Clementine's POV

Ilang araw na rin ang nakalipas ng pumunta kami sa hospital.Today is monday and I have class so I got up early and get dressed ,pagkatapos nun pumunta na ako sa baba,para mag breakfast but I noticed something is odd. AH! Wala sina na mommy at daddy pala, they went on business trip yesterday. The helpers served the food ,so I eat my breakfast thenafter that I went to school.

TING* Oh! Come on 

Where am I? .....I'm in my class now .

"Everyone get ready we have a test today!" Sabi ng Science Professor namin,. How am i gonna answer this test if I didn't know that we have a test.

"I'll give 1 hour to answer it,if The clock rings ,times up ,you need to passed your paper finished or not finished.Understood ?"  She added , we all nodded .then she give us the test paper.

The test has started.

after 1 our the clock rings

"Times up everybody.Finished or not finished!" sabi niya. The test ended and it's time for lunch.

TING*

At the CAFETERIA

Wow! Why there's a lot of people here? What's going on?

"Hey,Athena. What's going on here? Why it's so crowded?" I whispered at her.

"What?! Don't you know? There's a special menu today, and Chef Rio is here, he's the one serving right now, we should get in line the line is getting longer." Sabi niya at tumango ako sa kanya at sumunod sa kanya.

After we got our lunch we decided to sit near the window glass.

"The science wasn't that hard, right?? You do know that science is one of my favorite subjects, unless you forgot about it. " Athena asked.

"Well, the test is fine. But i didn't know your good at science." Sabi ko at lumaki yung mga mata niya.

"I knew it you forgot about, sana hindi na lang ako nag expect. Hayss, kain nalang tayo kanina pa ako gutom." Sabi niya at natawa ako sa kanya at tinapos na namin ang pagkain namin.

After lunch, wala kaming class dahil may meeting lahat na teachers, vacant yung buong hapon namin.

Lumakad kami ngayon ni Athena palabas ng cafeteria. Nauna siya sa akin habang ako masa likod niya.

"Athena  mauna kana sa classroom, mag iikot ikot lang ako sa campus." Sabi ko at napalingon siya sakin at tumango.

"Oh, sige basta dalhin mo yung phone mo, baka ma kalimutan mo ang daan pabalik ng classroom, tawagan mo lang ako." Paalala niya sakin at ako naman ay tumango.

Paano kaya kung hindi kami naging kaibigan ni Athena? I'm so grateful to have her as my best friend.

We parted are ways, siya pa puntang classroom at ako naman kung saan pumunta. Naalala ko yung nangyari last time sa library. Agad naman akong pumunta don, umaasa na nandun ulit yung libro na kinuha ni Chef Rio.

Pag kapasok ko sobrang tahimik, (of course it's quite what do you expect may mag paparty sa library.) walang tao.

Binati ko muna yung librarian at pagkataoos nun hinanap ko ulit yung section ng comics.

Iniisa-isa kong tiningnan ang title ng mga libro pero wala. Nasa kanya pakaya?

Tiningnan ko yung smartwatch ko at pass lunch na. Lumabas ako ng library at pumunta ulit sa cafeteria.

Wala na masyadong tao, iilan ilan na lang ang kumakain. May nakita ako mga nag se-serve ng pagkain na nililinis yung mga lalagyanan ng pagkain. Nilapitan ko siya.

"Um.. Excuse me po, can I ask where I can find is Chef Rio?" Tanong ko.

"Ah.. Si Sir Rio, nasa Home Economics Room ma'am." Sabi ni ate sinabi rin niya kung saan iyon at tumango ako sakanya at nag pasasalamat. Pagkatapos nun ay umalis ako at pumunta sa Home Economics room.

Kumatok ako sa pinto.

"Come in! " Aniya niya.

Pumasok na  ako, hindi ko maintindihan ang itsura niya mukhang nagulat at may halong inis

"Bakit ka nandito?"

"Gusto ko sanang hiramin yung librong kinuha mo sakin noon nung sa library" Sabi ko

"And I want to asked you, about the whole in the sky. What do you know about it? Dagdag ko.

Hindi siya nagsasalita, hindi niya ba narining.

He keep ignoring me. I looked around the placed until I saw the familiar book on the counter top. Malayo siya sa doon, nasa may lababo siya nag huhugas, so I immediately grab that chance to get the book. He probably heard my footsteps so he turn around and he looked at me in shocked, as I waved the booked at him.

"Ibalik mo yan!" Sigaw niya.

"If you just answered my question chef, hindi ko na sana ito kinuha." Sabi ko

"Fine. Fine. I'll tell you what I know. Just give me the book." Sabi niya.

"I'll give you the book once you told me everything."

"Ok" sabi niya

"This world is The Comic World. You, me, and all of us are character inside the comic book. There are 3 types of setting."

"What do you mean Comic World? What's the 3 settings. I don't believe you"

"Have been experiencing teleportation,memory blank, hearing some weird sounds?" Tanong niya at tumango naman ako. "Those are the things you experience when you are self-aware.It's up to you if you believe me or not ,I'm just answering your question so I could have the book back." 

"First setting, If a character becomes Self-aware they will experience the "Memory Blank".  Sabi niya

"That's why I feel so strange, and sometimes I forget some events." Sabi ko at tumango naman siya.

"Second settings, there is the Shadow and Stage. Once you heard the TING sound your in Stage, there is no action that is not intended by the Author."  Dagdag niya.

 "Third setting ,there are scenes in this world that exist, which was not been drawn by the Author called Shadow .Characters can act freely, but there's a bit difference if your self-aware you'll remember what happen in the shadows , if your not self-aware you won't remember it." He explained. 

"However, our creators / authors do not know what happened in the shadows." Dagdag niya.

" I told you what I know, now can I have the book back?" He asked and I gave it back to him.

"Thank you for telling me.But why is that book so-"

Ang sakit ng ulo ko.

Ano to at bakit nasa hagdagan ako .

"Ok, kalang?"

"Biglang sumakit ang ulo ko tapos may nakita ako."

"That's probably the storyboard , you can see the future , those scenes didn't happen yet but-" Naputol yung sinabi niya ng biglang -

TING* Stage

 Wrong timing na naman. 

Bakit nasa hagdanan kami, anong ginagawa namin dito .Tumatamabay?

Wait parang nakita ko na to .Yung kanina. The storyboard.

Wait, isn't that Sienna?

Sienna is going down the stairs- BIglaang tumunog yung heart monitor ko , nang may dumaan na lalaki. 

I didn't notice that  I step down ,but suddenly someone pushed so I missed a step and fall but I didn't fell on the ground,did someone catch me? Kaninong likod to? 

That's the last thing I remember.
