Our Exams would be starting today, but with the situation going on, I don't think there's a chance that the exam would still be holding, though we attended school today, but the look of the environment shows that chances of proceeding with this exam is really slim, like it's never going to hold again.
This morning, I heard the News in the television, the incident happening has been reported and the principal has been called for some questioning, with his absence, we're not to be taking the exam, but if he happens to return in time, then there's a 50-50% chance that it's going to hold.
Few people were missing, few people weren't present, 10 students actually, 10 students that never showed up at my home with the others yesterday, where might they be?, Are they not taking this examinations with us or what?.
I decided to ask around, but no one seems to know why they're not here, until Micheal approached me. “ I saw Abigail on my way to school, and also Aiden, turns out both of them are no longer our students, they have changed school and doesn't look like they'll be coming back.....”
Michael reported to me, that explains their absence yesterday, I was wondering whether they did given up on the fight and waiting to be killed, now I have gotten information that they're no longer part of us, I think I will have to see how it turns out.
The 10 of them were at the room of horror last night, how come they already changed school?, Maybe they planned this, planned to escape without signalling Death's attention or something. What if that's an escape for us?, What if it's our chance of averting this?, Tonight will give me answers to my question, if they're not present in tonight meeting, then I'm probably leaving this school just like them, letting the others know that it was also our only escape, I trust in there decisions now, I just hope they never fail.
I went and passed out the News with the others, telling them that our friends are no longer part of us, they've decided to take their own part, if this works, then we all should find ourselves somewhere else to register, even if it means that we're all gonna be missing our first papers for this central exam.
Checking from the seats to see who our next victims were, it happens to be two candidates who are no longer here with us, we don't know how Death actually picks her victims, since she's done taking those on the front roles away, we don't know which extreme part she's going to be starting next, whether from the right hand extreme or from the left, either seat, those that were meant to be there was no more here with us, and the closest person we've to fall victim now was Asher, I wonder how this was going to work out, but based on the idea that crossed my mind, I was never going to share it with Asher, or else things might go bad for everyone, he'll definitely react negatively to the News.
It's past noon, the principal is not yet back, the investigation taking too long than it have to, I think. We never left the school though, the teachers seems like they wasn't themselves, kinda scared about the things happening too, but they're just trying to pretend and believe that it was nothing, just like the principal has confirmed in the previous days.
They can just talk softly about this, convincing themselves that it's nothing, they just don't know the kind of traumatic experience we've been having every night, the guys trying to solve the puzzle and gets things back on track while the girls are kind of living in fear of the night and in trauma.
Should I ask my parents to change me into another school?, Would it really save me and my classmates?, Would it stop Death Day's attacks and keep her at bay?. That was the questions in my mind, but can I get the answers now?, No, instead I am making a gamble, I'm gambling on tonight's incident, if the students who have departed the school ends up showing up again tonight, then it's of no use, but if they go absent, if they're absent, then that's our calling for freedom, an escape from this traumatic situation.
The day was spent as a silent one, everyone still living in fear of what's coming, the exam didn't hold, rather, it was stalled, with the principal absent and they candidates going through chaos, they knew we were not in the right minds to write such a highly examination as this, so it was postponed.
Getting home, I met with another person who was recommended for me by my parents, my parents was there, and a Rev father was with them, did they remember what happened to the last person?, He was a fake, who knows this Rev father is too.
I could have just walked past them, but I know they're distressed too, they're just trying to protect me from what's coming, seeing what their only son go through every morning, I totally understand them, but spending money to fix me on fakes, that's not acceptable.
“ I don't actually know what you're thinking son, but I have this believe that I can offer you some help..... I'm not promising to get you free, but just feel like I have nothing to do here than deliver a message.....”
What's he talking about?, I was just looking at him, my parents by his side, shock and sadness mixed on their faces too like the Rev father can't possibly get me out of this.
“ Here's the thing son, this is not something to run away from, to me, it looks like there's no external direction on how to escape from this, but here's the message I have for you..... You're the one to save your friends, don't let them down.....”
