CHAPTER 8

NOCTURNAL - YEARBOOK

"Which way to the library, you say?"

"Huh? Ano ka ba? Sasamahan na kita! Manghihiram din naman ako ng libro para sa report ko." Nagsimula nang maglakad si Camille kaya sumunod ako sa kaniya.

The afternoon classes ended already and I've decided to go to the library first to borrow some books for my own report. We each have to pick a novel and write a reflection about it. We are also tasked to identify their characteristics and determine a certain part of the story that captivates us the most.

I wanted to use my books, but it's better to have more references.

Naglalakad kami ni Camille papunta sa kabilang building. Wala pa akong kaalam-alam sa lugar na ito kaya mas mainam ngang sinamahan niya ako sa paghahanap ng library.

Felix isn't here, though. I think he already went home. After the incident, he didn't even talk to me and completely ignored me!

That ghost!

I knew something was off about him. I'm extremely eager to find out how he died and what caused him to passed away at a very young age.

I mean if he died of illness, I'm sure he'll remember it even though he has already forgotten all of his memories. There's this lingering thought inside of my head that keeps saying that he actually died in an accident or he got killed. I don't know. I really want to know.

"Brooke?" I gasped when someone held my hand.

"Huh?!" I looked at Camille and my eyes darted to our now intertwined hands. Her hands are smaller than mine.

"Okay ka lang? Nandito na tayo sa library. Tara, pasok na tayo." Hinila niya ako papasok kaya nagpatiunod na lamang ako.

Naghanap muna kami ng bakanteng mesa bago magsaliksik ng libro para sa sarili naming report. Kaunti na lang ang tao sa loob ng library ngunit halos lahat ay nakatayo sa harapan ng bookshelf at mukhang nangangailangan din ng librong magagamit sa klase.

On my way to the bookshelves, I spotted Aiden entering the library. He's with Vera. I knew it. Those two are friends. Well, they are a prefect match and their attitude sucks.

Rolling my eyes, I discreetly walked towards the next bookshelf. I can't find any good books. I wanted to choose something that will allure my attention. I have read thousands of books and my standard drastically elevates when it comes to the contents and plots of stories.

"Fuck off, dude!" I flinched after hearing a loud voice nearby.

Napalingon ako sa harapan at nakita si Vera na tinutulak si Aiden na mukhang natutuwa pa sa reaksyon niya. Pinagtitinginan na sila ng mga tao sa loob ng library pero mukhang wala yata silang pake sa mundo.

Aiden's laughing while raising his hands acting as if he's surrendering. "Chill, my man. I won't steal her from you. She's all yours." Aiden said and looked at Camille who was quietly sitting on our table.

Tumaas ang kilay ko at ibinalik na sa bookshelf ang hawak kong libro.

I already lost my interest to that book.

"Kayong dalawa, hindi niyo ba alam na nasa library kayo? Bawal mag-ingay dito. Kung hindi kayo magbabasa o manghihiram ng libro, mas mabuting lumabas na lamang kayo." I heard someone said.

Must be the librarian.

"We're aware, Ms. Ramirez. Alright, we're heading out." It was Vera's voice.

Lumingon ako sa direksyon nila at nakita si Aiden na nakatitig sa akin. Nakangisi siya habang bitbit ang kaniyang bag sa isang balikat. Nagmumukha siyang gangster sa itsura niya. Kahit sa malayo ay halatang-halata ang mga butas ng kaniyang tenga. Nakakapagtaka nga at hindi man lang siya nakatatanggap ng reklamo sa Head ng school na ito.
