Montague Academy has a perfect reputation-a famous school known for its identity as "the School for the Elites," where most of its students come from wealthy and notorious families. Nathalie had never imagined herself entering this school. But one i...

Nakabalik na ako sa harap ng nylon threads. Nylon lang ito so baka madali lang maputol.
I shook my head at that ridiculous thought.
One thing that I'm learning from this experience is to never underestimate things. Parang kanina. Akala ko sa gitna pupunta 'yung ninja pero sakin pala. Akala ko kakagat sa bait ko gaya nung ginawa nung isang robot pero nagkamali ako. Nabawasan tuloy ako ng oras.
Back to the nylon threads, hinawakan ko ang isang thread at agad na nilayo ang daliri ko nang makaramdam ako ng hapdi. Tinignan ko 'yung daliri ko at may straight line na hiwa. Blood was also oozing down my finger.
Buti na lang nakita ko 'yung nylon thread. Baka kapag nagdirediretso ako puro hiwa na ang katawan ko. Hindi pa naman ganon kakapal 'yung thread kaya mahirap makita unless malapitan.
Kinuha ko 'yung isa ko pang dagger at hiniwa ang thread. Pero napanganga ako nang makitang walang nangyari sa thread. Napatingin ako sa dagger ko at nakitang kalahati ng blade nito ay nasa lapag na. Pira-piraso na rin 'yung blade sa lapag.
What the hell?
Anong klaseng thread ito? Ang tibay naman. Siguro wala ng mabubutas na shorts or pants kapag ganitong thread ginamit. Biruin mo, kaya i-slice ang dagger. Hindi ba't ang dagger 'yung nagsaslice? Kakaiba!
So, dagger, no. Hindi eepekto blades dito.
Kinuha ko ang revolver ko at binaril ang thread. Imbes na mahiwa ay tumalbog lang ang bala sa thread na tinamaan. I sighed in disbelief. P-paano?
I can't risk my Swiss knife since blades don't work. Hindi naman pwede 'yung arrows ko kasi bali na 'yung head nito.
Dapat ba na dumaan na ako sa kabila?
I shrugged and walked the other way. Pumunta ako sa left side at naglakad. After five minutes, laking gulat ko nang makita kung nasaan na ako. Nakabalik na naman ako doon sa nylon threads. Nandito ako sa right side. Lahat ba ng daan dito paikot? Nakakahilo ah.
No choice. I need to get through these sharp threads... without being sliced, obviously.
Napaisip ako at napatingin sa watch ko. 40 minutes left. Lumakas kalabog ng dibdib ko. Kinabahan ako bigla. Makakalabas ba ako? Maybe this was a wrong decision. Baka nga hindi ako dapat sumali dito. Siguro tama nga si Dustin. I shouldn't have joined the mafia.
Now I'm facing my early death. Kapag hindi ako nakalabas within the forty minutes, I'll be dead here. Hindi ko pa alam kung marami pa akong dadaanan after nito.
Let's face it. I'm gonna die here.
Napapikit ako. I wish I hadn't joined the mafia. I wish I hadn't been kidnapped by the lunatic Conrad and that PG Leader. I wish I hadn't been curious in finding the missing pieces of my identity. I wish I hadn't met the Black Cards and that annoying Grim Penalty leader. I wish I hadn't entered Montague Academy. I wish the incident in our house didn't happen. I wish I didn't get a text from that XOXO.
