[align=center][color=black][b]CHAPTER 1[/b][/color] [font=Verdana]I gathered my things in my bag. I’m going home today earlier than I expected. Our teachers are called for an unexpected meeting. Though I was asked to be a substitute teacher for the day, I already finished it, too. Besides, those were just kids anyway. Maybe they’re all gone home now. By the way, I'm Mickey Tao. A senior college student taking up Pedia-Surgeon slash Multimedia Arts at Shellacian Universal School. I took the first one because I love kids so much, while the reason for the second one was my two bestfriends. I want to spend more time with them. There is nothing special within me. Well, that's what I highly think of myself. But to others, that's a different story. They see me as gifted, the best among the rest student. Being an straight A student, not to brag, is sure NO FUN at all. A lot of people expect too much of you as if you are perfect or something. It is so tiring knowing that but I don't have any choice with that matter, do I? [color=yellow]“You’re heading off already, Mickey?”[/color] It was Ropy, one of my best friends. [color=red]“Yeah… I don’t have any other thing to do here. How about the two of you?”[/color] Harrow, my other best friend, was there too. She just arrived from America and now was enrolled here in our school. [color=yellow]“We have a practice and I have to be there…”[/color] Tiningnan niya ang wrist watch niya. [color=yellow]“Now.”[/color] [color=pink]“Ahia asked me to help George manage the team. He’s going to introduce me today.” Harrow said.[/color] [color=red]“You two are not so busy, eh? I guess we’ll just see each other tomorrow.”[/color] [color=yellow]“I’m afraid you were right on that one.”[/color] [color=pink]“We are going now, Mickey. Take care, okay?”[/color] They kissed me on the cheeks. I bid them goodbye. [color=red]“I see you two…”[/color] [color=yellow]“Yeah…[/color] [color=pink]Bye!”[/color] I started walking again. Ewan ko ba kung totoo o paranoid lang ako. Feeling ko kasi, parang may sumusunod sakin pero kapag lumilingon naman ako, wala namang tao. Tahimik na rin naman ang buong school kasi nakauwi na lahat ng mga bata at on-going naman ang ibang klase sa college department. Marami na akong naririnig na mga rumors tungkol sa pagkakaroon ng mga multo dito sa school namin. Hindi ko naman pinagpapapasin ang mga usap-usapan na yun at madalas tinatawanan ko pa. Pero ngayon, parang gusto ko na ring maniwala at ang masama pa, mukhang makikisali na rin ako sa pagkwe-kwento ng kababalaghan. Binilisan ko pa lalo ang paglalakad ko at naramdaman kong hinabol na ako ng multo. Kaya ayon… Walang lingon na tumakbo ako ng mabilis. Nakita ko na paparating na ang sundo ko. Dahil natatakot akong makakita ng multo at sobrang kinakabahan na ako, hindi ko pa rin tinitingnan ang likod ko kahit alam kong may nakatayo na doon. Nang tatakbo na sana ako kasi nanginginig na talaga ako sa takot, saka naman ako pinigilan at hinawakan sa braso ng multo. [color=red]“Waaaahhhh-------------!!!”[/color] Multo! Multo! Nasa tabi ko at hinahawakan pa ako ng multo! HELP MEEEEEEEEEEEE!!![/align]
