Gem of section eBook-2

Truth or Dare

Jay-jay's POV

This little Kumag kid is so
stupid. The scene was so funny. His karma is so fast . "Rakki! I love you!" Ci shouted while chasing Rakki. "Get
away from me! It's annoying! You're embarrassing!" Rakki shouted at him while running away. We could only
look at them. Even other people were just watching while shaking their heads. They were also so good at
grabbing a scene. We were currently in line. It was lunch time and the organizer was talking for a long time ----I
didn't understand anything. All he said was love . Some people confessed their feelings but of course no one
could beat Ci-N. "Jay..." David called to me while handing me the tray. I took it and immediately chose
something to eat. I was still far away but I could see the lechon. Bes! Lechon! It was getting greasy! While my
tray was being loaded with food, I couldn't take my eyes off the lechon. And since your troops were eating, we
hadn't even left the line--- I was already eating. Woooooohhh!! Bes, you're welcome! "Sit down first." Keifer said
to me. "...we haven't even left the line yet, it's already half way through." "Why are you bothering me?" I asked
him annoyed. He gave me a hard time and handed me a bottled water. "Shut up." I just ignored him and
continued.Before going to our place, we waited for the others. Since Ci-N had been waiting for a long time----
who was the last one we were waiting for----my food on the tray was almost gone. I couldn't stand it anymore.
The organizer's words made me hungry. "Finally finished." Calix said annoyed. "Let's go! Let's go!" Edrix said.
We walked back to our place. I had only taken a few steps when my tray suddenly flew into the air and fell
straight to the floor. My food! "Ooopps! Sorey." Freya said with a laugh. I wanted to get angry with her and
throw her away but the sadness in my heart prevailed. Sadness because the floor only benefited from my food
instead of my stomach. "Here we go again." I heard David whisper. I was still looking at the overturned tray.
Even though I had already eaten more than ten mouthfuls---of rice and side dishes----it was still not enough.
Especially since there's still some left. I know there are many hungry people in the world. Food shouldn't be
wasted . Pork shouldn't be wasted. Did he think about what that Pig went through before he was slaughtered?
The preparation he went through to make him delicious? He went through a lot----oil! Fire! Lungs! And
bamboo!---- all of that was wasted because of Freya of IMPACT!
I glared at her. "You idiot!" I shouted and
her eyebrows immediately met.
"Excuse me?!" She replied angrily.
"Do you know how hard it is for that pig to fatten up just to be
a lechon?!" I said while pointing at several pieces of lechon on the floor.
"What?!"
"The lechon."
"Jay-jay has a crush on the lechon."
"...he almost didn't get chosen because someone was bigger than him!
He almost drowned in extreme sadness!" I added.
Almost everyone was looking at me and what I was pointing at. I couldn't
help but feel annoyed.
The lechon!
"What the hell are you talking about?!" Freya asked angrily.
"That's probably it!" I replied and pointed at several pieces of lechon.
"...That's how you are! Didn't you think about how that
pig felt when he was chosen to be a lechon? Of course he was so
happy."
"HUH?!" The people around me answered in unison.
You heartless people! All you know is that you eat and eat.
"How do you think he'll feel now when
he finds out that you didn't eat him?! That he just threw it on the floor?!"
I continued. "...That's going to hurt! Of course you don't know that because you're only thinking about yourself
!"
Everyone looked at me dumbfounded. They were confused by what
they were hearing from me. Freya blinked a few times before speaking.
"What...the...fvck?!" One of her eyebrows raised. "What connection do
you have to what I did?"
My eyebrows furrowed in annoyance. "Connection? No connection! No
internet, no charge!"
I felt a hand touch my shoulder. I looked at
it and saw Ci-N. She was slightly bowed and seemed to
sympathize with me.
"Jay..." She began. "...whatever you're going through with the
lechon..." She took a deep breath. "...just eat it, because
we don't understand."
I was about to speak again but Yuri wrapped her
arm around my neck as if she were a snake. I looked at him annoyed.
"Come on! Don't be dramatic." He said and tried to pull me away.
I tried to fight back but his grip
on me was too tight.
"Crazy." I heard Freya say.
I had nothing to do but walk with those pesky Ulopongs
. I'm not done yet! I'm not done showing Freya what
that Lechon went through.
When we got back to our place, I sat down with my arms crossed.
My eyebrows met as I looked at the Section A's.
You know... Piggy and I were going to go crazy.
Someone suddenly handed me a tray of food. I looked at Keifer
and he was looking at me seriously.
"Why are you giving it to me?" I asked.
"So you don't get angry." He answered bored.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm full. I ate too much rice this morning."
I didn't want to. Because it was his food and I was going to eat it. That's why
I was hung up on what I ate earlier. Freya said she would throw him out of the air,
but I had nothing left.
"Let's just share." I suggested.
He sighed and sat next to me. I smiled and took the
tray from him and started eating. I gave it back to him after
taking one to two bites.
It was like the first time we shared food. We took turns
eating. We both ate it and had no choice but to share.
But why did I share it with him?
Suddenly he flicked my forehead. I grabbed him and immediately
looked at him evilly. The pain of what he did was, he just slapped me?
"Oh my! What are you doing to me?!" I asked him annoyed.
"You're smiling alone." He replied, which surprised me.
Smiling? Seriously! I just remembered when we shared food and then
I smiled without realizing it. What was that?! It's embarrassing!
I just grabbed the tray from him and ate. Maybe what he would think
of my smile.
After smiling----this is eating, we went back to our camp site.
We weren't part of their Activity keneme.
Suddenly, Ci-N, Eren and Calix ran to Yuri's hammock.
We thought that was the one who was just riding first.
"I went first!" Eren shouted.
"I can do it! Go!" Calix replied.
"I will! I will have Jay-jay Barakuda cast a spell on you!" Ci shouted and
the talipandas immediately laughed.
Kumag boy!
This kid is annoying. He reminded everyone of that. They weren't even
lying on the hammock because Yuri came to them and asked them to leave so he
could lie down.
What are you doing now?! Good for you!
We each had our own place. Some slept because they said they were up late because of
what I did last night. The others played cards----the ones without bets.
Some were chatting and of course that was Ci-N and me.
"What did you say to them?" He asked about
our school play that I acted in.
"I said, I don't want to. I don't know anything about that." I answered boredly.
"How did they let you in?"
"They reported me to our advisor. They said they would talk to Grandma
if I didn't agree."
"Why did they choose you?"
"Of course... To get back at me. Those classmates of mine are idiots
."
"What story did you make up?"
"They made it up. About a beauty whose beauty never fades.
I was the one who played the witch version and then the beautiful one
in our class was the beautiful version." I explained with a touch of
annoyance.
Because! I was even more beautiful than my classmate and then
they chose me for the witch version. They really are Kinginames!
"I'll guess your line in the play." Ci said with a laugh.
I waited for her while looking at her boredly.
She sat down properly before speaking.
"I'm Barakuda and I need a virgin in exchange for eternal
life." He was imitating what I said that I also heard in the video.
I winced. He was so happy because of what he said.
His eyebrows were still rising while he was gaping.
"That's long! That's not all. I just forgot the other
line."
"What did they say when you went on stage drunk?"
He asked again.
"Nothing."
"Nothing? Why nothing?"
"They found out too late. When the program was over, I suddenly
disappeared."
"Where did you go?"
"To the bathroom. I threw up. The rumor was
that I was pregnant."
"What did you say?"
"I told the truth, I had been drinking. No one believed me because
the rumor that I was pregnant prevailed."
He suddenly laughed out loud. He slapped
his thigh again. I can't blame him, my classmates are so stupid.
At least until now, they haven't.
Cyrus is my boyfriend. They thought we were performing
a miracle. Jusme! We didn't even hold hands when we were having sex
. He was the one who brought the alcohol and made me drink it to relieve
my nerves.
We just talked about whatever we wanted out of impatience.
He kept talking about his condo and his cleaner's niece
----Her name was Veronica.
"...she's younger than me. When her aunt isn't around, she cleans----"
"Why are you telling me about her?" I cut off what he was saying.
The conversation had already turned to Veronica, and I hadn't seen her yet
. It was also strange for this young girl to talk about it. The topic changed
without me realizing it.
"Nothing." He quickly answered me.
"Maybe you have a crush on Veronica?" I teased him.
He glared at me. I just laughed when he suddenly turned red.
Did I report this to Rakki?
"NO!" He shouted loudly, as if he was angry. "...don't be
so mean! It might end up with Rakki..."
He said, smirking.
I just laughed at him. Guilty! I've only asked once
and that's how he reacted.
It was just a simple admiration so there was no problem. Besides, he was still young.
He pushed me away like a child pushing a playmate away. Instead of
getting annoyed with him, I just laughed harder. He was hunched over and trying to hide
his face.
"What about Rakki? There's Veronica." I teased him.
"It's just a crush... I'm still with Rakki." He
replied with a smirk.
So you admit it too.
I just shook my head. Until I suddenly remembered something. That
night we had dinner with his family.
"Ci... Do you remember what you said to me during our dinner with
Kuya Angelo and your family?" I asked.
He was silent for a moment as if he was thinking. He couldn't help but
orget that. Because my mind was torn apart by the question.
He said I should forgive them and that they had sinned greatly against me.
He didn't make that clear. That's why I'm still so confused.
He suddenly stood up and looked straight in one direction.
I wondered why I stood up too. I even brushed my clothes off.
"Why?"
"I'm just c-cr." He said goodbye and quickly ran away.
It was so obvious that he was avoiding my questions again.
I felt annoyed. It was a bad trip! I just took my cellphone and looked at the time. We had been talking to that
mokong for
about four hours. I saw Felix about to light the cluster of branches in the middle. It was starting to get dark.
Eman started to fix what he was cooking. I immediately went over to him to help. "You've been talking for so
long, Ci." Eman commented as he handed me the paper plates----so that there was no more washing up, let's
just go straight to the fire. "Jabble, eh!" He just nodded and continued. The other Ulopongs looked like
acationers. He had just woken up from his nap and was still very tired. While Eman was cooking, Ci-N came
back panting and seemed to be running. Sweaty and struggling to catch his breath. "Anyare?" "Let's play!" She
said while smiling. "Being a child is on again." "I'm just kidding." "Just eat that." Ci was pacing like a child. I
raised one eyebrow at his behavior. "Okay! I saw them in the hall! They were playing truth or dare!" Ci insisted.
"Who are they?" Calix asked. "Those are the ones participating in the activity." The other Sections. It turned out
that we were the only ones who weren't. "Okay! Please..." Ci insisted and looked at me as if talking. "It's okay
with me. I'm not doing anything too much." I said and looked at the others. The others agreed boredly. I looked
at the King who also agreed. Yuri smiled and nodded. The others just shook their heads and were obviously
orced to. We ate first before starting the game Ci-N wanted to play. We also cleaned up the area. We were
sitting in a circle around the bonfire. They took some alcohol from the cooler. They looked at me at the same
time and suddenly laughed. Okay! You're my enemy. "Ha.ha.ha.ha." I laughed sarcastically at them. "That's
fine." David said and ruffled my hair before sitting next to me. "Here! Here!" Ci-N shouted so we all looked at
him. He was shaking a bottle of Pepsi. It was as if he was removing the spirit. We just looked at him until he
opened it and mixed it with soy sauce. "Hey! Ci-N!" "That's disgusting!" "Sala-Ola!" "Is that disgusting? This is
all he'll drink if he doesn't do the Dare or tell the Truth." He said while handing us the bottle of Pepsi mixed with
soy sauce. "You're disgusting. Let's start when we're done." Josh said bored. "Explain the mechanics." Felix
said. "Like this..." Ci handed the bottle to Drew who was next to him. "...we'll sing while passing the bottle
around. When the song stops, whoever gets the bottle, will be asked Truth or Dare." "New huh?" Denzel
commented sarcastically. "Let's start!" Ci said happily and sat next to me. He took out his cellphone and
played something. We sang along and sometimes even clapped. The bottle was passed around. Some passed
it around quickly and others seemed to be planning to slow down before giving it to the person next to them.
Suddenly, the music died down and we all stopped singing. The bottle also stopped with.... Josh. "Truth or
Dare?" We asked at the same time. "Truth." He answered quickly. The person next to him was the first to ask
him. If there is no one to ask, you can just pass so the next person can ask. This game is okay! "Are you gay?"
Blaster asked directly. We all laughed out loud. If it's not abnormal. I glanced at Kit and Mayo slightly but they
were just laughing. I'm not sure if they were just pretending not to be affected or if they really didn't have one.
"No." Josh's casual answer. "Why don't you still have a girlfriend?" Drew asked. "Because of her..." Josh's
serious answer while looking at the fire. "...some of you probably already know that." I don't! Suddenly
everyone became serious. I didn't know anything about what they were saying. I'd only heard a little about
Josh. I knew he had a sixth sense or a third eye. He had a girlfriend but she died in an accident. Couldn't that
be what he was referring to? "But... Dude. He's been dead for a long time, right? Maybe you want to move on."
Felix said. That's what he was referring to. Josh smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Easy to say but hard to
do." No one spoke to us. It was so strange. It was as if the old wound had been opened and salt was poured
on it. Even though he didn't speak, I could feel the pain he felt back then. "Ask now, so this can be over." He
broke the silence. "I-is it really my third eye?" Mayo asked. The line of questioners didn't follow. It was as if the
others didn't want to ask. It was up to whoever wanted to go first. "Yeah..." He answered boredly. "...I guess it's
in our lineage. My brother, cousin, and uncle have it. Only my parents don't." Ci-N raised his hand. "What was
the unforgettable thing you saw?" Josh became serious for a moment and stared at Ci. It was as if he had
asked the wrong question or that wasn't what he should have asked. "The death of someone." His direct
answer made me shiver . "...And I don't want that." Shit! Hilarity level: 10000. "Damn! That was creepy." Eren
commented. "I have a question." I said, grabbing their attention. Josh stared at me. I could also see the anger
in his eyes. I didn't want to ask this in front of them but I didn't have a chance to talk to him alone. "Why are
you mad at me?" Their gaze shifted to him. They were waiting for him to answer. I was the same way. I knew,
they also noticed his sudden anger towards me. "It's simple... Our Section is being ruined because of you."
"Josh!" Yuri and the others shouted almost simultaneously. I wasn't hurt by what he said. It also didn't affect
your feelings. I knew that, just the beginning. "It's true... You're bothering us." He added. "Enough!" Keifer
echoed his shout. We all looked at him. Seriously! Just Kuya Angelo? He looked at Josh and he did the same
to him. I just saw Josh look at her like that. This was also the first time he looked like he was going to fight.
How arrogant! "If you don't have anything else to ask Josh, let's go back to the game." Yuri said and we
adjusted our seats again. I don't know where this game will take us. But I have a strong feeling that this won't
end without a fight.
