Sammy's POV
"Janna, I have a question." Justin said then seated beside me.
We’re here at the student's lounge. We have a two-hour break so we decided to do our assignment in other subjects in advance.
"Janna…" he then said again when I ignored him.
"Janna, at least take a glance at him. He really needed some attention because he doesn’t have any at their home.” Luke then commented that made Justin glare at him.
"Attention-seeker? Me? I think you are referring to yourself.” Justin countered but Luke just laughed it off then continue doing his assignment.
"Janna, please! I really have a question." This time, I decided to look at him.
"Justin, can you please spare me with your squid-related questions? Since this morning, that was the only thing you are blabbering. It’s not even funny.” I said which earned a stifled laugh from both Adri and Luke.
"What I am going to ask is not about squids anymore. I’m serious.” He defended himself.
Okay. I’ll give him a chance. And if ever he has the guts to mention about the squids again, he will be deported to Jupiter.
"Alright, what’s your question?" I gave in for our sake. We have some assignments to finish.
"One plus one?" I gave him a death glare.
"What?" he immediately asked.
"I thought you are asking a serious question? One plus one? Are you kidding me?”
"I’m serious, Janna. Just answer my question. One plus one?” I swear to God, I am so close to Justin Anthony Monteverde disappear on earth.
"Can’t you add? Omg, Justin. You mean to say you passed our college entrance exam and graduated in elementary and high school without knowing how to add?”
"Of course I know it. I was an honorable mention of our batch.” He haughtily said.
He’s so conceited. I can’t.
"Oh, so you know how to. Now, shut up your mouth. We are answering our assignments.” I answered him.
Tss! He’s annoying. One plus one?
"Janna, please. Answer my question first.” He insists again. He is a child trapped inside a seventeen-year-old body.
Can I just throw him on a black hole? He’s so bothersome!
"Fine... one plus one? Two." I barely said then proceed to focus on my assignments again.
"Wrong!" he replied that made me creased my forehead.
Huh? Wrong? One plus one is two, right? What is he saying?
"You’re answer is wrong. One plus one is eleven. It should be eleven because you have to combine those two ones.” He said again. And I swear, I rolled my eyes exaggeratedly out of frustration.
"Oh, how about this one, two plus two?”
I was about to answer him when I remember that I should not answer him seriously.
"Two plus two? Twenty-two.”2+2?" I answered again, this time the disinterest in my voice can be heard.
I heard him 'Tsked'. What’s the matter this time?
"Wrong! Tch! Weren’t you are the Valedictorian on your batch since Elementary? You can’t even answer the basic addition correctly. Janna, two plus two is four.” I automatically froze after I heard him say that.
Did he just humiliate me?
There's a smirked on his face when I look at him. Argh! Someone get this annoying child away from me! I’m about to dissect him.
"Shut up, Justin! Spare me from your childishness. I’m so close to losing my remaining will not do something to you because trust me, you will not like it.” I said through gritted teeth. Patience! I need more patience!
"Really? But what if I will come to like whatever it is? Could it be the 'YES'? Will you finally allow me to? I will surely like it. No, I will definitely love it.” He mischievously answered that earned another death glare from me to him.
This man! I don’t know if I will be happy and at ease now that he’s back to his annoying old self or not. Can he just be cold and quiet again?
I just choose to ignore him and divert my attention to doing my assignments.
"Janna... Janna." He called and whether you believe or not he keeps on bugging me for hours now. I don’t even have any idea how I finished answering all our assignment amidst the big distraction beside me.
"Justin, can you please stop? Shut up. My ears are hurting because of your endless talking and calling my name. You aren’t a lost child to act that way.” I said then put all my books and notes inside my bag. I saw Luke and Adri do the same.
"I’m serious this time. And this will be the last one for today. I promise.” I ignored him and instead of answering his stupid question, I just rose to my feet.
We are about to leave him when he suddenly spoke again.
"Janna, why are you so pretty?" he asked which made me stop on my track and look at him.
Is he serious?
I was about to ask him if he’s okay but what he said next made me speechless.
"Can you explain it on a one-whole manila paper back to back, in italic? One spacing." I glared at him.
I also closed my eyes and took a deep breath for a second. Controlling my temper.
I looked at Luke and Adri, they are just looking at us.
"Let’s go." I said.
"I’m serious, Janna. Why are you so pretty?” he asked again.
I looked at him for one last time before I say…
"It is because I am a goddess since birth. Satisfied with my answer” I said then turn my back on him.
We continue walking after that. And since we are not that far away from him, I heard what he just said.
But not for me this time. He's pertaining to the other girl I guess.
"Hi, miss. Can I ask you a question? Why are you so beautiful? It took me only a glance before I realized that you are.” He continuously said.
I heard how the girl laughed. Huh! They can be together forever, I don’t care. I can even send them to the earth’s mantle or core to give them some privacy.
Instead of giving him the attention he wants, I just continue walking. Ugh, Justin is so annoying.
Boys are like gossip, just hear them out but don’t ever let them fool you by believing them.
