"Be careful who you trust, the devil was once an angel. "

※※※※※※

One week have past since the day Amari introduced me her Best friend doll. It still creeps me out every time I see her hugging it and sometimes talking to that small doll. She sometimes utter words that only her could understand so I made sure to stay away from her.

But not today. 

Our loving teacher in English just group us for an activity. Me, Amari, Jungkook, Lucia, and Asyla are in my group. I was supposed to be happy since I got Jungkook with us but Amari just can't stop talking about her doll and it annoys me. 

"Okay class, since the group members are finalize, I will give you 45 minutes to think and do your poem. Any topic and you must put title, okay. Begin."

Everyone stood up and moved to their respective group members. Jungkook arrange the chairs into circle so we all face each other. Lucia sat down at my left side, Jungkook at my right, Amari is next to Jungkook then Asyla.

I can feel my heart thumping fast, first because of Jungkook, second because of Amari. I know the time is running fast but I can't think of a topic for our poem.

"So, what are we gonna do now? Stare at each other until one of us melted?"

Lucia, surely interrupted my thoughts. She's inspecting her nails painted with nude color cuticle and she glance at Amari.

"And, put away that creepy doll, Amari! Please? Her pink eyes are annoying me."

"Well, your eyes is more annoying."

It's Asyla, why is my group consist of weird people? I watch Asyla and Lucia do their staring fight. I can see imaginary electricity sparking between their stares.

"Hey, stop it! We need to do the poem. Save that for later."

Both of them broke the stares at the same time. I glance at Amari and she's damn busy again scribbling on her notebook, so I did not disturb her. 

"So what topic, Jungkook?"

I asked him nervously. Can you blame me? He is my ultimate crush for Christ sake and seated next to me!

"How about nature?"

Asyla, gave out her opinion. Well, it's not bad since it is easier to make a poem about nature.

"But, how about love? Relationship or broken hearts?"

It's Jungkook. Well, not a bad idea too,  but I guess everyone already thought about it.

"It's not bad Jungkook, but that topic is very common."

He just nodded his head and started to write also on his paper. 

"I guess, we should use attitude as a topic. You know, every one has different attitude."

"Yes, and the bad attitude goes to you."

What the heck? These two are in for a fight. How can they think about their personal issues than our activity? Good lord, my good grades is at edge of the abyss. They need to stop.

"Okay, okay. Let's just make our own poem and then share to everyone and choose which of it we will use."

We became quiet, I drained my brain thought of the topic but hell nothing helpful could be found. I hate it! But the most hateful thing here is only me and Jungkook are trying best to do the activity. We are doom! Hopeless and dead! 

Now, I just write down all the things my brain can give me. I am not even sure if the words were rhyme. The group just needed to show something to our teacher. Pass or not, at least we tried. 

"Okay class! Time is up!"

Fuck! Just fuck and we're fucked up! The 45 minutes already done and I haven't finish yet my poem. I did also checked Jungkook's work but he too did not finish his. I am just praying that our group would be the last one to perform so I still have enough time to finish it. 

"Okay, so now group 4 get in the front and show us your poem."

What? Group 4? Who is that group?

"Group 4 make it fast. JUNGKOOK, AMARI, LUCIA, ASYLA AND ZEPHYR."

Oh! Holy fuck! It's us! What are we gonna do? Shit happens early in the morning huh! 

We had no choice but to stand up and go in front. We stayed there looking at each other except for Lucia who's still busy with her fingernails.

"Start now, group 4. Is there anything wrong?"

We're doom. I cannot recite my poem since it wasn't polish and some of it are not rhym. Jungkook was also not confident with his poem. I took a deep sigh and meet my teacher's gaze.

"Ma'am the truth is--" I did not finish my sentence when Amari take two steps forward.

"I'll do it."

I saw how she grinned then glanced at us so we nodded. At least, she could done something to saved our asses. I just hope that her poem is sensible. She turned again at my classmates then started to read her work. 

Her work that I never thought would engraved deepest fear and would never ever forgotten in my entire life .

Vanity

You whom now I see
You'll go insane from vanity
You'll see yourself as others do
All your looks are gone from you.

What was gone and now is true
All your beauty will flee from you.
You look in the mirror, yourself to tend
Your youthful face has come to an end.
Your mighty ego now is broken
You'll go insane now in the same token. I take this all away from you
Because of all the things you do.

Once you thought you were so great
I bring you down to meet your fate
The smell of stench is in the air
In you're mind you'll go insane

Vanity is now your pain.

She clapped her hands hapilly after she recited her poem. No one dared to speak, not even our teacher. I should've stopped her from reciting. However, I didn't have any clue that she came out with that idea. 

Until Rapmon, stood up and speak."She casted a spell Ma'am, it's not a poem! It sounded like a curse! She cursed us!"

Half of the class panicked but half of it just laughed.

"Com'on Rapmon! We're living in the modern world. Maybe she just love to explore creepy things on the internet and use it now to impress us. The rhyme is great, by the way."

It's Jimin, he show a thumbs up to Amari. yet, she look so sad when I tried to look at her face.

"Yeah! The rhyming is great though it sounds creepy!" Sally exclaimed. Then the whole class calm down.

"Guys! I did not get this from anywhere! Camille taught me this!"

I felt Asyla gripped my arm, I glanced at her and she looked so scared "Why does she always open up about her! I hate her! Ugh!"

The light suddenly turned off. Asyla's gripped at my arm turned into tight embrace. I heard the terrifying screamed of my classmates and the sound of the chairs screeching and falling on the ground. Our teacher tried to calm us down but she can't because every one is damn scared, even me. Until, slowly the screaming of my classmates dissappeared. All I can hear is everyone's heavy breathing. Afterwards, we heard a loud thud somewhere inside our room. We couldn't locate where it was, We couldn't seen anything. Our room doesn't have window since it has air condition and no other lights can get in aside from the florescent light in this classroom.

After few moments that felt like forever, finally, the light turned on. We all sigh in relief but a loud scream of monica disturb us. She is pointing at the corner of the classroom and there we saw one of our classmate sitting down leaning on the wall. I guess, she fainted because of terror. Lucia, ran to her since they are best friends but she screamed and fell off the cement,  covering her mouth while pointing at Sally. 

I walk closer, with my heart banging wild. Her long black hair is covering her face, she look lifeless. But what got my attention is her skin on her arms and legs. It get so thin and wrinkled, Like an elder. I walk closer and tried to removed her hair and when I see how her frightening appearance, I automatically fell off the cement covering my mouth, with my eyes enlarge. I like to cry scream but no sound is coming out from my mouth.

Her pale mouth is wide open, also her lifeless  widened eyes are tearing blood trailing down her cheeks. And the most disturbing thing is her face skin shrinked too, like some kind of a monster sucked all her blood. Therefore, how can it be possible to happen this fast? I don't know what to think now. I cannot remove my stare from her until her forehead fumed and burnt. It left a scar on her forehead that become visible when the black smoke totally gone.

It is an Upside down Cross!

Jimin walks toward us and  help Lucia to stand up. I also felt a hand grabbed my shoulders and when I looked up, it is Cjay, with his calm but sad eyes staring at me. I suddenly remember Amari, did she somehow really cursed us? Why? I glare at her with my confuse eyes and I don't know but I actually run to her and get the paper and tore it into tiny pieces. After that Amari fainted. 

No body move to help her, even me. But Rapmon, as the classroom's leader go towards her way and carry her bridal style and take her out of the room.

"Okay, class. Let's pack up and leave the room. Don't tell anyone about this. I will talk to the principal."

All my classmates move quickly to grabbed their things and get out. But me, I cannot move, not an inch. I gaze again to Sally, lifelessly at the corner looking so gross and pitiful at the same time. She doesn't deserve to die this young. She's nice after all.

"Quit looking at her Zeph. She's gone and we can't do anything about it." Cjay, spoke beside me carrying my bag.

"Do you think Amari, really did cursed us?"

He sigh first then look me in the eye.

"I'm not sure. All I know is, we need to be extra careful now. Everything that have happened today were very odd."

He grabbed my wrist and pulled me out that classroom. Leaving our lifeless classmate behind, whereas fear chased me and go through the deepest core of myself.

※※※※※※
