Before I begin, I can't help it but to stress once again that this series is 70% fiction and the 30% is based on some real life encounters. So PLEASE do not simply guess who is who in the comment box, cos this will raise unneccesary problems with this blog. I mean, if you've been attending school for the past 10 months you can have a rough idea who is who. Haiz. Nuff said, let the Funhouse begin.
Chapter 3: Funhouse
It is 15 minutes before recess, and the board members are allowed to come out early. As usual, the board was never a single family. Within this Board Of Disciplinarians, chaos and trouble never rests. There isn't a single day where you wouldn't hear stories about the Board. The Board Of Prefects will always think that they are superior to the other boards, thus causing other boards' hostility towards them.
It is Merkyl's 1st day as a Prefect, and he doesn't want a bad duty on his 1st day. He sat at the usual table, the one where most Form 4's sit as if they own the table. Just as he put down his plate of rice, he heard a sudden maniacal laughter, one that sends chills down his spine. He immediately recognised that laughter. Only one person in the school is capable of making such eerie laughter, and it's non other than Pharell, a librarian. Pharell is not the type of person anyone wanna mess with, for hidden beneath his deceiving smile is a witty yet cunning personality.
Pharell: Oh, look who is it. It's our newly promoted Prefect, Merkyl!
Merkyl: Hi everyone!!
Pharell: Guys, don't you think that badge is a little too bright? Ooops, bitchy me.
Merkyl dare not retaliate, instead settling with a forceful smile. He takes a glance at everyone around the table and he saw the usual faces. There's Raj, a Break Monitor who is known for his notorious sucking-up. And there's Mika, a fellow prefect who is held in high regard by his friends. Next to him is Shane, his classmate who is a prefect and very hardworking as well. And last but not least, the one mentioned by Dylan, Chen.
Chen: Hey Merkyl!
Merkyl: *thinking to himself* I better not answer him. He's going to find fault with me for sure.
Chen: *feels ignored* Hellooo Merkyl??
Merkyl: Hey...Hey..
Chen: *thinking to himself* Something is definitely wrong, he's unusually cold to me. Better ask him what's the matter.
Just as Chen was about to ask Merkyl what's the matter, Dylan interrupted.
Dylan: Hey Chen. Acting so fast already.
Chen: What? Acting what?
Dylan: Don't act dumb, Chen. Both you and I clearly knows what's your 'noble' intention.
Chen: I really don't understand what are you talking about!
Dylan: If you're a man, admit what you've done. I told Merkyl everything, so there's no way you can harm him now.
Chen: So it was you! Merkyl listen! I did not...
Merkyl: Shut up and let me finish my breakfast! Don't act all good in front of me.
Raj: Hey hey, stop fighting.
Dylan: This is our fight, stay out of it.
Raj: *stunned*
Mika: Hey hey. Let's not get all unfriendly here. We only have 4 more....
Dylan: I said STAY Out Of It!
Pharell: Stop.
Everyone suddenly stopped. They realised that they have unitentionally brought Pharell into the fight, and that's not good.
Pharell: Can't you guys just act maturely and finish your breakfast?
Dylan: Pharell, it's the same to you. Stay out...
Pharell: *Stands up and walks towards Dylan* Well well, if it isn't my dearest friend Dylan!
What's the whole commotion about? What's with this furious aura?
Chen: Pharell, they're blaming me for something I did not do!
Pharell: I know. Let me settle for you.
Pharell: Dylan, both of us knows very well who's the one behind everything. What's the need of you bringing this matter up suddenly? Auspicious date huh?
Mika: Yeah, out of all days, why today?
Dylan: *sweating* What..What do you mean? I did not influence Merkyl...
Pharell: Since when did anyone mentioned anything about Merkyl? Oh. 'Siapa yang makan cili, dialah yang rasa pedasnya.'
Dylan: You son-of-a-bitch!
Dylan rolled his palm into a fist, and is about to punch Pharell in the stomach when suddenly...
Ella: Hey, mind if I join in the fun?
Everyone: *stops and stares at Ella, Dylan stopped immediately*
Ella: My oh my. What's with the fist and all? Come, allow me to settle the misunderstanding here =)
Ella finally reaches the canteen just in time to see the commotion. What is so fearful about Ella that makes everyone stop in their tracks? Who is Pharell supporting actually? Will Merkyl ever escape the big trap he is in right now? Up next, Chapter 4: 4 Minutes to Save The World.
