Win or Lose
Yuri's POV
What I know about women is that they don't like or are afraid of men's trouble. But this woman seems to be enjoying what she sees. There was more banging on the table. "LEAVE IT!" He shouted. Leave it? What kind of word is that? His mouth was so loud. It was deafening! It hurt my ears! "DON'T LOSE IT! WHAT?!" What the... He even beat a boxer's trainer. "HEY! DON'T----AHHH! STAND UP!" Fvck! I had just observed him and the ï¬ght was out of my mind. David had collapsed and couldn't stand up. The corner of his eye was bleeding. Keifer was still standing but was having a hard time breathing. The corner of his lips was also turning black. "DAVID!! STAND UP----" "SHUT UP!!" I shouted. He looked at me angrily. His mouth was making so much noise. He was screaming at the noise the others were making. I nodded to Kit. Signaling the end of the ï¬ght. He stood up again on one of the tables. "The counting begins! 10, 9, 8, 7.." The whole class followed the counting. "..6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1! David is down! Keifer wins!" It's official. Keifer now has the entire Section E. He can do whatever he wants. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Jay-jay's POV BWISIT! I'm annoyed! Why did that Keifer win? Something was wrong! "I'm sure that Keifer cheated." I said while cleaning David's wound. No one helped him at all. His supporters were crazy. They switched to Keifer when he won. After the match, they all ran away. It was a celebration! David had nothing left so I offered to help him. "You don't have to do this..." He said while trying to push his hand away. It was obvious that he had no strength left so he couldn't do anything either. "You should be the winner..." I said. "Argh!" He complained. I pressed the corner of his eye. "Sorry..." I said and continued what I was doing. I took the alcohol from my bag and put it on the bruise I was holding. "W-wait... W-that hurts." "That's not it..." I touched the bruise on his face and it felt like he was electrocuted by the shock of the chair he was sitting on. "Aw... Fvck!" He shouted. "This is art! When you got punched, you weren't hurt?!" "That's different... Ouch!" "That's just one!" I tried to bring the bruise closer to his face. Even though he had no strength, he still tried to push my hand away and cover his face. "It's just skin..." "Let it go... It'll heal even without alcohol." Pfffttt... You're just afraid of alcohol. "You take care of it..." I said and put the bruise down. He closed his eyes for a moment and seemed to feel around. I know when a man loses a ï¬ght, they get their egos hurt. Maybe he was hurt by what happened. He did what he could. Keifer was just being too strong for him or maybe he cheated. "Can I do you a favor?" He suddenly said. "What's that?" "Can you help me get dressed." He said and slowly stood up. I took his shirt and put it on him. Even though I did it slowly, he was still hurting because of the injuries he had sustained. I followed his Polo. After that, he forced himself to walk out of the room. I followed him to support him but he just pushed me away. He had a point. What little dignity he had left would be lost if I helped him. So I just let him go and I just followed. It was a bit dark and there were almost no students at school. That was ï¬ne so no one would see him too much. I let him take a taxi before I went home. Since it was already dark and it was obvious that Aries was gone, I would just wait . I got home safely, Kuya wasn't there, so Aries had the nerve to leave me. I was so tired, I fell asleep right away without having dinner. The next day.... David didn't come in. Maybe he was still resting. But Keifer is a real life animal. He was still smiling. I'll cut your life off, eh! We're vacant for two hours. The teachers were in a meeting. So here's my drama, acting stupid in the absence. Suddenly Keifer sat down on the bench in front of me. He was facing me and smiling. "Do you need it?" I asked him bluntly. "Why didn't you come to our celebration yesterday?" He asked. Was this on purpose? Isn't it obvious that my chicken lost and I didn't plan on being a jerk. "I just don't want to..." He nodded. "Too bad.. you didn't see how we were going to party. Ci-N and we drank a lot----" "You made Ci-N drink?!" I asked in disbelief. "Yeah.. why?" "Why? Why are you?! Maybe he's only 14 and you're making him drink!" Oh! "Tss. So? I was 10 when I had my ï¬rst drink." I glared at him. "That's you! It's not him! Don't make him happy!" I looked at Ci-N from where he was sitting. He was just dazed rom earlier and looked like he still had a hangover. "There's no difference between Ci-N and me so it's okay-- Where are you going?" I quickly walked away from that pest Keifer. He was really annoying ! Ci-N was too young to drink. I was 16 when I tasted alcohol and then I was forced to, I needed courage at that time. I headed straight to the nearest CR. I needed to wash myself to cool down. Maybe my blood would suddenly boil because of that guy. There was no one inside the CR, so I was alone and I could act out. Joke! Isn't there a ghost here? I took revenge ï¬rst like I wanted to do. I also washed my face with water a few times. It was cold, it felt good. Can I take a shower here? I wiped my face with a tissue and went into the cubicle. I was about to release the liquid before I got an infection. I was peeing quietly when a group of women suddenly entered the CR. They were noisy and laughing. "Is it okay with me?" A woman asked me who I felt was being stabbed by art because of her voice. "Yes.. but it would be better if you didn't wear it. Hahaha" replied another woman who looked even more arty than the ï¬rst. "Mica! Why are you so quiet?" Another woman asked. Mica? "Nothing----" "Because Calix approached her." "What?!" I just continued listening to them. I didn't want to go out and I felt different. Probably because I couldn't be tripped up here. "Girls! Have you seen Jay-jay? The transferee" One of them suddenly asked. It turned out that it was a good thing that I didn't leave the cubicle. I'll hear gossip about me. "Yeah... She's not as pretty as Kiko described." Me? Not pretty? Excuse me!! "Watch your word... She's still Papa Aries' cousin." Yeah.. Wash your word! "Don't call him Papa... Remember, she's with Ella." Ella? Why does it sound familiar---- "Ella's flirty! She's flirting with everyone famous in our school! Even Keifer from Section E." Holy cow carabao! Can't Aries be the one.... "I heard she flirted with Yuri too." This is it! This news I'm hearing is so cruel. "Jay-jay doesn't stay away from her either. I heard she bribes Section E with food and is always hanging out with Ci-N. Flirty!" What the... Why did I become flirty?! Please explain, idiot! "She's not pretty anymore, still flirty!" Okay! I'm done! I've ï¬nished ï¬xing myself and pressed the flash. I could feel their silence and anticipation for the person to come out of the cubicle. I went out as if I hadn't heard anything. I washed my hands and looked at my reflection in the mirror but ended up looking at them. There were four of them. Their faces looked like they were from a coloring book. They were covered in makeup, thick makeup, and their lips were pouting except for one. It looked like something was wrong. The one who said kwak kwak! They stared at my reflection. They were obviously waiting for me to say or do something. While they were busy staring at my beauty, I was collecting water in my hand. "Who's not pretty again?" I asked them. No one answered so I immediately threw the water I had collected in my hand at them. "Aarrrggghhh!!!...." They shouted loudly and were confused about what to do ï¬rst. I took the opportunity and quickly ran out of the CR. "Hey! Get back here!" I heard one of them shout. What kind of fool am I?! Why would I come back?! I was about to turn around to quickly get back to our building but I was stopped. There was Aries and his classmates. Hanging out and laughing. "Jay.." Kiko called me. I'm sorry. I can't greet you! "Hey! You're so annoying!" One of the girls shouted. I went back to running. I was going to use a different route to get away from them. I passed by a building of a different Year Level but they were still following me until then. "Stop!" They shouted. I reached our building and quickly ran to our room. The others were a little surprised when I entered. I immediately pecked on the chair. I hoped they wouldn't see me? That's why it seemed so pointless. "Where is he?!" One of them asked angrily. "Who?" My cobra classmate replied. Don't point it at me! You idiot! "That Jay-jay! Get him out!" "Why not?" "He's our fault." "There! He's pecked." Look at that! My classmate is so kind! I'll just meet you, you're mine. I adjusted my seat and looked at the door where the girls who chased me were. My classmate was also there, pointing at me. Kit! The girls were looking at me badly. I smelled like trouble too. You're mine Jay!
