Jay-jay's POV
think I just had a stroke! I almost couldn't move earlier. Good thing the vendor lady called me, or else I might have completely frozen in place in front of that Kiko.
Why do guys that handsome even exist?!
I know I'm exaggerating, but seriously—he's really handsome!
That slightly curly, medium-length hair, long eyelashes, brown eyes, a perfectly sculpted jawline, kissable lips, and that tanned skin—Ahh, right? Handsome, isn't he? I'm even switching to English just to describe him!
Right now, I'm on the second floor of the Section E building, at my old spot. I'm eating alone here. I have no idea where Ci-N went. The moment I handed him his food, he ran off faster than The Flash. What a weird kid!
I finished eating and was packing up my lunchbox. Since it was still early, I thought I'd take a look around the rooms here on the second floor. I was just curious about what was here besides trash.
There were four rooms here, each with two doors. The rooms were filthy—broken jalousie windows, damaged desks and chairs. They could still be useful if they were repaired and replaced.
I stepped into one of the rooms. Papers were scattered all over the floor. I was about to leave and check the other room when I noticed a pink envelope with a heart design on the floor. It was so neatly placed that I couldn't resist picking it up.
I picked it up and dusted it off since it was covered in a thick layer of dust. I opened the envelope and saw that there was a letter inside.
It's not that I'm nosy, but my brain was itching to know what was inside. Besides, no one owns this anymore. If someone did, why was it left here? That means they don't want it anymore. Or maybe the person it was meant for never got it. Hmpf! Whatever!
Might as well open it!
The writer used stationery, and judging by the neat handwriting, it was definitely a girl.
Dear Calix,
HAPPY MONTHSARY!! I ❤ U
I'm sorry, this is all I could do for our monthsary. I've been saving up for the shoes you want, and I promise that will be my birthday gift to you.
I wanted to tell you this in person, but I'm scared because you're always mad, so I'm just writing it in this letter instead.
Calix, I want to thank you for choosing me despite all the girls chasing after you. Even though we have to keep this a secret, I'm really, really happy. Don't worry, I don't believe what people are saying—that you have another girlfriend and that you're seeing a lot of other girls. I love you so much, and I trust you completely.
Honestly, sometimes I get annoyed with you because we rarely get to see each other, and when we do, you barely pay attention to me. But of course, I can never stay mad at you. Always remember, no matter how angry or upset I get, all you have to do is shout that you love me, and all my anger will disappear.
Happy Monthsary again!! I ❤ You!
Mica 😘
Why does the name Calix sound familiar? I think he's my classmate! I don't know, I don't know them that well yet. Even though there aren't many of them, I still can't be bothered to learn their names. I'll figure it out eventually.
In love, huh? I have a feeling this Calix is a player. I know I shouldn't judge, but I just feel like it! I have a strong hunch, especially after what Mica wrote about him.
Who is this Mica, anyway? Was she also from Section E? Or maybe she used this room before it turned into a storage area?
I put the letter back inside the envelope. I was going to leave it on the floor, but I hesitated. No one owns this anymore, so I might as well keep it. I'll just pretend someone gave it to me, hehe. So, I slipped it into my bag.
I stepped out of the room and checked the one next to it since it was still early. But that room was completely locked—even the windows were painted over and sealed shut.
What's in there? Why was it sealed?
The bell rang. I hurried downstairs so I wouldn't be late for the next class. Thankfully, our classroom was far from civilization. Even the teachers arrived late. I saw my classmates looking like wilted vegetables. Yuri wasn't here, so I figured they hadn't eaten. Yuri was the one who usually brought them food since, obviously, they were the reason they couldn't go to the cafeteria.
Ci-N, as usual, had a smiling face. Keifer, on the other hand, had a poker face while sucking on a lollipop. I saw Felix pouting at me, looking like a puppy begging for food. I felt bad, so even though I only had one pack of chips, I threw it at him.
My classmates suddenly perked up. But Felix had no intention of sharing—greedy bastard! They all looked at me with puppy eyes, but I just gestured that I had nothing left. So, they hung their heads in disappointment. They looked like they were about to cry from begging.
I sat down and waited for class to start. As I waited, I suddenly felt something cold on my seat, but I ignored it since it went away quickly. Maybe my seat just got cold from being empty for so long.
During class, I had that weird feeling—like people were laughing at me. But every time I looked around, I didn't see anyone actually laughing.
Am I going crazy?!
Even in our next classes, the same thing happened. What's going on? What's with these people?! They must be messing with me again! Damn brats!
Class ended, and my classmates started leaving. I was still packing my things, so I was a bit behind. When I was finally done and about to stand up—something was wrong.
Something was REALLY wrong. My chair was stuck to me.
I looked at my skirt and—Shit! It was glued to the chair. I heard laughter near the door. Keifer was smirking, and Felix and his group were laughing.
Those damn animals! They put glue on my seat! Fvck this!!
I tried to pull myself free, but it wouldn't budge. Damn it!
I glared at Keifer.
"Don't look at me like that... I don't know anything about it," he said, smirking again.
"You bastards!"
They all burst into even louder laughter at what I said.
Ci-N came over. "What happened to you?"
"Ci! Help me!" I shouted while trying to get off the chair.
He tried pulling me off. He even placed one foot on the chair and yanked at me.
"It won't budge!" he complained.
"Ci-N! Just leave that there! Let's go home!" someone from the laughing group called out.
Damn it! Son of a—!
Ci-N looked at me and smiled. "We're going home now."
Damn this guy! Is he teasing me?!
"F*ck you! You're just gonna leave me after all this?!" Our classmates suddenly erupted in cheers. Sh*t! They gave my words a whole different meaning!
"I'm just joking! You're about to cry already!" Ci-N said, laughing.
"You bastard! When I find out who did this, I'm going to skin them alive!" I yelled in anger.
They burst into laughter again, which only made me even more furious. These damn people!
Ci-N tried to pull me up again, but even he was struggling. The more he struggled, the louder the laughter from these animals got!
"Jay, what now? It won't budge!"
Oh, so now this Ci-N is going to piss me off too?!
I glared at him. "Seriously? You're giving up on me?!"
"It's just that..." he suddenly laughed hard. "...Don't glare at me like that, you look so ugly." Damn it! he's really trying to get on my nerves!
"Ci-N!! I'm going to kill you!"
"Only if you can get out of that seat before I get home." he challenged.
This idiot!! My blood is boiling at 45°C!! I looked at the group of boys still watching us. They're still laughing, and these damn idiots... They're recording us!
I have no choice. We'll be stuck here till nighttime unless...
"Why don't you just take off your skirt?" Ci-N suggested with a mischievous grin.
The crowd erupted in cheers, and someone even whistled. Damn animals!
My face twisted in anger. "F*cking hell! Are you serious?!"
He burst into laughter again. "Just kidding!"
This b*tch! I'm about to cry from frustration! Damn it! I'm gonna run out of blood dealing with these people! But he had a point—I could take it off. I was wearing black cycling shorts underneath. They were a bit short, but they still looked like real shorts.
I tried reaching for the zipper at the back, but there was a problem—only half of it would unzip because the other half was glued down too. Sh*t! Ugh!
I'm out of options! Looks like I'm bringing this chair home with me. I was running out of ideas when I suddenly looked at Felix. This bastard still owes me a favor! I've given him Nova snacks so many times!
"Hey, Felix!" I called out. He looked at me. "Hmm?" He answered while pointing at himself.
"Oh no, you're not Felix, right?" I said sarcastically.
He just laughed in response.
"Get over here, Felix!" I shouted.
He glanced at Keifer first before walking towards us. What was that? Was he asking for permission?
"What?" he asked as he got closer.
"Help Ci-N! Get me out of here!" I ordered. He was about to argue, but I cut him off. "You owe me! I gave you food so many times!"
He paused, thinking about what I said. "Okay... I'll help you!"
He grabbed my arm, while Ci-N positioned herself behind me to hold the chair. "Okay... On the count of three—"
Ci-N interrupted Felix. "Is it after three or exactly on three—"
I yelled at him. "ON F*CKING THREE!"
They both nodded and got into position again.
"One... Two... THREE!" We all shouted together.
That feeling of finally being free... It should have been great, except that along with their pull came the sound of fabric tearing.
Tearing. It actually tore. I didn't even need to ask what it was. I also didn't need to turn around to see Ci-N's reaction. I could just feel how much he was enjoying what he was seeing.
"Wow... Nice ass."
