Chapter 19 - Chapter 19: Punish

Jay-jay's POV:

I didn't move from my seat. I just started at them.

"Come out here!" shouted the most dramatic one, who seemed to be their leader.

"You're so shameless!" Said the second most dramatic one.

"How dare you?!" The last dramatic one angrily added.

They were missing one. There were four of them earlier, but now there were only three. As if I'd actually go out.

"Just go inside....." Kit suggested.

This guy's really going to get me in trouble!

"Eeww..... No way! Your room is full of dirt and bacteria," the leader replied.

So that's why they're forcing me to come out. I don't want to, why should I-----

Someone grabbed my arm and dragged me out.

"Face the mess you got yourself into," Keifer said.

We walked straight outside, and the three coloring books' smiles widened.

"You! You're so shameless!" their leader said, narrowing her eyes at me.

"You need that..... for your faces," I replied, pretending to be genuinely concerned for them.

I heard Kit laugh, though he tried to hide it. He quickly got a sharp glare from the three.

"You come with us!" The leader said again, grabbing my arm.

Her grip was so tight I felt her nails digging into my skin. This is Keifer's fault. He should've just left me inside.

"Ouch! That hurts!" I complained, trying to pull away.

"You'll hurt even more later!" Said the second most dramatic one.

I glanced back and saw Section E following us. Wow! They're planning to watch whatever drama these coloring books are going to put me through.

We stopped in front of Aries and his group. Oh no! I'm in trouble!

I tried to remove the leader's hand from my arm, but she tightened her grip, and her nails dug deeper.

It hurts!

"Classmates!" The leader began, grabbing everyone's attention. They were all looking at us now. Aries was also giving me a dirty look.

I glanced back and saw Section E watching. I'm so screwed!

"This girl!" The leader of the coloring books said, poitnig at me, "..... She disrespected us in the restroom. Me! I'm Freya Hidalgo! This girl humiliated me!" She suddenly poked my head. My neck almost snapped, and I felt her nails digging into my scalp.

"Ouch!" I complained, holding my head.

"That's what you deserve! You didn't respect us!" Shouted the second most dramatic one.

You're now Canvas-1!

"Yeah..... Don't you know who we are?" Added the last most dramatic one.

You're Canvas-2!

Their faces were caked with makeup. They looked like paintings in a museum.

I pretended to think, even though I really didn't care.

"No," I quickly replied.

Their leader, Freya, clutched her chest dramatically, pretending to be hurt. I saw Kiko laugh, but Aries still had a storm look on his face.

"That's why you had the guts to disrespect us..." Freya said, pretending to wipe tears. She turned to her classmaress. "... Section A. Look at her! Look at this disrespectful girl!"

So she's from Section A too. Didn't notice.

"Can I go back to the room now?" I innocently asked.

We already looked stupid here. Their little scene was pointless.

"No! You'll stay here!" Freya shouted.

"You should be punished! You disrespected the Queen Bee!" Canvas-1 added.

"Huh?"

"Freya! Before you punish her, I think you should know who she is," Kiko interjected.

Wow. I thought he was going to be my hero and help me. They already know me!

"And so? Who is she? She's just a transferee here," Canvas-2 said sarcastically, rolling her eyes.

Nice! Keep rolling those eyes!

"She's my cousin," Aries said flatly.

Shit! Is this the moment where Aries finally helps me? Is he proud enough to announce that I'm his cousin?

".... But that doesn't mean she's immune to your punishment," He added.

Wow! Just wow!

I thought he'd defend me and say, 'She's my cousin, so just let it go.' Of course, that wouldn't happen, but I still hoped.

"OMG! Did you see that, girls? Even if she's Aries' cousin, it's useless," Freya said dramatically.

Should I just slap her? Her face is annoying, and her way of talking is even more annoying.

They say if you're not pretty, at least be kind. But these girls? They're not pretty, and they're not kind either.

"Girls?" Freya said, and Canvas-2 left.

She went somewhere I didn't know, but she came back holding a bucket filled with dirty water. It looked like mop water.

"Jay-jay..... I want to explain the system here at HVIS to you. First thing you should know, Section A is the royalty Section. We gat all the privileges here. Of course, we're best at everything. That's why DISRESPECTING US is a huge mistake," Freya explained.

Shoooooot! This might be the end of me.

".... And since the other Section are here, let me introduce them to you," she added. That's when I noticed that other Sections had gathered around us. I saw Rakki looking worried.

"..... Section B, they're know for being 'HARDWORKING.' Hardworking in everything. If you clash with them, you'll become hardworking too. They'll chase you if you bully them."

I saw a group of students smile and high-five each other. They must be Section B.

"..... Section C. I have nothing bad to say about their Section. They're kind, but only if those who are kind of them. But if you treat them like a bitch, you'll encounter HELL."

I looked at Rakki, but I didn't see them feeling proud about what Freya said. To me, they're always be kind, even though our first meeting was embarrassing.

"..... Section D. Actually, D is almost the same as E. The only difference is that they still have hope in life. Hope to improve. And I like D because they follow Section A," She said, winking at a group of students.

In other words, D follows A. Wow! Just wow! As if I care about what she said. I have no intention of befriending them anyway. She just wasted her breath explaning.

"You understand everything I said right?" Freya asked me.

I gave her a curt nod.

"You forgot something, Freya..." Aries said, crossing his arms.

"Oh yeah... Thank you for reminding me, Aries," Freya said, turning back to me. ".... Section E...."

I felt the presence of Section E, along with their heavy aura. It seemed like trouble was brewing.

"..... That's your Section, so you should remember this. They're the dregs of society. The school board doesn't even consider that Section anymore. You fit right in there because you're just disrespectful as them. Trouble-makers, disrespectful, hopeless, and they never back down from a fight."

She didn't even bother to shorte it----Section E is the most worthless of all.

This girl is so arrogant just because she's in Section A. What was she again? Queen Bee?

Queen of the bees?

No wonder she's so loud. She's like a buzzing bee in my ears.

"Told you so..... She really fits in that Section," I heard Aries say.

I clenched my fist! I'm not annoyed because of what Aries said. I'm annoyed because Section E is being humiliated in front of everyone. Yes, they already knew that, but it's different when you hear it directly, especially now that I'm part of them

"Are you done?" I asked Freya

I was struggling to hold back. I felt like I might hurt her at any moment.

"Yeah...." She smiled and turned to the other students. "..... I don't want to be called mean, so I'll give you a deal."

I heard the two Canvas girls laugh.

"I won't humiliate you, as long as you kneel and apologize to me."

Wouldn't I still be humiliated if I did that?

"That's it....."

"That's too easy, Freya!"

"That's way too easy!"

Her classmates shouted. Easy? Why don't you do it yourselves?

"Yeah... They're right. Uhmmm.... Okay, you'll kneel, say sorry, then kiss my shoe, and also....."

Wow! That's way too much humiliation

"That's enough, Freya....." Kiko said.

It was obvious he wasn't happy with that Freya was doing.

Are you concerned about me? Ayyiieeehhh!

But this isn't the time for me to get giddy. I'm getting annoyed by this girl's attitude.

"Hmmm..... Okay! If you say so. Babe," Freya replied to Kiko.

Babe? Babe?! BABE?!

My heart hurts. Just kidding, but of course, I still have a crush on Kiko, so that hurt a little.

"So, Jay-jay.... What do you say?"

Fvck you! Is what I can say!

"What if I don't do what you want?" I asked.

"I don't know.... maybe you'll suffer from our punishment?" She replied, though it was obvious she was just acting.

Tss. So dramatic!

I glanced at Canvas-2, who was putting something in the bucket she brought earlier. I didn't see what it was, but I didn't want to get near it.

What should I do? How do I get out of this mess I got myself into? T_T
