Chapter-251

Human


Jay-jay's POV


The morning sermon will be served to you right away.
Kuya must be in the moodâ€"in the mood to lecture.
"You haven't completed your school day! It's always half-day
and you're still late!" He lectured me while at the dining table.
I kept my head down while eating rice. I occasionally
glanced at Aries who was in front of me but he didn't even
look at me.
He would rather be in front of the hotdog!
"What's going on at your school?! You guys have already been removed from your
room and you haven't even been given a proper class!"
Why is he scolding me about that?
When he could have gone to our school to
find out.
"That's enough of the sermon. Eat." Tita Gema said with a smile.
She was in a good mood right now, Kuya must have been too but when she saw me, she
suddenly stepped on me.
I'm pretty, why did she suddenly get angry?
I heard them last night, they said there were investors from the UK who were interested in
Tita's company. I think their meeting is today.
That's why they woke up early to get ready and they woke us up early too
. We have nothing to do with what's going on at
that investors' club.
But whoever he is, bless him.
He's really coming here from the UKâ€"UKay-UKayâ€"this United Kingdom just to see Kuya
Angelo. Please! That's why Kuya Angelo is so handsome now,
just don't blow his nose in anger.
"Mom, you're really not going to come?" Kuya asked before starting to eat.
"No. You can handle that."
"Okay, I'll just call right away to give you an update."
Tita didn't say anything. She just patted Kuya on the arm and went back
to the kitchen. I looked back at Aries when he suddenly stood up.
"I'm going to take a shower. Hurry up." He told me and left.
He left me at the table with Kuya. He left me? He left me!
HE LEFT ME!! I
was angry!
I hurried my food because I felt like I knew what was going to happen.
"Hey Jay-jay, I'm telling you! You're graduating! Don't
do anything that will harm you!" He told me.
I felt like I was in a race because of the speed of my swallowing and chewing.
I almost swallowed.
"Are you listeningâ€"."
"I'm done eating!" I said with my mouth full.
I jumped up and walked away from the table. I almost
choked when he shouted my name but I ignored him.
I was so sorry but damn, I wasn't in the mood to listen to his sermon.
I can't tell him what's really going on at
our school. I can't tell him that we have a problem too.
The situation might only get worse if he finds out. He won't
understand either.
I'm going straight to the bathroom to take a shower. This time, I'll go ahead of
Aries. I won't let him leave me again and yesterday might happen again.
Yuri called me last night. He already found out who the
damn animals who tried to kidnap me were. They were R.Sato's people. but what
I don't understand is that they don't seem serious about kidnapping me.
Because the ones who tried to kidnap me often put me to sleepâ€"hello?! How many
times has that always been the case? Then they just disappeared, it was like a joyride.
Life was different for those people.
I quickly got ready to leave the bathroom. I also checked the time on
the wall clock and when I noticed it was still early, I sat down at the end
of the bed and opened my cellphone.
I had a text from GagongBaliw and also from Yuri.
I put the President of the Shunga Lovers Club first and it might be important.
From: Pres.Yuri
Message: Do you want me to pick you up?
I frowned. I'm going to go with Horoscope. I immediately typed a
reply to him.
To: Pres.Yuri
Message: No. Say bye, Big Bro.
From: Pres.Yuri
Message: wow. Haha be careful! I'll wait for you at the school gate.
I'm an idiot! Wow, that guy with red hair is probably teasing me. I ignored
that and just opened the idiot's message.
From: GagongBaliw
Message: Almost
Tulok! Here's another one. What's 'almost'? I thought this guy was crazy when he typed
the message. People really have a different worldview these days. What are
they doing?
I didn't reply to the idiot. I might catch more of
his madness. I just stuffed my phone in my bag.
While putting on my shoes, I heard a knock on my bedroom door
followed by a shout.
"Hurry up, Jay! I'll wait for you outside!" Aries brought
my fate.
"Ge!" I only answered him.
I quickened my pace and my brother might just get angry
. Horoscope is still bad and
my day might be unlucky.
After getting ready, I took my bag and left the room.
I met Kuya who was looking at me badly.
"Jay! I'm telling you! Get ready!" He told me while standing.
I just made a peace sign with my finger and smiled broadly while walking
and facing him. When I passed, I immediately started running.
Aries was already outside and leaning on his car.
Wow! He's so handsome.
"You're so slow." He said before getting into his car.
I pouted. I was still slow and quickened my pace.
I started running. I guess he wanted to be my Flash just so
he could say I was fast.
I got into his car. He didn't move at all while
driving. I had a chance to look outside and at the cars
behind. I need to be alert and maybe those Sato pest
crews will come again . Will Swiper or Swiping work on them? I noticed the car slowing down until we turned
into a subdivision. The place was unfamiliar to me and I didn't know who was from here. But my question was
answered when I saw a woman not far away. She was wearing an HVIS uniform. Her long hair was blowing in
the wind and her porcelain-like complexion was shining. And of course, her angelic face. But she thought like
a demon. I looked at Aries. Her head was very serious and it was as if she didn't know that we had a problem
with this woman. I'm not sure if we had made up, because all I know isâ€"we really won't get along anymore.
The car stopped in front of her. In front of Ella. It turned out that this woman was going to pick up Horoscope.
She came to my side with a smile and opened the door. Her smile quickly disappeared when she saw me.
Hehe. I smiled at him. "You stay in the back." I said with a hint of teasing. His forehead immediately furrowed.
"I...no.....you have to move. Aries and I have something to talk about." We almost looked at each other, my
sister who I guess was conceived in resentment. He just raised one eyebrow at us. "What?" I stared at him,
risking getting what I wanted to say â€" that I should be here and Ella in the back. But this one didn't really care .
He just gave us a hard time and looked at the road. "Please Jay." Ella said but she was obviously not talking. I
felt like a bull with air blown out of its nose. This person was so intense! I rushed out and moved to the
backseat. The door almost broke because I closed it. I almost went blind from the wind. This woman was
starting to make my blood boil again. Come on! I'll hit you. One time. Aries started the car again but I looked at
Ella when I noticed she was handing me something. I flinched. "What's that?!" I said annoyed. "MP3 player and
a headset. So you won't hear anything from us." She replied bluntly. I was already in pain because of the
annoyance. "Don't! I have it." I took the headset and my cellphone from my bag. I immediately put it in my ears
and barely turned up the volume. I was really annoyed, I was going to kick this guy in the face. It's so annoying!
She's the one who's beautiful. I was so annoyed that I didn't notice what I was playing . "It's really hard to be a
STUPID" Oh shit! I guess this song was intentional. It seemed to hit me. This is the beautiful team song of our
club. I ignored the two in front. Let them talk. Whatever they were doing, I didn't care anymore. Even if they
were kissing and making out. But it didn't seem like that was what they were doing. I planned to turn down the
volume of my cellphone to hear what they were talking about but maybe this one would notice. Don't try and
you might get hurt. It wasn't long before we arrived at school. I got off before them and didn't even say
goodbye. I took off my headset and put it back in my bag with my cellphone. "Jay." Someone called me while
holding my elbow. I turned around and Yuri smiled at me. "Oh yeah. I forgot you were supposed to wait for
me." I said while putting my hand on my head. "That's...when someone really isn't important, you forget them
quickly." My eyes blinked as I looked at him. "What are you fighting for?" "My love for you." He replied with a
wide smile. I laughed a little at him but with a hint of teasing. "Ha.ha. You didn't eat breakfast, did you?" I
asked and smiled at him, making him laugh. He also smiled like a child. "No." He was crazy because of
hunger. We both just laughed and shook our heads. We walked towards the auditorium. As we got closer, I
couldn't help but feel nervous. I don't know! I hope we don't get into trouble like yesterday. When I entered, I
found something different than I expected. Everyone was sobbing and it looked like there was a mass in a
church because of their looks. The only strange thing I noticed was that the Ulopongs had split into two
groups. Mayo and Kit were separated. It was just the two of them and the other Ulopong was on the other
side. Instead of approaching the others like Yuri did, I chose to approach Kit. "What's wrong? Why are you
here?" I asked. "Please!" Mayo said annoyed while looking at me evilly. Kit nudged her to stop. "I'm not talking
to you." I replied. Kit turned to me and smiled. "I'll stay away from them first so there won't be any trouble." I
nudged Mayo. "What's up?" "Just follow me." I bowed. He really had to adjust for these narrow-minded
impactors. "After all, you shouldn't be the one adjusting for them. They should be the ones doing it for you." I
heard Mayo's insulting laugh. "You thought they would do that." My eyebrows furrowed. "Why are you
interrupting me ? Are you talking to someone?" She scolded me. "Get out of here." "I don't want to!" I sat next
to Kit. "I'll sit here." Suddenly Kit looked at the Ulopongs so I looked at them too. They were all looking at us
and the others like Drew were looking at Mayo with disdain. The only thing I didn't understand was why even
Eren and Josh, who were friends of these two, were with the impactors. I saw Ci-N who still didn't seem to
understand what was happening. Just like yesterday when we went home. I tried to talk to her, but she didn't
move. Sir Alvin arrived and even though he was surprised at our position, he ignored it and started teaching.
There was a time when I looked at Kit because of my concern for him. I couldn't help but look at him now,
almost the entire Section E is complete. Luckily, the pest Hari isn't there yet. Our class with Sir Alvin is over. I
understood something at least a little. I won't say what it was, it's just mine because I might lose it. While I
was organizing my bag, which only contained a few notebooks. I heard the guys calling me. "Jay..." Rory.
"...you're here. Don't be there." I frowned. "I want you here." "Don't be there." Denzel said annoyed. "Don't
interfere." "You bastard! Sit here." Edrix said annoyed. "Oh, you bastard! I want you here." Let's stand firm. "Jay-
jay..." Kit called me. "...you should probably be there with them." "I don't want to! I told you, I'll be by your side
no matter what." "Yes... But not literally." "You're here, Jay-jay." Drew said. "...you might get infected with the
gayness there." Oh, idiot. Before I could even curse at him, his face and Mayo's fist had met. They were arguing
again and each one was scolding whoever they wanted to scold. "You idiot!" "Gay!" "You idiot! Clean your
mouth!" I just pulled my hair out. It was so hard for them to just attack their classmate like this. What else
could I expect, they're Ulopong. I let out a deep sigh. We waited a few minutes before the two were finally
separated. Drew's bruises and wounds were covered with new scars and marks. Mayo clearly wanted to
cripple him out of anger. "Okay? Done? Your faces are kissing each other's fists, maybe you can stop?" I said
sarcastically. "It's her fault!" Mayo pointed at Drew. "You're a dick! Since it's true!" The other one replied. Mayo
tried to reach her but five people grabbed her to stop her. Yuri and David also started talking. "Is there
something wrong?" Ci-N said and I and the others looked at her. " Is there something wrong with them?" Ci-N...
"Isn't gay the one who dresses like a woman even though they're a man?" She asked and the others' attention
immediately shifted to her. "O-yes..." I hesitantly answered. "...but that's not allâ€"." "I know." She cut me off from
what I was going to say. "...I know that even if they don't dress like women, there's a chance that they'll like
other men too." "What do you mean?!" Mayo asked annoyed. "I have a cousin. We're close because he's kind to
meâ€"." "Now is not the right time for you to be telling stories." Josh whispered. "â€"he died." We were all
stunned. "...because the people around him judged him just because he was gay." "Is that why you're silent?" I
asked. He nodded as tears fell from his eyes. "I don't understand. I don't understand why someone has to be
judged just because they're gay." He looked at me. "... they're still human, right? They're still the ones who are
with us? They're still the ones who help us? They're still the ones who make us smile? Nothing has changed
about them, they just admitted who they are. So what's wrong?" Silence. That's what enveloped us all. I
wanted to answer his question, but I couldn't. I didn't know how to explain it to him. I didn't know what was
wrong. "Should I wait for Kit to commit suicide before answering my question?" He said while wiping away his
tears. "...I've already lost my cousin, will I also lose my friend?" Ever since I met Ci-N, she has always amazed
me with what she does and says. Her intelligence, her talent, and her perseverance. Now, I'm amazed by her
again because of what she said. Those words were clearly a slap in the face to these Ulopongs. They all
avoided each other and the others bowed down. "Don't worry." Kit said and smiled at her. "...I won't be lost." I
patted Kit on the shoulder before approaching Ci-N. I hugged her tightly. Now I can explain to her. "There's
nothing wrong with them. There's nothing wrong with your cousin and Kit." I looked at the Ulopongs. "...people
who judge them without even knowing what they're going through are wrong. Those people are wrong
because they have closed minds. They are wrong because they only understand their own understanding.
They are the ones who are wrong, not Kit....not your cousin." He hugged me too. He was still young. Too young
to think about things. Too innocent about things that he should have known by now. "Jay-jay was right." Edrix
said. "...after all, we shouldn't have judged Kit." "But you probably can't blame us either. We get along with him
in everything, and then one dayâ€"that's just the way it is." Rory said. "Maybe give us time to adjust." Calix said.
"Maybe.... Kit is still our friend. That's why we can accept him." Blaster added. At that moment, I suddenly
remembered the Ulopongs I met before. Those idiots who, even though I knew they were idiots, were still
reliable. I felt like something was pinching my heart. I shouldn't have felt this, but I couldn't help it. "Sorryâ€"."
"Hey, you!" Someone shouted, interrupting what I was about to say. I frowned. What is this woman doing here?
"S-is that Honey?" Felix asked while looking at the woman who was getting angry with every step she took
towards us. She stopped right in front of me. Even Ci-N was shocked by her so she immediately hid behind
me. "Jay-jay, right?" She asked me sternly. "O-oh." "Where is your stepbrother?" I frowned while looking at Felix
who was also curious about what was happening. "P-percy?" She raised her eyebrows at me. "Do you have
another stepbrother aside from him?" I shook my head. What's wrong with this? "Then, answer my question."
She ordered. It was as if something clicked in my brain and I started to get irritated by her expression. "Is it
your problem? What do you need from him?" She widened her eyes at me. "Your. step. brother. owe. me. a.
lot." Shit! What's wrong with Percy? ++Don't forget to V ote, Comment and Share.
