by

Patricia Hanne G. Clemente


CHARACTERS
Elai- 18 year-old
Emman-18 year-old
Both Grade 12 students.
Emman is the Public Relationship Officer of the school.

TIME
The time is present.

PLACE
St. Paul College of Bocaue High School Building
SCENE 1
INT. ST. PAUL COLLEGE OF BOCAUE HIGHSCHOOL BUILDING-ALMOST
NIGHT
At ELAI’s building. She is walking, almost running, in the
building’s hallway to go home. She is on her way out of the
building. She passes by the bulletin board near the Guidance
Office at her right side, the Directress’ Office at the left
side, and the bulletin boards of different clubs.
In the dark side of the building, Elai’s whispers were
heard.

ELAI
Oh my Lord. Please guide me home, I know that this school,
particularly this building, was known for many ghost stories…
ELAI sees her long time crush
ELAI
Ohmyghod! My crush is approaching! But wait…what is he doing here
anyway? He is supposed to be home by now. It’s almost 6pm and all
the students were expected to be out, except out section of
course because we have something to finish
EMMAN
(greets happily)
Hello Elai! How have you been? I am not seeing you around lately.
Have you been busy?
ELAI
(Feels weird; talks to herself)
Uhh, this is awkward. He never talks to me or even look! How is
this possible? Is he really starting a conversation? Are these
even real?
(starts to pinch herself)
EMMAN
(weirdly looks at her)
Hey are you okay? Why are you pinching yourself?
ELAI
Ah! It’s nothing, really.

EMMAN
Are you sure?

ELAI
Yes, I am certain.
EMMAN
Well then, okay. Do you want to walk to the gate with me?
ELAI
Sure thing.
SCENE 2
They walk together towards the gate. The two will pass by
the canteen and field. After walking for a while, the wind
suddenly blows making Elai feel weird and scared but then
EMMAN talks after a few minutes.

ELAI
Wooh, the atmosphere is so silent. I’m so shy I cannot even utter
a word. Also, this dark part of the school makes me
uncomfortable. It’s like someone or something is going to show up
in any moment.
EMMAN
Hey Elai, why are you so quiet? Don’t you want to talk with me? I
hear some rumors that you have a crush on me is that true?
ELAI
(Disbelief)
Huh? Who told you? That is not true!
EMMAN
(Laughing)
I think it is. Look! Your cheeks are turning red
ELAI
Hey! Don’t make fun of me. Okay fine. I admit it. I have a little
crush on you ever since I saw you in the campaign period but
that’s it, alright?
EMMAN
What if I told you I feel the same?
ELAI
(Shocked)
Really? Are you saying the truth? It looks like you’re just
making fun of my feelings for you.
EMMAN
No, no, really. I feel the same
ELAI
Tell me more about it.

ELAI became comfortable talking to EMMAN not knowing that


they are approaching near the gate. ELAI overheard the guard
to someone and that voice is so familiar to her. She
immediately ran, not looking back. The person the GUARD is
talking to just left and rode the tricycle. She decided to
talk to the GUARD instead.

ELAI
Hey Kuya! Who was that? I thought our section is the only one
left here?
GUARD
Oh that kid? That was Emman. The Student Council’s P.R.O. Why do
you ask?
ELAI
(Shocked)
Huh? Are you sure Kuya? Emman is with me. We were walking
together, isn’t that right Emman?

When ELAI looked no one was there. The GUARD looks at her
weirdly.

GUARD
I’m sure of it Ma’am. I know who he is because I always see him.
ELAI
If that’s the case, then who’s walking with me?

Elai and the GUARD looked at each other with fright written
all over their faces.

BLACK OUT.
