Into The Grim Soul

Chapter 1: The Scaredy-Cat

"Denver! Denver! Wake up! You're getting late to your school!"

A loud knocking and a voice like speakers that are at it's maximum volume from his bedroom door ticked his ears and strike the drums inside. Like bells, it rings, that it made Denver leap out from his bed.

"Jeez!"

He said with a sigh of discomfort while scratching his head and messing up his hair. He sat for a while on a wooden floor near his bed of Uratex foam, thinking that there are no classes today, except, there will be simultaneous events happening in the school. Like sports, talent showcase, and reading.

"Wait... No classes.."

Those words made him remember the announcement made by the SSG President, who just won his candidacy from last year's election, that every Friday is Interest Day. He said it during the flag ceremony.

"Interest Day is a day where every student can freely do any school-related activities without concerning classes. But that day can also be used to finish all school projects that are required to be complied before the deadline. " The SSG President said confidently while standing in front of the students.

Upon remembering the announcement, his heart is filled with joy and excitement as if there's a sudden burst of energy running in his blood vessels. From where he sits, he stands up energetically. Lucky him, he does not have any pending school projects.

"Alright! Let's go Friday!"

He said with heads high up and face like verdant soldier with light.

"Hurry up Den!"

"Ahhh!"

The loud voice from his eldest sister never failed to startle him. It's like a banshee has possessed her. It's like her voice can summon a ghost in front him and give him a shock of fear.

"Jeez, sister! Can you stop yelling, please!"

Rolling his eyes around and hands on both hips.

"You're the one's yelling!"

He sighed with frown and heads down.

"You're hopeless.."

"I heard that!"

Her voice echoes in his room.

"What the...."

He whispered to himself.

"I heard that too!"

It freaked him out hearing his sister reacting to h even though she is far from where he is. He knows that she went downstairs to the kitchen to help his mother prepare breakfast. Does this mean that my sister has ears inside my room? Does this mean that she heard his moans when he jerked? He looked around to see if there are hidden devices inside his room that his sister has possibly inserted. He had searched everything, but he found none. Then, he scratches his head and sighs with relief.

"Must be my imagination.."

"HURRY!"

"AHHH!"

He leaps in terror, while his sister laughs diabolically.

Will you stop that!

He angrily complained.
