KENDIE DIONNE WEST

"Really, you gave your virginity to Lawrence?" I confusedly asked Xenon, my best friend.

She nodded as she pouted.

I immediately covered my mouth. "So, it's not a prank?" I arched my brows. I really can’t believe she has already given her body to her boyfriend.

"Not that I'm interfering, Ses. But Lawrence and you are only two months old. Isn't it too early? I mean, you didn't give your virginity to your ex-boyfriend for almost two years, then you gave it to him? Not that I don’t trust him, ha? It is just like, I haven't seen him yet, so it is really hard to believe," I said before folding my arms.

She grinned bitterly. "Kendie, just support me. There's nothing you can do, I've already given it. It's already done, okay? And you know what, it's delicious," she almost whispered. "Heaven feels. I guess you should try it with your boyfriend too,” she continued as she smirked.

"Never!" I suddenly said as I rolled my eyes.

"You and Ferry have been in a relationship for a long time. It's been almost a year, and as you said, he wants you to have sex, right? But you don't want to and you aren't ready? Or are you just choosy? Maybe now is the right time. Best friend goals, dzuh?" She teased me.

I raised my left eyebrow at her "You know what, even if that's delicious, I won't do it. I don't want to ruin my future. If Ferry really loves me, he'll wait no matter how long," I meaningfully said.

"Oh, the virgin girl!" He clapped and shouted. "Bongga, you're 20-years-old already but you're still a virgin until now. Stay strong to your vagina, Ses!" she was teasing me so I immediately slapped him hard on her right arm.

"Ouch, Ms. Virgin!" He laughed out loud.

"You know what, I really wanted to slap you on your face! Stop that now, or else . . . " I threatened her.

"Is your Daddy already here? Can you call? I have to go home, it's already six o'clock. For sure, my mother will be mad at me again," I nervously said as I looked at my watch.

We are now in the guard house of our school, the Euphoria International School, owned by my boyfriend's family. And Daddy’s Xenon is a Security Guard here so we’re both waiting for him here in the gate.

"I don't know, I've called him many times earlier, but he is not answering my call. Maybe he just went somewhere to check the classrooms. Besides, my brother hasn't passed by yet, has he? What if we will look for him? Maybe we can meet my brother there too," she suggested, so I stared at her because I was chasing my curfew in our house, but eventually, I agreed.

"We will just take you home, don’t worry," she said before we walked away from the Guard House to look for his Dad.

A few minutes of walking around, we still couldn’t find where he was. We are already stranded here in the farthest Department of the campus, the Engineering Department, but he is really nowhere to be found.

"Wait, I’ll try to call my brother." We immediately stopped walking and I just let her do what she wanted—call his brother, Ginger.

I looked for a seat to rest. I leaned my head against the wall with my eyes closed, but I also woke up immediately when I heard Xenon's loud footsteps.

"Argh!" She wiped her face in annoyance.

"Why?" I arched my brows at her.

"I also can't contact my brother. What's wrong with them? Why aren't they answering my calls? And why don't they leave the car’s key at the Guard House so we can go home already?” she asked before sitting down next to me. She is really annoyed with what is happening right now, and so am I.

“If we should have just taken a taxi earlier, we may be home already,” I said sarcastically.

"Why would I take a taxi if we have our own car," he groaned.

I just scratched my head. If she wasn't just my friend, I would have left her here already. He enjoys strangling. I really wanted to slap her in order for her to wake up in reality that we wouldn't find her Dad already. Also, it’s getting dark.

"Let's just separate so we can find her easier. And Ginger, just keep on calling him. There are no more people around, hello? It's unfortunate that he's still roaming around here on campus," I said stupendously.

She did not answer, and just started walking. So I just gasped and scratched my head.

She took big steps toward the High School Department building. So I laughed as I walked towards the Education Department, our building.

Xenon and I are third year Education Students, and our major is Mathematics. Yes, it is not obvious, but we are both love numbers. Love is different from good, huh? We just want to face our fear. We were both afraid of numbers when we were in high school, but we decided to take BSED Mathematics. And that's the best decision we have made in our entire life, to face what we fear in life.

Ferry Euphoria, my boyfriend, is also our classmate. He just shifted course because of me. He used to be an Engineering student, like Kuya Ginger, Xenon’s brother, but he is a 4th-year already, a graduating student.

After a couple of minutes I didn't realize that I had reached the front of our building. And first, I was hesitant to find him here since the whole place was quiet and there were no more people. But I often see Uncle Knoxx here when I go home. I don’t know, but I have the gut that there is something that I don’t know or Xenon doesn’t know. It’s just as easy for me to notice the actions of people familiar to me, and Uncle Knoxx’s actions lately are quite different.

Yes, he may always be here because of Xenon, but I don’t feel it in that way. I didn't want to think about anything, but I couldn't stop myself.

So I unknowingly climbed the stairs to the second floor of our building.

The Education Department building is large because it has the most students in the whole campus. So the building of each major is separate from each other. And the mathematics building has only three floors. Since it has the fewest students in all majors. Maybe they're also afraid of numbers, just like us, but it's also good not to be too noisy around when it's not class hours.

On the third floor is the classroom for third and fourth year students, then on the second floor are the first and second years. Then on the ground floor are the offices of our Instructors.

I just walked to the front of each room and noticed that all the doors were locked already. Until I got to the stairs on the other side of the building and went up to the third floor.

Our building is not scary because it is new and airy. But I couldn’t help but be nervous for no apparent reason. I'm not scared, but I feel like I'm out of breath because of nervousness. But I still chose to continue with hesitation.

Until I get to the front of our classroom. I've checked all the doors and just like in the second floor is already locked. So I was about to leave the place when I heard something creepy.

I looked around but saw no one. Until I heard something seem to have fallen into the classroom of the fourth year.

I hurried there, and there I heard again the creepy sound. Someone was moaning in the room and I don't know who, but I'm pretty sure it's human. Yes . . .

I carefully walked closer to the door and tried to turn the door knob, but it’s locked. They might have locked it inside to make it look like no one was inside already. So I tried to find a way to find out who was inside.

That's why this classroom is the only one with curtains now because something strange is happening inside. Gosh!

I don't want to interfere because it's a very private thing, but I couldn't stop myself. I need to know who they are. My soul cannot rest.

Until I found an unlocked window. I opened it carefully so as not to make any noise.

When I opened it, I immediately pulled back the curtain and almost screamed when I saw who they were.

I immediately closed my eyes tightly and covered my mouth because I couldn't really believe what I saw. But I immediately took a deep breath and took out my phone to film them.
