Chapter-255


Forgive & Forget


Jay-jay's POV


I spent the whole night thinking about the Ulopongs and Keifer.
I slept until 4am that night. So what's the result? I'm crazy!
Young damn and brokkkeee...
I'm still giggling while singing.
"Jay...Eat now. Maybe you'll be late." Tita Gema said.
I was just stunned as I closed my eyes. I was so stupid
that I thought it was just my imagination that someone was laughing in front of me. When
I tried to look at it, my eyes widened when I felt
bread in my mouth.
"Who put this?" I asked while chewing.
Too bad! It's already in my mouth.
Kuya Angelo and Aries were laughing. I looked at them both with a
wicked look.
"Don't stay up late. So you don't trip at the table."
Kuya whispered.
Did I want to stay up late? I was just thinking about what to
do to the Ulopong. And I was also thinking about their demon King.
I just ate and didn't say anything. We might be late,
Aries was just finishing eating so I hurried even more. I didn't chew anymore,
just swallow if necessary.
When Aries stood up, I stood up too. But before I could leave
the table, Kuya called me. I faced him.
"Why?" I asked.
He looked at me strangely. It was as if
he was observing me and wanted to tell me something that I couldn't understand.
"No, be careful." He said and went back to what he was doing.
Whut?!
Even though it was strange, I chose to ignore it and went to
my room to take a shower. I guess Kuya also lacked sleep.
Before I could even enter the bathroom. I heard my cellphone ring
. I had a text. I picked it up from above
my bed.
All I saw was a normal message. It was from Yuri and from
GagongBaliw. The President of the Shunga Lovers Club just wished me 'Good Morning'
. But this one....
From: GagongBaliw
Message: I am loving you more each day!
I winced. He's probably just having a blast again. Maybe he's not sleeping, like
me. I just chose not to reply to him.
These past few days, no matter how many times he texts, I don't
reply. Because I don't have a load of chat! I just don't feel like
replying to him. I'm still wondering how to find out who
he really is.
If I just find out who he is, I'll throw a shoe at him in the face.
I continued taking a shower. I really hurried because I could feel
the aura of the horoscope. He carries my destiny.
I wasn't wrong, because while I was getting dressed, I heard
my name being shouted from outside the door.
"Quick! Jay! You're so slow!"
"SANDAL!" I shouted.
Since he's a man. He only had a little preparation before entering.
I felt like Aries would just pour water and then come out of the
bathroom. Maybe he'd just spray some perfume so it wouldn't be obvious.
As I hurried, I finally noticed that my socks were different colors.
I didn't change them because it would take me a long time to find a pair.
It probably wouldn't be obvious.
I left the room and almost ran straight to the living room.
There was Aries, looking like he was looking for something in his pocket.
"Let's go!" I said.
"Wait a minute!" He said annoyed. "...quickly."
Oh wow!
It's embarrassing. He shouldn't be rushed. But when it's me, it's okay
to hurry. It's really embarrassing!
"Found it." He said while holding his cellphone. "...let's go!
You're so slow!"
Oh, maybe it's serious! I just stung him while following him. I didn't want
to argue with him and he might see my day.
Remember, he has the Horoscope and he holds my fate for today. I hope
he can give me advice about the problems I'm having.
I quietly got into his car and he did the same. I was about to
fall asleep if only the car horns weren't so loud
on the road with us.
Yes! You guys with cars with horns!
I feel like I regretted it now that I even thought about that slur. Why do
I have to suffer like this? Why do you have to make me suffer?
You snake! SUCKER!
But at least I gained something from my sleep. Aside from
my eyebags that also have eyebags, I decided to become a KPop Idol-
charot! It's hard for the fool, pengeng SLEEP!
I decided to forgive the Snakes. Yes! I will forgive them
I'm done with them. The days of being lazy are over, they're no longer fashionable. It's time to forgive
and forget.
I know it's only a few months until they find out the truth but
I think a few days are enough to make them feel the pain of
what they did. I know they're already regretting it even though it's not obvious to the rest of
them.
What should I expect? They're Vultures.
It's really hard without sleep! They're just learning English even though they don't need to.
It didn't take long for us to get to school. Parking the car,
I was about to get out when I noticed my brother was looking for something again.
"Why? What's that?" I asked.
"Did you see where I put my cellphone down?"
That cellphone was there a while ago.
"No. Maybe it fell under." I said while pointing under
his seat.
He tried to feel under his seat. A few moments later when
he raised his hand, his cellphone was with him.
"You're so stupid!" I said annoyed before getting out.
I didn't wait for him to say anything because I knew he would come back. I didn't
give him a chance. Maybe he'll curse me later.
I can't see him today.
Jusme! No way. My plan today was good!
While walking, I saw Yuri not far away. I ran
up to him and put my arm around him. He was surprised at first but he smiled
when he saw me.
"Good morning." I greeted him with a smile.
"Good morning too. Looks like someone is having a good mood today."
He greeted me with a smile too. "...care to tell me why?"
I let go of his arm and walked with him. Holding
the strap of my bagpack, I smiled at him happily.
"Because.....I'm ready to forgive the Ulopongs." I replied to
him.
He stopped and stared at me before smiling broadly again. "Your
saying that.....shit! This is good news. They'll be happy when
they find out!" He was about to run towards the auditorium when I stopped him. My grip on his arm became
tight, which surprised him. "W-why?" He asked. "Wait a minute! Don't be so impatient!" I said before letting go
of him. "...I need to take my time before telling them." He nodded. "Okay. You probably have a plan, right?" I
raised one finger hoping to get a crisp 'Yes' at the same time. But it was cut short when I realized something.
What exactly was my plan? You son of a bitch! I was so confused, I didn't have one. Even the plan disappeared
from my mind. That's right! I was already up all night thinking about a plan and then that. I forced a smile at
him. "I probably have one....?" He was quickly surprised by my answer. "Seriously Jay." "That's it! It's hard to
explain! I really am confused today. I haven't slept that's why my mind is scattered." He nodded in acceptance
of my answer. We walked together to the auditorium where our classroom was. Hey! When can we get out of
here? "Hello Jay!" Ci greeted me. I noticed that he was okay and seemed to be going back to his old self.
Maybe he doesn't think too much about what happened to his cousin anymore. Or maybe he just chose to
keep his feelings to himself. Sometimes I'll talk to him about it. It's also hard not to have someone to talk to
about his pain. Based on my experience of course! "How are you?" I asked as I got closer. I looked at Kit and
Mayo. They were still with Eren and Josh. But this time they were also with other Ulopong like Rory and Edrix.
They were chatting like they used to. That's a good sign that they're getting okay with Kit and Mayo's situation.
But of course, not everyone is. Like Drew chatting with Denzel. "Jay... Why are your socks different?" Felix
asked me while pointing at my feet. I thought it wasn't obvious. The other Ulopongs near us looked at my
socks. "Maybe he's still sleepy." David said and laughed slightly. "Closed his eyes while looking for socks." Ci-N
said. I was really annoyed by them. These guys really have the power to tease. It feels good to be hit with a
shoe when I look at them. I'll feed them my socks later. I saw Yuri smiling at me. His smile was strange, as if
he was saying 'I know something'. I just felt uncomfortable with him. I didn't know how to find the time to say
what I wanted to say. But I knew it wasn't right now, especially since I saw Sir Alvin approaching us. We each
had our own place. I couldn't stop myself from looking at them all. It was like my stomach was tickling
because of excitement. I was exhausted! I thought they were all complete. Of course, except for their pest
King. Hey! You're a bad man! I'll kick you when we meet again. I'll never be scared like that again. Did you
think! I'd pull hair out of your nose! "Mariano?" Sir Alvin suddenly called out to me. Whut?! "Hair in your nose,
Sir." I didn't answer myself. The Ulopongs laughed loudly. Of course, the ones who teased loudly were the ones
who led the way. Even Sir laughed loudly while shaking his head. "It's just attendance." Yuri said. I just
scratched my head. Bad trip! I don't know! I must be thinking about something . You're a nuisance, Sir.
"Mercado." Sir called next. Drew quickly answered. "Hair in the nose!" Oh, idiot! There they are again!
"Peñaflor!" "Hair in the nose!" This is their job! They replaced the present with hair in the nose. They are all
really stupid! "Peralta!" "Lots of hair in the nose!" The Ulopongs still laughed every time someone answered
like that. I just bowed down while smiling. What a joke! "Ramos!" "Hair in the nose!" I noticed Yuri who was still
laughing next to me. I was about to punch him in the stomach if he didn't stop. "Venites!" "Hair in the nose!" I
didn't know if I was going to cry or what. I couldn't take this teasing of me anymore. You're so funny!
"AaaAaaAyyyy... Stop that!" I said as I felt like I was about to cry . They laughed again and seemed to be
enjoying that I was annoyed by what they were doing. The attendance ended and Sir Alvin started teaching.
My attention was now on him and he might suddenly call me again to see what I could say. Maybe I was
running out of things to say. My class with Sir had just ended when I thought about starting my plan. I really
didn't have a sensible plan on how to start telling them that I forgive them. I stood up from my seat and
walked around as if I was campaigning. I was still playing with my hand on the side with every step I took. I
didn't realize that Josh was about to stand up from his seat. I threw my hand right away so it hit his face.
"Ouch!" He shouted and sat down again. "Sorry, sorry! I didn't notice you!" I said hurriedly while touching the
part of his face that was hit. "Hala! Jay slapped Josh!" Eren said as if he was threatening. "I didn't mean to! I
didn't know he was going to get up!" I explained. "You did it on purpose. I saw it." Felix was teasing me so I
immediately glared at him. "He's angry with Josh." Blaster said. You're such a help. I just fell on my forehead.
It's really hard to talk to these Vipers. Instead of helping me, you're just making the situation worse. "I'm okay
Jay." Josh said as he stood up. "...just be careful next time." He turned his back on me and walked away. I was
forced to go back to my place and sat down while hugging both knees. Annoyed! Annoyed! ANGERED! How
am I supposed to do this? Should I just shout? I stood up from my place again. "HEY! VIPERS!" I shouted while
still holding onto my waist. The heads turned to look at me in surprise. "Why?" The innocent question of the
Young Kumag. I was suddenly taken aback by the way they looked at me. My tongue stuck out and I seemed
to have lost track of what to say. What was I going to say? "W-the weather is nice today, isn't it?" I said while
scratching the back of my head. They were still looking at me in surprise and just blinking. Ci-N suddenly
stood up while smiling widely. "The weather is really nice but it's getting better!" She said and ran. She
bumped into me. I looked at who she ran to and I saw Rakki approaching while carrying a handful of paper in
her hand. Ci-N stopped not far from where I was standing. She raised both hands as if to welcome a hug. I
could see Rakki grimacing and avoiding her as if she was sick. She walked straight towards us and smiled at
me. "How are you?" She greeted me as she approached. "Are you okay?" "It's okay... I have good news for you."
He said, grabbing everyone's attention. "What's that?" "Free food?" "Someone giving away money?" The
Snakes were curious as they approached us. I almost fell over because of their sudden attack. "Maybe you
can move away for now." Rakki said irritably. "Tell me the good news." David ordered. Rakki frowned as she
arranged the papers she was holding. While she was busy doing what she was doing, I noticed Ci-N who still
had her hand raised and was smiling. When will this be a hook? "Put it down. It might smell." Rory told her. But
she didn't listen. We just let it go and it was just a waste of our saliva on her. "Here..." Rakki said and showed
us a paper full of signatures. I was going to read it but these Snakes were already paying attention. They
squeezed me and I almost fell face down on Rakki. "Look! Look!" "Read it! I can't see it!" "Don't! You can't read!"
"What is that? A land title?" "Oh my!" I complained to them. Rakki also looked annoyed with them. He took the
paper back and glared at the guys. "What a mess!" he said annoyed. "...This is a Permit that the Board
members and Principal signed." "Permit? Where?" I asked. "It's a permit to let you use one of the empty rooms
in the main building." He explained. "...so get your things and move." "YOOOONNN!" The idiots shouted loudly. I
felt like my eardrums were bursting from the loudness of their shouting. Even Rakki grabbed his ears. They
each took their own things. And since Ci-N didn't move from where she was standing, I took her things. Josh
arrived just in time so I immediately explained the incident to him. "What, Ci? Are you just like that?" Rakki
asked her. "Hug me." She said with a grin. Rakki and I looked at each other as if we had the same thoughts
about Batang Kumag. She was no longer herself. "Where are you, I'll hug you." She replied and walked away. I
forced Ci's hands down and handed her her bag. "Let's go... You can ask for a hug later." I said while pulling
her. We followed Rakki to the Main building. We encountered people who looked at us and were surprised but
we didn't pay attention to them. "We'll have a proper classroom to use as well." Denzel said. Truly... It's hard to
sit on the floor and have our legs on the table we'll use to put our notebooks on. It's annoying and makes our
legs go numb. Rakki took us to the fourth floor of the main building. We went to the end of the hallway and
stopped in front of a door. These stupid Ulopongs are like being tickled in the anus. They're always smiling
and moving around, obviously excited. Who wouldn't be? Yes! Even I'm excited. Of course, it's a new room and
smart things . We've also put up with the old tables in our original room for a long time. It's just a bit of a miss.
Even though those things are old, we've witnessed everything that happens in the room. Whether it's fighting
or laughing. "Are you ready?" Rakki asked. We were all about to answer when Ci-N suddenly shouted loudly.
"I'M READY TO LOVE YOU TOO MUCH!" She shouted and smiled widely. I winced. Now I really know that she's
okay. She's okay, she's okay. She can say silly things now. Hey.... The Little Kumag, bow! "Pretend we didn't
hear that." Edrix said and we nodded together . We turned our attention back to Rakki who was clearly
scolding Ci. I feel yah! He just shook his head before grabbing the doorknob and turning it. When the door
opened, the light from the large window was the first thing that caught my attention. It felt like the sun was
shining in our classroom. I was dazzled! Aaargghhh... "How are you?" Someone asked. When I looked at it, I
saw Mica holding a broom and rag. Next to her was Ella holding a garbage bag. "Baby!" Calix called out as he
approached his girlfriend. "...why are you here? Why are you holding that? You'll get your hands dirty." We went
inside to look around. The furniture was really new. The entire room was air-conditioned. It was the same as
the Section A room, except they had a flat screen TV in their room. "It's okay." Mica replied to Calix. "...we
cleaned the room for you." "You shouldn't have done that, it's embarrassing." I interrupted them. "A simple
thank you will do." Ella told me while crossing her arms. Wew... "Thank you." I replied while looking away. I
looked at the Ulopongs. They were all looking for a place to sit. Calix was already chatting with his girlfriend
as if they hadn't seen each other in 10 years. While he was delivering it every morning. These two are so
strong. It's a good thing they're okay, I really thought they were going to break up because of me. I faced Rakki
and Ella again to thank them. I saw the two of them smiling while watching these Ulopongs' blasphemies .
"Excuse me, you guys." I said while scratching the back of my head. "...thank you for lending us the
classroom." They looked at each other for a moment before answering me. "Don't thank me. Mica and I were
just cleaning here." Ella said. I looked at Rakki but she immediately shook her head. "Not me. I was just
delivering news."
