IT’S NEARING MIDNIGHT, and it’s the exciting thrilling time for them to read the book they bought a while ago.
Gold and Silver's rest house is so voluminous indeed. It’s actually a big ancestral house but because they’re now living in Manila, it became their rest house. The interior design was quite old but still clean. It was obviously has its own caretaker that’s why it was well maintained.
The house have three storeys and ten big bedrooms. Five on the second floor and also five on the third floor. But they all decided to occupy the two master bedrooms on the third floor. One room for boys and one room for girls.
At this moment, they are all in girl's room. Since it has a very spacious space. They all seated on the floor in a circle form.
“Okay then, who will be the first story teller?” Tanong ni Jessie sa kanila.
“Why won’t you be the first one, since you’re already holding the book.” Ziggy suggested with a smirk on his lips.
“May utak pa pala ang bobo?” Saad ni Jessie na halatang naiinis sa iminungkahi nito.
“C’mon Jessie, just read it.” Tristan impatiently said.
“Okay, fine.” Jessie said in defeat.
She opened the book and slowly she read the first page.
ONCE YOU OPEN THE PAGE, YOUR LIFE WILL JUST CLOCK AT 24 HOURS.
That made them laugh.
“Oh! That sounds creepy, right Gold?” Pananakot ni Ziggy sa dalaga.
“Shut the fūck up, Ziggy and let’s just continue reading.” Naiinis na sabi ni Silver sa binata.
“Okay, sorry man! Masyado kang protective sa sister mo. Ganyan ba kapag may kapatid na kambal? Ano kaya pakiramdam ng ganon?” Saad ni Ziggy.
Di siya pinansin ng lahat at nagpatuloy na si Jessie sa pagbabasa.
BE CAREFUL, THE WRITER’S NOW HOLDING YOUR BREATH.
She turned another page.
IF YOU’LL READ, YOU’LL DIE!
Turned another one.

Ako si Precious, o mas kilala sa tawag na Miss S. Namuhay akong nag-iisa dahil simula nung bata pa ako, namatay ang mga magulang ko sa isang aksidente. Wala rin akong nakilalang kahit na isang kamag-anak nung mga panahon na iyon hanggang ngayon kaya natuto akong buhayin ang sarili at hindi umasa sa iba.
Dahil sa katalinuhang aking taglay. Nagawa kong makapag-aral sa tulong ng mga taong nagbibigay ng scholarship para sa mga batang walang kakayanang makapag-aral tulad ko.
Wala akong permanenteng tinutuluyan dahil minsan kapag hindi ko nagagawang makapagbayad ng upahan, kase madalas delay ang ibinibigay sa aking allowance ng aking sponsor ng scholar, pinapalayas na ako ng landlady ng pang-upahan.
Dahil rin dun, kung saan-saang eskwelahan rin ako nakakapasok. Hindi iyon problema dahil maraming gustong magbigay ng scholarship sa akin. Kaya kahit papaano nagpapasalamat ako at nagagawa kong makapag-aral.

Jessie continue to read until she finished reading the five chapters. She handed the book next to Sammy who’s in her right side.
