Denver's Pov
Bob and the rest of the group still wasn't able to find any clues. We tried our best in every way. Checked every CCTV cameras in this campus. Asked for the security records but still has nothing concrete on hand.
we're left with 3 suspects, which is all unbelievable.
First was Ricci, who end up helping us solving this case. Second was me, who only got accused of being an attention seeker. Lastly was Rein, who had family problems and was always not present.
see, we still have nothing to prove a person's guilt.
I know its been a tough 5 months, but its finally the last day of 1st Sem.
Everyone in 2nd Year, photography gathered in Mr. Delo Santos' classroom. The teacher had a huge announcement before we go home, ending this semester with Joy.
We already took our final exams, and the results will go out soon. All we have to worry now is the enrollment for next Semester. Which we still have more than a week to prepare. Besides, I have nothing to worry. I've already taken care of everything needed for my clearance.
This has nothing to do with my issues. I'm still Denver Jel Clarke, who promised not to let it affect me in any way.
Everyone was excited to go home at the moment. even me and my friends are almost ready. We already planned to do a whole week stay on my house. try our best to be responsible. for my mother will also be not around that time.
"Are you I ready Denver?" Dhaine asked me.
She was sitting beside me, as well as my other friends Sue, Blanche, Timothy and Johan.
"How can someone not be excited Dhaine. Finally this semester is about to end." Sue said, joyfully.
I know this Semester was also bad for other students, especially my friends. Who took initiative and solve my issues on my behalf.
I looked around. everyone was here, except for Bob, Rum and Nick. Are they still trying to solve this issue?
I mean people already lost interest in that picture. It has been posted on DHT page for almost 2 months. Of course they would get bored.
Also because Rum and I don't go together anymore. He cant post other pictures of us together. (smart thinking).
Mr. Delo Santos arrived at the classroom together with the other teachers of our faculty. They stood in front, waiting for everyone to settle down and shut up.
it took some time for the students to calm down. who would not be excited to go home without a scheduled test or assignments for tomorrow.
"Ok, class are you ready to end this semester?!" Mr. Delo Santos announced.
The students cheered as response.
"before I dismiss you guys, our teachers have something to tell you first." Mr. Delo Santos instructed.
He told us to sit down first and listened to the teacher's instructions.
The first teacher told us to make sure our clearance are cleared. or else we wont be having a happy Semester break.
And the other teachers followed with various instructions about The next semester.
Everyone got bored and just wants to go home, until Ms. Goba took the microphone.
"Lastly, we have something to tell you." Ms. Goba said. "Are you ready to listen?"
the students answered like dead people. Zombies to be exact.
"4 days from now we are going to-" The students didn't let her finish and groaned in disappointment. I thought we were going to have a whole week to rest.
"let me finish first." miss Goba said.
I was ready to listen to her boring instructions. but it wasn't as we expected.
"4 days from now we are going to have a vacation as a batch" she announced.
did I mishear it? vacation as batch?
the students started cheering.
we settled down to hear Ms. Goba's amazing announcement.
"Everything is handled by our school. Well, except for your sleeping quarters. You can rent there as a group. or you can bring a tent" she said.
"its up to you" Ms. Goba continued.
"as for transportations we will have 3 bus for those who wants to come with us. As for those who wish to go there on their own, its also okay as long as you be careful" Ms. Goba ended her announcement by saying goodbye to everyone.
Everyone started cheering and left the classroom joyfully.
"so, our sleepover will not be for a whole week?" dhaine said.
The original plan was to do the sleepover on my house for a whole week, but since this is happening its much better.
We only have 3 days of staying in my house, while four days at the retreat.
"Sure do. we have more exciting things to do." Sue replied.
"Lest get started shall we?" I told them.
together we left the school.
**************************************************************************
My friends didn't hesitate and pack their things immediately.
Timothy thought of an idea to start as soon as the class is over, and they immediately knocked on my door with their bags ready.
We had fun, but with the presence of my mother. She thought us how to cook, clean, and a lot of stuff.
She decided to leave on the day we go on the retreat vacation.
Today is our last night in our house, Of course we have to make it as happy as possible. Tomorrow morning everyone we leave and return to their houses. They will momentarily go home, and prepare their things, and then come back here. Since, I'm going to Drive them.
we're already getting ready to sleep. My bed can occupy 3 people, but since its made from two layers of Foam, we can remove the upper layer and make it a Bed for 6 people.
Everyone has a brilliant mind.
Everyone was getting ready. I already took my evening bath, brush my teeth and did my facial routine.
I was already Sitting at the Bed.
"Have you already planned our sleeping quarters for tomorrow?" I asked them. They said they are going to pay for the sleeping quarter (Rick kids)
no one answered. I turned around to see the five of them laughing silently.
"guys?" I told them.
they stopped laughing.
"uhm-yes- We already told Ms. Goba via messenger." Dhaine replied.
Good thing! I wish they're the only ones in the room. Or else I wont be able to sleep with Rum and the others.
A minute later Sue came close to me.
"Hay, How are you and Rum?" She noticed my sad face.
"oh I see" she said. She thought the answer was right on my face.
It was not getting any better. Still no communication. Although, I always smile at him when we bumped on each other. Maybe he still feels shy in talking to me.
To be honest, That was yesterday's problem. Whatever happens he was still my friend.
"Denver." Sue started. " I know you're confused right now. but I'm your friend and you cant hide it from me"
"what do you mean?"
"Your feelings!"
"what?-"
"You had fun when Rum was around did you? you even went to the mall with Him." Sue said teasing me.
"he invited me." I replied.
yes, it was the greatest day of my life. He went to the mall with me, and that was the day I told myself Rum was a friend.
"which Rum also enjoyed." Sue continued.
"Can you tell me Denver, are you really Avoiding Rum because of the kiss? or your feelings?" Sue said.
Rum Ocampo has always been close to me since the day we meet, but I don't understand what my heart dictates nor the real intentions of Rum Ocampo.
"I don't know."
"No Denver, you know. but you're afraid to admit it." Sue told me.
"but-"
"You know it Denver trust me. You can tell me, its just the two of us."
I became speechless momentarily and Sue kept persuading me. I accidentally shouted at her.
"what do you really feel Denver?"
I didn't answer.
"Tell me."
"Tell me!!"
I was losing myself.
"What do I feel?!. I dont know what to feel!! I'm confused and lost. Cant even figure out what this feelings are for." I told her
"there you go. You should think what those feelings are for." Sue told me.
I smiled at her.
I thought no one heard us, until I forgot I shouted.
"Hey, talking about Rum?" Blanche told us.
"Its unfair. Not to include us." Dhaine told us angrily.
Everyone came closer where Sue and I are sitting. Timothy brought the Beer we Hid from my mother.
and Sue repeated everything.
I HOPE YOU'RE ENJOYING EVERYTHING. VOTE FOR THIS CHAPTER, COMMENT FOR ANY ERRORS."
