CHAPTER 7: FINDERS KEEPERS.

1.


You would always think that this school has no bad students, right? Well, you are wrong. Everyone would go to something without the other’s consent. They steal and steal until the person they have stolen has nothing left. And you know what they say when they find something that went missing? “Finders keepers.”


But there is one thing a guy can ask about Lax as he opens his phone;

“Is Lax dangerous?” Seriously where’d he get that information from? As I said, it came from the person’s phone.


Someone posted an image from social media. It is about Lax being a serial killer, and a reason why he’s covering his identity. I mean that might be true… yeah. LAX BEING A kIlLeR?!?!?! IMpOsSiBlE!!! Yeah. And the fact that the person who published the information is Rick, makes sense.


Rick posted a picture (an edited one) showing a masked man holding a knife as the man entered the school’s campus at night, with the caption of;

“Lax is a very dangerous serial killer! He is hiding something like his face, so that his identity will NOT be exposed! He might be Kio the killer or El Assio or The Undead Luxas!!! Share this post for awareness and a permission to investigate the man’s identity and its crime history. He might be something.”


REMIND YOU! Rick posted that to spread false information and let anyone expose Lax, but he guessed it RIGHT! Oh No!! LAX BEING ThEuNdEaD?!?! THAT IS fAlSe!!! Yeah… sarcasm. THE FONT dIfFeReNcE!!!


Well basically, the plan was not placed into one of the plans ABCD, because it suddenly came into Trick’s mind after the planning to the crowd. But he will do plan B if that plan fails miserably. That is Rick’s second Trick for my boy Laxative.

Everyone saw the pic, and began to avoid Lax at all cost. The small seniors feared him, and the big seniors prepared for a fight as they saw him. A guy with a half-colored mask is a dangerous bitch? Impossible!


Everything felt bad for Lax that day, until Ezra came to rescue him from hell. She told him that she had mass reported the post, and now, the social media moderator began to delete the post for false information. But the principal and Mrs. Roma saw it, will he be in trouble? No obviously, he got proof that the pic was edited. THE PIC WAS OBVIOUS THAT IT’S EDITED. That made Luxas let his guard down against Trick. Lax has morality, which is why he only kills anyone who messes up with him. He’s like karma and revenge but in a human form.


As the anxiety of Lax began to settle down, he suddenly overheard a group of girls talking about the undead’s comeback. They said,

“I once dreamt of the undead wearing something that looks like a mask, I was not scared at first, until he took off his mask showing his scary scar,” they continued, “do you think that the undead is here with us?” This makes Luxax anxious and more paranoid for his identity.


His identity might be exposed, and he will be thrown to jail just for his future inmates to bully and torture him until he’s weak. This is why he’s scared for his identity to be shown, but he still needs some blood though.

“Lost and found, I.D. With the name of Azul de Azulo, please approach the lost and found area to retrieve your lost item.” The speaker’s pager said to the microphone.

“Are there thieves in this school, though?” Lax asked Ezra,

“Yes, sadly. We have that one Russian classmate who lost their money because someone stole them.”

”How much did he lose though?” Lax asked,

“He was stolen twice, he lost 1,500 first, which made Mrs. Roma enter our room for inspection. He then lost 750 next, which made him very stressed about it.” Ezra continued. “He hoped that the person who stole his money would receive long term bad luck.” The incident happened before Lax transferred schools.


As their conversation finished, the campus bell then began to ring, signaling that the class had finally started, and the teacher would enter the classroom. It’s so obvious; I don’t think I need to explain why the bell rang. They then began to sit on their proper chairs before their teacher entered the room.


“The subject for today is Math, again. Before we can start our discussion, did you all have your white short folder for your clearance’s form? If so, approach me as I call your name.” That made Lax anxious. So he asked Ezra,

“Ezra, do you have an extra short folder? I forgot to bring one...” Ezra nodded and gave him a short-white folder. As the teacher screamed, “Lax” our main character then began to stand up.


At the time when he opened the white folder to see how many blanks there were in his clearance form, he was surprised to see many shits in it. He needs a signature for every subject like “MATH, SCIENCE, FILIPINO, COMPUTER, ENGLISH, MAPEH, ARALING PANLIPUNAN, ESP, and TLE.” That was the first section of the form. The second section of the form is full of concerning blanks that should be signed but gladly, there are also club blanks that you can put “N/A” on even if you joined the club or not, no one gives a shit about clubs. The third section is the hardest of them all. It contains blanks that SHOULD be signed like, “THE REGISTRAR OFFICE, THE GUIDANCE, THE CASHIER, THE CLINIC, THE CANTEEN?, THE CUSTODIAN, and more to come.” Gladly, Mr. Z decided to sign them all to let their concerns down. He said that they should be concerned about their grades. But why though? If we cannot fill up the form with signatures, we will not be able to take our final exam. This is so confusing. Class dismissed.

“Where is my I.D.?” Ezra asked me. Someone had stolen her Identification card. She then went to the Guidance to tell Mrs. Roma about the issue, she was worried because of the “No I.D, no signing of Clearance”


“Are you sure that someone stole your I.D? Are you sure that you didn’t misplace it?” Mrs. Roma asked Ezra at the guidance office.

“Yes, I put my I.D. in my bag because it is so itchy to wear it on my neck. I am sorry if I didn’t wear it while being on campus. I had red itchy marks on the back of my neck that the I.D. strap given to me.”

“It’s okay, I am just going to look at the Lost and Found section of the room, and I am going to call you via the campus’ speaker if your I.D has been found by us or someone surrendered it to us.” The sentence Mrs. Roma said to Ezra made her heart calm down. Ezra left the room, and instantly went to the canteen with her friends Zeddy and Lax to eat for lunch because anxiety cannot feed you.


In the canteen, Lax ate Betamax—A Filipino delicacy that contains blood of an animal, you know why. Eating that food also makes Lax feel +1 younger to be honest. Zeddy ate powdered chocolate with rice. And Ezra ate ice with anxiety all together—the perfect duo.

”That shitty thief will get exposed” Ezra whispered before putting a hollow cylinder of ice into her mouth. The looks of her looks worn off, and I can see her eye bags forming—the black type of eye bags.


Ezra doesn’t know that the undead saw the whole thing in process. He saw a boy wearing a blue sweater grab something from Ezra’s bag while she was doing something. Lax didn’t tell the information to Ezra, he just wanted to see her reaction to the plot twist.


The rest of the day went well, we got a bunch of our clearance signed, got to learn anything, and got to learn how to keep an ultimate secret. Lax had seen The Boy in a Blue Sweater attempt to steal Ezra’s pen, but failed. Lax laughed, sending the Boy away from the area.
