Let's Play A Mafia Game

Chapter 2: Polices

George

My mind is in chaos-no let me rephrase that everyone's minds is in chaos right now! The principal who's gone crazy and mad was standing at the center of the stage looking so creepy and weird.

There is so much nonsense in this School right now! Who's in the right state of mind would play a mafia game that includes a thousand of students!

"This is making me lose my shit" Benjamin, my best friend whispered beside me. We were all sitting stiff because of the principal. She instructed us to sit this way. What a crazy bitch she is.

"Me too Benj... I'm going crazy right now" I whispered. We have to be careful in communicating, the principal might see us and shoot us dead. I mean she doesn't have a gun but the game itself was dangerous!

I know this game was supposed to be fun and exciting but the way the principal wants it to be played... was scary. She hasn't said anything like that but I know that It will turn out like that.

I always told Benj that I find our principal creepy and weird but he just won't see it the way i see it. But now... that this happened, he finally agreed to what I'm saying.

"What are we gonna do Benj... This is scary" Benj lightly put his hand down to hold my hand. I looked at him without turning my head, he low-key smiled and comfort me.

We hold each others hand tighthly. I closed my eyes for a bit and opened it immediately as soon as everyone turned silent. All the small whispers that i hear a while ago turned silent.

Everyone's head looked at the entrance of the gym. Slowly, we saw a head coming from someone... It's Angela... The most quiet and smartest girl in school. She must be the one that the principal mentioned. She's going to play the host.

This will be the principal's fall back Angela is not absurd and she really is smart. I know for sure that citizens will win.

Sinundan namin ng tingin si Angela hanggang sa maupo siya sa pwesto niya. Halata sa mukang niyang naguguluhan siya at ngayon ko lang siya nakitang nagkaroon ng Ibang ekspresyon ang muka niya dahil lagi lang naman straight ang muka niya.

"Bro mukang nagkamali ng pili yung gago. Masyadong mautak si Angela. Kung ako sakanya gagawin kong mafia si Angela." Sinamaan ko ng tingin si Isaac. Nawala na rin ata sa ulirat tong gagong to at kung ano ano na pinagsasabi.

"Manahimik ka kung ayaw mong mawala ng maaga" John said. Natahimik si Isaac at tumingin na ng diretso.

"So as I was saying... We're gonna play. And it needs a host. I already think of someone that fits that role...its Ms. Angela Fernandes" Pumalakpak ang principal at ang mga teacher. Nakangising nakatingin ang principal habang naglalakad si Angela papuntang stage.

"Bakit kaylangan ako pa yung host? Bakit hindi nalang po ikaw?" Tanong ni Angela sa principal. Yumuko ang principal at tumatawang nag angat ng tingin kay Angela.

"Hmm... Because your smart and I know you won't let me down... " Sabi niya ng tumatawa parin, Baliw.

Inalis na niya ang tingin kay Angela, saamin naman siya ngayon tumingin. "My dear Students... Let's enjoy the game and have fun. Now go to your respective room with your adviser." Pagkasabi niya non ay agad na siyang bumaba ng stage at masayang naglakad papuntang principals office. Sumunod naman sakanya ang ilang teacher na walang advisory class.

Isa isa nang nagsisialisan ang mga estudyante sa gym may mangilan ngilan pa akong nakitang umiiyak.

Gusto ko na ring maiyak dahil sa kabaliwan ng principal namin pero pinigilan ko dahil wala namang mangyayare. Buti sana kung umiyak ako tapos papauwiin na nila ako.

"Aaron" Nagulat ako ng biglang lumitaw sa gilid ko si Ma'am Helen yung adviser namin.

"Bakit po?" Tanong ko.

"Ikaw na ang bahala sa mga kaklase mo mamaya, hindi ako magsstay sa room dahil pagkatapos pumili ni Ms. Fernandes sa room niyo ay aalis na ako." Mahabang sabi ni Ma'am. Tumango ako at napaisip na hindi pala kasama sila Ma'am sa laro.

George

Nakapasok na kami sa room at tahimik na naupo. Hinintay na maupo ni Ma'am belinda ang lahat bago magsalita." Everyone must stay in the classroom and cannot go out without any announcements from the principal. Talk to the class president if you want to pee, the class president will notify us–oh there's allotted time for peeing. And for the food it will be delivered here. That's all, goodluck" As soon as Ma'am belinda was done talking umupo na siya sa upuan niya sa harap at casual na naglaptop.

Madami ang nagbubulungan at umiiyak pero walang talab yon kay Ma'am. Napailing nalang ako tumingin kay benj.

"What are you doing?" I asked him. Nagsusulat kasi siya sa papel.

"I want someone between us to be the police." He said. Nagsulat siya sa maliit na papel ng ' choose a police just between me and George, the others might not make it because they are too occupied with the happenings. Please let the Citizens win'.

He held onto my shoulder and pat my head." We can do it... okay?" I nodded and smiled. I need to think and act rational and brave. I need a survival instinct.

May kumatok sa pinto at sabay kaming na patingin don. My heart started to beat faster, halos yun nalang ang naririnig ko.

"Ms. Fernandes is here... Close your eyes and don't open it until I say so. Get it?" Ma'am opened the door and let Angela in.

Our eyes met and I know there's something in it. I need to trust her. She's not a bad person, I know that.

"Now close your eyes" We closed our eyes and I assumed that Angela is walking now.

My heart beats faster than ever whenever I hear her shoes walking near me. Please read the letter Angela.

"I trust you. Police" She whispered.

"She's done. Open your eyes now and keep quiet" Ma'am Belinda said.

It was me. I was chosen. My hands were trembling and my heart might explode from nervousness.

This is crazy.

Aaron

May kumatok sa pinto at batid kong si Angela na yon. Sana talaga mapagisipan niya nang maayos ang pipiliin niya.

"Close your eyes now and be quite" Ma'am Helen said. Tinanguan niya si Angela. Pumikit kami at nag simula ng magikot sa Angela.

Kinakabahan ako. May parte sakin na gustong maging isang opesyales ng larong ito pero may parte rin sakin ayaw dahil masyadong nakakabaliw ang nangyayare.

Halos puso ko nalang ang marinig ko nang maramdaman kong may tao sa likod ko. Tangina ako ba?

"Police. Please be alert" Bulong niya. Kinilabutan ako at halos masuka sa kaba.

"Okay now open your eyes and keep quiet" Ma'am Helen. Nagkatinginan kami nila Isaac at John.

Tangina ako nga. Mababaliw na ko.
