Chapter-178


Barakuda


Jay-jay's POV


I don't like crowded places. I don't like hot places. I don't like muddy places---huh?!
That's a line from a movie, right?
Because it's funny! I woke up feeling so cramped.
I was so sticky from my sweat. Even though I didn't want to, I opened my eyes and
that caused my headache.
Curse this hangover!
I really don't know how to take it. I still drink even though the price
of that is waking up in the morning feeling very sick. of the head.
Oh my! It felt like my head was splitting open in pain. I tried to reach my head
with my hand but for some reason I couldn't
move.
I tried to look at the hands. My spirit finally woke up when
I saw the reason.
I AM TIED!
Child of the afternoon sun! My hands were tied on both
sides of me. Besides that, there were also two hands waiting for me.
That's how fast my heart was beating. I didn't want to look to
either side. I could feel their breath on my neck.
Just an arm... You know! It's
so hot! My body must be wet with sweat. I couldn't
breathe properly in our position either.
So even though it was against my will. I slowly turned to the left.
He almost kissed me close to his face.
"K-keifer." I called to him.
His head didn't move and he looked very sleepy. I slowly
looked to my right and his situation and position were almost the same.
"Yuri." I called to him too.
He didn't move either. I was so sticky with sweat.
I forced myself to move and push them away. I heard them groan loudly
. They also moved away from me slightly.
"Wake up. You're welcome! My tent is so small you've managed to fit
yourself in here." I said to them annoyed.
Yuri was the first to open his eyes and get up. He yawned before
acing me.
"Good morning." He greeted me with a smile.
"Good morning too. Maybe you want me to untie it?"
I asked sarcastically.
He looked at my hands. I thought he was about to reach for the knot of the
rope but he just reached for Keifer to touch it. He
did that a few times before the other one finally woke up.
"What?!" The King asked Yuri annoyed.
"Can I untie this?" Yuri asked.
And did he really ask for permission?
The Pest King looked at me before smiling. "Don't. It's a waste of
time."
What time?!
"Shall we do it now?" Yuri asked.
What to do?!
"Alright."
Which one?!
"Can't we be heard outside?"
Which one can be heard?!
"Cover your mouth so you can't hear us."
My neck almost broke from looking back and forth at them.
I couldn't understand what they were talking about.
Yuri smiled and slightly brought her face closer to mine.
I was so amused.
"Jay... Don't get angry, huh?" She asked, making me so surprised.
"...we'reâ€"."
Shutanginames!
"What?! You're crazy!" I shouted as I tried to break free from my bondage.
Suddenly they laughed out loud. That's when I realized that
they were just trying to trick me. The gap between my eyebrows almost disappeared when
they greeted her.
Yuri untied me. I got up and immediately
punched them in the arm.
"Aw..." Keifer complained while rubbing his arm.
"You animals!" I said annoyed and left the tent.
That's all I felt. It was so hot inside the tent, add
three of us inside. That's only for two.
I was about to walk closer to the jug to get water but
I was stunned by their reactions.
Here are the weirdos!
They all moved away but were still looking at me. Someone hid behind
the tree and their tent. Ci-N hid behind David.
"What happened to you?" I asked them.
No one answered. Suddenly someone tapped me on the shoulder.
Yuri passed me with a smile.
"That's your last time. Don't drink anymore." He said before getting water.
Holy cow calabao!
What happened last night?! I got drunk! I know! But what happened
after that? Here we are again.
Another hand tapped me.
Keifer also passed me with a smile.
"Nice..." He said and also got water. "...Barakuda."
Damn!
*Flashback...*
"Alululululululululu!!"
They laughed loudly while watching me in front of the bonfire.
"Go Jay-jay!"
*EndofFlashback...*
I just covered my face in embarrassment. I'm telling you!
I'm so sorry!
I heard Keifer and Yuri laughing. I immediately looked at them
with a bad look. Even though they didn't say it, I knew I was the one
they were laughing at.
I looked at Ci who was still behind David.
He was just peeking.
"Ci-N..." I called to him and tried to come closer but he immediately backed away
while still holding David.
"W-don't come closer."
I looked at him annoyed. "Are you crazy?!"
"Hide me, David!" He shouted.
David just let him hide behind him.
My expression was full of surprise because of their attitude.
I looked at Eman but before I could say anything, he ran
away. Josh did the same even though he was looking at me very badly
.
"Halá! What's going on with you?" I asked but no one answered.
"Your trip was so strong last night." Yuri said as the
water caught up with me.
I immediately panicked. It was like I knew what I had done. Oh my
!
"Who is Barakuda?" Keifer asked.
"H-ha?"
"You said last night you were Barakuda."
My eyes widened. "W-what... That's the character I played
in our school play... Back then." I almost whispered my answer. "...Because
I was so embarrassed, I went up on stage drunk."
That was also the first time I had tasted alcohol. Yuri and Keifer laughed.
I looked at them in surprise.
"Congratulations! You portray your character very well." The
King said while smiling angrily.
Argh! What?!
"What did I really do?!"
I noticed Felix slowly approaching me.
He was clearly still hesitating. He took out his cellphone and pressed it. When
he finished, he handed it to me.
Video... Again?!
I'm lame on the video. The footage is choppy. It hurts my eyes to watch but
I have to persevere so I can remember what I did.
They were shouting loudly. The person taking the footage was also running around, which is why they
were so choppy.
"I need a virgin!" I shouted loudly....?
I can't see myself in the video so I can't tell if it's me who's shouting
. I just have a strong feeling that it's me.
"I'm Barakuda!" I shouted again.
This time I was sure it was me who was shouting.
"Shit! Jay is going crazy!" Calix's voice.
There was a slight pause. The camera angle kept changing. It was as
if they were looking for someone.
"Jay-jay is missing! Did you see him?" Felix whispered.
"Aaaaagghhhhh!!" Ci-N shouted, right on cue and pointed the
camera at him. "...Jay-jay is going to kill me!"
Can you see me in the video chasing Ci and holding
a...knife?
"Ci-N! Hide!"
"Hurry up Ci!"
"Ci-N! Play dead!" Suddenly, Ci-N and I disappeared. The camera angle
changed again . "Where?!" Felix asked worriedly. The camera pointed at the bonfire. After a while, I came out
and seemed to be looking for something. "I need a virgin! I need a virgin! In exchange for an eternal life!" I
shouted over and over. I was depressed by the way I looked in the video. The things I was saying were the
same lines I had in our school play back then. I looked stupid! "Eman! She's still a virgin!" Blaster suddenly
shouted in the video along with loud laughter. "Stupid Blaster!" "Eman! Run!" I disappeared from the video
again. That's when I noticed that Felix and I seemed to be hiding because he didn't leave his place. There was
a series of screams from somewhere. Felix pointed the camera at that area and suddenly Edrix, Eman, Rory,
Eren and Josh ran. "Here's Josh! He's still a virgin!" Eren said while trying to push Josh away. "Tado!" Josh
shouted at him and they ran again. I thought they were going to chase each other again but suddenly Keifer
and Yuri appeared with a rope. They immediately came to me and repeatedly twisted the rope around my
whole body. The guys clapped loudly and each one got closer to me. "Burn the witch!" Ci-N shouted but he got
a strong slap from David. That's where the video ended. I was so embarrassed to face them. That's why they
were so afraid of me. "We couldn't sleep. We were scared of you." Felix said as I handed him his cellphone.
"Sorry." I said. I also faced Ci-N who was trying to hide behind David. "Ci... Sorry." "Please Jay... Don't get so
drunk." David said. "No... I'm really sorry." Ci slowly came out from behind David. She was still bowing down to
ace me. "You can..." She started and we waited for her to say the next thing . "...brush your teeth first. The
smell of your breath is even more frightening -----Ouch!" I gave her a hard slap on the back of the head. Her
ace turned serious. I wondered what kind of request she was going to make. It was different! I was forced to
go back to my tent to get my things. I was going to take a shower even though it was early. That's how smart
Ci-N is! "Where are you going?" David asked. "I'm going to take a shower first!" I shouted as I continued
walking. I just had to run fast enough to reach the bathroom. I might run out of breakfast. You know what! The
Ulopongs are dead guts! Since it was early, I was the only one in the bathroom. I'm all alone! Nice! I also have
the right to sing any song I can think of. Oh yeah! I started taking a shower and while I was busy showering, I
kept singing. " ...Baby you don't have to rush you can live your toothbrush at my place... At my place. We don't
need to keep rush you can live a toothbrush at my place... At my place. Stock in the limbo----Aaaaggghhh!!"
Putangina! Someone suddenly opened the shower curtain. That was the door of the cubicle. I quickly picked
up my towel and covered what was supposed to be covered while leaning against the wall. "Are you deaf or
something? Can't you hear your own voice?" Freya asked irritably. Yes! Her voice was like a frog! "I-I-I wonder if
there's someone else-----aaaagghhh!" I screamed again when I saw her in her entirety. Gaga didn't even have
any clothes on her body! Her hair was wet and there was still a little shampoo on it. I just looked at the ceiling.
Yes, I'm a girl too but.... She was so annoyed! "What?! Can't look at my gorgeous body?" The teasing was
obvious in her voice. I didn't answer. I tried to close the curtain with my foot but Freya's hand was blocking it.
"...Or maybe your hiding something?" She added and suddenly pulled my towel. My grip on it was tight. I
almost slipped from fighting her with the struggle. It was mud! She could see what she shouldn't see on me.
"FREYA!" I shouted and tried to struggle. "...You're a bitch!" This woman had such a strong grip. I thought she
wouldn't stop, that's why I breathed a sigh of relief when she let go. "You're no fun." She said, annoyed. I looked
at her with a look of annoyance. But it gradually disappeared when I saw her eyes getting swollen. It was like
she was being puked on or, more accurately, she looked drunk and explosive. I guess that's why she was
tripping me. "W-what's your problem?" I asked a few questions while staring at her----at her face! Don't look
down! "This is boring." She said and looked at me from head to toe. "...it's like I can see something in you. Why
don't you cover up!" "W-what?! Go away!" I felt my face heat up . This woman is so stupid! Doesn't she have
anything to do in the world? And how can she flaunt her body like that. There's no shame in it. But unfairness,
her body is beautiful! She just smiled and walked away. I didn't take my eyes off her. I also intentionally looked
at her ear when something suddenly sparkled . I'm not sure but it looked like an earring. It sparkled for a
moment and then disappeared . It was familiar to me! But before I could think again where I saw it, I closed
the curtain again and quickly finished my shower. Maybe she would come back and try to trip me again. After
taking a shower and brushing my teeth, I immediately returned to our site feeling fresh. It's embarrassing to
say that my breath is terrible. When I arrived, they were already eating breakfast. Pffftt... They didn't even wait
or me. "Eat, Jay!" Calix told me. "Food is what will truly give you life----it's not eternal." Rory said laughing.
Busit! Was it a reminder? I immediately put down my things in the tent. I approached Eman to ask for food.
She handed me the plate but she was still frowning, looking at me. "Hey... Sorry." I said while trying to smile in
ront of her. "...Sorry." "Tsk! Last night was really your last. You can't get drunk anymore." She said annoyed. "S-
okay. Let's just be peaceful, okay?" I said while making a two-finger gesture . She smiled while shaking her
head. "Yes, that's right." I started to get something to eat. I sat next to Ci who was once again the star of the
story. "Barracuda! Barracuda!" They called out to me while laughing. Bwisit! I glared at them. "I'll throw a plate
at you!" "Alulululululu!" Drew shouted and their laughter got louder. "You idiots!" "That's enough!" Edrix told
them. "...Maybe he'll cook us in that fire." "Hahahahahaha... Witch!" Shit! I thought he told me to stop, but it
was so he could get a kick out of it. No matter how long these Ulopongs have been around. They continued to
tease me while eating. After that, they left one by one to go to the bathroom. They were going to take a
shower because we were going to attend the program again. Lunch after that and then we were going to hang
out again because we weren't part of their keneme activity. This retreat was really meaningful. I felt it! Rory
and Edrix were the first to return so I went with them. The others followed . Like yesterday, our place was at
the back again . I looked at Section A. Their laughter was so loud. As usual, Ella and Aries were alone again.
Mica was chatting but Freya's group was the one making trouble. "Barracuda! Barracuda!" Someone shouted
while running. Who else?! One time. Just slap this kid. That's all I wish for! Just one slap , I'll be happy. "Go
ahead! I'm right there." He said while pushing me. Look at this person. He's really pushing. I almost fell over. I
looked at him evilly but he just smiled at me. The kid was shaking! The others had also arrived. The organizer
spoke on the mic so it went quiet. They started praying again. "Watch out for that one. He might fall asleep
again." Blaster let out a yell and they laughed. "Tse! I can't fall asleep." I was staring at them. We looked in
ront of the organizer when he coughed slightly to get our attention. "Let's talk about something that everyone
can relate to." The one holding the mic said. "...very common and known to this world." I know that! I know
that! MONEY! "...Love." Oh, that's corny. Ci-N suddenly stood up. Both hands were raised while shouting... "NO
FOREVER!" People immediately looked at him. Along with loud laughter and applause. Shutanginames!
"Wooooh!" "Hahaha..." Even the organizer just laughed at him. I looked at him evilly but he still looked really
proud of what he did. "...BUT WE AND RAKKI HAVE IT! I LOVE YOU RAKKI SAN DIEGO!" I just slapped my
orehead. It's really different. I'm sure this will be a long day again. No matter when!
