Chapter: The Most Chaotic Family Ever Created
(Jay's POV)
If there's one thing I've learned about Section E, it's this: give us five minutes and we'll either start a war… or produce the most unhinged masterpiece in school history.
And this time?
We chose chaos.
It all started when Keifer stood in the middle of our classroom, clapped his hands like some dramatic CEO, and announced,
"Guys. Since everyone's doing tragic romance or horror or whatever boring thing… we're doing a FAMILY PLAY."
I leaned back in my chair. "Family? You can't even manage yourself, Mark Keifer Watson."
He smirked. "Relax, Mrs. Watson."
The entire section screamed.
"AYEEEE!"
I threw a notebook at him. "Shut up before I remove your surname permanently."
But honestly? The idea was genius.
So we built it.
And not just any family.
We built the most dramatic, scandalous, loud, over-the-top family in existence.
The Cast of Disaster
Father: Marcus Watson – played by Keifer
Mother: Isabella Watson – played by me (obviously, because I carry everything)
Our three children:
Ethan Watson – played by Felix
Liam Watson – played by Ci N
Sophia Watson – played by Freya
Two daughters-in-law:
Aira – played by Aya (Felix's dramatic wife)
Rakki – as Liam's savage wife
Sophia's boyfriend:
Noah – played by Erdix
Grandparents:
Grandpa Antonio – Denzel
Grandma Lucia – Grace
Uncle and Tita:
Uncle Marco – Calix
Tita Bella – Mica
My brother:
Adrian – Aries
Adrian's wife:
Clara – Ella
And of course the rest of Section E:
Yuri, David, Rory, Kit, Mayo, Blaster, Emman, Eren, Josh, Drew — all playing neighbors, cousins, police officers, delivery guys, random relatives who show up uninvited.
Because apparently we needed a whole barangay inside one play.
First Rehearsal = Immediate Regret
"Okay," I said, clapping my hands. "We start with a happy family dinner scene."
Felix raised his hand. "Mom, do I get inheritance?"
"YOU HAVEN'T EVEN ACTED YET," I snapped.
Ci N grinned. "Mom, Dad loves me more."
Keifer wrapped an arm around Ci N dramatically. "Of course, my favorite son."
I stood up slowly. "Say that again."
Felix jumped up. "Dad I suddenly feel unloved."
Freya sighed. "Why is this family already toxic?"
Erdix, leaning against the wall, said, "As Sophia's boyfriend, I feel like I should just run away now."
"YOU DON'T RUN," I yelled. "YOU SUFFER WITH US."
The section clapped.
The Family Drama Scene
We began rehearsing.
I stood center stage. "Marcus, where have you been?"
Keifer loosened his collar like he was in some K-drama. "Isabella, I work hard for this family."
Rakki coughed loudly. "Cheater vibes."
The whole class burst into laughter.
"SHUT UP," Keifer shouted, laughing.
I walked toward him slowly. "You think money can replace love?"
Blaster whispered to Mayo, "This feels too real."
I turned sharply. "YOU TWO ARE THE GOSSIP NEIGHBORS. ACT PROPERLY."
Mayo instantly straightened. "Yes ma'am."
Daughter-in-Law Chaos
Aya (as Aira) flipped her imaginary hair. "Mother, I cooked pasta."
Felix whispered to her, "You can't cook."
Aya whispered back, "Shut up or I'll divorce you."
I gasped dramatically. "DIVORCE? In my Christian household?"
Grace as Grandma Lucia grabbed Denzel's arm. "Antonio, this generation is wild."
Denzel nodded. "Back in my day we only eloped."
We all screamed.
Ci N and Rakki's Scene
Ci N placed his hand over his heart. "Mother, I love Rakki."
Rakki crossed her arms. "And I tolerate him."
I squinted at Keifer. "Your son married someone like me."
Keifer smirked. "Explains the attitude."
I stepped on his foot.
He yelped.
Section E cheered.
Freya and Erdix
Freya dramatically flipped her hair. "Mother, this is Noah."
Erdix bowed. "I promise to protect Sophia."
Keifer crossed his arms. "Do you have money?"
"Dad!" Freya yelled.
Erdix said calmly, "Sir, I have emotional stability."
The room went silent.
I blinked. "We don't accept that here. Next."
Enter Uncle Marco & Tita Bella
Calix strutted in. "Who's fighting? I brought popcorn."
Mica followed dramatically. "Family meetings are better than Netflix."
Rory whispered, "They're too accurate."
Kit added, "This is literally my house every Sunday."
Aries' Entrance
Aries walked in like he owned the stage.
"As Isabella's older brother, I demand respect."
Keifer scoffed. "You live in my house."
Aries glared. "TEMPORARILY."
Ella as Clara stood beside him sweetly. "Please don't fight."
I hugged Aries. "Finally someone sane."
Keifer gasped. "Excuse me?"
Yuri's Role
Yuri, who had been quiet, raised an eyebrow. "What's my role?"
"You," I said sweetly, "are the mysterious rich neighbor who low-key competes with Marcus."
The class went wild.
Keifer narrowed his eyes. "Why does he have to be rich?"
I shrugged. "Because he can act it."
"OHOOOOO!" Section E screamed.
Keifer clutched his chest dramatically. "My own wife betrays me."
I leaned in close. "Act better then."
The Most Chaotic Scene Ever
We rehearsed the climax.
Grandpa Antonio (Denzel) announces he's giving inheritance to the most responsible child.
Felix and Ci N start fighting.
Freya cries.
Rakki shouts.
Aya faints dramatically.
Erdix tries to mediate.
Yuri enters with sunglasses and slow claps.
Blaster accidentally drops a chair.
Josh screams for no reason.
Drew pretends to call police.
Eren yells, "THIS IS A DISASTER."
And in the center of it all?
Me and Keifer.
I point at him. "THIS IS YOUR FAULT."
He points at me. "YOU RAISED THEM."
I gasp. "I carried them for nine months!"
Ci N whispers, "Not biologically but okay."
I throw a pillow at him.
The Improvised Kiss Scene (Because Of Course)
During rehearsal, Keifer suddenly grabs my hand.
"Isabella," he says softly.
I narrow my eyes. "Don't you dare improvise."
He pulls me closer anyway.
"Despite this crazy family… I love you."
The class goes silent.
I try not to smile.
"Say your line," he whispers.
"You're off script," I whisper back.
"Trust me."
I roll my eyes dramatically. "Fine. I tolerate you, Marcus."
The section boos.
He leans closer. "That's not romantic."
I whisper, "You're not romantic."
And then he pretends to kiss my forehead.
Section E explodes.
Rory: "BROOOO."
Mayo: "THE CHEMISTRY."
Freya: "I FEEL SINGLE."
Yuri just shakes his head.
Final Practice Chaos
By the end of rehearsal:
Felix and Aya were arguing about imaginary bills.
Ci N kept calling me "Mom" even offstage.
Rakki started making up dramatic backstory.
Erdix was too calm for our family.
Aries tried to steal scenes.
Ella kept fixing everyone's "costumes."
Denzel and Grace were enjoying their grandparent authority too much.
Calix and Mica were gossiping in character and out of character.
Blaster broke another chair.
Mayo recorded everything.
Eren kept yelling, "Focus!"
Josh randomly added sound effects.
Drew suggested adding a fight scene.
Kit kept laughing at the wrong moments.
David volunteered to be the delivery guy who always arrives at the worst time.
Emman wanted to play a dramatic lawyer.
Yuri smirked every time Keifer forgot lines.
And me?
I stood in the center of it all.
Looking at this ridiculous, loud, dramatic section.
And I smiled.
"Okay listen up!" I shouted.
Everyone quieted down.
"This play?" I said, pointing at all of them. "Is going to be the funniest thing this school has ever seen."
Keifer walked beside me. "Because we're in it."
I rolled my eyes. "Because I'm in it."
The section screamed.
He leaned close and whispered, "You know… this fake family thing?"
"What?"
"Feels a little real."
I froze for half a second.
Then I smirked. "Don't get emotional, Marcus."
He grinned. "Too late, Isabella."
Ci N yelled from the back, "Mom and Dad flirting again!"
Felix added, "Can we increase my inheritance now?"
Freya threw a script at them.
Yuri shook his head. "This family needs therapy."
I crossed my arms confidently.
"No," I said proudly. "This family needs a stage."
And trust me…
When Section E performs?
The world better be ready.
Because the Watson family?
Is coming.
And we don't do normal.
We do legendary chaos.
