Among Us

Four: The New One

"I AM NOT A KILLER. Help me to clear my name, please." Science teacher said.

We are now at the police station of Guagua, where Science teacher is. We brought some foods for our dinner. We decided to bring our foods here so that our colleague will taste a good food.

"Naniniwala naman kayo sa akin, hindi ba?" Our tongues felt stuck when he asked that question.

Hindi nga ba talaga siya ang killer?

Will I trust him?

But the evidences are concrete and they are all pointing him as the killer.

"How can we trust you if the evidence are all pertaining to you Sir? How can we help you if we aren't sure if you are really stating the truth?" I replied because no one tends to. Nakakainis sila. Kapag wala ang Science teacher ay ang tapang nila pero kapag kaharap naman namin siya ay tumitiklop sila.

Na'san na yung prangka pero masiglang PE teacher?

Na'san na yung kakambal niyang laging pinagtatanggol siya?

Where is the bitchy and meany attitude of this girl beside me?

They all vanish.

"I.am.not.the.killer."

"Prove it. Why the heck is your bracelet and fingerprint is there?" I asked.

"I WAS FRAMED UP! Hindi ko rin alam kung bakit nandoon ang mga gamit ko! Huwag mo akong pagbintangan New teacher."

I heaved a sigh.

"Do you know the victim personally?" At last, someone spoke. It is my roommate.

"O-oo. I know her by name. Sh-she was my classmate when I am in high school. Pero maniwala naman kayo sa akin, i didn't kill her. I just know her pero ni hindi ko nga iyon nakakausap at nakakasama."

"Saan mo huling inilagay ang bracelet mo bago mangyari ang patayan? If it is really a frame up, then maybe the killer stole it from you." I said.

Science teacher think of it for a little while, inaalala kung san ba niya ito huling inilagay.

If we know where he put it, maybe we can reduce the suspects and will find the real culprit.

Do not trust anyone.

Yes, I shouldn't trust anyone, even Science teacher. But I wanna help. I want to know the truth.

"If I remember it right, the day we went to PSSU, I went to the faculty room to check it. Kakakain lang namin ni Sir Math teacher noon kaya naman tinawag ako ng tanghalan hehe. Every time I go to restroom, I am removing all my accessories, like watch and my bracelet."

"SINONG KASAMA MO NANG ORAS NA IYON?" PE teacher asked as loud as he can.

"W-why are you shouting Sir?" Science teacher replied.

"Just answer me. Sino?"

"I am alone. That time, ang kakambal ko ay nasa kwarto namin. Ang dalawang babae naman ay magkasama, hindi ko alam kung na'san. Ikaw ay nasa kwarto mo rin. I am alone with bulks of things on your table."

"After you poop, what happened?" I asked bluntly.

They cringed on what I asked. Hindi ba sila tumatae? Sus.

"I forgot about my accessories. I came back to our room. Kinabukasan ay ang relos ko na lamang ang nakita ko. I am looking for my bracelet but it is nowhere, 'yun pala ay nasa bwisit na mamamatay tao na."

The room was filled with silence.

I can't even look on my colleagues' eyes. Maybe, just maybe, there is a traitor or worst, killer in our circle.
