Chapter 1
13 days before graduation.
February 11, 2019
The sound of my cell phone was just waking up and I was getting ready for class, I didn't read what they were talking about in our GC, so I went straight to the bathroom to take a shower and I still have class, just one month to grade I'm 11.
Hi 👋, I'm Char, Charline Charles, 15 years old the president of SPJ-10 but don't worry I'll be sixteen in 4 days from now.
After showering and getting dressed, I quickly grabbed my things for the project this last quarter, I forgot my cellphone so I went back to the house when I was outside the door.
I opened my cell phone to read their chatter in GC but I almost dropped my cell phone from what I read.
SPJ GClassmates
Vice Pres.:
Are you going to our classmate's hill, right? I'm going with you, are you?
Secretary reply to Vice Press.:
Yes, that's my friend
Treasurer who is beautiful:
It is a pity that he was killed
Miss Ganda reply to Treasurer that is beautiful:
Why did you see his body? What does it look like?
Treasurer who is beautiful reply to Miss Ganda:
No, but I was told that there are no eyes and no tongue
:Miss. Charles
What you said who is dead?
:Miss. Charles
I will talk to you about who is dead in the classroom
:Miss. Charles
No classtoon SPJ will appear
I immediately turned off my cellphone and quickly got into the car "Manong let's go" I said to the man and he just nodded, who died in my class I wish it was Mikyla hmp, I opened my phone again and called Vice Press.
Shan Den Ferrer, a 16 year old top 3 and the Vice President of SPJ-10.
:Miss. Charles
Who is dead Mr. Ferrer
Shan Den:
Amanda Dela Cruz was found dead on a deserted street, missing her eyes and tongue
:Miss. Charles
You're just kidding, aren't you, Mr. Ferrer
Shan Den:
I'm not, see you in class Press
:Miss. Charles
See you
I turned off my phone and Amanda Dela Cruz, one of the students of our Section who is SPJ, 16 yrs old then my best friend and top 4 in the whole school was just staring at the window now she is dead I just want to know what happened.
"Hey, we're here and maybe you'll be late for class" the man said and I got out of the car.
I was about to walk into the gate when someone called me not far away "Charline, let's go together" she ran towards me and I was gently tickled "Okay" was my only answer even though I didn't want to because she was hanging out with me.
"Come on" while holding it in my hand, I just smiled at the pretending, she is Mikyla Rivera, who wouldn't be surprised if she looked like that, my classmate, 15 years old and top 2 in the whole school, I almost got ahead of being top 1 tsp.
"Isn't it your sweet sixteen birthday on Friday happy birthday" he greeted and smiled, he was still childish and annoyed "Hi Mikyla" I looked at the person who greeted him from another section and we were also in the garage "Hi" when he greeted her back, he was really flirtatious no matter what tea
I left her there with the guy she was talking to and I might feel sorry for her, isn't she reading in GC that a classmate of ours died, in fact she doesn't open FB because she doesn't have a cellphone.
My cell phone rang and someone chatted with me.
Shaira:
Charline where are you now? You know already? Amanda was found without eyes and tongue, which was fed to the dog
:Miss. Charles
Yeah I know I'm going up
Besides, the cellphone was off when I sent, Shaira Ramirez, 16 years old the one of students of SPJ-10 and top 15, I went up the stairs "Char wait naman" Mikyla kaairita tsk "You know" I stopped walking to wait for him "Which one" he asked and followed my walk with him.
"One of our classmates passed away and I don't know the other info. dahi--" he suddenly covered his mouth "What passed out?!!!, what pain?, who?" he shouted and thankfully no one was with us on the stairs and the stupid one.
"Died ass in dead tho" I politely said "Ahh died!!!, What a pain, who" it shouted but I covered its mouth.
"I'll just ask in the classroom" I continued walking "Ahh, he's done raping a girl or a boy" he asked "The OA at any time" I said to myself "Who is it?" he asked and pulled me further .
"Press your here" Shaira came up to us "He's not here?" Mikyla said bluntly Shaira just got angry with him and pulled me out of there, Mikyla was left on the stairs "Really pay attention like you do Press" dada this Shaira.
"Hmp come on" I said and entered the classroom "Guys, Press is here!!!" shouted Arriane the secretary, everyone sat down when I sat in my chair then I stood in front.
Arriane Cruz is the secretary of SPJ-10, 16 years old top six in the whole school "What happened to Aman--?" I couldn't finish what I was going to say when someone shouted "Amanda is dead" Mikyla shouted and entered the classroom, everyone was surprised by his reaction while the others laughed.
"Stupid" I whispered "Sit down" and it just followed "Like what you talked about in GC, about Amanda can you tell me what is really happening!" I said loudly "Why Press is Amanda missing?" He said enough again, I just shook my head in irritation.
Arriane raised her hand and pointed at Vice Press. everyone turned around "Mr. Ferrer can you give me an info." and I'm referring to Shan Den "Amanda Dela Cruz was dead last night, she was found without eyes and tongue and the killer still hasn't been found" everyone was silent after what was said this.
"Girls, listen, don't go out every night, okay and boys too, maybe they've already sold their eyes" I said and went back to the seat because it rang to say that there was a class and the teacher might catch up with us.
"CLASS dismissed" our teacher said before going out, recess "Ahhm excuse me class no one is leaving first" upon entering the classroom of Ma'am Rose Marie Sta. Cruz, everyone returned to their seats.
"You probably already know what happened to your classmate or friend, Amanda Dela Cruz, right" everyone nodded "It's because you added her to her exponent then--shhh" is that the noise that Mikyla made in front of me tsk.
"Now her brother is here to get the things she left behind" Amanda's brother who is in grade 7 entered "Condolence iha" ma'am and left the classroom "Condolence Merie" me "Where is Ate's seat" she asked eyes are red, I know he will cry in no time.
"His locker is over there next to the trash can and his chair is over here" I pointed to my side, he just nodded, I heard the condolences of the others, when he finished taking all the things, he also left, poor thing he hmp
"Let's help them find Amanda's killer" I said while we were eating here and they looked at me at the same time, we always eat together in this section even if we make noise sometimes.
"Could you please not have a detective Ms. Charles, let the police take care of that," said Mr. Ferrer is right, the police will take care of that, I stood up because I lost my appetite when I saw Mikyla coming here.
"Why are you going to help Char, that's why the police are doing that?" Shaira said and she followed me. I asked Mikyla.
"Nothing, I just want to say that you passed your science project because I passed bye" he said before passing us "Famous people lacked attention, maybe he will replace Jollibee with a super star" Shaira said, making me laugh even more
"You're really crazy Shaira" I shook my head "Riza why did you throw away my food" we heard a shout from behind so we turned around, Mikyla's food was on the floor and Riza was all smiles here "Charline let's go to the classroom, Your food is garbage" Mikyla just cried.
