MR. MORGAN'S POV

The day has arrived in normal rhythm. The sun is up, the school gates are open. I woke up, drove into the school's parking lot and hopped out of my car.

With a formal suit and books carried by my arms, I walk down the pathway in full authority. Like I usually do and as a prominent principal as I am, I always carry my professional posture wherever I go.

"Uy, si Sir Morgan!"

"Good morning, sir!"

"Magandang umaga po, Principal!"

"Principal Morgan, good morning po!"

What a polite students. Habang tinatahak ko ang pathway papuntang building, lahat ng estudyanteng nadadaanan ko ay bumabati sa'kin. I respond with courteous smile or nod.

Mga bata nga naman. Pakitang-tao sa harap ng mga titser at punong-guro, pero mga pasaway naman 'pag walang bantay sa klase. Oh well, who am I to judge? Ganiyan din naman ako no'ng kabataan ko.

As I entered the school's building, I trace the hallway. Kagaya kanina, binati rin ako ng mga estudyanteng narito. Even the janitors and other teachers pay a greetings on me. How I love these people.

By the way, welcome to Arthur's High and yes, I am the principal of this school.

None other than, Mr. Moire Morgan.

Pumasok ako sa'king opisina. The exclusive "Principal's Office". Like a king in his kingdom, this office is my throne room.

Malawak ang silid at malinis. I keep my workplace organized. The floor was waxed, the aircondition is cool. There are sofas and table on the corner, where I entertain my guests.

Also, there are bookshelves with old books, some framed certificates on the wall, sunlight passed through the giant window, and there's my throne... My table and swivel chair.

Nilapag ko sa ibabaw ng table ang mga libro. Then, I was about to sit on my chair but I stopped halfway.

"Huh?" Kumunot ang aking noo.

Nagtataka akong tumayo at naglakad patungo sa pinto ng opisina. Sa gilid ng doorframe, isang misteryosong box ang aking nakita.

The box is an average sized box. It looks totally normal. But what makes it suspicious? Well, wala akong pinapa-deliver na kahit ano sa'king opisina. Wala rin akong kakilalang magpapadala sa'kin ng balik-bayan box. Malayo pa ang birthday ko, so definitely, I can't think of any reason to receive a package like this.

Weird.

Lumuhod ako at pinag-aralan ang exterior ng box. There's no letter nor any sign of where it came from. Mas lalo akong nagtaka.

"Is this a prank?"

Out of curiosity, I opened the box and surprisingly, there's a piece of paper inside it. A literal SMALL piece of paper.

Whomever sent me this box is a fool. I mean, why would the sender sent me an entire box if he (or she) will only put a small paper in it? Is this a joke?!

Kinuha ko 'yung papel, tumayo ako at binasa ito. It's a long letter starting with a phrase... "Dear Moire,".

After reading everything from the letter, which is absolutely shocking, it lasted with a closing remark that shocked me even more...
