Yuri's POV:
I know girls usually dislike or are scared of guys causing trouble. But this girl seems to be enjoying what she's seeing. She's even slamming the table.
"GO FOR THE LRFT!" she shouted.
Left? What kind of word is that? She's so loud! It's ear-piercing! My ears hurt!
"DON'T LOSE! WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?!"
What the..... she's even louder than a boxing trainer.
"HEY! DON'T YOU DARE----AHH! GET UP!"
Fvck! I was so focused on her that I lost track of the fight. David was already down and couldn't get up. His eye was bleeding.
Keifer was still standing but was struggling to breathe. The side of his lip was turning back.
"DAVID!! GET UP-----"
"SHUT UP!!" I shouted.
She glared at me. She's just too loud, overpowering the noise from everyone else.
I nodded at Kit, signaling him to end the fight.
He stood on one of the tables again. "Start the count! 10, 9, 8, 7...."
The whole class joined in the countdown.
"..... 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1! David is down! Keifer wins!"
It's official. Keifer now has full control of Section E. He can do whatever he wants.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
**Jay-jay's POV:**
DAMN IT! I'm so annoyed! Why did Keifer win? There was definitely cheating involved!
"I'm sure Keifer cheated," I said while cleaning David's wounds.
No one even helped him. His supporters were so fickle. They all switched to Keifer's side after he won.
After the fight, they all left. They said they were going to celebrate! No one stayed with David, so I volunteered to help him.
"You don't have to do this..... " he said, weakly trying to push my hand away.
It's obvious he has no strength left, so he couldn't do anything.
"You should've won....." I said.
"Agrh!" He complained.
I accidentally pressed too hard on the side of his eye.
"Sorry...." I said and continued what I was doing.
I took the alcohol from my bag and poured some on the cloth I was holding.
"W-wait... T-that's going to sting."
"No, it won't...."
I dabbed the cloth on his face, and he jolted like he'd been electrocuted.
"Aw... Fvck!" He shouted.
"Stop being dramatic! Didn't it hurt when you got punched?!"
"That's different... Ouch!"
"It's the same thing!"
I tried to bring the cloth closer to his face. Even though he had no strength left, he kept pushing my hand away and covering his face.
"You're so stubborn..."
"Just leave it.... It'll heal even without alcohol."
Pfffttttt..... You're just scared of alcohol.
"Fine, it's up to you..." I said and put the cloth down.
He closed his eyes for a moment, as if trying to sense his surroundings. I know that when a guy loses a fight, it hits their ego hard. Maybe he's just by what happened.
He did his best. It's just that Keifer was stronger, or maybe he cheated.
"Can I ask for a favor?" He suddenly said.
"What is it?"
"Can you help me change?" He asked , slowly standing up.
I took his undershirt and helped him put it on. Even though I was being gentle, he still winced in pain from the bruises on his body.
Next, I helped him with his polo shirt. After that, he tried to walk out to the room. I followed him to support him, but he pushed me away.
He has a point. His remaining dignity would be lost if I helped him.
So I just let him be and followed behind.
It was already dark, and there were hardly any students left in the school. That's good because fewer people would see him in this state.
I let him get into a taxi first before I went home. Since it was dark and Aries was obviously not around, I decided to wait for a ride too.
I got home safely. My brother wasn't there, which explains why Aries had the guts to leave me. I was so tried that I fell asleep without having dinner.
The next day...
David didn't come to school. Maybe he's still resting. But Keifer was full of energy, smiling like nothing happened.
I'll end you one day!
We had a two-hour break because the teachers were in a meeting. So here I am, just sitting around, lost in thought.
Suddenly, Keifer sat on the bench in front of me. He was facing me, smiling.
"What di you want?" I asked sharply.
"Why didn't you join our celebration yesterday?" He asked.
Is he doing this on purpose? Isn't it obvious that my guy lost, and I have no intention of switching sides?
"I just don't want to...."
He nodded. "Too bad... you missed how we partied. Ci-N drank a lot, and we----
" You made Ci-N drink?" I asked, unable to believe it.
"Yeah..... why?"
"Why? Why are you asking?! He's probably only 14, and you made him drink!"
Wow!
"Tss. So? I was 10 when I had my first drink."
I glared at him. "That's you! Not him! Don't make him follow your footsteps!"
I glanced at Ci-N, who was slumped in his seat. He looked like he was still hungover.
"There's no difference between me and Ci-N, so it's fine-----Where are you going?"
I quickly walked away from that annoying Keifer. He's really getting on my nerves! Ci-N is too young to be drinking. I was 16 when I first tasted alcohol, and even then, I had to muster up to courage.
I headed straight to the nearest restroom. I needed to splash some water on my face to cool down. My blood might boil because of that guy.
There was no one in the restroom, so I had it all to myself. Perfect for some drama. Just kidding! Are there no ghosts here?
I splashed water on my face, just like I wanted to do. I did it a few times. The cold water felt refreshing.
Can I take a shower here?
I dried my face with tissue and went into a cubicle. I needed to relieve myself before I got an infection.
I was quietly doing my business when a group of girls suddenly entered the restroom. They were loud and laughing.
"Does this look good on me?" One of them asked, her voice sounding overly dramatic.
"Yes..... but it would look better if you weren't wearing it. Hahaha," another girl replied, sounding even more dramatic.
"Mica! Why are you so quiet?" another girl asked.
Mica?
"It's because Calix approached her again."
"Again?!"
I kept listening to them. I didn't want to come out because it felt awkward. They'd probably make fun of me.
"Girls! Have you seen Jay-jay? The transferee," one of them suddenly asked.
It's a good thing I didn't leave the cubicle. I could hear gossip about me.
"Yeah.... She's not even that pretty, unlike how Kiko described her."
Me? Not pretty? Excuse me?!
"Watch your words... She's still Papa Aries' cousin."
Yeah..... wash your words!
"Don't call him Papa..... Remember he's with Ella now."
Ella? Why does that name sound familiar---
"That Ella is such a flirt! She's gone after every famous guy in our school! Even Keifer from Section E."
Holy cow! Is Aries the one....?
"I heard she even went after Yuri."
Damn it! This gossip is getting intense.
"Jay-jay isn't that different from her. I heard she bribes Section E with food and is always clinging to Ci-N. Such a flirt!"
What the... Why am I being called a flirt?! Explain yourselft, idiot!
"She's not even pretty, and she's a flirt!"
Okay! I've had enough!
I fixed myself and flushed the toilet. I could feel the silence and anticipation from the girls waiting for whoever was in the cubicle to come out.
I walked out like coloring books. Caked with makeup, their lips were too red except for one. She looked different.
She's the one who's been quacking!
They were staring hard at my reflection. Clearly waiting for me to say or do something. While they were busy staring at my beauty, I was gathering water in my hands.
"Who was it again who said I'm not pretty?" I asked them.
No one answered, so I threw the water I had gathered at them.
"Aarrrgghhhh!!!!!....."
They screamed loudly, confused about what to do first. I took the opportunity and quickly ran out of the restromm.
"Hey! Come back here!" I heard one of them shout.
Am I stupid? Why would I go back?!
I was about to turn to quickly get back to our building, but I stopped. Aries and his classmates were there, hanging out and laughing.
"Jay...." Kiko called me.
Sorry, I can't greet you right now!
"Hey! You witch!" One of the girls shouted.
I started running again. I took a different route to get away from them
I passed through another year level's building, but they were still following me.
"Stop!" They shouted.
I reached our building and quickly ran to our classroom. Some of my classmates were surprised when I entered. I immediately slumped in my seat. I hope they didn't see me?
But it seems pointless.
"Where is she?! One of the girls angrily asked.
" Who?" One of my annoying classmates replied.
Don't point me out! You idiot!
"Jay-jay! Bring her out!"
"Why? What did she do?"
"She did something to us."
"There she is! Slumped in her seat."
Damn it! My classmate is so kind! Once I get to know you, you're dead.
I sat up straight and looked at the door where the girls who chased me were standing. My classmate who pointed me out was also there. It was Kit!
The girls were glaring at me. I could smell trouble. You're in trouble, Jay!
