Jay-jay's POV
"Hey! Pay! You're still running away!" Rory shouted while charging. It's already paid for the retreat on Monday. They said the school wouldn't meet our needs. We're just Section E! I reached for my wallet in my bag. I also have to pay. It's embarrassing if I'm late, it's even harder for others to charge. "I'm paying!" Felix shouted and looked at me. "...Have you paid yet?" "No----" "That's paid!" Rory cut me off. I stopped searching for my wallet in my bag. I looked at him in surprise. "Hey, not yet!" "Keifer already paid earlier." That snort? I immediately walked over to Keifer who was sleeping. I hit him in the chest causing him to wake up and look at me angrily. "Why did you pay for it?" I asked annoyed. "Because I wanted to." He answered bored and went back to sleep. I hit him again. "I'll spend it." He was obviously annoyed by what I did. I guess I hit him wrong to wake him up. But I was annoyed. He stood up suddenly and grabbed my hand. He dragged me out of the room to the side of the building. We stopped a little distance away and he looked at me annoyed. "What's your problem? I used to treat you, huh?" "Because now it's different... It was different then." He crossed his arms and stared at me for a long time. "The truth?" The truth... Because... Haizt! It's been since he told me about his life. I just realized that he was so rich and I was poor. And last night, when they left the restaurant. Yuri's parents immediately started talking about Watson Enterprise. On Keifer's birthday, the CEO of the company will be replaced and full access will be given to him. At the age of 18, he already has his own company. How is that? He is one of the youngest bachelors and millionaire----billionaires in the Philippines. Compared to me. I'm almost 18 but that flavor of ice cream is still on my mind. His life is really far from mine. I feel sad. I feel like Honey is a better ï¬t for him. He's arrogant! "Why aren't you answering?" He asked. I shook my head. "As long as I pay my bills." I was about to walk away when he suddenly stopped me. He looked me in the eyes, I immediately looked away. I didn't want him to notice that I was thinking something. "Why didn't you answer my call last night?" I swallowed hard. He called and texted me several times. I didn't answer because I was so annoyed with him and that Honey. I don't want honey! "Wh-what... I'm doing something." "And what is that?" He said as he stepped closer. I took a step back because of his closeness. "Hmmm... Cleaning the room." That's true! I really am cleaning, especially when I saw the bottom of my bed. It was covered in chutchirya. "Ms. Mariano... Are you lying to me?" He took another step. "No, ah! That's true..." "Is that really the reason? Because it seems like there's something else." He took another step. I took another step back. I almost tripped over a rock, but luckily I was able to stand up straight. "Wh-what is that?" I looked at him, he smiled while not taking his gaze off me. "I don't know... Maybe jealous?" I suddenly laughed out of annoyance. What jealousy? Do I look jealous? Where would I be jealous of? Honey and them? No no! "Asa! Who am I jealous of? Honey? No way!" I said annoyed. He suddenly laughed as he took a step closer to me. I tried to take another step but there was a wall behind me. Come on! Can't I penetrate here? Like Harry Potter? Keifer grabbed my chin and forced my face to face him. My cheeks heated up on their own. "You're too obvious. You know that?" He said slowly and almost in a whisper. It was nice to hear his voice. It sounded like he was seducing. Are you attracted to him?! Yeah----shit! No way! "...Honey almost sued you because of what you did to her nose." He added. My eyes widened and my knees almost went weak. Sued? I'm going to be locked up! "S-sued?" "Yes... But we already talk about it. So, no need to worry." He said and smiled. He caressed my lips with his big hands. I felt a sense of relief. I can already feel what he wants to happen. "Jealous." "Oh, you're not jealous? Shame on you!" He laughed a little. "But you also admitted that you're jealous." Did I admit it? It's not! It's okay to be jealous. Invent the mud. "I don't have----" He stopped me from speaking with his thumb. "Stop explaining." He said and slowly brought his lips closer to mine. I smelled him before he noticed. There was no trace of cigarettes, this guy's head was good. I just closed my eyes while waiting for-----ahihihihi! What the hell? Why am I flirting? I'm annoyed! And what I've been waiting for has happened. It's raining money. Joke! Our lips are already glued to each other. Honestly, I miss this.The kiss gradually deepened. My hand was already on his chest, hugging his neck. One of his hands was on the back of my neck and the other was leaning against the wall. With every move he made, I responded, when suddenly.... "That's sweet." We immediately separated. I just ended up facing the wall and seemed to be examining it. Keifer turned his back on the one who spoke. "I-I thought the way to 9 3/4 was here?" I didn't ask myself. 9 3/4? That's from Harry Potter! "It's in L-london. Not here." Kumag replied. I just bit my lip hard. What we were doing was embarrassing. "Ayyiieeehh... Jay-jay is a girl." Someone's teasing. I looked over to see who it was and if you were lucky. Almost all of our classmates were watching us. Ci-N was leading, followed by Kit, Edrix, Rory and Felix. The others were smiling at me. Yuri's other supporters were not there. The others , on the other hand, seemed unconcerned. "Tss..." I heard Keifer say. He seemed annoyed by what Ci- N and the others did. "...Do you need something?" "Nothing... I'm just calling Jay-jay to Guidance." Kit said. Guidance?! Have I done anything stupid lately? Did I ï¬ght with Freya or the Section A students? The Section D students? Did I answer any of them? Why was I being called to guidance? I looked at Keifer. "Do you want me to take you?" "Ayyiiieeehhhh..." Ci-N and Keifer said, causing Keifer to raise his middle ï¬nger. "N-no... I can do it." I walked slowly. No matter how many times I thought about what I did to get called, I really couldn't remember anything. Think about it carefully! I just bit my lower lip. With every step I took, my heart beat faster. I'm not afraid of guidance. I'm more afraid when they call Kuya. Aaaahhhh!! There's going to be a deluge. No way, I'm going to be caught off guard. As I continued walking, someone suddenly bumped into me. I almost fell down, but luckily I was able to hold on to one of the students. "S-sorry..." I said to the person I was holding. He just nodded and left. I looked at the person who bumped into me and wondered if I would be lucky. "ARE YOU BLIND?!" Freya said angrily. I wasn't in the mood to argue. Bad trip! "If I'm blind, what else are you? An idiot?" I answered her boredly. She crossed her arms and looked at me intently. I noticed that the other students stopped to watch us. Tsk! I don't want to ï¬ght. "If I'm an idiot, you're useless!" I laughed a little. "You admitted you're an idiot?" I suddenly thought about what I said. I could see her irritation and disappointment . It was bad. I didn't wait for her to say anything. I continued walking towards guidance. I stopped right in front of the guidance office door. I was still thinking about whether to knock. What if I was called because I did something? Come on! You're angry... It's really bad! It's like I'm urinating all the time that I don't understand. I just squirmed in my seat and spun around. I think I must have been spinning around a few times. Until I looked at the door of the guidance office. It was already open and Aries and his other classmates were looking at me with raised eyebrows. "Weird." He commented and walked away. What weirdo? Thank goodness you just got out of the hospital. Oh! He probably wanted me to take him back there again. His classmates were even making fun of me. You thought! You also have a day with me. I entered the office and the guidance counselor appeared before me----what was her name again? "Ms. Mariano?" She asked. "Oh-yes... You're calling me?" "Yes... Let's go here." She said to me as she walked towards her main office. When we entered, she pointed to the drawer in front of her table. I sat down and waited for her. She was ï¬ddling with something in the drawer. Mrs. Reality. Okay... Thanks for the name plate. I know his name again. After rummaging through his drawer, he walked back to the table and sat on his throne. He handed me a few pieces of paper. "Have the Guidance Counselor of Holy Saints Highschool sign it." My old school? "Yes? Why?" "Because the records they gave us are incomplete." He pointed to a folder full of papers inside. "... We've called them several times but they always just said 'we will call you back'." "Records?" He nodded at me. "Because we want to make sure your records are okay at your old school." What's the problem with my records? The whole Holy Shit----Saints thing is still mad at me . They just made the records a problem. "What if I can't get them signed?" I asked. "You can't graduate." He quickly answered. Shhoooooooooooooooooooott!!! I'm not graduating? Just because of the records. How's that? My goodness... I don't want to go back to Holy Saints yet. It's so annoying! I looked at Ma'am. I would have liked to talk. Talk and tell them to just order someone else. I can't go back there. "That probably won't be a problem, especially since your retreat is next week and it's being held near that school." She said, which made my mind spin. Will it be held? Next week? You son of a bitch! Next week already?! And it's actually in our province. Nice... "...I hope you can sign it right away." She smiled at me. "...I'll just let your Adviser know about it so they can let you go." I was forced to nod and smile. But I really don't want to. I don't want to go back to my old school. I left a lot of things behind there. Painful memories. Things that were part of who I used to be. I left those behind when I left. I don't want to see them anymore. I couldn't bring myself to walk back to the room. Can't Sir Alvin just sign it? That's annoying! Because I was walking in a daze, I accidentally bumped into the person I was walking with. When I raised my head to look at him, I was stunned. "Sorry... Are you okay?" Yuri asked me. "Oh... It's okay. Sorry too." I went back to walking and he followed me. He had already gone back inside. That should have been good news but I was more worried about the paper I was holding. When I returned to the room, they suddenly fell silent. As if an angel had passed by. When I looked up, Keifer's eyes immediately met mine. I probably don't need to say that his angry gaze was melting. Yuri grabbed my shoulder and walked to his place. I followed and immediately put the papers in my bag. When I sat down, the air in the room was so heavy. Even though they were doing their own things , it was like they were waiting for each other's actions. What was wrong? I didn't feel comfortable. Add to that the papers I had to sign. I thought about going to the bathroom ï¬rst to wash my hands. I really need that now. I moved quickly to the CR. Our next teacher was coming. I did what I had planned, it felt a bit better. I got ready and went back to the room. I had just stepped foot in the building when I saw Ci-N rushing out of the room. Wow! Josh was following him and he immediately punched him. I panicked so I immediately went over to them. I was about to break them up but I was stunned by the scene inside the room. They were all punching each other. As in, all of them! "What..." I whispered. "Shut up!" " You idiot!" "Here you go!" "Pakyu!" "You're out of breath!" "Pay your debt!" "There's no forever!" I just managed to pull myself together from what was happening. They were in such a mess and what exactly were they doing? Don't do CR again! I saw Keifer and Yuri in the middle. Yuri fell down and Keifer, who was standing near him, was giving him a bad look. His ï¬st was clenched . Even though I wasn't sure, I immediately ran towards them. Keifer was ready to punch him but before he could do that I hugged him. "Jay!" Yuri called my name. I looked at him for a moment and focused on Keifer. "What is this? What's going on?!" I asked worriedly. The others gradually stopped ï¬ghting. He looked away and obviously had no intention of explaining. I let go of him and faced Yuri who was slowly standing up. "What's going on? Why are you all making a fuss?" I thought he would answer but just like Keifer, he just looked away . They really didn't have any intention of answering so I looked at the others. All they did was look away. Ci-N was about to speak who had just entered the room but David covered his mouth and held him tightly. The mud! I felt annoyed by what they were doing. Obviously no one will speak. "No one will speak to you?" I asked annoyed. And even after I asked, there was still no answer. I was so annoyed that I grabbed my bag and quickly left the room. Leave them alone! I lost the desire to go in.
