Chapter 7

"Sorry. Sorry, I'm Clarence Caren, it's like a school newspaper --" I hadn't finished my sentence as they left. I feel like I'm about to lose my courage.

But I won't do that, no matter how hard it is, I will find a way to find out why Rommel Reyes died and why his body was in the swimming pool.

Who killed? What does JLN mean?

"Are you crazy? Do you want to die?" my girlfriend asked me. I cannot blame him. I'll transfer schools just to find out why Rommel died. I need to know the cause of his death.

Two months were almost wasted before I was finally transferred to Reyes Montesorri Academy. And in these two months, I have not stopped knowing the whole truth.

"Stop what you're doing! It's not going anywhere!" I was brought back to reality when I heard someone talking behind me. Straight into the eyes if he can see. "Ahh. I was just doing research for a school newspaper--"

"You won't like what you find." and with that, he left. I tried to chase him because he was so fast I couldn't catch him.

What is this class hiding?

"Clarence, be afraid of what you put in. Avoid it while it's early

Suddenly, what an old man told me the day before came back to me.

I just shook my head and went to class. The day passed like a normal day. The teacher will teach, there will be a test and sometimes there will be a recitation.

I hid all my belongings in my bag and was about to leave the classroom when I heard a loud scream that made me turn around. "What's your problem? Didn't I tell you to copy me earlier? A not very tall man said to a crying woman still sitting in a chair, leaning forward.

"I-I don't want to be caught by Madame. They'll scold me, Mama--" the woman didn't finish as the man simply grabbed her collar and slapped her in the face. of a woman with a thick book on the table next to it.

"Are you afraid that your mother will scold you but are not afraid of me?" The man said while continuing to hit the woman in the face with the thick book until her face turned red. A lot of people are watching. But none of them intended to leave, they looked like they were in a movie theater. I hesitated to leave because the book might hit me too, but I got that out of my mind and was about to walk away when I felt someone grab my wrist. A tight grip.

"Don't get into trouble. Don't wallow in it because you might fall into a curse and you won't be able to get out?" I opened my eyes wide when I heard it. He looked at the woman who just spoke but she stopped.
