-Haxielle-
"It's nothing, thanks for helping me out last night." Sumilay naman ang ngiti sa labi nito.
"Ano ka ba Axel?! Ikaw nga dapat palakpakan ko ng bongga eh. Acting is life ka kasi. Buti nalang sumunod agad yung insan mong unggoy." Masayang sabi nito habang pinapalakpakan ako.
Tch! Everything was already set up.
I can't still believe Uno was Hexton. But still, 50/50 parin because I am not sure.
Biglaang hinila ni Remi kamay ko kaya nakaramdam ako ng unting kirot sa likod.
"Remi! My back!" Reklamo ko dito at tila wala itong narinig.
"Anong my back, my back?! Pasabi-sabi ka pa diyan na it's nothing. Tara na naghihintay na si Kamie." Walang awa ako nitong hinila.
Nadatnan namin si Kamie na naghihintay habang kumakain ng burger.
"Goodmorning Haxielle, we still have 10 mins bago mag-start ung klase..." Paalala nito sa oras at sinundan kami sa paglalakad.
Every students are like honored to see us. Did they knew already we are part of student council?
Haha! May sumagot agad ng tanong ko.
"Hi bitch! Student council ka na ngayon? I was wondering ano kaya ginawa mo? Omo! Did you just flirt with Carter?" Napangiwi ako sa sinabi niya.
"Barbie, that's my cousin." Nandidiring sagot ko dito. I hugged my self as I feel chills run down. Kadiri pre.
Narinig ko naman tumawa si Remi.
"Haha! The hell? Barbie? Haxielle, totoo nga Barbie talaga pangalan niya?" Natatawang sabi ni Remi. Namutla naman si Alexie sa sinabi ni niya.
"S-so what?! Anong problema sa pangalan ko?!" She just slipped it.
I heard others chuckled.
"I think her name is Barbie Dolly Rohan." Maang-mangan kong sabi. Remi just laughed out.
"Haha! Bagay sa kanya! Mukha siyang made in china na barbie. Pekeng-peke yung beauty, oops!" There she goes again teasing out loud.
Sinenyasan ko si Kamie na hilain na si Remi palayo.
We got out from the crowd at pumasok na sa klase. We are almost late because Sir is already at the end opposite aisle papuntang room.
"Yow! Kala ko di na kayo papasok." Bungad ni Elijah. Hindi lang namin ito pinanasin at pumunta na sa silya.
Yumuko lang ako sa lamesa. It still bothers me. Iniisip ko yung misteryosong papel na nakuha ko sa mansion.
Kainis! 'Di nagpoprocess utak ko. Sumilip ako sa bag ko naandoon ang maliit na safe na kailangan ng password. Natanggap ko iyon sa sender ng envelope.
I already tried to enter the written number pero di gumana.
Nagulat nalang ako ng biglang may kumatok sa desk ko.
"Haxielle, ano pa yung ginagawa mo dito?" Tanong ni Remi habang umiinom ng yakult. What? Anong nangyare?
"Akala ko dapat nasa meeting ka ng student council ngayon para sayo?" Tanong nito muli. Wait, anong meeting.
"Wait, Haxielle wag mong sabihin nakalimutan mo? You should be there 15 mins ago. Kakatapos lang ng recess." Nagulat ako sa sinabi ni Kamie.
Wait, ow... okay.
Agad akong nagpaalam sa kanila at naglakad papunta sa office namin. Naglakad lang syempre late na ako eh. Pagkabukas ko lahat sila nakatingin sa akin.
"I thought you won't come, Miss Merdigan?" Malamig na bungad ni President. I just chuckled at umupo sa upuan ko.
Naandoon si Carter sa tabi ko inaayos yung mga funds pang event galing sa estudyante. Himala, walang bungad ah parang 'di ako nakita.
"So we are now here to discuss the rules. For every one of us to keep the school safe. This is for, Miss Merdigan to know and to follow as well. Let's start with Elijah." Turo ni President Ash kay Elijah na naglalaro.
"So Rule no.1 Haxielle, is no ditching or cutting class. Dapat nating idetention pag may nagcucut ng class. Exception na tayo syempre! Hihi." Napataas ako ng kilay doon. That's unfair.
"And Rule no.2 fighting or violent things are forbidden during class hours. We are going to punish them according kung gaano ka laki ang pinsalang nagawa nila." Si Vissy naman ang sumunod.
"Gangs or group are not allowed to rank up during day. It means no murder happens." Lihim akong napasimangot sa sinabi ni Carter.
"And bawal lumabas ng school without permission from us and headmaster. But exempt tayo. Then minor rules like littering." Dugtong ni Hexton.
"K" tanging sagot ko lang.
"Potassium, hehehe." Sabat ni Carter sabay dumikit sa akin na parang unggoy.
"Nag-alala ako sayo, insan." Pinaglaruan niya ung buhok ko habang nakahiga sa hita ko.
"Mukha kayong magjowa. Haha! Pero akin nalang si Haxielle, Carter my bro." Naalala ko sinabi ni Barbie. Wth? Mukha ba talagang magjowa? yuck!
"Ayoko nga! Akin lang si Haxielle!" Parang bata na sabi ni Carter. Tapos niyakap ako. Jusme! Yung sugat bubukas.
"Why so selfish, bro? Haxielle, akin ka nalang. Huhu." Pagmamaka-awa ni Elijah.
"Not interested" Malamig kong sagot dito kaya napasimangot ito.
"Let's dismiss the meeting. I'm getting langgam here." Sabi ni Vissy habang kinakamot yung balat nito.
"Haha! May galis ka ba Vi?" Asar ni Elijah dito. Umirap lang si Vissy at umalis na.
Tumayo na ako at pumunta na sa cafeteria. Naabutan ko doon sila Remi na kumakain.
Umupo kami ng tatlo sa mga pwesto namin.
"Pre, mamaya yung cheerleaders sa gym may practice." Sabi ni Elijah kay Carter. I rolled my eyes again. They are starting.
"Wait! Ano bang problema niyo sa cheerleaders at tambayan niyo yon ng pangboboso niyo?" Nagtatakang tanong ni Remi habang nakamapewang sa kinauupuan.
"Syempre! Fan kami nila hehe. May kanta pa nga si Elijah don eh." Proud na sabi ni Carter. Hala, jusmiyo. Tumayo naman si Elijah at nagsimulang sumayaw na parang may hawak na pompom.
He cleared his throat bago nag simula.
"Elijah is my name! I'm at the top of my babe-" agad kong tinakpan ang tenga ni Kamie na nasa tabi ko. Binatukan naman ni Remi ung dalawa. Binitawan ko narin tenga ni Kamie nung matapos.
"Hehe. Credit sa wafer." Natatawang sabi ni Carter. Sinamaan ko lang ito ng tingin.
Nauna na akong tumayo at nagpaalam sa kanila. Naglalakad ako ng may maramdaman akong sumusunod sa akin. A mirror passed by at may nakita akong isang estudyanteng may hawak na kutsilyo.
Dumeretso ako sa dulo ng aisle sa liblib at hinarap ito.
He maniacally smiled at me playing at his knife.
Wait, anong rule uli diniscuss namin? Nevermind, I wanted to kill this guy though.
Haha! I don't follow freakin' rules!
He dashed over me and gripped my hands on the wall. His knife is near at my skin. Tch! You leave me no choice.
I smiled at him at sinipa ko ito palayo. Nakuha ko ang kutsilyo nito at pinaglaruan. He was sitting on floor crawling backwards with his scared face.
I hummed my creepy music.
He was there shocked nung tinanggal ko ang isa sa contact lens ko. Parang nalumo ito at nahinto nalang sa posisyon nito.
"G-grim."
Napaihi ito kaya natawa ako ng mahina. I smiled at him creepily and lock him at the edge. Bago ko baiwan ito ng buhay I chant my words I usually used. At tuluyan itong sinaksak.
I will count to three and fall in love
to kill...

-Haxielle- I stopped in the middle of the hall way ng makita kong tumatakbo ang Student Council. President's face is filled with seriousness. When they passed through me sumunod ako sa kanila. Nasa tabi ako ni Carter na halatang problemado."What happened, Carter?" Tanong ko dito. Mukhang napansin niya ako kaya bumagal ang paglakad nito.He ruffled his hair bago niya ako sinagot."A freakin' murder happen. Rumors said it's Grim's doing." We stopped at the when we reach the end of hall way.Nice.The man was hunged in the ceiling. Fresh blood is streaming down its open abdomen. I used his blood to paint my mark on the wall.Halos masuka ang ibang kababaihan. Vissy was holding her mouth.Hexton pic
=Ash="Yow, we are being summoned by Master Hector." Elijah showed up with his girl. "Mission na naman?" Reklamo ni Carter."Let's go." I stand up and lead the way. Naabutan namin sila Vissy at Haxielle na nagkwekwentuhan.Nagtama ang mga mata namin and we just exchanged glares. I know this is bad, but I am getting suspicious of her.She's way too mysterious than I expected."What's up kids?" Hector happily greeted us. Haxielle rolled her eyes while Carter is clinging silently in her neck. These two...They are closer than I expected."What's our mission today?" I asked Hector whose in a prince outfit and dancing waltz.He made a turn and handed me the information.
I stare at my reflection in the mirror. My brown wig is covering my silver hair. I put my hazel contact lenses. "Room Cleaning." Kumunot ang noo ko sa taong nasa labas. Pinagbuksan ko ito ng pinto at pumasok. Napasimangot ako ng namukhaan ito. He is wearing a mustache with matching grey color on his hair making him look older."Hector, what do you need?" Huminto ito ng marinig nito ang pangalan. Agad itong tumingin sa akin at ngumiti."Halata ba?" He asked at nagpa-ikot sa kwarto ko. I walk towards the bed at humiga doon.Nang matapos ito mangalikot ay humarap na ito sa akin at nagbigay galang."Milady, your father wants to have a word." He reached me a phone and close every curtains."Lo? What do you want, Dad?" Bungad ko dito. I heard him chuckled and the sound of classic
-Haxielle-"Woah! Mas gumanda na yung Wizzard Kingdom. Axel, samahan mo ako sa Big Top." Yaya ni Remi na nagmumukhang bata. "Wait, what? We are going to ride that monstrous ride? No way." Mabilis na umayaw si Vissy. Remi rolled her eye to Vissy. "Then go to your lame carousel, bitch." Pagtataray ni Remi dito. They exchange their deadly glares at sabay na umirap.These two..."Huy! Doon tayo sa may bilihan ng headband bili." Carter excitedly said at hinila ako papunta doon. Naki-akbay si Elijah sa akin dahilan upang muntikan na akong masubsob."Let's go my brother!" Elijah exclaimed dragging me between them.Save me..
-Haxielle- "That's the thing coconut man. You didn't invite me for a party." I annoyingly said.They all put their guns out at tinapat ito sa akin. I raised my hands up, laughing at the situation. "Hey, hey... I come to take your lives here. Let's start?"I asked. The other guys fire a bullet at me. I move my waist a bit at lumagpas ito sa akin. Boring... I shot my bullet in his abdomen. He immediately back up at napasandal sa kasama nito. "He started it." I pointed out sa lalaking nagdurugo ang ts
-Haxielle-"Lunar eclipse is near. Sabi daw nila eto yung pinakamalapit na makikita natin ngayon." I heard the girl clinging on her best friend said. Ilang beses ko narin naririnig ang bagay na yan.I am sick of hearing that because me. Pinanganak ako mismo sa kalagitnaan nito. Which is I don't know if lucky or not?Pagkapasok ko palang ng room ay agad kong napansin ang nakabusangot na mukha ni Yuki.What happen to him? Umupo ako ng hindi ito pinapansin. Nilingon ko siya and he was still there frowning because of something.
-Haxielle-"Ano ba talaga pakay mo dito, insan?" Tanong nito sa akin. Hindi ako sumagot. Tumayo lang ako at tahimik na tinitignan nito."Nothing, my Dad sent me here because he wanted to," I plainly answered. Mukhang 'di ito nagustuhan sagot ko. But that's the truth. "Then what are you doing dressing up as Grim? You know it's danger for you to do something like that." He knows. Napa-mewang ako sa kanya at sinagot ito. "Then what are you doing as 5th here? Are nuts? Di mo pa sinabi sa akin lahat then we are same. You didn't tell me about 5th and I didn't tell you about Grim. At kung nag-alala ka na baka malaman nila it means you don't trust me,
-Haxielle- "So how did you know the two?" Nagulat si Remi sa biglang sulpot ni Vissy. Carter is there na parang wala lang sa kanya ang nangyayari. Nagkatinginan muna kami ni Remi bago sumagot. "Were friends since kids with Carter." Remi answered. Vissy awed ng malaman niya. "So you guys are kinda like childhood friends. That's so lucky of you!" She clapped in excitement. "Ang swerte naman non. You guys are definitely close since kids." I can hear jealousy in her voice. Hinampas ito ni Vissy at tumawa.
