Why can't we stay normal?
Like the old days have come.
Why can't we live normal lives?
Because we are dumb.
*RING*
"Okay, class dismissed. Don't forget your homework and we will have a quiz next meeting." Said the teacher.
The teacher then fixes his things and prepares to leave the room. As he exits the room, I can hear my classmates talking.
"Agh, I wish he can stay a little bit longer…" Classmate 1
"Yeahh, he was like a full package! Handsome, kind, and gentle!" Classmate 2
"Luckily we are his students...Aghh… we are his student." Classmate 1
"What a sad life we have." Both signed grief.
"Sam, are you not going home?" Conney asked.
"Nope, I'm on cleaning duty today," I replied.
"Okay, well see you tomorrow then!" She cheered.
When I was about to get some cleaning materials, Someone came up to me.
"Sam! Can you cover for me this time? I have practice today. I promise that next time it will be me. Please?" He begged like a puppy.
"Fine, but next time you are on your own. Aiden" I sighed deeply.
"Yes Ma'am!" and he did a fake salute.
After he left, I took some cleaning materials from the cleaning cabinet. One by one I started to clean the desk, then the board, and wiped the floor. I took a little break and admired the sunset from the classroom window. As I'm about to finish my finishing touches, I heard a loud crash.
*CRASH*
The familiar sound of glass shattering and wood breaking can be heard in the background. I thought that it was just another cat jumping on the rooftop lately. But I think it became too frequent to be an accident.
I clean up all the materials that I have and wash my hands in the restroom. I hear another peculiar sound and I look through the window of the restroom. Then I witnessed something that I should haven't seen.
My teacher was stabbing someone on the ground. On school grounds! He stabs the person once, twice, thrice, until I lose count. Then I noticed he was now staring at me. My eyes widened, and then I knew that I f*ck up.
I started to run through the hallway and was about to leave the school thinking about how to escape when I noticed that I forgot my bag in the classroom.
I run back to the classroom, trying to be quiet but fast as possible. I took my bag and was about to go when I heard some footsteps in the hallway.
'Sh*t I'm dead
Then again I was thinking of a possible solution for this last-minute do-or-die situation.
a. I should close the door but he will hear it if I do…
b. Pretend to be asleep and just adjust a timer.
c. Run like hell, lose chains. And be dead tomorrow.
I liked the last option but, I still want to live so…
I fixed my bag's location and pretended to be asleep. Took my earphones and plugged them into my ears with max volume. The only problem is catching my breath, since I'm not a very active person, I easily get tired.
Breath in…
Breath out…
You don't see anything…
You don't hear anything...
The lights were turned on.
Then I feel something on my shoulder…
Stay calm…
Stay calm…
You're asleep…
'F*cking sh*t'
He shakes me up, making me wake up (faked). I looked at him with drowsy eyes.
It was him.
His calm and gentle aura did not match his previous actions. In a split second, I doubted my eyes, but he wouldn't be here if it wasn't true. My heart started to beat faster than before.
"You shouldn't be sleeping in here, It's already dark, you should go home now." and he gave his signature smile. If I was one of his fangirls I would be happy but I'm not right now I'm more frightened than happy.
*YAWN*
I wiped my right eye and asked.
"What time is it?" Still pretending to just wake up.
"It's 6:06 pm. Why are you sleeping in here by the way?" he asked.
"I was on cleaning duties and finished up quickly. Then I was sleepy and took a nap for a while… *YAWN* I thought I turned my timer on but I guess I didn't hear it." I calmly said.
"*Sigh* Next time just get home early, your parents might be worried sick. It's already late, I will drive you home if you're fine with that." He asked.
This gave me chills. Drive me home? I think you will drive me to my doom.
Stay calm…
"Ah-" before I could even answer, my phone rang.
Ahh, my lifesaver!
It was my timer! I pretend that it was a call.
"Hello, uncle… yeah I'm still at school… yeah… I have fallen asleep… you're going to pick me up? Okay okay, I will wait here. Okay bye." And pretend that I hung the call.
"Your uncle will pick you up?"
"Ah, yes, he's on his way he said. Sorry to bother you today Sir, I'm taking my leave."
And I walked away normally without looking at my back. After turning right on the hallway I run fast and far away as my life depends on it.
As I'm about to reach the gates. I walked slowly because it was an open area and he or they might see me running like hell. They might think of me as an eavesdropper.
I booked a cab and pretended to chat with my nonexistent friend. Thankfully the cab was early. When I was about to open the back door, I heard the most nerve-racking voice I wished I didn't hear.
"Sam! You forgot something." He gasps as he runs just to get in here.
'I don't think that I have forgotten something sir. I already forgot the things you did earlier so please let me be!'
"Ahm, What is it, sir?" I calmly replied trying to hide my nervous voice.
I did not know that I was gifted with acting till this f*cking incident happened. Maybe I might win an oscar with this sh*t.
He handed me a no.2 blue pencil.
I thanked him and opened the front door of the cab and drove away. I told the cab driver to stop at the bus station far away from my school and thankfully it was rush hour for the night workers.
I mixed in with the crowd and hopefully, no one was following me. As I sat down on the bus, I started to look at the pencil.
I don't have this kind of pencil…
I don't have pencils…
I only have mechanicals…
I f*cked up.
This pencil…
Is the murder weapon.
