SHOTGUN [Part1]

[1]

The warm air lightly touches my skin as I wiped a thin film of sweat from my forehead. I almost forgot the reason I was here at school. Oh yeah, it's our Foundation Day and seniors are required to be in attendance. I sighed and shook my head. If I had not gone to school, I could have been asleep by now. It's a quarter past three and yet the school program hasn't started. I'm starting to get bored being alone in our gloomy classroom where numerous hauntings have been reported. I mentally laughed and shook my head. Why am I scaring myself? Silly me.

I stood up and took my bag. I dusted my uniform and headed out the door to look for someone to talk to. Now, where on earth would I find my mentally challenged cool friends? Maybe by the library, studying. But then, who in their right minds would be studying when you dan't have classes for a week? Maybe they're at the canteen, eating to their hearts' content. Or maybe, they're at the faculty, having a lively chat with our teachers, those little suckers. Or they must have gone home, and I'm forever alone.

I reached the mini-park behind our classroom building and sat there. I wrapped my arms around my legs and watched the little ants scuttle by my foot. I played with one, blocking its way with a little stick I picked up the ground. Now, I was seated facing the wall of our building, in case a classmate would wander about in our room.

Loud music was booming from the stage across the campus. So loud that I could even feel the rock I sit on throb to the beat. I heard faint footsteps behind me. I did not bother checking who was it since a lot of students usually pass this way.

The footsteps began to subside. They have gone to another direction. I looked up at our classroom window but then I never saw anything because everything went black.

Crocky-Monster

It has been all over the news, a giant saltwater crocodile was caught on the Agusan Marsh at Bunawan, Agusan del Sur. Pretty creepy, if you ask me.

Lolong, as this crocodile is called, is a 21-foot male specie which was said to attack carabaos in the marsh. It was also reported that a man was missing due to him being attacked by this croc.

And as a proud niece, I am happy to say that my uncle from the Palawan Wildlife Rescue Center (Crocodile Farm) was one of those who helped capture the beast. Though he was credited wrongly, still, my family (excluding me) was proud.

No, I am not bitter, yes, I feel bored about it.
