I picked up the two erlenmeyer flasks, mixed and stir it up until it produced something. A chemical I have known for so long.

"This," I said as I looked at my classmates. "is a substance, I have known for years."

Pinaikot ko ang paningin ko sa kanilang lahat at napadako ang paningin ko sa isang lalaking payat na nasa unahan. "Can you smell it?"

Bahagya siyang nagulat ngunit tumango rin naman. Inilagay niya ang kamay niya sa itaas ng erlenmeyer flask, at saka iginaya ang hangin papunta sa kanya gamit ang palad niya. "I-it smells like almonds."

"You're right," I said as I put down the erlenmeyer flasks on the countertop. "This is Potassium Cyanide. A poison. A deadly chemical used by many killers in detective stories and movies. It smells like almonds but it can knock you down the moment you gulped it up."

Inayos ko ang uniporme ko saka naglakad papalapit sa upuan ko. "That's all. Thank you."

Everyone clapped their hands at me. Lahat sila manghang-mangha sa simpleng ginawa ko. Ngayong nakuha ko na ang mga loob nila, they won't suspect me for being the mastermind of the crime that I will do.

They will look up at me like a respectable student who's very fond of learning. A nice façade, isn't it?

"Very well," our professor also slowly clapped his hands at me. "You impressed me. Ganyan dapat ang gayahin niyo, he's a model student you should be looking up to. Look at him, he seems like a quiet man of few words, but once he recited, lahat kayo mamamangha."

Yes, ganyan nga. Praise me more. Make me a good person in their eyes.

Everything's going well according to my plan. Ang kailangan ko na lang is to find a suitable victim for my perfect murder. Who would it be? I don't know.

Chemistry class is already over and wala kaming nakaschedule na klase ngayong hapon dahil wala pa raw umano ang PE teacher namin. It is our vacant time, we can already go back to our houses or roam around the campus.

I picked up my bag, asking myself what should I do, when someone bumped my shoulder. Sino pa nga ba ito? No other than, my "bestfriend", Jia. Hindi ko alam kung paano niya ako natitiis at kung paano ko rin siya natitiis. We're too contrasting and opposite of each other but she still wants to get along with me. Ano kayang pumasok sa isipan niya at gusto niyang kulitin ako palagi?

"Hey, Gradient!" bati niya sa akin habang pinapaikot pa ang nakaponytail niyang buhok sa kamay niya. Everything she does is super annoying, but I can't stop her from doing it. "Wanna go somewhere?"

She excitedly asked me that with those cute eyes of hers. What should I do?

a.) Come with her.
b.) Go home.
