marami. Habang papunta siya sa library building ay may napansin siya, she paused for a moment and turned her back to see if what's behind her. Ramdam niya kasing may nakasunod sa kanya, and since wala rin naman siyang nakita ay nag patuloy lang ulit siya sa pag lalakad.

While walking silently something got into her mind, "Hmm three men and I'm done for this week." she whispers as excitement began to arose from her system, ibang-iba na naman ang awra niya ngayon-medyo masiyahin na para bang palagi nalang good mood. Pati ang ibang students ay nag tataka sa kanya at mas lalo lamang siyang pinag iinitan.

When she entered the library, she passes by at the counter where the school librarian was located. "Hi, Miss Talia!" she cheerfully greeted but the librarian just raised her brows on her with its usual poker face expression, that made Bliss chuckled after showing her school I.D. Like some of the typical librarian-strikto si Miss Talia, she doesn't entertain the students unlike sa ibang teachers na approachable, she doesn't like noisy kids because it just irritates her, one more thing is that she's still young yet she was acting as if she was on her 40's. Her thick-red lipstick really suit her best-it'll just make her look more strict, maputi siya at kadalasang sinu-suot ay white, then may mahaba at itim siyang buhok na pinu-pusod niya-she was known to be a man hater too, that made Bliss want to befriend her but not in a nice way.

When Bliss finally got her confirmation code, she then roamed around her eyes and was definitely amazed by how huge and classy the library looked like. Matataas ang every book shelves na andito, hanggang 3rd floor ang library and it's really wide, may malalaking glass windows at makakapal na curtains sa tabi-the library was perfectly designed by the school's very own designer, kahit sabihin mo pang ayaw mo mag basa ay kapag nakapasok ka rito talagang matutulala ka sa mangha.

Nag tungo si Bliss sa pinaka-corner kung saan naka locate ang mga books na na-bebelong sa mystery, she was fond of reading mystery genre books as well as horror. Marami na siyang collections sa bahay but she want to explore more, "Nice," napako ang mga mata niya sa isang libro nang mabasa niya ang title nito. "Arts of Death, photography and reasons."

Kaagad na hook ang atensyon niya rito kung kaya ay kinuha niya ito at dinala sa napiling table, maraming bumabagabag sa isipan niya habang binubuklat palang ang libro. The feeling of enthusiasm-her eyes sparked upon seeing the pictures from the book-trying to focus her eyes to the left page wherein a dead bird being pinned in a transparent window glass was displayed. "Artistic," she commented and read the reasons below the photograph.

A bird being displayed by pinning it on the window glass.

Poor little cat got tied up with one missing eye.

A huge bear lying on the ground-stabbed by an axe from its back.

Lahat ng mga litrato at rason na nabasa niya ay tinatak niya lahat sa isipan, an unsual grin again was formed on her lips as she couldn't help herself but to giggled in eagerness-to do something more thrilling? Hmm, maybe.

Sa gitna ng kanyang pagbabasa ay may lumapit sa kanya, "Hi, Bliss! Anong ginagawa mo?" what a stupid question from a beautiful young lady, Bliss diverted her eyes away from what she was reading and focused it to the student in front of her-maganda, may ma-among mukha, morena, at mukhang mabait.

Hmm, pretty but still stupid.

"I assume that you know what I was exactly doing," pag sagot ni Bliss at ibinalik ulit ang atensyon sa binabasa, napangiwi naman ang babaeng lumapit sa kanya.
