All life she had lived in misery, playing hide-and-seek with her tremendous past. She had no friends, or-so her friends have left her. One day, after mysteriously downloading an app, her life changed. Eight guys teasing each other, and suddenly, in...

Hindi na talaga akong nag dawalang isip pa na hindi pumunta ro'n. Baka kung ano na ang mangyari kay You. I am scared to lose another life of what is important to me. Kung puwedeng ako nalang.
Hindi ko namalayan na sumunod sila saakin. Now, where are they? Lumingon-lingon ako. Pero wala naman sila. Don't tell me.. mali ang pinuntahan naming lugar?
Tinignan ko ang dala-dala kong tablet. Umayos nanaman siya. Kita kami sa hidden camera, that means tama lang ang pinuntahan namin.
"Kung sino ka man! Ilabas mo na si You! Hindi kami nakikipaglaro sa 'yo! Hindi ka na siguro bata ano?!" Napakalakas na pagsigaw ni Walter. Halatang galit na galit din. Sino bang hindi magagalit doon? Gusto ko na talagang matigil ang lahat ng ito.
Patuloy ako sa paghahanap. Hanggang sa nawalan na ako ng pag-asa at bumalik sa dating lugar kung saan sila nagkita.
"Well, well, well. What do we have here?" A familiar voice was heard. Ayokong maniwala na totoong may naririnig ako nung una.
Pero base sa reaksyon nung dalawang nasa harap ko. Gulat na gulat sila. Hindi ko alam kung pagkamangha, galit, o kung ano. Pinipigilan ko ang sarili ko na lumingon. Pero hindi ko magawa dahil natatakot ako na baka siya nga ang tao sa likod ng mga nangyayari saamin.
"Yishai, ayaw mo ba akong makita? Weren't you dying to punch me in the face. Oh, kababae kong tao gusto mo nang patayin." Pumikit ako at huminga ng malalim. No, it isn't her. No, it isn't her.
Lumingon ako ng dahan-dahan. The person I am least expecting, nandito na sa harapan ko.
"Did you guys missed me?" Still wearing that innocent smile of hers. You'll think you're in heaven.
But now she's hell.
"P-p-paano..? Y-you're.." Pag-uutal sa likod ni Walter habang nakakunot ang noo. That's what I wanna ask too.
Why would a dead person show up after so many years? The fact na hindi namin siya makalimutan.. makes sense.
"The one of the boys. The kinababaliwan niyo. The loyal sa isa pero ang pito umaasa. Yes, it is me."
Umiling lang ako nang umiling. No, this is not true. This is only a dream. Imposible. Bakit siya nandito?
"Hindi ba kayo masaya na nabuhay ulit ako? Didn't y'all thought I am dead?" She raised both of her arms. The other is missing.
Totoo ngang siya. Kaya pala hindi na mahanap ang katawan niya pagkatapos.
"We shouldn't be good to you. Ikaw ba si System? Ikaw ba ang may pakana ng lahat ng ito? Sagot!" Hindi ko na mapigilan ang sarili ko. She looked surprised, but that's what she deserves.
Tumawa siya ng marahan. "Nabasa niyo ba ang letter na linagay ko sa katawan ni Mazy?"
Yes. I do remember that. Pinasakit mo pa ang braincells ko para basahin lang 'yung binary code.
"It's not me. Okay? Hindi ako 'yung villain." Defending herself. Hindi pa rin kami naniniwala.
"From the start we all know it was you. All along." Sagot naman ni Speed. Teka, wala kaming napag-usapan na ganito-oh-maybe it was only for acting.
The past month we were asking not to bring the topic back to her again, but guess who appeared in front of our naked eyes?
"Fine, fine," Raising up her two hands. One hand, rather. "It's me System. But let me remind you my full name is Herschel Fallen."
"Impossible!" Sigaw ni Walter.
"I met with my sister earlier. Mukhang gulat na gulat din siya. Akala ko ba gusto niyo akong makita? Bakit ngayon.. parang ayaw niyo na bigla? May nagawa ba akong masama kaya nagkakaganiyan kayo?"
A grin formed on her lips. Now that answers the question, why do they look so familiar? Bakit hindi ko pa naisip 'to nung simula palang?
"She's a good person. While you're not." I bravely answer. If she's going to brainwash us making You the bad guy. Then she's already failed the mission. Isang buwan na rin ang pinagsamahan naming lahat. Why would we give up on that trust we had?
"Oh, hun. Isang buwan mo lang siya nakasama, ako? You have been friends with me since we were young. Bakit hindi ako ang pagkatiwalaan mo?"
No, you're wrong.
"We were never friends."
Anger is still here. But the memories suddenly popped out inside my head. The memories that was buried long time ago.
Ang saklap lang isipin na ang babae na tinuring naming prinsesa, ay siyang naging kontrabida.
Mukhang nasaktan siya sa sinabi ko. But oh well, she deserves that. Hindi lang iyan eh, because she killed my friends that I treated as my family.
Her innocent aura, vanished. Napalitan ito ng takot, galit at puot. Even the weather has changed, too. From sunny to hazy.
Natatakot na ako sakaniya. Anong nangyari ba nung nawala kami? This isn't the Her I know.
She took a step closer. At first I wasn't that intimidated, pero habang papalapit nang papalapit siya saakin, isa-isang pumapasok sa isipan ko ang lahat ng nagawa niya sa mga kaibigan ko.
Lumayo ako sakaniya by stepping a foot backwards. The saga continues, hanggang sa tumigil na ako ng kusa. Siguro kung hindi ko siya itutuloy hindi na rin niya itutuloy.
Napalunok ako ng laway ko dahil ang lapit niya saakin. Her innocent face could cover the crimes she had done. Walang awa-awa dapat, kapag mamamatay tao, mamamatay tao.
Walter was about to attack her in the nape when Herschel was quick to act fast. Defending herself, she slashed Walter's thigh. Making him falling on the ground.
"I asked You," looking at my eyes. The same eyes I used to stare at. "Who does she liked the most."
Napalunok ako. Why the hell am I nervous?
"She answered, Yishai."
"But.. she likes you because you're the reason how she found every one. The answer is wrong, frankly. Ever since she was a kid matagal na niyang crush si Walter. She deceived him with words. Tuwang-tuwa siya nung nag-aaway kayo."
"Since the answer is wrong.. now I'll have to kill you, love."
Wala akong maintindihan sa sinasabi niya. Tanging nagbibingi-bingihan lang ako. Gusto kong maka-alis, gusto kong umalis.
She raised her arm, there was a knife she used to attack Walter back. Hindi ko magalaw ang aking mga paa. Hindi ko rin magalaw ang kung ano saaking katawan. All I know, is that I am getting killed today.
"Too bad, Herschel. The police is already here."
Hindi niya natuloy ang balak niyang gawin saakin dahil kumaripas siya ng takbo. The face she made after hearing the sirens looked like she wasn't an experienced killer but just a killer seeking for revenge. She could be deadly but she's clumsy. Mukha lang pala siyang nakakatakot dahil sa aura niya.
I thanked Walter who distracted Her for a second, dahil kung hindi, tigok na ako. Sobrang lapit na kaya nung kutsilyo sa leeg ko. Inalalayan ko siyang tumayo. The bloods are still dropping from the slash.
"I didn't do it! I didn't do it! Fuck!"
"Manahimik ka nga. Kitang-kita naman kung paano mo siya balak patayin. Sa presinto ka na magpaliwanag."
