Chapter 69: Out From Hell
I had always been fantacizing the fact that Hamlet Creek University was the best University to ever exist in the entire scope of the city. It was declared the most prestigious University among all the other Universities not only in the city, but also in the entirety of the country as well. Yes, it indeed costs more than just livers and kidneys to study here, but it all worths the money and the sacrifices.
Yet, it did not cost the pain. And lives. And agonies. And terrible experiences. It did not cost the terrific way of tumbling down from being held high above. Based from the recent happenings, I could say that these were all the devil's work. With that, it made me think that, what if all this time, the letter 'H' from the acronym HCU did not mean 'Hamlet' at all? What if, in denouement of encryption, it meant 'Hell' instead?
Regardless, what 'H' really stood for did not matter anymore. I just wanted to get out of this school. I just wanted

It had been a dull journey to venture the curving highways exiting the Hamlet Creek University. It was about three past twelve already, and I reckoned it will take me exact two hours before reaching home. See, Cubay Subdivision is where I live, and it literally was three miles away from this school. I had my student apartment nearby, which was located at the third block of the Hamlet Villa, but I did not want to stay there alone. I mean, I had been experiencing a lot of traumas lately, so perhaps I deserve to gift myself a home vacation. Yes, you heard it right. I was planning to reward myself a home vacation, which technically meant I will be missing school tomorrow. Or later? I could not figure where to start. I knew mom and grandma were more than worried to me, and I knew to myself also that they deserve to know what had been happening to the school and to me in this past days, but I could not even begin to comprehend where should I tak

RABIYA If there was a character trait of Travis that I really admire from him and wanted to highlight, it was his genuinely concerned side. I could not begin to comprehend how did he manage to somehow be as concerned as that in that particular moment, when I, myself, was already on the peak of my panic and fear. It was the most fearful day that I had been involved into, but with him, I found every reason to be calm and easy. I was not in the position to conclude this, as I was not even sure, but if not because of him, I might have had ended in a worse situation already. That, I guarantee.
The Photo Collector Chapter 72: Hungry For Revenge
When I started the engine, and when I continued playing The Beatles’ Hey, Jude, the ambiance inside the car suddenly switched in an instant. At first it was just silent and boring. But now, it was not just that. It was now silent and boring and awkward and dark. Yes, dark. I did not know how the hell did it turned out to be dark, but it was really that way. Dark in every sense of the word.I tried to revive the dying ambiance by starting a conversation with her, but I thought it was too late. Or maybe it was really too late. but since, ‘Try and try until you die’ was what my motto in life, I insisted to try a few times again. Until it work. And in really worked.“So, do you mind if I ask how did you ended up strolling on the street under the broad moonlight?” I inquired, gathering the remaining hopes within me. I really wanted to know the reason, because as much I was concerned to her, I was also a bit worry tha

TRAVISWhat made me more angry to the council and the Hamlet University itself was the fact that they acted as if nothing had happened last night. They still had the audacity to announce the continuation of the class when they could not barely keep in touch with the police to get even the tiniest update they can get from the investigation of the murder of the two of my classmates, Jieve and LD. I wanted to despise the police. I wanted to despite the entire council, and every person working in it. I despite Noel Hummingbird for being dumb and reckless, and most of all, I despised the killer x psychopath x heartless individual who had nothing to do but to reap innocent lives off someone who were doing him no harm.I just did not know if it was still valid to remain calm and peaceful, but to me, in my case, I already lose my all of it. If there was anything I was able to feel around this time, it was nothing bu
The Photo Collector Chapter 74: Late Realization
“I don’t care, brother. I am not even afraid to die. You should be thankful if that happens. . .” I joked. It was a good joke though. It was stated in the last will and testament of our old man that whenever one of us would die, the remaining and the surviving one would take all the wealth of him. “And hello, I am more ready and prepared more than you ever know,” I said, rolling my shirt up to show him a pistol planted inside my pants’ back pocket with only the handle of the gun visible to the eye.“Did you just brought a gun with you?” Brother walked towards me, taking a turn back to the south instead of continuing to the west as it was where the loo was located. “You are just making yourself vulnerable of being called out as the suspect,” he shouted as he ran across the patio of the fountain.“Oh come on, bro? Why would they mistaken me as the killer? I mean, all right
The Photo Collector Chapter 75: Officially Best Friends
Just when the realization hits me hard, I quickly went off the building. I ran down the spiraling slippery and wet steps of the stairs, and went directly to the entrance. There, none of the people I always see almost everyday, including the janitor, the clerks, and even the teachers residing in the rooms nearby where nowhere to be found. I did not have time to fed my mind with more and more and increasing amount of curiosity, so I just let it all slip away and vanish in one sweep of the air.I exit the building, and while panting and running after my own breath, I thought of giving myself a few seconds of rest. With my tongue out and with my sweats falling like a rain over my bare and oily face, I continued the run after giving my self the chance to let out a few deep breathers. I sped to the covered gym, to the volleyball gym specifically--the one existing between the mega library and the infirmary, and found myself a little information there. On the outskirts
The Photo Collector Chapter 76: Fuck Them All!
“Oh, wow, okay, okay, calm down son of Satan. You know, I am still in the process of coping up with the good news. Okay, whoo! I need a good breather.” Rabiya took a deep breathe in a clumsy and hysterical manner. She inhaled deeper, perhaps deeper than me every time I did the same thing, and exhaled deeper even more. There was a hint of a smile on her lips, and the fact that the way it curved in an inverted half moon only showed how she sucked at containing the joy on her face. But, just a quick realization, wasn’t that a little too much to react for that simple declaration? I mean, all right all right, we were friends from now on--best friends even--but didn’t she just went over board in controlling her emotion?As I tried my best to ease her and calm her down so that we can now finally start the conversation about so many to mention things, Chuck chimed in in our one sided story telling. With a dry throat and a husky and raspy voice, h

CHUCKIf there was anything I have ever noticed between Rabiya and now my new best friend Travis, it was the fine gap that existed between Rabiya’s frustration and Travis’ anger. Both of which were placed at different points of which they were entirely opposite to one another, but somehow, between them was a long and thin line that represented the similarities that both of them had in common. And what are these similarities called? Well, it’s the long for justice, and revenge.As we remained standing meters and meters away from the group of protesters who, even up until now was still ignored by the faculty especially the most needed person with whom the the protest was delivered for, the Vice Principal, we nonchalantly casted a rippling air off our lungs in an unplanned but simultaneously manner, that served as the seal to our conversation. In most usual of times, this already meant that we
