Chapter 16 - Absent

ABSENT

Jay-jay's POV

It's good to be locked in a room. The one who brings you food. The peg is only a prisoner but there is freedom to get out. I just really don't want to. Even on weekends I don't go out. I haven't been in for a few days.

Can I stop studying?

Someone knocked on the door and it slowly opened. Aunt Gema entered with a tray of food.

"Jay.. eat and take medicine."

I got up and sat down. "Auntie.. can I stop studying?"

"Why? Is it because of those who bully you?" There was concern in her voice.

Rather than getting into a fight... I'll just avoid it.

"I just don't want to get into a fight. Didn't I promise to change?"

She held my hand and looked me in the eyes.

"There are many ways to fight a bully. The solution is not just to crack skulls."

Cracked skull?

Where did aunt get that?

"But if it's really necessary... We'll accept it." She added.

She gave me permission to fight? It's like I suddenly came alive!

Hahahahaha Evil laugh

"Are you sure? Is it really okay?"

"Yes.. but not always." She held my cheek and rubbed it with her thumb. "Alright.. I'll leave first, so if you need anything, just call the maids. Okay?"

"Alright..."

Aunt Gema left the room. So I can only fight when I'm being bullied and it should only be once? That can be done, at least I can deny what they are doing to me. I ate the food that Aunt brought. I don't want to take medicine because I feel it is not effective. My nose still hurts. When I keep facing the mirror I see Rudolf, Santa's reindeer. I just put a strip on my nose. I keep getting a nose job. I was going to get a new one to put on my nose because it ran out.

Can I go out to buy?

After all, it's not fun being locked in a room. It's good but not fun. I changed my clothes and brushed my teeth. I will buy another nose strip. After getting ready, I took my wallet and went out. I said goodbye to maid. . Maybe I'll buy it at the mall. There is a medical store in the mall. I will also go for a walk. I called a taxi. Because I still don't know how to commute in buses or jeeps to the mall. The mall is also not far away. The trip is long because of the traffic. I got out of the taxi and handed over the payment.

It seems embarrassing. There are a lot of people, the rest are still students. Can I go home? That's why I'm here. It's up to you. When I entered the mall, I was immediately looked at because of the strip on my nose.

Did you just see this?

Since your troop is from mula, I don't know where to go. Good thing there's always a gaurd and utility around.

"Brother.. Where is your medical store?" I asked the gaurd.

"Watsons? Just straight."

"Got it. . . Thank you."

I have walked. I just went straight. Watsons seems familiar to me? Who really has that last name? Ts It's on the tip of my tongue. Take it out so you can see. I don't want! I look like a fool.

I was in front of Watsons when I remembered who had this last name. That infamous Keifer.

Mark Keifer Watson.

Do they not own it? I don't want to buy from here. But maybe not, because Keifer Watsons this names his last name. It's up to you. I just went inside to buy. I just asked the saleslady to help me quickly. After buying, I went out immediately. I was looking at what I bought when someone bumped into me.

Shit! My nose!

I immediately touched it and felt it.

"Whoooohaaaaaa! Whoooohaaaaaa!"

I heard someone laugh.

"Her nose is red! Hahahaha!"

I looked at the talipandas who were laughing. Maybe I'm really unlucky or the Watsons just have a curse. They are my classmates. I also looked at who I bumped into. --!

The Watsons really have a curse!

"You look stupid!"

Animal! Stupid...! Please!

I didn't say a word and just walked away.

"Wait! Jay! You're with us!" Shouted one of them.

What are these four doing here? Didn't they come in too?

Probably because they are here! Common sense Jay! Use it once so it's not a waste.

"I don't want to!" I answered briefly and walked away.

I was only a few steps away when someone grabbed my arm.

Ouch!

"What?!" I was angry with the animal that stopped me.

Keifer? Is this a problem?

"Tss. Come with us."

"No! I Don't!"

"Childish!"

My eyes narrowed at him. What does he not understand in the word

Don't want!?

"I don't want to! You shit!" I tried to struggle against his grip but he only tightened it.

"You're the naughty one!" He suddenly walked and almost dragged me.

"Son of.... I'm going to sink! Let go!"

"Tss."

I will cut its tongue so that it can stop talking.

It's abnormal! Pissed off!

People were looking at us because of our scene. It's just a stupid face. This is so Keifer. We stopped in front of an ice cream parlor. His three companions entered and we followed. We went up to the second floor, and there was a VIP.

"Sit!" He ordered me while pointing to the bank.

It's time to sit! Just a dog? I didn't follow. I just crossed my arms and gave him a bad look.

"What do you need? I'm going home!"

"Sit down!"

"Why?!"

"DAMN IT! IS IT HARD TO SIT?!" He said angrily.

People on the ground floor of the Ice Cream Parlor looked at us.

It's annoying!

I don't care if he gets angry but I don't want a scene. I just sat down and looked away from him.

"Kit.. Order for me. Your specialty." Keifer ordered one of our classmates.

Kit followed. Is that his name? Kit! okay...

Just wait! you?

Does that mean it's Kit?

Wow! Get rich.

Keifer suddenly grabbed my chin and forced my face to face him. I would have let it go, but the way he looked at me was killing me.

"Don't move." He said and pinched my nose.

Go ahead and look at what you've done!

He took the one strip that I bought at Watsons medical store and opened it. He also removed the strip from my nose.

"Aaaar..."

"Does it hurt?" He asked.

Just stupid?

"Is that a question?!" I want to kill him now.

He suddenly pressed my nose. I almost fell off the chair because of the pain.

Harrroooo! The pain! Shit!

Just me! I don't want a scene!

"Slowly it's hurting me.." I said while trying to slow down and tighten my voice.

I saw the two remaining Keifer's companions laughing.

"I'll ask properly here." Keifer said.

"I see... You'll ask more. Just a fool?"

My eyes are full of tears because of the pain. I slowly touched my nose. It's hard! I might have become Valdemort. He grabbed my chin again and forced it to face him. He has already got a strip that I bought and is about to stick it on my nose.

"Fix it... You'll be bad for me." I threatened him.

"Tss. Hold still." He said and slowly stuck the strip to my nose.

He stuck the strip and I don't know, I suddenly stared at him and he did the same to me. That's all I struggled with.

Why are you struggling?

The Kit has arrived with the special order requested by Keifer snale. He lowered it in front of Keifer. Terrible! Squirting on ice cream and stick-o sticks and pure chocolate syrup and my marshmallow with sprinkles. I thought he was the one to eat, but suddenly he pushed the big Mason Jar containing the ice cream towards me.

"This is for you..." He said.

"What is that? A bribe!"

"If that's what you would like to call it, then fine. A bribe!"

I sincerely looked into his eyes. "Do you think you can pass me there?"

"Yeah.. This is every girl weaknesses."

"No. Not me. I don't like ice cream."

Really?! Are you sure Jay?

I will not accept the bribe. Sorry Ice cream!

"Then.. what do you want?"

Hey... Your troop is persistent!

He looks guilty for what he did to me.

"A simple sorry from here." I pointed to his heart. "..Then please explain why you did that."

He chuckled. "Apologizing is not my thing, so as explaining."

Hey rhyme. Maybe that's his motto.

"Then we were both wasting our time. I'm going home." I said and took what I bought. I quickly walked away from them.

Is he dumb? It feels like it's that easy. He's a maniac!

But the ice cream is also a waste. I'll just buy from the convenience store. But before that, I need to get home. Where can I ride or wait for a taxi here?

It's great! Walk home!
