Don't dare go out when 12

They say everything happens for a reason. But how do we even know the reason?

One week passed but I still don't get it why Art should be dead. Wala akong kilalang kaaway niya the fact that she is a social-butterfly in our group. Halos lahat kilala niya dahil sa pagiging friendly niya. Hindi kaya dahil sa pagiging friendly niya ay nakahanap siya ng kaaway na hindi pala niya alam? That's absurd!

There is a reason why this happened and thos happened because there is a reason. 

Who killed her? Was it one of our friends? or was it the person I kept seeing in their house?

Avair on the second hand did not go to school this past one week. We barely see her. Everytime we go to their house she would just shut the door at us. I know she is blaming us- especially Alex because of her sister's death.

We decided to bury Art in their backyard leaving no traces of her in their house. We would answer everyone who ask where she is that she was gone to America. No one knew what really happened to her. No one knew except us.

My shoes filled the whole hallway that was covered in silence. No student walking, running and talking. They were all summoned in the Gymnasium. Why am I here walking alone and not in the Gymnasium? I lied that I have head ache. I don't want to listen to the rant of our beloved President of Student Council. Talking about suicidal. Oh forgot to tell you that the girl I saw on the news one week ago was my school mate.

She was in 10th grade in Highschool. How stupid right? Killing herself in such young age.

Anti-bullying. That was all they were talking about in the Gymnasium.

I heaved out a sigh. Society is a hypocrite. I don't need to explain. You already know what I am talking about.

I stopped walking and thinking were should I go. Of course I would not go at the clinic. Hospitals, Infirmary and Clinic sucks. I hate the smell.

While I was walking I saw a woman running towards me and did not even see that I am blocking her way. I was about to move away but she already bumped at me.

"Shit you bitch." She. cursed. at. me.

Her red hair was swaying while she rose up. Her black smokey eyes, red lips and a lip piercing made her more charismatic. But what caught my attention was the crown tattoo on her neck.

Inirapan pa ako nito bago ulit tumakbo. She was not wearing the same uniform as ours. She was wearing civilian. Paano siya nakapasok sa loob? Bawal ang outsiders dito sa Crescent High. Nag over the bakod ba siya? Impossible naman ata yun sa suot niyang black stilettos.

Hindi ko na lamang ito pinansin sa halip ay nagpatuloy na lamang ako sa paglalakad. Shit you bitch too.

"Wait!"

Napalingon ako sa likod at nakita ko ang babaeng may pulang buhok at humahangis papunta sa akin. Ano ang kailangan niya?

"Are you Cristina?" Tanong niya na ikinunot ng noo ko. Who the heck is Cristina?
