They Want Me Dead
I was having a great day with my friends at school as it was the day where the school year was about to end. We were chilling at one of the nipa huts in our school’s garden, just chit-chatting and exchanging some jokes. It was a fine, normal day, like what a typical high school student’s day would be like. As we were laughing at each other, one of my classmates approached me and said that she wanted to borrow something from me. She then escorted me back to our classroom, which is located on the second-floor building. I feel so anxious about the environment; it feels so dull and unalive. When we arrived at our classroom, I went straight to where my armchair was. It was just the two of us alone inside the four-walled classroom.
As I was about to hand her the thing that she wanted to borrow, she went to the door and closed it. I asked her why she bothered closing the door when we weren't going to be inside for long, but she didn't say anything, instead, she took something inside her bag, and as I saw a little light coming from a sharp silver knife, I stepped back and asked her what the knife was for, but she didn't say anything. I stepped back once again, but she walked straight towards me with an emotionless face. I started to panic thinking of the possibility of what she might do to me. I didn’t do anything to her and we were good friends. I shouted what was wrong with her, but she remained silent with an emotionless face. I shouted for help, but only my voice echoed inside the room. That was the only sound I heard.
I ran to the teacher's table and without hesitation, I threw all the stuff that my hand touched towards her, but she didn’t even cover herself in defense. She walks towards me slowly, like a serial killer would usually do in a horror movie. I kept telling her to stop, but she won't even listen. It looks like she’s not her real self at all. Water started forming in my eyes and was ready to fall on my cheeks anytime. I kept begging her to stop, but it was still no use at all. When she was only a meter away from me, I grabbed my teacher's monobloc chair and threw it towards her. She stumbled down, and that gave me a chance to run away and leave the room.
I ran straight to the door and, thankfully, it wasn’t locked. I didn’t even bother looking back at her and ran straight to the ground floor. I went to the ground floor, but it was too quiet. No one was around. Not a single shadow of a student was visible. There were lots of students earlier before I went upstairs, but how did this happen? They’re all gone. I turned around everywhere, hoping to find someone that might help me. It was so quiet, then I noticed a group of people who were laughing inside the nipa hut, which were my friends.
I ran towards them, asking for their help. My hands were shaking, and so were my knees. I told them that there was something wrong with one of our classmates. I expected them to worry about me, but I was wrong. After I said those words to them, they didn’t react or become worried about me at all. They were just staring at me without any emotions showing on their faces. All of a sudden, one of my friends stood up and said, "surprise!". I felt something sharp stabbing behind my back. It kept stabbing behind my back repeatedly until my whole body started to feel numb and my eyes started to blur as I lost my vision. As my eyes were about to close, I saw all of my friends starring at me and starting laughing like they’d gone crazy.

Jini's Note:
This was supposedly my entry for kuya Kudo's prompt, deciphering what our dreams are supposed to mean. But I got hooked up on writing this one, so I decided to split it into two articles, so the second article will finally be a prompt and will be submitted in a prompt factory teehee.
Thanks for stopping by and spending a minute of your time reading this uninteresting article of mine, lol. I truly appreciate your presence here.
