Hahaha!” “Shut up!” Chaotic… “Tara na guys lagot tayo Kay ma’am nanaman neto!” “Yeah yeah” “Let’s go na nga” Annoying… “Tch” “*Car horns* Blythe Carson!” “Uh—yes mom?” – I snapped out nang bigla akong tinawag ni mama “What are you doing staring into space on your first day?” – She said “Nothing…” – I just said “Haist, anyways I have to go to work now, but call me immediately if an emergency comes up, don’t turn off your phone and—” “If things become overwhelming for you or naninibago ka kase baho yung surroundings mo or you ‘see’ some new ‘things’, call me kay?” – She added “…. Don’t worry mom, I’m used to it” – I just said “Blythe, I know how much it affected you more than it affected me as a mother but —please, you don’t have to burden yourself so much” – She said “I thought you were leaving for work now mom” – I looked away “. . . .” “Okay, I’ll go now—have fun sweetie” – Pahabol nya, sorry mom—I’m not here to do that “Hello!” – I flinched “Uhm, You must be the new transfer student right? The principal informed me us about your arrival today! Welcome to St. Celestine Academy, and here! These are some things to get you started with” – A girl wearing complete school uniform suddenly approached me—probably from the student council, and she gave me some sort of list and a brochure of the school I guess? “Enjoy your first day here, for you are now a new member of the Celestians!” – She said and I just nodded “If you need anything just—" “Mn..” – And with that I walked away “A-ah…” ……………… St. Celestine University is a prestigious educational institution renowned for its exceptional academic programs and luxurious campus facilities. Students attend this elite university due to its advanced curriculum, and strict but effective teaching methods—with a reputation for excellence and a commitment to providing a top- notch educational experience. Yeah, it does sounds too grand and elegant for a high school pero its true. Pero para sakin? I don’t think that magnificence and gloriousness are the only thing going on in this school, and I’m not here to have fun and live a storybook- like school life, I’m here to find out the truth—the truth about my sister Bliss, and I transferred mid year into this school just for that. I swear, hahanapin ko kung sino at kung ano ang dahilan nang pagkamatay mo— though It will tricky, but everything starts with a single step—and my first step starts here, in this very school, where the crime occurred “Excuse me!” – I flinched again as a student poked my shoulder What’s up with these people? “Oh my, sorry for startling you” – She said and I just stared at her “A-anyway, I want to ask—do you perhaps know where the ADT building is?” – She asked “Over there” – I pointed, I know because that’s the strand I chose My mother told me STEM would be better choice considering my intelligence, pero kung gusto kong malaman ang lahat ng nangyare kay Bliss, I’ve got to follow her lead, step by step, right into that same class and strand—like diving into her world, retracing every move she did. “Thank you!” – She said and went away “Sigh, I’m late” – I said at lumakad na Bliss’s classroom is in the 2nd floor, Grade 11 – ADT A “Ahahaha!” – Oh? As I was climbing in the stairs, a child ran down carrying a stuffed animal “Who’s kid is—*Flinch*” “*Sinister* Ahaha!” – As I saw it’s hideous and broken face I already knew what it was and I immediately turned away “What a warm welcome…” – I muttered and then hurried to climb up the stairs ……………… I finally reached the classroom and as soon as I stepped into the classroom, all eyes turned to me with stunned and dumbfounded faces—pati yung teacher “…” – Tinitigan ko lang sila at tumingin sa teacher “O-oh! You must be—Blythe right? The new student?” – She said as she approached me “Yes ma’am” – Tumango lang ako “V-very well! Everyone, meet your new classmate, Blythe” – She said She must also be shocked—that I look like Bliss “Is that Bliss!?” “No way!” “She looks like Bliss!” “Who is she!?” “No way, Bliss!?” I guess Bliss kept her promise… “Well, why don’t you um, introduce some things about yourself!” – The teacher said “Sigh..” – I sighed and stepped up front What should I say? “My name is Blythe” – I just said “…..” – They all stared silently at me “I am 17 years old and I love to study and read books” – I said “My full name is Blythe Carson and—I am Bliss Carson’s twin sister” – I said and everyone flinched “What the hell!?” “Bliss had a twin sister!?” “No wonder she looks just like her!” “She’s kidding right!?” “S-shusj! E-everyone quiet and s-settle down!” – The teacher said, she must also be shocked “Blythe, why don’t you go sit um—over there! Right beside Danica” – She said pointing at an empty chair in the third row, first column and by the window— perfect As I was approaching my seat, ramdam na ramdam ko ang sumusunod na mga titig nilang lahat sakin habang nag bubulungan sa isa’t-isa “She really looks like Bliss up close!” “Why is she hear just now?” Sigh..I don’t care anyways, I only plan to achieve one goal, and that is to bring justice to my sister’s death at grumaduate na “A-all right then everyone let’s start, turn your books to page 163!” ……………… Lunch time *Bell rings* “Don’t forget to do your homework at page 173, and pass it to me by tomorrow” – The teacher said And the last subject in the morning is Contemporary Arts—I thought ADT would focus more on the specialized subjects such as Media arts, Visual Arts, Photography, Documentary, Theatre, etc., but I guess not Yes, I memorized all the schedules of each subjects—first subject would be Oral Communication, second subject is Media and Visual Arts, third subject is Music, Dance, and Theatre, the fourth subject is Reading and Writing Skills, and the fifth subject is Contemporary Arts—and here are still four left in the afternoon “Anyways let’s get things started—oh?” – Then I saw an unknown number messaged me
