06: LOCK IN

My name is Trouble, and my last name is Careless. I was born to be evil and they call me DEAD. Well, they really call me Dead. I'm dead serious! Diamond Entlise Arvento Dilleon. DEAD for short. But I cancelled out the Arvento since that's what my dad told me. I entered this school telling Mrs. Beltran that I'm DED. Lol, it's not serious though. I'm not ded, I am Dead. Wait, what's the matter with my name? Well, I think a bitch virus attacks my brain. Tsk.

I don't know why we're here in an elevator. Ang pinakamataas lang naman na building dito ay hanggang seven floor. 'Yun yung main building. Tiningnan ko ang arrow sa taas. Pababa kami. Napakunot naman ang noo ko. It means, there's an underground floor? Wohh! Cool.

A school with underground? They really shitting something.

"Are you thinking some horrible things against us, Entlise?" There! Kalyana with her cold voice. Pinaglihi ata 'to sa sama ng loob. Laging galit. Seryoso. Masungit. Hindi ba siya pwedeng ngumiti? Well, ako rin naman. But I can do fake smiles. Dapat gawin niya rin 'yun.

Fake smiles can hide your pain. Well, that was nonsense thoughts of mine. Kinda bullshits for someone, but it's true.

"Wala naman akong sinasabi, ah?" I innocently said. Well, wala naman talaga.

"I see." She just mumbled.

Wait, pinagdududahan niya ba ko? Anong akala niya may gagawin akong bagay na makakapahamak sa kanila? Tinutukoy niya ba nab aka maulit yung nangyari nung isang araw? Hell no! Hindi ko nga ginawa 'yun eh! Bakit baa yaw maniwala ng Kalyana-ng 'to. What she thinks, what she believes? Goddamn hell.

The door opened and my eyes widened when I saw a dwarf... no, I mean, yeah! It was a dwarf. Sila ata yung nakikita kong maliliit sa statues and designs when the Christmas is near. And far as I know, they're the one who create and wrapped some gifts from Santa Claus then he will be distributed it to the children. You know, a dwarf with their long triangular red hats.

Napahawak ako bigla sa laylayan ng kung sinomang katabi ko nang humakbang siya papunta samin. His looks are not that scary but that makes me feel more scared. Baka mamaya bigla siyang magtransform bilang halimaw.

I heard some chuckles. Napatingin ako sa kanila at nakita kong nakatingin rin sila sakin. Halatang pinipigilan nila ang matawa. Nakita kong nakatingin si Creai sa kamay ko kaya napatingin rin ako. Oh gosh! My eyes widened once again! Agad kong binawi yung kamay kong nakahawak sa laylayan ng polo ni... Oh, pvtchanginako. Kay Prix pa talaga.

"He's a Gnome, Entlise. Don't worry. Hindi 'yan nangangain ng mga babaeng malalakas sumuntok." I glared at Rhodri. Tell me later to punch this man on his perfectly jaw line. I don't care about his jaw anymore. I just want a one punch.

"Come in, Masters." The gnome said.

I still can't believe what I'm seeing now. Is this even real? I mean, this school. Is this real? Then if it is, get me out of here. I don't want these! I just want to feel the warmth of the sun, the wind, the coldness of water, and the paradise of the earth. Not this fantasy thingy.

Lumabas na kami sa lift. Bumungad sakin ang iilang mga bilog na mesa at may pang-apatan na upuan. Madilim dito at tanging ilaw ng chandeliers, lamp at samu't saring mga disenyo ang nagpapaliwanag sa paligid. When I looked at the ceiling, it made me left open-mouthed. The small lights look like the stars from the sky. Ang ganda. As in.

Pumasok kami sa isang sliding door. There was a long rectangular table in the middle of the room. There were 12 chairs. Meron pang dalawang pinto. Hindi ko alam kung ano 'yun dahil umupo na sila kaya ganoon rin ang ginawa ko. Kita mula dito yung ibang kumakain sa labas. Pero ang napapansin ko lang sa kanila ay parang hindi sila mga estudyante sa Sellena.
