Summer

I can never resist the urge to walk around St Pain's grounds. Sometimes I fly but today the ceilings keep extending to block my flight. And after many attempts and many bruises, I give up completely and resign myself to walking around like everyone else.

One some occasions, the landscape of the school changes and staircases appear where there was a wall. Or walls appear where there were rooms. This scares me.

I get a call from Moe.

Moe: You're still there?

Me: I'm going home. See you later!

Moe: You can't. Tina, remember? She has papers you have to sign.

Me: (Grumble, grumble.) Can't it wait until tomorrow? I have to leave. There's this staircase that wasn't there yesterday and I tried to fly but the ceilings ---

Moe: No! They're MY papers and I entrusted them to HER and all you have to do is sign. Why do you have to be such a brat about this after she all she's done to help! Kawawa naman sya. Do you not know how important she is to me? How important those papers are?

Me: Well! If they're so important why didn't she just come up to me earlier? I was here the whole time --

And the line gets cut and I have no choice but to find this girl. But it's late and darkness has cloaked the building in an eerie shade of gray. And there have been more interior changes than a few minutes ago. I'm only now beginning to wonder: What papers? Why are they with Tina? What am I doing in St Pain when it's summer?
