HIELLO'S POV
'Who would've thought that my new classmate would be my neighbor here in this new apartment?' After thanking her for the cookies, I walked towards my unit and proceeded to open my door when I noticed a piece of paper slid half wag between the cracks underneath my door. I picked it up then read what was written on the paper.
"Right on the exact time
On exactly seven thirty
Once the bell rings
Fear will strike the entire campus
Tears will start to fall
Once the bell rings
People will scream in fear"
I flipped the paper hoping to find a name of where it might have came from but didn't see anything. "What the hell is this?" I asked myself.
I shrugged the thought of the letter off after putting it in my bag the headed to my fridge. 'Ah, I forgot to get some food.' I went over to my counter then opened one of the hanging cabinets and pulled out a cup ramen. 'Another one of these, huh?' I boiled some water for my food then walked towards a box. Yes, I'm not yet done unpacking my things yet. I pulled out a novel then began to read it as I waited for the water to boil.
'This never get old. I let out a chuckle realizing that I've read this novel for so many times now and it still piques my interest. I took the pot off the stove then opened my cup noodles. I then opened the packets of flavoring then poured it in the cup and added some water. I closed the lid again then waited for the noodles to be done.
While waiting, I caught a glimpse of the card I found earlier. I picked it up and started to study it carefully when I heard a knock on my door. I looked at the time on my phone. 'It's already 9 in the evening! Who would it be at this hour?' I rushed towards the door then opened it.
"H-hey, I found this letter slid under my door when I entered my unit. I was wondering if you could help me with—" It was my classmate and neighbor. She was holding the same letter that was slid under my door. "I also have one." I simply said as I raised the letter that I was holding. "Oh." She said. "Come in." I gestured her to go inside.
"Reading it gave me chills!" She said as she went in my living room. She gave me the card she was holding and that's when I noticed that the messages from my card is different from her's.
"Just when you see me, stay where you are— Until you see me on the ground— My eyes would stay wide open— People would realize my worth once this happens." I read hers. "The message you got is different from mine." I said to her giving my card. She looked at it for a while. "Give me my card." She said so I did. "I think I know what the sender wants us to know." I moved closer to her enough to see what's written in both cards. That is when I noticed it.
"A suicide." I mumbled and she gave a nod as a response. The card I got stated the place and her's stated what the sender is going to do. She looked up at me. "This means we should go to school earl— uhh..." I looked her in the eye. "Yes we should. We need to stop this person from jumpi— hey, what's wrong?" I asked her when I noticed her face getting red. "Are you sick?" I asked her again. "N-no. It's just that— never mind." She inched herself from me. "As I was saying, we need to go to school earlier tomorrow in order to stop the sender from committing suicide." I nodded. "I'll get going na. I haven't eaten my dinner yet kase." I nodded then walked her to the door. When I closed the door behind her, i walked towards my kitchen to eat my dinner.
