CLASSROOM ONE (COMPLETED)

CHAPTER 6

CHAPTER SIX

I was walking when a flying bat flew passed me. It was a toy. Napairap nalang ako nang makitang si Gunsmile yun.

They're playing again. Hindi na sila natahimik.

I roamed my eyes around the hallway only to see creepy posters and decorations everywhere. Happy Halloween!

I was wearing a uniform partnered with some fairy costume---I mean fairy wings and fairy wand.

I was with Puimek earlier pero nagpaiwan din siya sa girls bathroom. She asked me to look for Ciize na kanina pa nawawala.

Speaking of Ciize, nasaan na nga ba yun?

"Sexy!" Off shouted from their table.

I became uncomfortable nang mapagtanto kong ako ang sinabihan niya nun. Fuck, ang manyak talaga.

As usual, he's with their group again. Off and Bright were wearing a vampire costume. Hindi ko maitatanggi na they looked really really handsome. Sayang lang sa ugali.

Win was wearing a prince costume. It suits him very well, though. Prince charming nga ba talaga?

Singto was wearing a doctor costume. He looks awfully handsome.

Arm, however, was wearing a pirate costume. Tay's still wearing his uniform. Nakabusangot ang mukha nito. Mild was wearing---I don't know what you called that but she looks stunning.

Jane and Jan Hae looked sexy with their nurse costumes. Nagbangayan pa sila kanina nang malamang magkapareha sila. Gun as Harry Potter while Newwie is the joker. I couldn't find the others kaya hindi ko pa alam ang costumes nila.

"Ciize!" I shouted when I suddenly saw her talking with Sing. That's when I noticed Sing wasn't wearing any costume too. Naka-uni lang din, just like what I've expected.

"Namtaan! Nanghihingi ako ng ticket sa horror booth. Ayaw ako bigyan ng discount ni Sing." nakapout na sumbong nito sa akin.

I chuckled. Sing looked at us blankly. He's presently holding a notebook.

"Bawal. Wag na kayo maghorror booth. Just enjoy the other booths." Sing said dismissively.

We watched his retreating back and sighed.

"Wag nalang." I told my friend.

Ciize nodded as Puimek appeared in front of us.

"Oh? Bat mo tinanggal?" tanong ko nang makitang naka-uni nalang sya. She was supposed to wear her catwoman costume.

Nagkibit-balikat lang siya sa akin at hindi na sumagot. Seriously?

Ciize was also a fairy like me. We planned it together, though.

Nagikot-ikot nalang kami pero nagpupumilit talaga si Ciize na pumasok ng horror booth.

"Wala nga tayong budget." pagpupumilit ko.

Ang mahal mahal naman kasi ng horror booth! Corrupt ata itong nakaisip nito dito.

Nung una, 100 pesos lang ang isa. Pero ngayon, 500 na! Sino bang mayaman pa ang papasok diyan?

"Balita ko nga si Bright ang head ng club na yan. Nakakainis, limang daan para lang sa takutan?" reklamo ni Ciize.

"I don't understand why you have to enter a horror booth just to scare yourself. Nagbayad ka lang para matakot? Ginagawa mo lang tanga ang sarili mo." Puimek said seriously na nagpatahimik sa aming dalawa.

Ciize raised her eyebrows at me but I shook my head. Maybe, it's that time of the day.

"For a boring person like you, Puimek, you wouldn't really understand the word "thrill"." Ciize shot back as she emphasized the certain word.

Bago pa sila mag-away ay pumagitna na ako.

"Let's visit that booth! Tignan nyo oh, nandun si Gun!" aya ko nang makita ang random booth na pinipilahan ni Gun.

When I saw him, naalala ko na naman kung paano niya vinideohan ang dalawa that day. Anong gagawin niya dun? What for?

"Hoy kayong tatlo!"

Mabilis kaming napalingon kina Mild. She's with Gunsmile and Tay at nakapameywang sya sa gitna.

"Ano yun?" tanong ko.

"Hindi ba kayo papasok ng booth?" taas-kilay na tanong niya sa amin pagkatapos ay inginuso ang horror booth.

"Wala silang pera." Sing answered for us.

Mild's forehead knotted.

"The hell? Are you that poor na? Ang mura-mura lang---"

"Wala silang pera, Mild." Sing cut her off.

Mild rolled her eyes and turned at Gunsmile.

"Call Win now. Ilibre nya ang tatlong to." utos niya na tinanguan naman nung isa.

Tay smirked at us. "Enjoy."

Ciize squealed beside me. Tuwang-tuwa ang gaga.

-----

"Ahhhhhh!"

Napahawak ako sa braso ni Pui, hindi dahil sa takot kundi dahil naitulak ako ni Ciize. Sa aming lahat, sya ang ang pinakamalakas tumili.

Bale walo kaming pumasok rito sa horror booth. Kaming tatlo together with some juniors. Nandito rin si Ohm pero hindi naman kami pinapansin.

I screamed when one creepy doll appeared beside me. Sa takot ay napayakap ako kay Puimek.

"Is this the 'thrill' that you were talking about?" bored na tanong ni Pui habang diretso ang tingin.

Napapahiyang bumitaw naman ako sa kanya at nagpatuloy. When we reached the super dark hallway, everyone gasped when a rope suddenly fall from the ceiling.

Maingay ang tunog na parang may lubid na sumasabit pa sa taas. Maya-maya ay dahan-dahang tumataas muli ang lubid.

"Nakakatakot naman yan!" bulong ni Ciize sa akin.

"What? It's just a rope." tawa ko.

"Ahhhhh!" Ohm shouted and immediately backed away from where he is standing. Napaupo pa ito at takot na takot na tumingin sa harapan.

Nang tignan ang itinuturo niya ay nagsabayan na lahat ng sigaw. Even Puimek backed away, pulling my arms with her.

Mabilis akong namutla nang makita kung ano ang bumababa sa kabilang dulo ng lubid.

Blood was all over her costume.

It's Jan Hae. Dead and hanged.
