The Reaper I

MAVIRIL

I just followed the girl walking in front of me. She is walking and jumping like a kid. It is like I met a human doll. She is cute but also strange like the old woman in the apartment. I don't know if all residents in Solast are like this; strange and weird. But I can still talk to them properly sometimes. It is just the words escaping from their mouths are sometimes meaningful that will leave you clueless.

Most of the students here are very quiet. But I saw group of guys (that looks like a gang) bullying other students that they thought are weak. Bullies can't be really avoided sometimes. But if I will look them, they're like already used to that kind of treatment from those bullies. Why are they letting themselves be underestimated by those bullies if they just can fight, anyway?

Nang makarating na kami ng opisina ng punong guro, kumatok ng ilang beses ang babaeng nakilala ko lamang kanina na mas kilala bilang sekretarya ng eskuwelahan na ito.

"Come in." Nang marinig namin ang boses ng isang lalaki, hinawakan na ng babae ang busol at pinihit ito. Itinulak niya ang pintuan upang kami ay makapasok sa loob. Isang lalaki ang napatingin sa amin pagkatapos niyang mailapag nang maayos ang mga papeles sa gilid ng kaniyang lamesa.

"Mister Deviline, new transfer student from Prim High." How did she know that I'm studying in Prim High before? Is she a former student there before? If she knew that I'm studying in Prim High before, that means she knows something—she knows the issue in that school. Mostly the incident four months ago.

The girl who looks like a doll winked at me while playing her short brown hair. Her hair is curled down and she has bangs.

"Documents, Miss," director uttered. Muntikan na akong mataranta dahil sa kakaisip ko sa babaeng kasama ko ngayon. Inabot ko sa kaniya ang mga dokumento sa paglipat ko rito sa eskuwelahan.

"Will you mind if I asked the reason why you got seventy percent at last semester of your grade, Miss Quivem?" he asked curiously. He is still checking my other documents. Well, grades are included in documents so he definitely saw my grades. He didn't judge my final grade. He is just curious like a father.

I simply scratched my right cheek. I could feel my heart racing like bomb will explode within few seconds. My hands are cold and I couldn't feel my skin because of my nervous. The girl with me just giggled. I don't know her intentions but I have bad feeling to that girl.

"The reason is too personal, Director." Dahil lang naman bumagsak ang grado ko sa huling buwan ng grado dahil sa nangyari. Inilipat ako sa kabilang seksyon at nawala ako sa sarili ko. Hindi ko magawang pag-aralan ang mga leksyon dahil sa nangyari. Walang lumapit sa akin pagkatapos ang aksidenteng iyon. Sinabihan pa akong sumpa sa mga tao.

Siguro nga hindi ako suwerte sa pakikipagkaibigan.

He amusingly looked at me. "Oh, ganoon ba. Pasensiya ka na, ihja. Napatanong lang naman ako dahil may tiyansa ka pa sana mapunta sa upper class section; prime class A. Mayroon tayong prime class B. Mataas ang iba mong nakuhang grado. Unang semester, isang daang porsiyento ang nakuha mo. Pangalawang semester, siyamnapung-siyam, pangatlong semester, isang daan. Tapos sa final grade biglang naging pitumpu."

The girl's face surprised. "Nakakagulat. Mas matalino pa pala siya sa isang estudyante roon sa Prime Class A. Hindi ba at ang with highest rank dito ay si Archasid Eredruen? Hm, ang weirdong iyon. Walang kumakausap sa kaniya noon dahil nga kahit nasa highest rank siya, mayroon siyang records ng patayan."

Napalunok naman ako sa huling sinabi niya at halata sa akin ang gulat sa kaniyang winika. Mayroon na bang kaso ng patayan sa eskuwelahang ito?

"Enough, Kreisayne." Matalim siyang tumingin sa babaeng nakilala ko kanina na may pangalang Kreisayne. Umiwas naman agad siya ng tingin at nagtampo na parang isang bata.
