Everyone thought of the Head Master's message. And it doesn't make sense at all.
"No one can go to any establishment here in the campus if you can't guess the hidden message of the Head Master. And when you figured it out, just tell it to the guard of the establishment you want to go to so they will let you in. Have a wonderful night, everyone!"
"How can this night be wonderful if we will have a headache because of solving that message," Eroll complained.
"Who are Willy and Elijah? Do they have significant effects to find out the hidden message?" Monica asked and tilted her head a little.
“What about you, Dave, I know you already figured out the answer,” Chris stated as if he was so sure.
"What about you, don't you know yet?" I asked back.
"I was trying to figure out."
"What do we do if Willy gets sick?" Eroll complained again.
"Let's go," I whispered to them.
"Wait, we haven't solved it yet."
"He already knows the answer," Monica beamed at us.
Chris applauded, "Aha! I knew it!"
"Please don't you say that you already know as well?" Eroll asked.
"Come on, we're going to lose space in the bar," I said sharply as many students were running now because they had already solved the hidden message.
"How about me, I don't know the answer yet," Eroll whined again.
"Then try to solve it," Monica urged him.
For sure, Monica already knew the answer because she was already smiling.
We were close to the bar when Eroll suddenly shouted.
"YES! I got it guys. Why did I over-analyzed. It was very easy!"
We just laughed because of his weird behavior.
"I'll take care of the guard, guys," he added.
"Oh, just make sure you answered correctly, because if you don't, you'll face the consequences," Monica threatened.
"Chill! Don't you trust me?"
Eroll even stared at the bouncer before he said the secret message.
"WELCOME!"
Willy got sick, but
Elijah is here tonight
Lucky he is
'Cause he will enjoy this party.
One, Two, Three, Four, he counts
Making his world go round and round
Expecting you to do the same
"The first letter of each line is the answer. Willy and Elijah had nothing to do with that Message. So easy."
"Well it took you more than 5 minutes to get it."
“You may now enter, John Eroll Rodriguez, Dave Zyfford, Monica Ruis, and Christopher Enriquez,” the bouncer declared.
The bar was packed of students now, but since we are elite students, there was a space reserved for us. When we sat down, my colleagues and I ordered for our drinks. I have noticed an increase in the number of elite students in addition to the consistent top 10 of each section.
When I got my order I went to the terrace but I didn't expect anyone would bumped into me and poured my clothes with what she was drinking. Because I’m in a bad mood right now, I yelled at her.
"What?! Didn't you see me?"
"I'm sorry," she said and bowed, clearly affected by my sudden outburst.
"Well, you should. Now, how are you going to pay for this?"
The girl who poured her drinks on me was about to speak when a woman preceded her.
"She didn't intentionally pour her drinks into your clothes so she doesn't have to pay for that."
And who was she? An new student, huh?
"Don't you have some sense of Justice here? I thought the goal of this school is to reveal the Truth?" she spat sarcastically.
"And is it not fair to ask her to pay for my ruined cloth?"
"Well, in my humble opinion, it's not."
I approached her but I could not see any trace of shock or fear on her face. I was taken aback because everyone I approached would show a submissive behavior and I was used to it. Doesn't she know who I am?
I walked even closer to her until we were only half a meter away from each other. That's when I realized who was in front of me. I have a photographic memory so I remembered her and I couldn't be mistaken that she was Agent 499.
I even went over and whispered to her, "Make sure you know who you're talking to, or else, you'll regret it."
I looked at her one last time but her face was still blank and without a trace of any emotion.
"Hey, David what's that?"
"You shouldn't have done that," Monica preached.
"And why not?" I retaliated.
"You're just embarrassing yourself. You should have just accepted her apology," Chris replied.
"Whatever you say," I said then stormed out.
The next morning, everyone woke up early for the Results Day and the First day of classes.
Everyone, including Chris, was already staring at the Information Wall. And as expected, they are now lined up in the Detective section. The students gave way when they noticed my arrival.
"Wow! Our savior in the long line is here," Monica announced.
"David, please see what my rank is," Eroll pleaded as he struggled to insert himself into the sea of students who were also trying to take a look on their section.
I picked up my cellphone and took a picture of the Detective Results section.
"Wow, you're really smart Dabid, how come we didn't thought of that?" Eroll said, sounding amazed. I just shook my head at his behavior.
I gave Eroll the cellphone and he started reading the Result.
Detective Section (Top 10)
1. Dave Zyfford
2. Christopher Enriquez
3. Zanaya Reign Lopez
4. Arya Santos
5. John Eroll Rodriguez
6. Monica Ruis
7. Celyndra Ramos
8. Mark Torre
9. Luis Siazon
10. Dominique Aguirre
“There were new students who made into the top 10,” Chris commented.
"Yes, and surprisingly, you maintained your rank. I guess I'm the only one who didn't," Monica blubbered and avoided our eyes.
"Hey, cheer up. You can do better next time," Chris comforted her instantly, rubbing her back.
Monica just smiled back at us before she left for first class.
I wonder who were those two. Let's see what they got.

ARYA "Kyaaah!" I cried when I saw the result of the detective section. I turned to Zanaya and shook her shoulder at the same time saying, "I can't believe this! We got into the top 5!"Seriously, I'm really so happy. I never thought I would make it into the top 5. I looked at Zanaya to greet her but there was no trace of emotion on her face. She didn't seem happy with the result.Doesn’t she like the Detective section? Doesn't she want to be with me? If that's so, I felt like I'm going to cry.I just dared to ask her, "Zan, what's the matter?"I was surprised when she suddenly grabbed me by the shoulder and looked seriously into my eyes."Arya, Listen to me. I shouldn't be in the top 5.""What? I can't understand. Everyone wants to be in the top 5," I pointed out.After I said that she suddenly dragged me away.

I don't know about that woman, she's so weird.When I arrived in the classroom, all my classmates were already there. Fortunately, our terror teacher, Mrs. Darlene Roque, Dave’s sister was not yet there."What took you so long?" Monica whispered."I've fixed some things," I replied, just in time before Prof. Darlene arrived."Good Morning. So your subject today is 'Enhancing Observation Skills'. I want you all to stand up and say something about Objective Observation Using Pertinent Negative. The one who can't answer, won't sit down.

I need to know the background information regarding her family to prove my deductions.""Not allowed!" Eroll clearly exclaimed his disapproval."Do you seriously want us to get expelled?" Monica seconded."Chris, what do you think?" he asked me."I don't want to get involved in that mess," I replied honestly."But you said a while ago that the system is not working properly, hence, it would be easier for you to hack it."Now, this is the perk of being a computer geek. It would involved you in a mess."I'll take care of my older brother when we get caught," he added, really serious at persuading me to do it."Just make sure we won't get expelled, Dave," Monica warned."Sure. I won't. Just trust me, guys.""Fine I'll do it," I told them and that widened Dave's smile."What? Wa

ZANAYA Being 3rd rank was also good because of the additional allowance provided by the academy every month. Without it, I would surely starved to death. I never thought I would be able to survive forty-eight hours in this school, and during those hours, nothing bad was happening except for the four class leaders who had been suspicious of my actions. I know, I don't deserve that 3rd rank, but I shouldn't be blamed because of that. I don’t know how that happened either. All I want was to hide from my parents. I know it's a form of cowardice, but still, I need to do it. "Zanaya, I'm hungry. Let's go to the Café," Arya pleaded. When we entered the Cafe, the aroma of tea and coffee engulfed me, as well as the smell of freshly baked cake. It reminds me of home. There were already lots of customers and only a few spaces were left. "Zanaya, let's just grabbed something to eat in the canteen, because the E4s ar

ZANAYA"Huh?" Lia asked in surprise. "Why do you suspect us? We are her friends. We can't do that.""Just because you're her friend, doesn't mean you can't hold a grudge against her and plan to kill her," Chris contradicted Lia."It takes a few minutes before Potassium Cyanide takes effect. And since you're with Kelly for the remaining minutes of her life, you're our primary suspects," Eroll divulged."W-Wait, what's our motive for killing her?" Cherry contemplated. "We're not going to just poison her for no reason, are we?""And besides, Kelly is a good friend," Sofia added."Right, it's impossible for us to have the intention to kill her," Lia seconded."You four are in the Lawyer Section, Sub-1, right?" Monica asked while pointing to their ID lace where their section was printed on it. "And based on Kelly's appearance and posture earlier, she's probably your first rank."The three of them nodded."And you're ne

DAVEAfter what happened at the Cafe, the six of us headed straight to Detective Headquarters. Yes, we're six. I don't know why Monica thought of inviting a loud girl and a witch.The Detective Section has their own headquarters where they could train and accept cases from students. It was where meetings were usually held and secrets were kept."Hey, Lopez. If you want to go out, then you can go now," I said sharply when I noticed that she was not comfortable."Dave, can you set aside the dispute between the two of you first, they are here to help us. And besides, Arya's knowledge of codes might help us as well," countered Monica."The message from Bermuda was only intended for us, not them.""Hey, I read that it's for all of us," Arya said as she folded her arms on her chest clearly annoyed by what I said."She's right, Dave," Chris replied. "We should accept their help."I could do nothing but keep quiet. Five againt

Eroll and Arya also stopped even the others approached me.“Get a sheet of paper and a pen,” I commanded them.Chris immediately picked it up and handed it to me."Eroll, do you remember the codes that you used to send to our classmates before?""Ah, is that so? Of course. Mine is the hardest to decode," he said arrogantly.Chris laughed because of that. Even I laughed slightly."You're thick, brad! That's easy. You don't need a detective to find out the answer," Chris replied."Huh? It's not. You almost bleed your nose from answering it.""Sshhh! That's enough. As I was saying, we will use your style to decode it," I told them."How can you be sure that's right?" the witch questioned.She really doesn't trust me. Let's just see if she has anything else to say after I decode that freaking letter.“We just need to count the letters fr

ZANAYAI repeatedly called Dave as he ran after the man wearing a hoodie.I could do nothing, but follow them too.We arrived at the airport near the victim's house and the chase took us all the way inside, to the comfort room of the airport. We saw the suspect went inside the CR, but he suddenly disappeared from our sight."Where is he now?" Dave asked. He was still gasping for breath.In the hallway of the CR, six people came out.First was a civilian-- a man, quite tall, carrying a suitcase and wearing a brown jacket, and eyeglasses, and he also looked sweaty.I immediately cornered him so that he wouldn't go away. I showed him my ID as a detective so that he would cooperate.Later, a woman also wearing a jacket, tall, somewhat stout, and somewhat dark, came out of the CR. There was another girl with her and she

ZANAYAI was running...Again.But this time, I was not running away from him. I am actually running towards him."Hey, Zyfford!" I called him.He immediately turned to me. One of his eyebrows was raised while holding the papers that had been scattered earlier on the floor."You got something there?" he questioned.I approached him and held my phone in front of him showing the evidence I captured from the crime scene.His eyebrows knitted in confusion. "And what should we do with a letter to a family?"I clicked my tongue. It looked like the great Dave Zyfford lost his touch on Detective works."Duh. It could be a great help for us to solve the case," I stated in a matter of fact tone."Babe, you've got to be kidding me," he said which mad

That's Christopher Enriquez."Ah, here's my gift," he murmured shyly after a moment of just staring at each other.Arya let out a laughed as she nudged Monica on her side to which the latter just ignored and simply gave me an encouraging smile.I took it and stared at the box. "What's this?""Open it, quick!""Wow, ha! You're even more excited, Eroll," Arya commented. Eroll clearly ignored Arya's remark and just stared at the box as if anticipating it to explode or whatever. This better not explode or else I would throw it at Eroll's face."Open it," Chris urged with a smile.I shrugged my thoughts away and I began opening it. I was surprised when I saw a calculator inside. It

ZANAYAI stopped my car at the place where he currently stays. It's the place where I wouldn't even thought of visiting, but here I am inside the car, contemplating whether to get out or drive away and hide again.However, I kept on reminding myself for how many times that there was no room for cowardice. I needed to face my past so that I could move on towards my future.The things that happened to me a year ago were incomparable. It was an experience that was worth sharing as it had impacted my whole life to become the person I've become today. Life had made me tougher. It made me realized that truth always prevail no matter how much effort we exerted just to hide it. I've learned that trust was such a precious thing you could give to anyone. Trust was fragile too. It's delicate. If it was broke once, it would be hard to glue the broken pieces together.I let out a sigh. This is it.I pushed the door and got out of the car. Now,

Her wide eyes widened even more when she realized that the question was being addressed to her."I-I'm in the lobby, I'm about to go home that time..." she answered in a shaky voice."What about you?" Eroll inquired another student."My group and I are in the Cafeteria," the girl replied nonchalantly. She seemed to not care that she's one of the suspects and clearly unbothered by what's happening. Either she's not involved or she's just good at hiding emotions.Eroll continued to ask questions until he reached the frowning man who had been suspicious to me ever since I saw him."I'm in the lobby too," he replied sparingly. He and Eroll even held eye contact for a while before the latter averted his gaze to us.We sorted the students who we

You're really slow," shouted Monica who was outside the headquarters with the others.I let out an irritated sigh when I failed to tie my shoe laces properly."Seriously?" someone blurted in front of me.I looked up and saw Monica's annoyed face.I got up and faced her. "I'm done!"After saying that, I pinched her nose and ran to the door while laughing so hard.She groaned audibly as she tried to catch up."Is everything complete?" Dave asked who was seemingly bored judging by his usual dull eyes."Aye! Aye! Captain," Eroll replied playfully.They started walking towards the car.Today, we were invited for a case. And guess what, everyone was excited since it's been a long time since we were able to solve real case

ARYAMonica sent a message first to Dave before we started walking towards the MRF. There were no traces of blood on our way anymore so we didn't know which part of the academy where Zanaya was taken. Our only hope was the MRF. I really she's safe there.When we saw the MRF, the two of us hid in an acacia tree to wait for Dave.Soon, we heard the approaching footsteps of the three men."We think Zanaya was right there!" Monica whispered to the them."Look, the MRF has a secret passageway out of the academy, and I think that's the reason why JDC decided to stay right there," Dave explained. "I asked my father's men to guard all the exits, including the exit in that MRF room, so Nico could not escape, unless he creates another chaos.""We also have back-up policemen, if we haven't gotten out of the MRF within ten minutes, they will come in and

Dave with Eroll and Chris were outside and were also looking for JDC aka Nico.Who would have thought that the venerable Student Council President was the mastermind of all the violence at Zyfford Academy? No one would expect him to be able to do that. His life was now tainted with black due to his past.As for Zanaya, I am happy that she still gave us her loyalty up to this point, though I am so worried about her current state as of the moment. I really hope nothing bad happened to her. She's my very first friend here in Zyfford and was also the reason why we became friends with Dave's group. If not for her, I am sure my blood would still boil for the E4.It was already smoky in this part of the building so the rescuers would n

Arya exclaimed with tears in her eyes.She had been hysterical when everything had sunk in her mind. A series of sobs from her could now be heard along with the shouts of commands from the authorities as they tried to put out the fire.I should have listened to them. I should have listened to her. This shouldn't have happened. I could have helped her. If only I didn't let my pride and ego get in the way. We could have made a better plan.I tugged at my hair while still staring at the burning part of the Broadcast Room.Why didn't I listen to her? She's trying to explain, but I refused to listen. I even started hating her. Damn, I think I hate myself
