Mystery of the Locker

"I still can't get over it. You won the competition Rain!" Steph said excitedly.

"The section is so proud of you Rain." Primo added.

"She will not be the president of this section for nothing." Alex replied.

"Don't over reacted guys hahaha, but still thank you guys for the support." I joyfully replied.

"Congratulations Ms. Del Valle." Mr. Garcia said as he walks inside the classroom.

"Thank you Sir." I replied.

"Ms. President, please state who is the absent for today." Mr. Garcia

"Only Jenny Del Mundo is absent sir. Everyone is present." I answered.

"Why is Ms. Jenny is absent today, she also didn’t show up on the contest? Does anyone of you know about it?”

“No Sir.”

‘Okay, if that so let's begin the classes."

Hours later.

"Okay, class dismissed."

That’s the last words of our teacher for his class.

It's already break time when my friends and I decided to return the borrowed books in the library but then a sudden loud scream is heard.

“Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!”

We rushed toward the locker room where we saw the transferee student standing in front of her locker and because of our curiosity, we gently walk closer to her.

Shocked and trembles travels in our veins as we saw a head covered with blood inside her locker.

"It's, it's Jenny's head!" Alex shouted with a shaky voice.

We run outside the locker room with because of adrenaline rush. We went straight ahead in the classroom panting and crying.

Everyone keeps questioning us what happened but we can’t answer them fluently.

"J-jenny i-is de-e-d-dead. Eunice, E-Eunice ." Steph said nervously.

"What dead? What are you saying?" Primo asked curiously.

“What Eunice?” James added.

"Eunice killed her! You must call the teachers!" I said hysterically.

Shocks and fear are written to everyone eyes because of the news. Our teacher arrived and asks what happened.

"We still don't know what happened. Can you please elaborate us what really happened?" Mr. Garcia asked.

"We heard a loud scream coming from the locker room so we followed it. There we saw Eunice standing in front of her locker." Steph answered.

"Eunice is that’s true?" said the teacher.

"I just opened my locker because I need to change to my PE uniform. But when I opened it, my locker is..is f-full of b-blood and and annnnd." Eunice replied and started to cry.

"Okay we will investigate this incident. But make sure that if you have discovered anything about this matter, please cooperate with us immediately." teacher said.

……..

Eunice is absent for days because of the incident. But for today she went to school after she cleansed her name.

"Don't you have any conscience on what you did? Why don't you confess that you killed them?" Rebecca said to

Eunice but she remained silent.

"Why don't you say something? Don’t you feel any conscience now?” Steph added while throwing a crumpled paper on her.

“Steph stop it, don’t join them” I mumbled to her.

“What? No! This matter is disturbing and scary (sniff), what if we are the next (sniff)” Steph said.

I just stared at her as she started to cry. (sigh)

"You are the only one who has grudges in them in this classroom. You are the one who have the reason to kill them." James said.

"I told you I didn't do anything. I would not do it to them." Eunice told them as she was staring to James.

"That's enough. Can't we just move on from what happened?" I said as I interrupt them from their argument.

They still what to argue but after I interrupted them the stop already and sit back to their sits.

"If only I could bring back time. I'm not a weirdo and I am not a murderer." Eunice mumbled.

.......

Yesterday, teachers announced that we will not be having our classes for today because of the incident happened.

I’m still laying on my bed and still wants to sleep but the vibration of my phone keeps me awake and when I opened our group chat someone called me.

"Hey! Iris! Have you heard the news?' Steph asked.

"What news?" I answered lazily.

"The news about Eunice, she committed suicide." Steph replied."

“WHAT? Are you sure about that?”

“That’s what they said but someone said she was killed I don’t know the truth too.”

“What really happened?”

“Alex found Eunice in the classroom coated with blood and a stab on her heart” Steph explained.

“Then?”

“Then she call the faculty staff, you know she is a student assistant that’s why she’s there. Then they saw that Eunice is holding a knife on her right hand.”

“Oh My Gosh! Why would she do that?”

“I don’t know too, and the investigator said that the body is long dead if they estimated it, it almost a day since she were dead, maybe 5:30 – 6:00 pm the incident happened.” Steph added.

“Gosh this is alarming.”

“Yeah, you know what’s really alarming?”

“What?”

“The right hand of Eunice that holding the knife was free from any blood, only the knife has blood and that’s really confusing.”

“Really? Gosh it’s so frightening how about Alex?”

“Yes that’s what I know and Alex is fine she was dismissed after some interview of the investigator” Steph replied.

“Okay if you know anything inform me okay?” I said.

“Yeah, sure bye.”

“Bye."

I'm still puzzled. I don't know what to do. A death of my three classmates in this school year, what is happening?

Everyone in the school mourned the death of our classmates, Mia, Jenny and Eunice. The reasons of their death are still mystery. But everyone conclude that it is an accident but who can tell. The room is filled with sadness as the silence roamed around the room. Everything changed. The atmosphere began to change and there's nothing we can do about it.
