Jay-jay's POV:
"Ci! I said no, right? I don't even know why it happened to me. Stop being so annoying!" I snapped him.
"But has it happened to you before?" He asked again.
Before? Yes.....
"I don't remember."
"Is that even possible?"
"Of course... Do you remember everything you did 10 years ago? Every single thing?"
He went quiet and thought about it. Then he smiled at me and shook his head.
"See...."
He just pouted and scratched his head. I'm right, after all. He's just being annoying----sometimes I feel like slapping him.

**Keifer's POV:**
"Any update?" I asked Edrix and Rory.
"Yup..... I've got their private information," Rory answered.
Rory is really the best at gathering information in my group. He can even get someone's NSO copy. I don't know how he does it, but according to him, he has his ways, thanks to his father, who works as a private investigator and owns his own firm.
"How about Ci-N? Is he doing his job?" I asked.
"He's with Jay-jay right now, just like you wanted," Edrix answered.
That's great. Once I have all the information I need, I can start the plan.
It's not a big plan, but it's enough to gauge his reaction to everything I do to his cousin. If things go well, I can execute my final plan, and I'll make sure he pays for everything.

**Jay-jay's POV:**
Our morning class ended quickly. That's how it feels when your mind is somewhere else. It's lunchtime, and I plan to go back to my usual spot to eat.
I was about to stand up when Ci-N approached me with a big smile.
"What?" I asked him.
His smile suddenly faded, and he looked sad, "You forgot?"
I looked at him, confused. "Forgot what?"
"Ah... she really forgot."
Poor kid! Haha.
"Just kidding..... Of course, I remember."
He's so fun to mess with. He probably thought I forgot about my promise to bring him food. That's what I promised him the other day.
His big smile returned. "Thank you....."
"Let's go to my spot....." I invited him, and he followed.
I didn't want to give him the food I prepared in front of the others because they might take it. But I don't think they will. They're still ignoring me.
It's fine with me. EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE THE ONES WHO MESSED WITH ME! How shamless! They're the ones who pranked me before, and now they have the nerve to ignore me. Have some shame!
Ci-N and I reached my spot. I handed him the other lunchbox I brought. Next time, I'll bring a Bento Box so it's bigger and has more food.
"Is this called Bistek?" Ci-N asked, inspecting the food.
"Yeah..." I replied.
I was already eating. I don't like being asked questions while I'm chewing. Ha can figure it out himself! We're in a fight right now. Hehe.
We are it silence. He probably noticed I don't like talking while eating.
I finished before Ci-N, so I waited for him.
"Jay....." He started while chewing. "... Are you and Aries enemies?"
No... but he's mad at me.
"Not really..... Why do you ask?"
He swallowed before speaking. "I don't see you two talking. But you come to school together, and then there's what happened during P.E."
"We're just one close, that's all."
Yeah.... That's it.
He just nodded and went back to eating. After he finished, he handed me the lunchbox.
It's still early, so we didn't leave yet. Chill mode: On!
"What did your mom say when you came home with a red nose?" He asked, laughing.
Is he teasing me?
Red nose, really?!
"Nothing..... She didn't see it," I replied half-heartedly. She's too busy with her new husband to care about me.
"She didn't see it? How------"
"We don't leave together. I'm just staying with Aries."
I didn't want to talk about this, but Ci-N has been asking a lot of questions today. It's fine since we're friends now, but I'm still not comfortable sharing too much.
He went quiet for a moment. I hope he got the hint. He turned to me and smiled. Why does his smile feel different?
"Let's play a game..... "
He's such a kid!
"What game?"
"20 questions..... We take turns asking, and you can't repeat a question. You also can't answer with 'secret' or 'I don't know'. "
What's his problem? Can't he take a hint? But maybe he's just trying to cheer me up. Maybe he's just keeping me entertained.
"Fine.... but I'll ask first." He smiled and nodded at me. "..... Why did Keifer दो that to me?"
His smile disappeared, and he didn't answer. He tried to avoid my gaze. As if! I need answers too.
"W-well..... b-because....."
"Let's not continue this if you don't want to."
"I-it's not that I don't want to answer. I might get scolded be Keifer."
I let out a deep sigh, "Are you scared of him?"
He avoided my gaze. "Yes... I owe him. And look at me compared to him."
I'm not happy with what I'm hearing. That guy is such a bully! I'm annoyed, not because of what he did to me, but because I feel like he can get away with anything.
"Let's go back....." I said, standing up.
"Ci-N followed me. As we reached the last step, I stopped.
" Go ahead to the room. I'll catch up, " I said without looking at him.
"Huh? It's almost time."
"I know....."
"Okay," He replied and left to go back to the room.
I'm annoyed. I don't want to see Keifer. I don't want to see the whole Section E either. Keifer is just one person, and if you think about it, they could stand up to him, but they don't.
What's his deal? What's Keifer's deal? What's your deal?
In my frustration, I kicked the broken bench lying on the ground. It hurt a little, but my anger toward that jerk was stronger.
Your day will come, Keifer!
"It's already broken, and you're breaking it more."
Speaking of the devil!
He was holding a baseball again. He was tossing it in the air while looking at me.
I crossed my arms and glared at him. "Mind your own business!"
"Tss. What's your problem?" He asked, sounding bored.
"None of your business."
He smirked and walked back to the room but stopped when he passed me. "By the way, the re-election is later. It didn't happen last time. Support me, okay?"
How shameless! Drop deal! I won't support you! As if!
He went back to the room, and the bell rang. I wasn't planning to go back yet, but I saw the teacher coming. Pfftttt....
As usual, no one paid attention to me. Ci-N was forcing a smile. He seemed deep in thought.
Class ended, and it was time to go home. I'm usually excited to go home, but today feels boring. It's all Keifer's fault!
When the teacher left, the whole class started arranging the chairs and tables. They placed them on the sides, forming a square.
Is this how they do re-election?
The two candidates were inside the square, while the rest of us were outside. It looked like a boxing ring, and we were the audience.
"Same as before... Last man standing wins and becomes the president of Section E! Ki explained to everyone.
What?
Last man standing? What kind of election is this? I thought elections were about voting.
David and Keifer took off their polo shirts. They even removed their undershirts. Wow!
David has muscles, even though he's skinny. But they're nothing compared it Keifer's. Keifer's body is too big for David. It's not a fair fight!
They both assumed boxing stances.
Oh my God....
Seriously? Is this really their re-election? Boxing?
The class erupted into cheers.
"Go David!"
"Take him down, Keifer!"
"Keifer!"
"Keifer! You can do it!"
Keifer had more supporters. Poor David.
Kit stood on one of the tables. "Let the fight begin!!" He shouted, and the class started banging on the tables.
David threw the first punch, but Keifer dodged it. Keifer countered, but David also dodged.
They stepped back for a moment, probably warming up.
Go for it, David!
Wait..... Why am I even getting involved?!
David charged again. Keifer dodged once more, but David followed up with another punch.
KEIFER WENT DOWN!!
"GO ON!! HIT HIM!! I shouted.
I was surprised at myself, but no one around me seemed to care. It's probably fine if I cheer.
Keifer got up, clearly angry. Before David could regain his stance, Keifer landed a punch. David went down.
" That's cheating.... HEY! YOU'RE A CHEATER!" I yelled, slamming the table.
Keifer and others looked at me. What? I'm right!
David got up and returned to the fight. They exchanged a few punches. David went down again, clearly exhausted.
This can't be! My guy's going to lose!
I went closer to his spot and started shouting. "DAVID! DON'T LOSE TO THAT JERK!"
Keifer glared at me, and David looked at me irritably.
"Tsk! You're so loud!" David complained.
" I DON'T CARE! JUST BEAT THAT IDIOT!" I shouted as David got up again.
It really felt like a boxing match. Donaire vs. Pacquiao. Of course, both fighters are Filipino!
I just hope Keifer doesn't win.
Lose, Keifer!!
