Zuleen's POV

PAIKA-IKA akong naglakad papunta sa pila ng STEM at natumba ako sa pagod. I placed my hands to the bricked cemented flooring while gasping a lot of air.

"Look on your 6 o'clock, beshy."

"Hala, who's that?"

"What happened to her, besh?"

"STEM din siya?"

I heard their voices as they saw me helplessly striving to lined up here. I didn't know why I am still breathing and kicking in the most edges. Buhay pa ako ngayon at nakatapak pa sa pila na ito after the trampling incident. I thought it was a constant zero percentage, but life gave me decimal chances to live. Akala ko mamamatay na talaga ako roon sa daan kasama ang mga bangkay pero nakaya ko pang bumangon muli para sa sarili ko. Marami akong scratches na natamo sa braso at dumi sa damit. Lalo lang namumuo ang pagkamuhi ko sa batch na ito.

I wanted to avenge.

In order to have a change, there should be an action I must formulate. Alam ko na ang patakaran at pasikot-sikot sa unibersidad na ito dahil I was once dropout last year because of the incident I had been through. I merely went here again not for plain studying but for my revenge and having an objective to grasp the untold revelation of inexplicable peculiarity of ZSU.

A university which was not completely a school to be called for.

May namumuo sa aking utak na maraming equations and formulas. I can't control it, they're moving on themselves as they simplified everything into numerical datas. They are finding the X value. Napapikit ako nang mariin. Gumugulo sila sa utak ko na halos ikabaliw ko.

"Stop it. Stop!"

Hindi pa sila tumitigil. All the equations got randomized. Hindi ko na maituwid ang pag-iisip ko as I kneeled down in pain. Kumikirot ang ulo ko. I strangled my hair as I felt pinning needles inside my head. Namumula na ang mga paningin ko.

"Stop!" I cried as I attracted everyone's attention.

"What's happening to her?"

"Ayos lang ba siya?"

"Baka naka-good item siya."

Pinaghahampas ko na ang sarili ko. I felt my head was ripping apart. The value of X was still unknown. Hindi sila tumitigil hangga't hindi pa nila nasasagot ito. My body awakened as it loses my pure sanity.

I almost went to be unconscious until the calculation stopped and provided me a finalized answer. Hingal na hingal ako sa kakapusan ng aking hininga.

I smiled devilishly.

The answer to my problem was plotted to my mentality. I know the value of my X. My confidence arised as I discerned my plan for manipulating the student body and putting the name of ZSU of its gravestone.
