Chapter-209

Section E

Jay-jay's POV

Percy was quiet. He had been motionless since he came with my lunch. We
were on the second floor again. I finished eating and was currently staring at his back. He was standing with
his elbows resting on the iron. I sighed and stood up to stand next to him. I also rested my elbows on the iron
and looked at the garbage below. It would have been nice to hang out here on the second floor but the
garbage was so bad that it ruined the view. "Percy..." I called him. "Mmm?" He replied. "You're so quiet. What's
wrong?"! I was teasing him but he didn't say anything. He just looked at me and shook his head. It was
strange! It felt weird. It was like he was in a serious illness. "Hey… Percy." I called him again and pushed him
away slightly. He smiled again. "It's nothing... Just tell me." Even though I was confused by his acting, I did
what he wanted. I told him about what happened this morning. Between Ci-N and me. I ran away from him
earlier after he turned around and got some food again. I hung out in the CR and when I felt like Sir had
arrived, I just went back there as if nothing had happened. "Oh harsh..." He commented. "I couldn't control my
anger." I said almost whispering. We both closed our eyes as the cold air touched us. It was really cool up
here. Thanks to the trees around. "I have something to ask you." He said and I waited for him to say. "...How
did you last in that Section?" Lasted? "T-that's true..." Because they made me feel like I belonged with them.
Because they also valued me and protected me. Because they also took me on my trip through life. "...I don't
know." He sighed heavily. I let him go because he seemed to be deep in thought. We were silent for the next
ew minutes. I still couldn't get Ci-N's look out of my mind as she wiped away her tears. Am I that stubborn?
Have I changed? Am I a bad person? Am I going back to the way I used to be? "Percy..." I whispered as if he
hadn't heard me either. "...how can I forgive?" He didn't speak. That's why I had a strong feeling that he hadn't
heard what I said. I admit, a part of me was saying that my patience was pointless. What was the point of this
patience? "It's hard." My eyes widened at what I heard. It was almost a whisper, so I wasn't sure what I heard.
"It's hard." He kept repeating. "...Especially when what they did to you was so painful." Is it just me or does he
seem to be pulling away from what he said? He still looks serious so it seems like there's something to what
he's saying. "You have a problem, right?" I asked him. "...it's obvious." He bowed slightly and grinned. When he
did that, I felt a little better. "That's a lie..." He said, turning to lean his back against the iron that his elbow was
leaning on earlier. "...I told you before, right? I feel bad for Mama?" I nodded and he continued speaking. "He
left us when I was little---just like your Papa did to you. Then when we met again when I was in the hospital.
What's even more painful is that he let them think I was dead..." He sighed and looked up. "...he took me away
rom here and gave me a new life, but he didn't even consult me about all of that." He made his decision
without telling her. I knew that feeling. As if you don't have a mind of your own. They do that to me and it's
honestly so hard. "W-how did you forgive him?" "On purpose... One day I woke up and my anger towards him
was slowly disappearing." He answered me with a smile. On purpose? "On purpose?" "He showed me that he
was recovering. There wasn't a day that he didn't take care of me even though I often scolded him." I bowed
my head. They do the same thing to me now but when the word forgiveness enters my mind, everything they
did comes back to me. Bets, singles and beliefs. "...Then now he's starting again." He said. I looked at him in
surprise. Is that why he likes that? Is that what he's thinking? "W-why?" "He already knows that I've shown
everyone. He got angry, he said I shouldn't come back." He shook his head while biting his lower lip.
"...annoyed!" I just stared at him. He was clearly annoyed by what his mother said. But there was something
on my mind that I really wanted to ask him. "W-when will Papa come back here?" My voice was filled with a
hint of conversation. The irritation on Percy's face disappeared and he gradually became serious. He slowly
turned to me as he swallowed. I was afraid of what you would answer me. He took a deep breath. "Not
anymore..." He coughed slightly. "... He won't come back here." I straightened up while not taking my eyes off
him. Not coming back? What is this? Just wait! He told me several times that we would meet again and now
he won't come back. "...because you're the one going to see him." He continued, frowning at me. "...you're
going to see him in New York." I took a deep breath. I couldn't understand. I was confused even though Percy
said it so clearly. "W-what..." "I'm just waiting for your birthday... You're of legal age and the Angelos no longer
have control over you so you can come with me." I swallowed and slowly shook my head at what he said. I still
couldn't break my gaze from him even though I blinked a few times. "I don't think... That's not going to
happen." His eyebrows furrowed slightly. "...I'm getting married on my birthday." That's why I can't go to Papa.
"...To Yuri." He said. I wasn't sure at first if he knew about the engagement but of course the entire Section E
already knew so it wasn't impossible for him not to know. His fist clenched when I didn't answer. It was as if
he was starting to get annoyed again. I knew he had a problem with Yuri but he wasn't saying what it was.
Freya was the first thing that came to my mind but it seemed like there were others. "That Palito is fine too. It's
nice to light a fire in his head." He said while looking in the other direction. "...Because he's a coward, he's
acting secretly. He even spat on you just to get you to agree to that wedding." He was really weird when it
came to Yuri. All of his annoyance and resentment seems to come out of his mouth when he talks about the
other person. "What are you doing with Yuri?" "He's a coward!" He shouted and walked around. "...he's a
coward." My eyebrows furrowed. It wasn't that I was on Yuri's side but it was just that what happened to me
was unfair. He did not clarify the reason for his anger. "He's not a coward." I said and he suddenly looked at
me
with a bad look. "Do you really know Yuri?" He asked irritably. I wanted to say 'YES' but I couldn't. I
remembered everything Ci-N had said to me and the things he had done to me. It would be more correct to
say... "H-no." "So don't say he's not a coward." "But----." I couldn't finish what I was going to say when he
suddenly kicked a broken chair that was lying around near us. "I fvcking hate him." I heard him whisper. I let
him spin around and let out his annoyance. He took a few deep breaths. They were really a troop, it was hard
to let go of his anger. After a while, he came back to my side. He still looked serious and it seemed like his
annoyance hadn't gone away. "Can I ask you something?" He asked. I was about to interrupt him with 'your
already asking' but I stopped myself because he looked like he was going to punch me if I didn't come up with
an answer. "W-what's that?" "Did Felix say anything about Gang war?" Gang war? A war between gangs who
were helpless so they decided to fight. Felix and I didn't talk so I didn't hear anything from him about that.
"Wa....la..." I said while shaking my head slowly. "There's another one that's making me angry! I heard him last
night talking to
someone over the phone. I try to talk to him but he refuses to tell me
anything. We argue about it and I almost punch him." He explained
while clenching his fist.
That's it! That's why there's a bang...
"W-what's the person he's talking about?"
"I can't understand. They're just saying they're going to get involved in
that Gang War."
I don't remember the whole of Section E being a Gang. That's why I don't
understand why they're going to get involved in that mess.
They're just a Section or Group that likes to argue but they're not
a Gang.
"W-when's that Gang War?"
He looked at me seriously. "Later."
Right away?!
"...I'll try to stop Felix. I'm annoyed! I just got lost,
my brother has become a fool."! He added.
I watched him for a while until my cellphone rang so
I looked at it. A text message arrived.
From: GagangBaliw
Message: my life...
Here it is again. The unknown number that texted me. I didn't
reply because it was a waste of time. I also named it so
I could recognize its number immediately.
I looked at the time on my cellphone. Only 15 minutes left.
I faced Percy who was currently frowning.
"I need to go back. It's time for a t-time." I said goodbye and he nodded
.
We first cleaned up our food and threw it in front of the
room. We were still going, but the front looked like a garbage dump.
I turned back to the room but I stopped when I saw Percy
ollowing me.
"What are you doing? That's where you're going." I said while pointing to the other side.
"I'll go to your room first. "I'm still too lazy to go home." He said and
walked towards our room.
I followed him and just let him do what he wanted. When he entered the
room,everyone's eyes were on him. Their looks were shocked and full of wonder
except for the king.
"Where are you sitting?" He asked while looking around the room.
"Here." I answered while pointing at my table which was just next to the door.
He looked at it and also looked at Ci-N who was next to me. The only
seat he could sit near me was the bench behind me.
"Kid..." Percy called to Ci-N. "...move over. I'll be there first."
Ci-N just stared at him. He looked at me then
looked back at Percy.
"No." He answered.
"Okay... Just for now. "You'll be there again tomorrow." Percy asked
.
"No."
"Just sit down... I won't take your place."
"No."
"Just now."
"No."
That's it! The two little brains were fighting.
Percy was obviously starting to get annoyed with what Ci-N was doing to him.
He could have sat behind me, so why did he choose
Ci's place? Good luck if he can get rid of it.
"What's in your place that you don't want to leave?"
Percy asked irritably.
"I want Jay-jay and I to be next to each other."
"I want him to be next to me too."
"Does he want me to be next to him?" Ci asked angrily.
Percy turned to me and I saw his eyebrows meet.
His anger from earlier hadn't gone away, it looked like it was going to get worse.
"I'm going to punish this kid." He whispered to me annoyed but
Ci seemed to hear it because of the way his eyebrows met.
"You're right there." I said, pointing to the place behind me.
"I don't want it. I want it here." He answered me.
I just sighed and shook my head.
His childishness was back on.
He faced Ci again, who was already looking at him with a bad look.
They were about to fight in front of me.
"I'm right there. Tomorrow you'll be there again." Percy said.
"I don't want it."
Percy looked annoyed because of his sniffing.
"I'll squeeze you! You're still here!" He shouted at Ci.
"I'll kick you! You're still here!" The other one replied while imitating
Percy's tone of voice.
"You're brave, huh?"
"You're ugly, huh?"
Percy turned to me while pointing at Ci-N.
"The kid is fighting me!" He said as if he was accusing his parents.
I sighed and slightly approached Ci.
"Move over. "You'll be there again tomorrow.
" He snorted slightly and blinked. "But I want you by my side."
I faced Percy boredly. "I really don't want to. There's nothing I can do."
"This kid's skin is already ugly! He's so skinny." Percy whispered.
Ci immediately looked at him with a look of disgust. "This kid's skin is already ugly! He
's a bag."
I heard laughter from the Ulopong. It was as if they were listening to the
fight between the two. I looked at Percy and tears were still streaming down
his face as he pointed at himself.
"They say I'm ugly and a bag! I'm really going to punish this kid!"
He said annoyed.
I just grimaced. It seemed like these two couldn't be together
. Besides the fact that they both have the same childish mentality, they would definitely cry and cry
when they got into a fight.
"I don't know." I said bored and sat down in my seat.
Percy didn't do anything but sit in the seat behind me.
There was a time when he and Ci were still teasing each other. I knew that
my saliva on them. I received another text
message
rom GagongBaliw
. Because the trip was strong, hey didn't want to introduce himself. I just knew who it was, I'll make his face
bleed from the punch. From: GagangBaliw Message: I'm not Gunggong but maybe an Ulupong. I immediately
looked at the Dimunyung Ulupong. None of them were holding a cellphone or could be suspicious of playing
tricks on me again. I was annoyed! Who is this?! To: GagangBaliw Message: Who are you? Look at me, you're
not kidding. I waited for his answer but he didn't respond. He didn't reply anymore. It seemed like he followed
what I said. Our teacher had arrived so I hid my cellphone. I faced the board and seemed interested in what
we were being taught but the truth was----nothing entered my mind. There was a time when I caught the eyes
of those next to me. They really didn't want to be weaned. They exchanged papers once more. "Stunt." "Bag."
They whispered to each other in a snort. I couldn't keep quiet about these two. I guess I shouldn't have sent
Percy here or I should have sent Ci- N away. It's a mess! While waiting for the next class, I took out my
cellphone and was about to play. I stopped when I saw a text message . From: GagangBaliw Message: I'm ur
savior. I saved you from your kidnapper and claimed my price on the same day. I frowned. What is this
Gungong saying? The lightning is crazy. He's probably crazy! What he's saying is out of place. To:
GagangBaliw Message: Ulowl men! He answered me quickly. From: GagangBaliw Message: I miss ur lips. Can
I claim it again? I suddenly became nervous because of what this Crazy One was saying. Could it be Kei----
NOT! He's not the King of the Snakes. He won't waste time just to do this. To: GagangBaliw Message: The
ck! Who the hell is he?! From: GagongBaliw Message: I told u. I'm ur savior. I saved you while you were
blindfolded. Blindfolded? I only remember one time that I was blindfolded. When I was kidnapped where the
Dimunyung King was stabbed. To: GagangBaliw Message: Is that humlik skin? My hand is shaking while
typing those. It wasn't Keifer who kissed me. If so, who is this idiot? To: GagangBaliw Message: u got it right.
😉 Damn! Who is this idiot? I'm nervous even though I shouldn't be. My hand is still shaking. I didn't reply to
him and just hid my cellphone in my bag. Whoever it is, don't let him catch me alive.
