B#37 - Oamil P.O.V.

I feel someone is shaking my seat. I turn around and close my eyes really shut. The shaking still continues.

"Dude, wake up," said Jayrome.

"What?" I asked, still sleepy.

"We're riding in a roro right now," he said.

"Great, now please can I get some sleep?" I asked.

"Well, sir said that we should go to the deck," he answered.

"Okay, help me get up," I said.

He holds me at the back and easily stands me up. I hold him at the shoulder and finally I get on my feet. I open my eyes and we are really inside a roro. I look around and everyone is gone. I look at him.

"Lets go?" he asked.

"C'mon," I said.

We go outside of the bus and see that there are no other cars inside. I look at the left side and see another bus. Looks like that we have own this roro. I look at him and he just walks pass me. I look him at the neck and see something shiny and silver.

"Wait up, dude," I said. He looks at me and raises an eyebrow.

"What is in your neck?" I asked.

"Oh this, sir said that this is a ticket to Boracay," he answered.

I touch my neck and feel something cold. I look at Jayrome again and he is smiling.

"You're wearing it, too," he said.

"What?" I asked.

"You're also wearing it," he said.

My heart starts to pound. Where did I saw this necklace? I can't remember. I look again at him.

"Why are you so pale? Did you see a ghost?" he asked.

"Uh, no, I just...I just got a bad feeling," I answered.

"Well, let's go to the deck, shall we?" he asked.

"Okay, let's go," I said.

We walk side by side. I still can't get a hold on myself. Why do I feel so nervous? I look at him again. He's just calm, very calm. I try to choke down something on my throat and try to speak.

"Jay," I said.

"Yeah?" he replied.

"When did sir gave this to us?" I asked.

"Well, when we're at the welcome arch of Lucena City," he answered.

"And who put this thing on my neck?" I asked.

"Sir Chard did," he answered.

I just nod. We finally reach the deck. I see that everyone is mingling with each other. I look from left to right, everyone is happy. Everyone is wearing the necklace. Now it gives me the chills. I feel all sweaty despite of the cool wind.

G#48 - Villaroman P.O.V.

I can hear the laughter of other students from the other side. I can tell that we are so happy and excited. I turn around and see Charles. I approach him.

"Hey, Charles," I said the hugs him.

"How are you?" I asked and look at him.

"Well, um, I'm fine," he answered.

"Dude, are you sick?" I asked.

"Um, no, just, uh, just nervous," he answered.

"Why are you so nervous about?" I asked.

"Well, I, I don't know," he answered.

"Look at you, you're sweaty and pale," I said.

"Am, am I?" he asked.

"C'mon, lets go to the clinic. Follow us, Jay," I said.

"Okay," Jayrome answered.

"N-No, I'm fine, really," he said.

"Are you sure?" I asked.

"Yeah," he answered.

"Okay then," I said.

I slowly look away at Charles and go to my friends. They are busy looking at the open sea. I join them and look far. The blue sky matches the blue sea. Despite the noon sun, it is very cool. The wind that is made by the roro make it possible for us to withstand it.

I look up at the sky and there are seagulls flying. They are soaring high, gliding and they let the wind takes them wherever it goes. As I look forward, I can see a small island. The excitement in me, maybe in all of us, is rising up.

"Hey, look, a port," someone shouted.

Everybody starts to gather at one side. I look at the front and I can't see nothing.

"Man overboard, man overboard!" someone shouted at the back.

We all look at the person who shouted it. We see Jay is waving his left hand and his right hand is pointing to the side. We all approach him; we look at the side and see Charles hanging at the side.

"Oh my God! Someone save him!" I shouted.

"Give way, give way!" someone shouted from behind.

Our bus driver and I think their bus driver come. They are holding a lifesaver and a rope.

"Oh, thank you very much, he's over there," I said and points where Charles is.

"Give me the rope," said the other bus driver.

He gives him the rope and ties it up on his waist. He transfers to the other side and slowly goes down. We all look at what's going to happen.

"Give me your hand, kid," said the driver.

He offers his hand to him. Charles shakes his head. The driver tries to reach for Charles, but still, Charles insisted.

"Kid, I'm telling you, it's going to be alright," the driver said.

"Then what is this necklace for?" he asked.

"It's just a kind of ticket to get in Boracay," the driver answered.

"Sure?" Charles asked.

"Sure," the driver answered.

Charles finally moves towards the driver. The driver finally reaches Charles' hand. Charles immediately jumps to the driver and holds tight.

"Clear," said the driver.

We all clap our hands. The driver and Charles finally reaches the deck. After Charles steps his foot in the deck, he collapses. Some of us scream. The driver goes to him and checks his pulse. We all wait.

"He's fine, he's just experiencing a trauma," the driver said.

I'm very relieved when he said that.

"Can someone carry him to the bus, we're finally here in Kalibo, Aklan," the driver said.

Jay and Troy go to his body and carry him. We all follow them. We hear someone cough from behind us. Some of us look back, including me.

"All of you go to your respective bus and we're here," said Sir Richard.

"Yes, sir," all of us said.

Then everyone starts to shout. Some of us run to our bus. We can really see that they are very excited. Except for me, I'm still worried for Charles.

B#43 - Taruc P.O.V.

We easily lay Charles down to his seat. He is still unconscious. I look at Troy.

"Thanks, dude, I'll take it from here," I said.

"Sure thing," he said then goes to his seat.

I sit down and look at the front. Everyone is starting to get inside the bus and they're really excited. I look at Charles and he's really pale. He's like sleeping. I feel that the roro has finally make it to a stop. The driver finally comes in and he starts the engine.

"Everything is clear, sir," he said to the door.

"Good, let's go," sir Chard said.

The bus finally moves and get out of the roro. I look at the window and there are many soldiers in positions. There are also military trucks on the back. I look at the front and see the driver is wearing a gas mask.

"Uhm, excuse me," I said.

I start to feel sleepy all of a sudden. I look at my left side and see Vernon and Fritz sleeping. I look at the back and they are all sleeping. I look at the front and they're all asleep. I stand up and goes to the front. I look at Sir Chard and he's wearing a gas mask too. He looks at me then punches me in the face. Everything went black.
