Jay-jay's POV
"*Yaaawwwwwnnnnn....*" Ci-N yawned while walking. "... I'm still sleepy." "Me too... It's your fault! You're so
squeamish." I said to her angrily. "If you had told me who your 'I love you' is, we could have both fallen asleep."
I immediately looked at him with a frown. His mouth was so noisy. We were like that last night, I don't know
what time we fell asleep. "Don't be so noisy! It's annoying! That's why I don't want to tell you!" He made it
difficult for me. "I'll report you to Keifer there." Hahahaha... That's your report! We continued walking. When we
arrived at school, we immediately saw the big tarpaulin in front of the main building. It was the school's event
schedule. Valentine's Day was coming up. But before that, we had to hold our retreat. Why so early? "Pffttt...
Early retreat. Baduy!" Ci commented and continued walking. I followed him and Calix and I were still together,
looking like he had just brought Mica to their room. "What happened to your eyes?" He asked us. The little boy
immediately pointed at me. "It's his fault!" "What's wrong with me?! How embarrassing your behavior is!"
"You!" "You!" "Oh! Are you really going to fight here?" Calix and I said so we stopped. "...as if you don't know." Ci
and I looked at each other and we gestured again. I glared at him a few times . We were repeating what we did
last night. We reached the room, but before I could even step inside, I stopped walking. "Why?" They asked
me. I just shook my head. "You go ahead... I'll just have to look." They both nodded and went inside. The truth
is, I'm not ready to see Yuri yet. I'm ashamed of him. So ashamed... I don't know if I should tell him the truth or
what. I don't want to hurt him but I also don't want to make him wait any longer. But it would be painful if I
didn't tell her and made her feel bad about nothing. Maybe it would be better if I told her the truth. But I just
don't know how. I'll probably think it all over first. I don't want to surprise her. I know that there's only one result
if I do this. She'll still be hurt. I went inside. Like the usual sernayo. They were making a fuss, arguing, teasing,
mocking and whatnot. Yuri was already sitting in her seat. She immediately smiled at me when she saw me. I
did the same to her."Why did Angelo call me last night?" He opened his mouth. "H-ha? W-what's that... Y-
because..." I hesitated. It was obvious that he was waiting for my answer. "...y-he didn't see me right away. He
thought we were still together." He just nodded in acceptance of my answer. Wow! How can I say that? I
looked at Hari's chair. As usual, he wasn't there yet. It must have been later, he was! He was still in school
hours, even though the school staff was there. The staff and teachers were earlier. But I can't blame him,
maybe because he was still taking care of Keigan and Keiren before he went to school. What I don't
understand is. How could he have kicked his father out of their house. The weird thing is, that's the only time
I've ever seen or heard of a son kicking his father out. How could that be? I also remembered what he said
about Yuri. I kept looking at him. He was reading notes and marking down important details in the lesson. Is
he jealous or envious of Yuri? After all, Yuri's family is complete compared to her. She's also envious because
no one cares about her but I understand why. She's so strong, people often care about the weak or the ones
who always need help. That's probably why many people think she doesn't need to be cared about. And that's
what came to my mind. Haaay... The King of Cobras also has a soft spot. Sir Alvin has arrived. Class is about
to start. I looked at the door because I knew the snake was coming. I don't know how long I've been looking at
it. But I couldn't see it because of her shadow . Where is she?
"He's not coming." Yuri suddenly said.
I looked at him in surprise. "Huh?"
"Keifer isn't coming if he's the one you're waiting for.
His dad is home and he's facing a big problem again
." He explained.
He's home? When? He didn't tell me anything last night. Wait a minute!
"W-what's my business... Besides, Keifer isn't the one
I'm waiting for." I hesitated.
Maybe he'd notice me. I wasn't ready to tell him yet.
I hadn't even thought of the right words to use.
But why wasn't the kid coming? I couldn't help but
worry. What a bad trip!
Our class with Sir Alvin ended and it looked like he wasn't coming.
He didn't text me or anything. Even in our next subjects,
there was still nothing.
I tried texting him because I didn't get a response from
him.
"You're so quiet..." Eren and I commented to each other.
"Huh?"
"Still floating." Felix added so I looked at him evilly.
"Maybe he just misses Keifer." Drew teased me and
was followed by a loud scream from them.
I barely glanced at Yuri who was just looking at his notes.
I knew he was listening.
"Maybe it's not Keifer he misses." Ci-N hissed. "...Maybe it's
you----"
"HEH! SHUT YOUR MOUTH!" I cut him off.
They all looked at me because of my scream. Ci-N suddenly looked
at me in a confused way.
"Why are you defensive?" He asked angrily.
"I don't know!" "Oh! I
don't want to tell you----"
"Ci!" I yelled at him.
I was starting to get annoyed by what he was doing. He was making fun of me in front of the
whole class. To make matters worse, Yuri was here too. When he found out,
it would be the end.
Suddenly, someone meowed from the door.
Ci-N automatically turned around to look at it.
Edy!
This little boy ran faster than Sonic and approached the cat but he
was already far away.
"I'll kill you, Edy!" He shouted.
He still couldn't move.
"He didn't say Edy was his name!" Josh shouted while following
Ci and the cat.
Come on! Go! Let's chase after the cat. I remembered Cecilio
Susuman. I have a cat!
"What is Ci-N saying?" Felix asked.
"That's nothing... We're just messing around at home."
"How is Ci-N doing with you?" Eren asked.
"It's fine... He's just messy."
"Let's go to sleep?" Drew asked.
For some reason I couldn't understand. Suddenly
my feelings became heavy and I felt a strange aura.
Even though he wasn't talking and seemed to be busy with his notes. I knew it was
Yuri. He and Keifer were the same.
"H-no... He has his own bed on the floor." I answered quickly and
the strange feeling disappeared.
"But he sees you naked?" Drew asked again.
Felix gave him a hard slap on the back of the head. "You're an idiot for asking."
"That hurts!" Drew complained.
If I were by his side, I wouldn't just slap him.
I might even punch him.
Our next teacher had arrived so they went back to
their seats. Josh had just returned, carrying Ci-N by the collar on
his back.
Hari hadn't come in at all. He wasn't answering
my texts either.
Tsk! I'm so angry!
That was all I could think about until I got home. I didn't
understand anything they taught us----which was nothing new to me----thinking about
him.
I also didn't have a proper dinner. I just played with
the food on my plate.
"What's wrong Jay?" Ci-N asked me when we got back to the room.
I shook my head immediately. "It's nothing."
"Are you sure? You're so funny." He said.
"Don't pay attention to me." I replied to him.
I immediately took my phone. And walked out of the room.
I tried to call him but no one answered.
What happened to you?
I just cried for some reason I didn't understand.
My annoyance and worry for him were mixed.
What if his dad had done something to him that I didn't know about. Or
maybe they were having a fight with them.
Irritating! My imagination was getting involved.
"Are you okay, Jay?" Kuya asked.
Aries just left the room so he looked
at me too. I immediately wiped my tears.
"W-nothing... I just went to bed."
Kuya and Aries looked at each other as if they didn't want to accept my reason.
I didn't wait for what they would say. I went back to the room and immediately
went straight to the bathroom. I cleaned myself up and changed my clothes.
I didn't want to think about anything anymore. I'm going to sleep. It's a good thing
my body knows how to get along.
Maybe it was also because of fatigue, I fell asleep on my own. In the middle of
resting and my beautiful dream about ice cream island.
A call woke me up.
King Ulupong Calling...
I DON'T WANT TO ANSWER! But I pressed the green button. Badtrip!
"Ba----"
["I miss you..."] He opened it for me.
Here he is!
I looked at Ci-N who was snoring next to me. Maybe he could hear me again
.
"What happened to you? Why did you just call now?" I asked
him.
Why am I still rambling? I want to know if he's okay.
["Long story... You? How are you? Did Yuri move while
I was away?"]
"You're crazy... I was worried about you. And then you're still worrying about that."
He laughed a little. ["I didn't mean that. I just had a lot
to take care of, and I don't know when I'll be able to come in."]
"What are you doing?"
["Family problem."]
"Can't you even send a text?"
Suddenly, the other line went silent. I thought the call had died
so I looked at my phone but it was still there.
"Hey... What's wrong with you?"
["You're so cute when you're like that."]
What?
"Huh?"
["When you're sulking. How I wish I could see your face right now."]
"Can I send you a picture?" I offered while laughing.
My annoyance with him suddenly disappeared. That was so bad! I couldn't stand it anymore.
["Sure... Nude photo please."]
Oh my gosh!
"If I could just hang up on this call and never talk to you
again." I said annoyed.
If only I wasn't in the room with him, I would have yelled at him.
["Hahahaha... I'm just kidding. But seriously, what are you wearing
now?"]
I glanced at what I was wearing. Luckily, there was a little light in
my room from the lamp next to Ci.
"Superman t-shirt, why?"
["Aahh... I'm just wearing boxers. I'm wearing my favorite
reindeer boxer."] His boasting.
Annoyed! That reminded me even more. This idiot is giving me ideas!
"I don't know about you... I'm going to sleep."
["Okay... Good night my life. I hope you'll have very sweet dreams. I
love you to infinity and beyond."]
If only I could scream out loud. Kingina! Kingina! Aaaagggghhhh!!....
"Good night and sweet dreams too. I love..." I looked at Ci.
She was wide-eyed and looking at me again. "...Me."
