Chapter 1 – HOW COULD THIS BE?
Alpha was silently praying that her Chemistry class would soon be over. She was so tired. She'd never slept for so long, maybe a good two or three hours only before her alarm clock woke her up for a new, refreshing day. But, she, on the other hand, was not at all refreshed nor revitalized. She had stayed up late just to finish her algebra project, which she really hated making because she's not at all a big fan of math, particularly geometric algebra. To add to her dismay at the moment, her eyelids were not all helping up. They kept on falling to her drowsy eyes that only urged her more to get some relaxing nap.
She was half-listening to her teacher in front of her who was still babbling some chemical formulae in front of the whole class, when she stifled another sleepy moan.
"When will this end? After 48 years?" She asked herself jokingly.
"Lithium fluoride is LiF… NaCl is obviously sodium chloride, more popularly known as table salt," her old Chemistry teacher went on.
A few more moments of struggling to keep awake, the school bell suddenly…
RING! RING! RING! Dismissal time. Which only means…
"At last!" I'm going home now and have some BIG sleep!
Even before the teacher dismissed them, and calls it a day, Alpha already got up from her armchair and headed for the door. Unfortunately, and much to her disappointment, her name was suddenly called from behind.
"Ms. Alpha Karu? May I have a moment with you, please?" It was her teacher. Millions of what-did-I-do thoughts swiftly sprang into her deadbeat mind. Now what? Did do something wrong? Had she seen me moaning and wiping my tears off for the umpteenth time?
"Yes, ma'am?" Her classmates were already streaming out off the classroom.
"I've heard from one of your classmates (damn classmates) that you've already read Paul Coelho's The Alchemist. Is that true?"
"Well, yes ma'am. It's actually quite of fascinating and totally inspiring. Full of deep understanding, too." Oh, I thought I'd go detention for today. Whew!
"Is it? I'd always dreamt of reading it some day. All of my colleagues are encouraging me to read it. Well anyway, where did you get it yourself? Did you bought it, or just borrowed?"
"Actually, I've gotten it from the college library, ma'am."
"Really? Well, could I ask a favor from you?"
"Uhm, okay." I'm so sleepy…
"Kindly borrow that book for me, Ms. Alpha. Will you?" Her teacher requested.
"Uh, sure. I'll be back in a few." I'm really going to sleep. Oh heavens, have mercy on me!
Alpha hastily went to the college library, borrowed the requested book, and went back to the faculty room–straight to her teacher's desk.
"Here's the book, ma'am. Ma'---" Her teacher was not there.
"Where could she be?" She decided to simply leave the book on the table and go home for a good day's rest. However, an ear-splitting scream reached her ears that quickly alarmed her.
"AAAAAAGGGGHHHHH!!!" Screaming only means terror.
"Ma'am? Is that you? Where are you?"
All of her living cells awake now, she hurried to the women's restroom where she had heard her poor teacher's terrified shriek.
"What's wro---?"
She was absolutely flabbergasted when she first laid her eyes on the floor. There was her poor teacher, lying unconsciously on one corner. She then shifted her eyes to the form beside her. It was… It was… unmistakably… a… a…
Shock… and utter disbelief was plastered all over her face. How could this be?!?
How could this be?!?
