BLOOD PASSAGE
The Test Before Death

The ceremony we all had on Monday was completed solemnly. The sound of footsteps rumbled along with a racing heartbeat getting stronger.

“You learned yesterday until what time is bi? When I go to the bathroom your room light is still on”

“Until one” hour

The lira rounded her eyes and looked at me for a few seconds.

“Jeez, how can you stay strong. If I can survive until one in the morning. Eleven o'clock in the night, my head hurts”

Lira shook her head and looked at me in disbelief.

“Last night I was asleep at ten, but woke up at twelve pm”

“You studying? Your value will be very high bi. I'm sure it”

“I don't learn, just sit back”

Lira looked at me in disbelief.

“There are people who wake up in the middle of the night, just keep quiet in the room without doing anything. That's impossible bi. There must be something you're hiding from me”

“No”

I just shook my head and walked quickly to class.

“Come fast lira, exam supervisor is close to class”

Lira ran after me who was already in the doorway.

"Good children, the exam will be carried out immediately starting from the father distributing the exam paper and the answer paper.please do not put anything on the table other than the pen, please, and the bags you use are good to keep in front. UNDERSTAND?”

“UNDERSTANDING PAK”

All students(i) squandered to put their bags in front just below the hanging whiteboard.

“Good before starting our exams this morning, let us pray according to the teachings of each religion. Praying starts”

We all bowed obediently and began to pray. After that only the sound of pen scratches could be heard inside the room.

...

Me and the lira walked towards somewhere, but our steps stopped because a voice calling our names sounded from behind.

“STARS...LIRA..”

I and the lira turned around, and found fika and dion running in tandem towards us.

“What's up?”

The lira holds the shoulder of the bent fika trying to pick up the oxygen supply around it.

“Monday ahead of big brother graduation announcement, keep brother kevin want us to gather before the event starts”

“Gather? For what?”

“So please, he just passed that on to us, isn't he dion?”

Dion who was next to the fika nodded, confirming the sentence that fika delivered to us.

“We have to assemble where?”

“Where else, where is “SURGICAL GLASSES” there is only one. You forgot?”

I shook my head, who knows Kevin wants us to gather in a new place.

“So. Where are you going”

I looked at the lira, and the one being stared at was just staring back.

“Kita..mau to canteen. Is it bi?”

I stared at the astonished lira, instead of just taking me to the teacher's estate that was behind the new building.

“Ah yes we want to canteen. You guys want to come?”

One pinch on my arm was able to make me aware and follow the direction of the lira's conversation.

“I and Dion want to go to the library. Then we go first”

I nodded and the lira was just busy waving to dion and fika who were starting to move away from where we were standing.

“Jesus, star. You can't really, don't take things too seriously. We almost got caught earlier”

Lira ruffled her bobbed hair and I just put on a guilty look at her.

“Maaf”

“Yasudah. We better get to the teacher housing before the second exam time comes. Let's hurry”

“You sure you don't remember the shape of the house or the color of the house paint?”

Lira looked at me as she continued walking and tried to get rid of the weeds that started growing around her.

“I don't remember the lira. At that time I was shocked and the lack of lighting made me not have time to pay attention to the details of the housing that we entered”

The lira let out a slow breath, whereas I could only pay attention to every single housing we passed.

“How about we open the housing one by one?”

I stared at the lira, her face showing seriousness and vigor.

“But lira, these houses are definitely locked. Where can we go into there”

“Keep you and brother kevin in through what time is it?”

“I don't remember, for sure we went out through the side window of the house. That's all I remember. Surely that terrible thing also includes”

Lira nodded and rubbed her chin, trying to think hard to get into the dozens of houses before us now.

“Better we go back to the class only lira, I think the things we do this will be in vain. Besides, the main problem we're looking for is in the warehouse. Not here.

I stopped following the lira's steps and she just turned a glance at me.

“I know bi, it's just that I feel that the thing you and brother kevin saw that night must have something to do with the main problem we're looking for”

“That's just because of your curiosity lira. Could have been the behavior of a prank”

The lira stopped her steps and headed to my place.

“Doing pranksters you say? Stars where there are pranksters who will do such a thing to innocent animals. Which prankster would do that Ha?”

“But it could have been that animal pissed off the doer”

“Sound yes star. Cats are animals, as much and many times we teach him only part of his brain is able to fit. While the human brain is able to work and receive many times a lesson. From what I said you can conclude for yourself who should be guilty is who?”

The lira emphasized whose words were right in front of my face. And I can only take a few steps back.

“It's up to you lira, but I want to go back to class now”

I stepped out leaving the still-self lira in her place.

“You are not exciting bi. I just want to know who did it”

“I also want to know it's lira. Just what if we get caught trying to get into that house? it could be that the school guard or janitor is suspicious of us if those who come to school on that night are real.”.

“What are you guys doing here?”

I flinched and immediately turned around as well as the lira.

“Sorry sir earlier..we unknowingly walked in this direction”.

The janitor stared at us for a long time, making my heart pump faster than usual.

“Be careful son, here the place is haunted. There are already some students as well who often so”

The lira pinched my arm again, and I could only nod to the sentence that our school janitor delivered.

“Aduh, then we first yes sir. He was late for class. Excuse me pak”

Lira immediately pulled my arm and we left the cleanliness officer who was still fixated on staring at us from a distance. Fortunately, he did not suspect us.

“Crazy. My heart almost blew earlier bi”

Me and the lira stopped next to the new building and leaned against the wall that had been crossed here and there.

“I warned you earlier lira. But you still insist to that place”

“I'm curious bi”

“Yes and your curiosity almost got us caught off guard by janitor”

Lira just looked at me and pouted at my words.

“Iya, I'm sorry”

“Already, we go to class only”

I stepped towards the classroom followed by the lira who was walking lazily behind me. If only we could easily find the perpetrators of this heinous thing, surely the burden on our minds would be slightly reduced. Or even increase because it turns out that someone is the culprit. I have to find out who is behind the incident in the housing of course without involving anyone from the group “SURGICAL GLASSES”.
