Chapter 8

Nothing special happened this day, continue lang ang pagrerecruit for new members ng club, I love freshmen's passion para makaenter nitong club. They thought it was all cooking haha! Here in Culinary Club, kami ang naglilinis ng Kitchen, taga-prepare tuwing may occasions sa school, kami din ang unang pumapasok sa building pag may outreach kasi kami yung tagaluto.

Kahit private school ito at may janitor na naglilinis, walang pwedeng makapasok sa 2 rooms dahil nasa moderator at kay Alex yung keys.

I wander my eyes around the school ground, may theatre club na nag aacting sa booth nila. It is their way to show others their passion in acting, marami na din silang members. I wish I have that kind of confidence.

Anyways, I haven't seen Adie yet eh. But, why am I finding him eh busy ako sa club fare. The bell rang, it's lunch finally!

"Lex, una muna ako ha. I'll eat lunch with Leigh and twins eh, okay lang ba?" I asked Alexey, she's not busy naman.

"Sure! Pwedeng sumama? Absent kasi si Yvonne eh...hikhok"

Inayos muna namin ang booth tsaka pumasok sa cafeteria. Hinanap namin sina Leigh at Twins, at ayun! May pa wave wave pa si Rouge.

"Oh, napadito ka Alexey?" Tanong ni Rouge pero binatukan siya ni Leigh. Eto na..

"Malamang kakain siya ng lunch" pataray na sagot ni Leigh "common sense kasi Rouge"

"Problema mo ba, ha?!"

"Matalino ka naman kaso hindi mo ginagamit ang utak mo---ARAY!!"

"Humada ka talaga sakin!"

"Pagpasesyahan mo ang dalawang to Lex"

"Sanay na ako Sof, ano ka ba haha" tumawa nalang kami dahilan kung bakit napatingin silang dalawa sa amin.

"Hahaha...hanggang ngayon talaga, wala paring nagbago sa inyo, mga aso't pusa parin" sabi ni Alexey

Tumayo kami at umorder muna ng makakain. Pag balik namin…

"Ano ba!! Kanina ka pa nang aasar ha!" Leigh

"Ikaw yung nag pasimuno eh" Rouge

"Tama na nga yan! Kanina pa kayong dalawa ha! Nakakainis na"
Nanggigigil na sabi ni Reign.

Eto yung problema sa dalawa, yung asaran napupunta sa away. Tsk!

"Sorry na, hindi ko naman sinasadya eh"

"Sorry din...bati na tayo ha?"

But in the end, babati't babati din sila in just a simple 'sorry'.

"Haaaaay! Tama na nga ang drama niyo! Nakakastress pa naman maging isang student council officer dadagdagan niyo pa!" Pagsasabi ni Jane na bagong dating. "Just kidding! Kain na tayo".

***

Balik na naman kami sa booths after lunchtime para ipa-finalize ang members ng club. Bukas, since dapat one week ang club fare, nag change schedules yung school council. Bukas will be the club meeting together with new officers of the clubs. May sinalihang clubs na din ang bawat students.

Another tiring day! Pagkauwi ko sa bahay ay knockout kaagad ako sa higaan. Hindi pa kami nakapunta ulit sa library since busy kami. My eyes slowly closed at nakatulog ako.

A dream...

A dream I can't explain...

I'm running through the endless hallway of our school...

I saw a bloodied seat with chains and a silhouette of a man...

He's walking towards me like he want something...

Hindi ako makagalaw sa tinatayuan ko, hindi rin makapagsalita. Palapit ng palapit siya sa akin with a grin on his face.

Then everything went blur. Who is he?

Nakagising akong basang basa ng pawis, it was a dream after all. But why it looks so real?

Bumaba muna ako papuntang kusina upang uminom ng tubig and also to calm myself up. Ngayon lang ulit ako nanaginip ng ganito ka weird na tila ba'y may pinapahiwatig. Tinignan ko ang wall clock ng kusina and it's already 4 A.M so I went to my room and took a warm bath.

I wore a jacket and a jogging pants with matching sneakers. I also bring my wallet with me and ride with my bike. Maybe it is time to unwind, just kidding, exercise lang. It's still early, ni wala pang sunrise and all I can see are people who are cycling, jogging and yung mga mula sa public market na bumibili ng pang negosyo o yung nagkakarinderya.

While riding my bike, I felt my stomach rumbling. Gutom. So I went to the nearest 24 hours 7 eleven. I bought almost like a breakfast for me, a noodles, coffee, siopao, hotdog sandwich and a yogurt.

After kong kumain, I went back to our house para mag prepare for school. I took a bath again and change into my school uniform, dala ko ang bag ko at nagpaalam kay Mom.

Naalala ko na club meeting nalang pala yung ganap ngayon.

Dumiretso muna ako sa locker ko to put my things inside. Bigla na naman akong nakaramdam ng chills at parang weird. May naririnig akong sigaw ng taong pilit na lumabas, Padang humihingi nang tulong. There are sounds of chains touching the floor, a wind echoing in an empty room. My vision suddenly became blurry and seems like turning around. I'm out of balance and slowly falling through the cold floor. But someone catch me, I feel a warm arms and as I look up, I saw a manly face yet it's blurred.

I heard him saying.

"Sofia, are you alright?"

"What happened Sofia, answer me----

I can't hear him anymore. I don't know what he's saying. A total sound of silence.

Everything went black...
