Chapter-221

The real King

Jay-jay's POV

"Here's the first aid kit." Eman
said as she handed a red pouch to Ella. "S-thank you." Ella said as she accepted the pouch. She opened it and
took out the cotton and alcohol. She started to dab Aries' face. I looked at them blankly. I wanted to call Aunt
or Kuya but I was afraid of what they would say. I knew it was my fault . "Jay..." Ci-N called to me while sitting
next to me. "...why are they here?" I looked at her. "They said they wouldn't accept them at the clinic so I
brought them here." "Keifer might get angry." She whispered to me. "That Kumag isn't here." I hugged my knee
and patted it. I didn't know what to do. I was ashamed of Kuya because of what happened. They were
gradually losing everything because of me. "Jay-jay..." Mica called to me so I looked at her. She sat next to me
and offered me the bottled water she was holding. I shook my head and patted my knee again. Aries was still
unconscious. No Horoscope for today! "I think we need to take this to the hospital." Kit said while looking at
Aries and Ella. I looked at Ella who was also looking at me. It was as if he was waiting for my approval. I
wanted to nod because that's what Aries needed but a part of me was afraid. Kuya would get angry with me.
"W-what... I-I think----." I couldn't finish what I was going to say because Aries' hand was slowly raising. I
almost crawled closer to him. He was whispering something that we couldn't understand. Ella held his hand
and we almost bent down together to hear him properly. "S-Jay-jay... W-don't..." She said and took a deep
breath. "...p- come closer... Mm-mykel." Ella and I looked at each other. She didn't want me to come closer to
Mykel. I didn't know the reason but I had no intention of following her. What Ci-N did to her earlier wasn't
enough . I had to get even with her. Suddenly her breathing deepened. Ella panicked and didn't know what to
do. I was also nervous about the rise and fall of her chest. Shit! Aries is sick....in the brain----in the lungs! "Let's
take him to the hospital!" Ella said crying. "In my car! Now!" Yuri shouted and Felix and Eren immediately
picked up Aries. We immediately followed them. Luckily, it was already school so there weren't many students
on the road. When they arrived at the parking lot, they immediately put Aries in the backseat of the car with
Ella. I was in the passenger seat next to Yuri, who was the driver. He immediately started the car's engine. Ella
kept crying while trying to talk to Aries. I felt like I was about to cry too because of my brother's appearance.
Every breath was deep,all blood, wounds and bruises. Yes, we were angry but I can't deny that I was still
worried. "Aries! We're almost at the hospital!" Ella said crying. "Hold on Dude! We're almost there!" Yuri said
and I looked at him. That's when I noticed that he seemed worried too. It was the first time I saw him worried
about Aries. We arrived at the hospital. Yuri carried Aries to the emergency room. The Doctors and Nurses
came to take care of him. "You stay there... We'll take care of the patient." One of the nurses said and closed
the curtain in front of us. We were forced to step aside and take our places in their waiting area. Yuri left for a
moment to move the car to the hospital parking area. While we were waiting, I looked at the entrance and saw
Percy. I stood up and slightly raised my hand so he could see me. No
I was disappointed because he immediately came to us full of concern.
"How is Aries?" He opened his mouth. "
He's inside, they're taking care of him." I said almost in a whisper.
He looked at Ella for a moment before facing me again. "
Did you call Angelo?" I shook my head quickly .
I was afraid of what he would say . He might blame me for what happened . I wasn't ready to see how angry
he would get. "...what are you? Your family needs to know this ." Percy said worriedly. "I'm s- "H-hold on... I-I
want to know how Aries is." My voice was shaking and I felt like I was about to cry. "I'll just call you. Go back to
school." I bit my lower lip hard. I wanted to stay here. I wanted to make sure Aries would be okay. Percy dialed
a number on his cellphone. I backed away from him. I didn't want to face Kuya, I was scared. It would be Hulk.
I looked at Ella who was bowed down and still crying. My vision started to blur and my breathing deepened. I
turned away from them without saying anything. Every step I took was big, just to get away from them. I
couldn't help but apologize to those I bumped into. I couldn't even look at who I was going to meet. Until I hit
someone's body. Instead of moving away from me and getting angry, his arms suddenly wrapped around my
body. I looked at him in shock. Yuri... "What happened? Why are you crying?" he asked worriedly. Instead of
speaking, all I could do was sob. My arms wrapped around him involuntarily. "It's my fault, s-all of this." I said
between my tears. I didn't care if we were still in the hospital. I also didn't care if people were looking at us.
They're abnormal if they think we're on a tele-drama. Is it wrong to cry in public?! "Sshhh... Don't think like
that." He said and let me squeeze his neck. I closed my eyes. Why is this person so kind to me?! He probably
wants to be a Saint, pretending to be a martyr. Of all the people who hurt him, he's literally okay. Just out of
kindness! Share! I gradually stopped crying. I didn't say anything until he asked me to go out. He was about to
ask me to eat but I immediately made it clear that we had to go back to school. He agreed and drove the car
to school. The students were still making a fuss even after the scene earlier. They were constantly gossiping
when we arrived. "Poor Aries, isn't he?" "He's so arrogant! That's just the way he is!" "You know who's weak." I
clenched my fist and glared at them. When they noticed me looking at them. They gave me a sharp glare. I felt
Yuri's hand grab my shoulder. I looked at him. "Don't pay attention to them." He said. I nodded and walked
towards our building. We were almost to the room when I noticed the Ulopongs and other students who
seemed to be making a fuss. I guess this day was really unlucky! Yuri ran away so I did the same. When we
got closer, Calix and Mykel were fighting. Mica was surrounded by David, Eren, Kit and Drew. "Go ahead! Knock
them down!" Mykel's companion who looked like Section D shouted . Calix's face was bloody but he still didn't
want to stop from punching and kicking. "Enough!" Mica cried out. "...Stop Calix!" Yuri and I stepped between
them almost at the same time. I punched Mykel in the face and he sat down on the floor. His eyes were very
angry at me. His companions were alarmed and tried to rush in but Yuri immediately stepped in. "STOP!" He
shouted at full volume. Our heads exchanged glances. Mykel slowly stood up while wiping the corners of his
lips. "Mykel... Why are you here?" Yuri asked softly. Mykel laughed slightly. "I was just picking up Mica." "Liar!"
Calix shouted. "...You tried to kiss her and you're forcing her to come with you!" I looked at Mica who was still
hidden behind the Ulopong. Her fear was obvious. I don't need to confirm what Mykel did. With his attitude.
He's a Mykeliling! "Go away." I said firmly. Mykel came to me with a smile. He pointed at my forehead. "You
can't be followed here." He also said firmly to me. "Go away Mykel. Leave Mica here." Yuri said. The
Maykeliling turned to him. They stared at each other as if measuring their courage and strength. "Watson just
disappeared, if you can act like you're the strongest here. What can you do? Huh? Hanamitchi?" He asked
challengingly. Yuri didn't answer but didn't take his eyes off him. When he didn't hear an answer, the Mykeliling
laughed. Even his companions laughed. They were all right in the brain. "You're not here!" One of the Section D
said arrogantly. "You're just like Aries." The other was furious. "What do you expect from these Section Es!"
Mykel said to his companions. "...They're only brave when Watson is there. He's not here now! That's right!"
They laughed loudly again. I looked at Yuri with his fists clenched. He looked calm but very serious. These
guys are crazy! They're not leaving yet! "Are you done yet?" I asked annoyed. "...Maybe you can leave now?"
Suddenly Mykel came up to me and hugged me. His face was so close to mine that I could smell his cigarette
breath. "You've been here for a while! I'm already getting a kick out of you!" He told me. "...You're just like your
cousin. Your face is annoying." "Let go of Jay-jay." Yuri ordered. Mykel was still holding the collar of my
uniform. He looked at Yuri and laughed slightly. "Make me." He challenged. Yuri was about to approach us but
Mykel suddenly pulled me away from them. Section D was in chaos as other Ulopongs tried to help me. This
little guy took the opportunity and pulled me away from them. I tried to fight back but my uniform was being
pulled and if I wasn't stopped, I would be stripped in no time. They would see my bill... Bill-bill! "What! Where
are you taking me?!" I asked angrily. "I will teach you a lesson. You need to learn to respect the new King." New
King?! Is this self-declared? His face was so stiff! They knocked Aries down to tell him that he was the new
King. How thick! We arrived in front of the main building. In the same place where they beat Aries. Mykel let go
of me so I kept falling to the floor. A few students saw us and quickly ran away. I slowly stood up and a few
moments later the students came out of their rooms. "What is this again?" Freya asked angrily. Mykel pointed
at me while walking near me. " I'm getting tired of this girl." Freya looked at me and raised an eyebrow. I
ignored her. I chose to face Mykel who was circling around and seemed to be thinking of something to do.
There were teachers passing by and were curious but when they saw me or Mykel they chose to just leave
and kill each other out of malice. It's annoying! "Touch me." Mykel suddenly said. Two boys from Section A
were about to approach me. I was so panicked that I immediately kicked one of them in the stomach. The
other one stopped and seemed scared. "Bwisit! There's only one! She's a girl! Then you can't touch her!" Mykel
shouted angrily. I didn't notice him approaching me. It was too late when I saw him swing a punch towards
me. He cursed at me. "Ugh!" I said as I knelt down. The students who saw what he did screamed loudly. My
ision quickly blurred because of the pain. My knees were weak . I must have recoiled inside. I hadn't yet
recovered the strength of his kick. I tripped and fell to the floor. "You two are cousins! It's no use!" He shouted
at me. He was about to come closer to kick me again but a punch knocked him down. With the force of that
punch, he tripped. My arms were shaking as I tried to get up. I looked to see who had done it. I felt fear and
shock when I saw him properly. He looked like he was ready to kill someone. His hair was messy and looked
like he had been fighting with a comb. He was wearing just a simple t-shirt and jeans. His face seemed to be
blazing with anger. Those were the reasons why I almost didn't recognize him. Why he seemed to have
become a different person.... Brother Angelo. Everyone stopped when they saw him. Some men ran and some,
out of sheer fear, must have peed on their skirts and pants. I looked to his side when Yuri and the other
Ulopong arrived. It looked like they had just finished arguing with Section D. When they saw Kuya, they
stopped too. "K-kuya..." I called to him but it was almost a whisper. As Mykel slowly stood up, Kuya slowly
approached him. His nose and muzzle were full of blood. He was also visibly dizzy from not being able to
stand properly. "Who do you think you are?" Kuya asked him calmly. "...You humiliated my brother and hurt my
cousin. Who the fvck are you?..." Mykel stepped back when their eyes met. Even I was scared too. It didn't
seem like Kuya was in front of me now. "...I will make you pay. I will make you wish that you were never born. I
will make you suffer. I will make you ask to die..." Kuya stopped a few feet away from him. "...You will feel hell,
asshole." Suddenly, Mykel sat up and started crying because of fear. We were surprised by his reaction. Kuya
only hit him once but it had such an immediate effect on him. Add to that his look like a knife on a blade. I
have never seen him like this before. Yes, I have seen him get angry before but this is different. Very different!
For some reason I don't understand. It's like I see .....Keifer in him. I know that Keifer, Yuri, Percy and Aries
have similar actions and behaviors . But Kuya Angelo and Keifer are different. I woke up thinking of someone
holding me to help me stand up. Yuri with David and Felix. "What hurts you?" Felix asked. I shook my head in
response and looked at Kuya again. He still stood in front of Mykel. "W-who do you think you are?" Mykel
asked angrily but there was a trace of fear. Kuya Angelo grabbed his collar and brought his face closer to his.
"I am... Your worst nightmare." He said and pushed Mykel away. Section A quickly approached the boy who
was lying on the ground with his knees shaking. The others were still whispering but clearly didn't want to be
heard . Kuya faced us. I stepped back when his gaze stopped. I admit, I was scared of him but he was even
scarier now. His gaze seemed to pierce my soul. "What did that idiot do to you?" He asked softly. My tongue
elt like it was pulling back and I couldn't speak. Kuya was about to approach me but a resounding shout of
his name stopped him. We looked to see where it came from. From the main building, the Guidance Counselor
was walking closer with her big steps. "What do you think you're doing?!" Ma'am said. "...You hurt a student
inside the school! Do you know we can sue you?!" Kuya's eyes were lifeless as they looked at him. "Then sue
me." The counselor was seething with anger. The veins in his head were almost protruding from his anger.
"Your face is so thick!" "Maybe you're forgetting something." Kuya said calmly but his gaze gradually changed.
Kuya's gaze returned to the one he had earlier. I could see the Guidance Counselor's fear but he tried to hide it.
"...I'm the King of this place! I'm the reason this school is still alive ! After all, I own this school but here you
are, insulting me!..." Kuya said angrily. "...Who has the thickest face between the two of us?!" "You bastard!"
The counselor shouted while holding his chest. "... You're so disrespectful!" Ma'am felt like she was going to
have a heart attack. I faced Yuri. "A-wait for Kuya. Ma'am might have a heart attack." Yuri swallowed before
speaking. "You don't understand Jay... No one can stop your cousin." My forehead furrowed. No one can stop?
Keifer looked like he was angry. We looked at them again, Kuya. "You're a failure, Angelo. You have nothing to
brag about, so you can't scare us anymore!" Ma'am said arrogantly. "... You think too highly of yourself!" Kuya
laughed slightly, which surprised us all. "I don't need company to scare. You know that.... Maybe you want me
to burn this school down again and then take your students with me." Ma'am backed away completely and
seemed to turn pale. The other students immediately supported her so she wouldn't fall. "There was a rumor
that this school burned down because of a riot. But I had no idea Angelo had anything to do with it." Yuri said
without looking at me. I felt even more scared. I didn't know Kuya could do something like that. Burn down the
school?! "I'm still the King." She said with a smile.
