    About this ebook

    Arbee is a senior student of Theater Arts at the prestigious Hanyad University. The university is hosting a stageplay for graduating students. And Arbee will be sharing its lead role with the most popular girl in school, Venna.

    Before the stageplay starts, everything changes. Things are never as they appear. A man attacks the school, but the police won't believe the report. Her friend becomes her enemy. Her friend gets mudered, but the media won't listen to her story. Who's lurking in the shadows, watching everything? All lies have loose ends. And the loose end is: the unknown narrator.

      An Unknown Narrator - Charlene Delfin

      An Unknown Narrator

      By Charlene Delfin

      Chapter 1

      February 20, 2011. Sunday

      Let’s meet at Starbucks tomorrow, okay?

      Yeah, tomorrow. Bye, Fye.

      Bye, Leo.

      Leo drove away in his red Toyota Vios. Fye turned away, and walked under the glow of streetlights in the Lone Houses Subdivision. He was a tall, 20-year-old guy with a muscular body. He was bald. He was wearing a white hoodie over a yellow T-shirt that had red, horizontal stripes. His gray pants were a bit creased near his ankles because of his huge, Caterpillar shoes. He carried a light backpack on his left shoulder.

      The wet road glistened in the night, and the place was absolutely quiet. The houses in this neighborhood stood far from each other. The houses were almost a kilometer from one another. The name of the place said it; it was for people who wanted to be alone. Residents couldn’t even see their neighbors from their own houses.

      Fye’s house was on Mattias Drive. It was facing west. He approached his two-storey abode. Its lights were glowing softly against the trees that surrounded it. He could hear his twin sister’s sweet voice. She was chatting on the telephone again.

      He glimpsed something. Or someone.  A man was sitting on the edge of the sidewalk just outside their small gate. The man was wearing shorts, a simple T-shirt, and white rubber shoes. He didn’t see Fye, and he looked like he had been eavesdropping. Fye quietly walked to the sidewalk, and sneaked up behind the man.

      Hey!

      The man turned his head upon hearing Fye’s voice. Fye punched the man’s head. The man collapsed on the pavement. Fye crouched beside him, and began beating him up.

      After a few, silent seconds, Fye stood up, and sprinted into his house. His twin sister, Venna, met him at the front door.

      Stay here, he warned her as he dropped his backpack on the floor and removed his hoodie. He ran back to the gate as he took out his mobile phone. He dialed the number of the local police. I just saw a guy attack another guy outside my house. He ran to the northeast from House Number 309 Mattias Drive, Lone Houses Subdivision. Please send someone to chase him.

      He put the mobile phone back to the pocket of his pants as he kept screaming, Help! Help!

      A yellow car was approaching from the north. Fye held the unconscious man’s ankles, lifted them, and dragged the victim off the sidewalk. The yellow car stopped in front of them, and a skinny driver came out. The driver frantically shouted at Fye, Don’t drag him!

      It was too late. Fye had dragged the man to the road, and the victim’s head hit the pavement.

      A man viciously beat him up, I saw it, Fye explained. He quickly escaped. We need to send this to the hospital.

      Okay, I’ll send him to the hospital, complied the thin driver.

      March 21, 2011. Monday

      The sound of the school bell filled the halls and the corridors of Hanyad University.

      The sound of her laughter was something that would make any guy look around in search of such confidence. She wore a different outfit every day, and she always smelled good. Today, she was wearing a loose top with mini skirt. She liked flip flops (she had beautiful feet). She was just perfect from head to toe. Her name was Anna Marie Venna Manor, the most popular girl in the
