View MoreI woke up from the noise outside. I can hear laughters and giggles outside the tent. Napaupo ako mula sa pagkakahiga. My stomach grumbled from my sudden move. Damn, ilang oras na ba akong walang kain? Sa’n ba ako pwedeng humingi ng pagkain dito?Just when I’m about to stand up, two girls entered the tent. Kasama sila roon sa mga nahuli kong nakatitig sa ‘kin kanina. The short-haired girl was smiling at me samantalang ang isa naman ay deretso lamang ang tingin sa ‘kin.“Mabuti naman at gising ka na,” the short-haired girl broke the silence. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang sasabihin ko so I just nodded. Damn it, this is so awkward. I don’t know what to do so I decided to just roam my eyes around the tent. 3 cot beds including mine, some lampshades and one table were inside.“This is Sandy, ako naman si Mika, kami yung makakasama mo dito sa tent,” saad muli ng babaeng maikli ang buhok. I nodded to acknowledge them.
Napatayo ako nang matuwid. I nodded, signaling him to continue.“The chaser and runner thing that you’ve heard from us was founded by Maximo, the current leader of the chasers. It all started when he started comparing the animal and human behavior. He claimed that humans are just specialized animals. The only thing that brought us to the top of the hierarchy is our cognitive mind. Maliban doon, hayop pa rin ang tingin ni Maximo sa mga tao. ““Man, I’m taking back what I said earlier. Mukhang si Maximo ang siraulo rito.”He ignored my comment. “Hindi siya nakontento sa ginawang experiment. He elevated his study by using the people of Accredon as one of his variables. He planned to divide the people into two. One will play as the predator while the other group will act like prey. He told his father, Mateo, who used to be the leader of Accredon about his plan. Mateo refused his son’s offer because it’s too inhum
Ever tried having this weird feeling when someone’s staring at you when you’re asleep? That’s exactly what I’m feeling right now. I opened my eyes, 6 pairs of eyes were looking directly at me. Agad kumunot ang noo ko.“What the hell are you looking at?” I shot, totally pissed with what’s going on. Agad silang napaatras sa pambungad ko.“Damn, I thought tita Cielo was just exaggerating things,” the curly-haired guy blurted out. Agad din siyang tinanguan ng iba niyang kasama. Umupo ako sabay hawak sa ulo kong masakit. I closed my eyes, trying to recall what happened.It took me a minute or so to finally open my eyes again. Nilibot ko ang paningin, nasa tent pa rin ako. That means I’m still here in the nut hideout. Pure horror washed over me. Tiningnan ko ang mga taong nasa loob, there were 7 of them, including that Kenta guy.They looked at me like I’m some sort of a fish, a strange fish who
I woke up from the voices outside. Isang tent na gawa sa kahoy at pinagtagpi-tagping tela ang bumungad sa’kin. Kunot noo kong nilibot ang paligid. Where am I? Just when my eyes reached the entrance, two strangers came in. One was a woman maybe from her late 40s or early 50s. The other one was a man, maybe just around my age or a bit older than me.Umupo ako, not minding the headache I’m having. “I’m glad you’re awake,” the woman said. Tumaas ang kaliwang kilay ko. Ba’t naman siya matutuwa eh hindi niya naman ako kilala?“Where am I?” I raised my left brow. Bahagyang napaubo ang babae sa pabalang kong tanong.“You know, it’s not very nice to speak rudely to someone who saved you,” the man said. Our eyes met, hindi ko mapigilang mamangha sa mukha niya. He has these hazel eyes, thick brows, pretty nose and sharp jawline. In short, he’s pretty. I stopped myself, trying to keep the remainin
“That’s it for today, I’m also reminding you about your research paper, deadline’s on Friday,” Professor Nee said and left the room. Binagsak ko ang ulo ko sa mahabang mesa, ninanamnam ang paglipat ng lamig ng mesa papunta sa mukha ko.I was sleepless last night from making that stupid research paper. Mas mabuting maaga akong matapos kaysa magcram. I hate crammings, my mind turns blank when I’m exposed to any pressure.I’m a sophomore in College, pursuing Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology. Reason? I don’t know. I just thought that it’s a cool profession.You earn money by studying small living creatures on someone’s body. It’s cool, right? Well, minus the idea of viewing it in someone’s blood, poop, or saliva. God! I can’t imagine studying someone’s poop or saliva. It's gross! I’m fine with blood though.I always ace our oral exam when it comes to drawi
