Chapter 17 - Chapter-17

Re-Election


Jay-jay's POV


"Are you afraid of blood?" Ci-N asked.
That was a while ago. I was almost annoyed. As soon as I entered the room,
I was approached and asked about what happened during
our PE.
I said no but he didn't want me to stop.
"Ci! It's not true, is it? I don't know why I did that either.
It's a shame!" I answered him irritably.
"But has that happened to you before?" He asked again.
Before? Yes..
"I don't remember."
"Is that possible?"
"Yes, of course... You remember what you did 10 years ago? Everything
?"
He paused and thought. He smiled at me and shook his head.
"You see.."
He just pouted while scratching his head. I'm right.
It's just a shame because it's nice to be slapped sometimes.

Keifer's POV
"Any updates?" I ask Edrix and Rory.
"Yup.. I got their private information." Rory answer.
Rory is really the best information seeker in my group.
He can even get someone's NSO copy. I don't know how he did that but according to
him he has his ways thanks to his father that is working as a private
investigator and owned its own firm.
"How about Ci-N? Is she doing her job?" I ask.
"She's with Jay-jay now like you want." Edrix answer.
That's great. I just need to get all the information I need so
I can start the plan.
It's not a big plan but enough to know
her reaction to everything I do to her cousin. If things went well,
I can do my last plan and I will make sure he'll pay
everything.

Jay-jay's POV
Our Morning class ended quickly. That's what happens when
your mind wanders. It's lunch time and I'm planning to go back to my hangout to
eat.
I was about to stand up when Ci-N came up to me with a wide smile.
"Why?" I asked her.
Suddenly her smile turned sad. "Did you forget?"
I looked at her in surprise. "Which one?"
"Oh.. she really forgot."
The kid was so funny! Haha
"Just kidding.. of course I remember."
It was so fun to trip. He probably thought I forgot to bury him.
That was my promise to him in the past.
His wide smile came back earlier. "Thank you.."
"Let's go to my hangout..." I told him and he followed.
Maybe because I gave him his lunch that I had prepared for
the snakes to take. But I don't think so.
The snakes still don't pay attention to me.
That's okay with me. EVEN IF THEY ARE AT FAULT! They're fat too!
They were the ones who tripped me up in the past and they're the ones who
don't want to pay attention. Shame on you!
Ci-N and I arrived at my hangout. I gave him the other
lunch I brought. Next time, I'll bring a Bento Box so it
's big and has a lot of filling.
"You call this steak, right?" Ci-N asked while looking at the dish.
"Yes, of course..." I answered him.
I was already eating. I didn't want to be asked questions while
chewing. He's fine with that! We were very angry for now. Hehe.
We both just sobbed. It seemed obvious that I didn't want anyone
to talk to while eating.
I finished with Ci-N first so I waited for him.
"Jay..." He started while chewing. "...Are you and Aries angry
?"
No... But he was angry with me.
"No... Why did you ask?"
He swallowed the contents of his mouth before speaking. "I don't
see you talking. But you went to school together and then what
happened in PE"
"We're just not close that's why."
Yeah.. That's all.
He just nodded and went back to what he was doing. After finishing his food
, he gave me back the container.
It was still early so we didn't leave yet. Wandering mode: On!
"What did your mom say when you came home, Red Nose?"
He asked while laughing.
Is this annoying?
Really Red Nose?!
"No... He didn't see it." I didn't feel like answering.
He was too busy with his new wife to understand me.
"Didn't you see? How----"
"We're not at home together. I just live with Aries."
I didn't want to talk about this, because Ci-N is a bit inquisitive right now.
It's okay because we're friends but I still don't
eel comfortable talking.
He was silent for a moment. I just hope he felt it. He turned to me
and smiled. Why does his smile seem different?
"Let's play a game..."
Really young!
"What game?"
"20 questions... The questioner takes turns and the
question must not be repeated. You can't answer 'secret' or 'I don't know' either."
What's the problem with this? Can't he really feel it? But maybe
he wants to do something else. Maybe he's just entertaining me.
"Okay... But I'll ask first." He smiled and nodded at me.
"..Why did Keifer do that to me?"
His smile disappeared and he didn't speak. He also tried to look away
. You know what! I need answers too.
"W-what... Y-because..."
"Let's not continue this if you don't want to."
"H-it's not that I don't want to answer. Maybe
Keifer will scold me."
I let out a deep breath. "Are you afraid of him?"
He looked away. "Yes.. I owe him a debt. Besides,
look at me compared to him."
I wasn't happy with what I was hearing. That animal was such a bully
! I was annoyed, not because of what he did to me but because
I felt like he could do anything.
"Let's go back..." I said and stood up from my seat.
Ci-N followed me. When I stepped on the last step, I stopped.
"You go first to the room. I'll follow." I said without
acing Ci-N.
"H-ha? Can you take your time?"
"I know.."
"S-okay." He answered me and completely left back to the room.
I was annoyed. It was like I didn't want to see Keifer. I also didn't want to see the
entire Section E.There's only one Keifer and if they can handle him,
they won't fight him.
What's wrong with him? What's wrong with Keifer? What's wrong with you?
I was so annoyed that I kicked the broken bench that was scattered on the road.
It hurt a little but my annoyance with that animal prevailed.
You have a day with me too Keifer!
"It's already broken, you're going to break it."
Speaking of the devil!
He was already holding a baseball ball. He was still throwing it in the
air while looking at me.
I crossed my arms and looked at him. "Please!"
"Sss. What's your problem?" He asked me boredly.
"None of your business."
He smirked and walked back to the room but stopped when he
passed me. "Re-election is later. It didn't work out
last time. Will you support me, huh?"
Kapal! Be tough! I won't support you! You're so annoying!
He went back to the room and the bell rang. I didn't even plan on
going back because I saw the teacher. Pfffttt...
As usual, no one paid any attention to me. Ci-N forced a smile.
It seemed like she was deep in thought.
Class was over and it was time to go home. I'm usually excited about going home but now
it feels boring. It's Keifer's fault!
When the teacher left, the whole class started to tidy up the desk and
table. They placed it on the side and it looked like a square.
Is this how they will be re-elected?
The two are inside the squire. Suddenly we are all outside.
It's like they are in a boxing ring and we are the audience.
"Just like before... Stay strong! The one who stays standing is the winner and
will become the president of Section E!" Kit explained to everyone.
What is it?
Who stays strong? What kind of election is this?
The election I know is a vote.
David and Keifer took off their polo shirts.
They even took off each other's shirts and T-shirts. Wow!
David is my muscle even though he is thin. It's not like
Keifer's. Keifer's body is too big for David.
It's like a luge! The fight is not fair!
They both formed like in boxing.
Son...
Seriously? Is this really their re-election? Boxing?
The heads were screaming.
"Go David!"
"Knock that Keifer down!"
"Keifer!"
"Keifer! You can do it!"
Keifer shouted with more supporters. Poor David.
Kit stood up on one of the tables. "The fight has begun!!" He shouted and
the heads on the table clashed together.
David was the first to punch but Keifer dodged. Keifer dodged
but David dodged as well.
They walked away for a moment. It looked like they were just warming up.
Hit David!
Oh... Why am I getting involved too?!
David rushed in again. Keifer dodged again but he followed with
another.
KEIFER DROPPED!!
"GO AHEAD!! HIT IT!!" I shouted.
I was surprised by what I did but the people next to me ignored me.
It would have been okay if I had cheered.
Keifer stood up and was clearly angry. David hadn't even formed his form
when he grabbed the punch. David fell.
"Cheater... HEY! YOU'RE A BREAKER!" I shouted while
hitting the table.
Keifer and the others looked at me. What? I was right!
David stood up and returned to the fight. They also
exchanged punches a few times. David fell again and was clearly tired.
This is not possible! My chicken will lose!
I approached his place and shouted. "DA VID! DON'T LET ME
BE LOSED BY THAT IMPACT!"
Keifer looked at me with a frown and David looked at me irritably.
"Tsk! You're making noise!" David complained to me.
"I DON'T CARE! JUST TIGHTEN
THAT MOKONG!" I shouted and David stood up again.
It was like we were in boxing. Donaire vs. Pacquiao. Of course, both
Filipinos are fighting!
I just hope this Keifer doesn't win.
You lose Keifer!!
