Athena’s POV I am here in the cafeteria; I am waiting for the return of Juaqin. He ordered our food earlier. I touched my tummy and smiled. I am so excited to tell Juaqin the great news.A few minutes later, Juaqin returned, and he put the food on the table, and he sat on the vacant chair, “Let’s eat,” he said to me. We started eating, “Babe, I have a surprise for you,” I said that made him smile. “What is it?” He asked me while eating, so I took a deep breath before talking. “I’m pregnant,” I whispered to him, so he stopped eating. I could see on his face that he was shocked. “Really?!” He asked me again. When I nodded, he jumped due to the happiness he felt. I calmed him down because some students were looking at us. Honestly, I felt so embarrassed when t

  Juaqin’s POV   I left Athena’s house while carrying a knife I used to stab her mom, and I rode my car, then I drove it.  While driving it, I suddenly remembered every single detail that happened in my life.    Flashback   When Monica and I were kids, our mom died due to a heart attack after she caught our dad kissing another woman. After that, he took care of us, and he and his other woman married, and they had two kids. They became a happy family, and my sister and I felt excluded from their happiness.   Monica and I lived in a condo unit that mom bought for us. She was 19 years old at that time while I was 18’s. Dad still supported us by giving us money.

Athena’s POV   “It’s Nate,” I admitted to Juaqin, so he stepped backward, which made me cough and allowed me to breathe normally. I needed to tell him the truth to save my child! “I did not tell you the truth because I love you!” I explained, so he sat. He sarcastically laughed, and he angrily punched me on my tummy, “You are all the same!” He angrily said to me, “You all fooled me!” He added. I felt a contraction, and I was shocked when I bled, “No! My child can’t die,” I said while crying; this should not be happening. I was so angry with myself. I could not save my child because I was tied in my chair. Juaqin looked at me angrily, “You’re next!” He said. He was about to stab me using the knife he was holding, but it did not happen when someone shot him on his left hand, which is where he was holding the knife. He screamed, and he let go of the knife, “Mr. Juaqin Dizon, you are under arrest for killing Mrs. Laza

Juaqin’s POV   I am in an abandoned classroom in Emmanuel High School. I just escaped from prison. I am sitting on the broken teacher’s table while holding a Mini Uzi. Right now, I will do what appears to be unthinkable. I must kill students, teachers, and staff of Emmanuel High School. They should also be miserable, just like me. So, I stood up and left the abandoned classroom. Then, I shot every person I saw dead.      Elisa’s POV   While Melody, Sebastian, and I were walking in the hallway, we heard multiple gunshots. So, we ran fast because we were so scared. We did everything to survive. All people I saw were running to save their lives, and when I realized that I was not with Melody and Sebastian anymore, I went to the men’s bathroom and entered one of its cubicles.  I was shocked when I saw Teacher Lelou

Athena’s POV   On this day, Emmanuel High School organized prayer for the victims of the school shooting. I still attended because I feel bad for the people who lost their lives. I am the reason why Juaqin did what he did. School staff arranged chairs and set up a mini stage in front of a building where Juaqin fell. “We gathered today to honor the lives of twenty-three people who died of school shooting yesterday,” the pastor said, who is on the stage, while the survivors of the school shooting, together with their families, were sitting on the chairs arranged in the school field. All people here were holding a flower. Melody and Elisa were sitting on the chairs, arranged in the school field, near the stage while Sebastian and Phoenix were in the middle. Meanwhile, Sage and I were separately in its back.  “Let’s use this moment to pray silently for the people who lost their lives and to stop the viol
