Why and When
Jay-jay's POV
"Ahhh!" Ci-N shouted. "...Why are your eyes like that?" I touched the bottom of my eyes. My eyebags also had eyebags. Bad trip! Percy didn't answer after his last message. I almost snatched David's cellphone from my plea. But David didn't want to help me anymore. He tried to take me home. I couldn't do anything but cry. He was the one who bought Ci-N's food which he didn't eat either because he was already asleep when I arrived. "I didn't sleep well." I replied and went straight to the bathroom. I really didn't sleep. I tried to close my eyes and count sheep, goats, horses, frogs, buffaloes and dogs in my mind but still nothing. My head hurt so much and my body felt heavy. What I still don't understand is why his message was like that. What was it? Was it sent by mistake? But it's impossible. He mentioned Yuri and the ring. Could it be that he knew about the engagement? But how did he know? Agh! There it is again! My head hurts again. I immediately washed my face and brushed my teeth. I also tied my hair in a bun. When I came out of the bathroom, I saw Ci-N as if she was looking for something. She had also turned the mattress she was lying on the floor upside down but she still couldn't ï¬nd it. "What are you looking for?" I asked. "The one that's ringing." After she said that, my eyes automatically searched for my cellphone. It's mine! It's my ringtone! I turned my bed upside down but nothing. Until I looked in the trash. Damn! I threw my cellphone away because I was so annoyed. I was depressed last night. I felt like my cellphone was useless so I went straight to the trash. I immediately picked it up and looked at the caller. King Ulupong Calling... I looked at Ci-N before answering it. "Hello." I said after answering the call. ["Kindly explain why you're not answering any of my phone calls and text messages."] He asked authoritatively. "H-ha? W-what... W-why... Eh." That was all I could answer while rubbing the back of my head. He called out of the blue last night but I didn't answer because I was busy talking to David and crying. ["Shhh."] I suddenly stopped. The feeling that suddenly changed me for some reason I couldn't understand or maybe it would be more accurate to say that I missed that 'Tss'. ["...Are you going with Eman to go grocery shopping?"] Oh yes, of course! I looked at the time on the wall clock. It was a good thing it was still early. "O-yes... I'll go. Why?" ["See you later."] He said and suddenly the call died. What a shame?! This animal is already calling! I'm going to be scolded in the morning. I faced Ci-N to hopefully remind her to go grocery shopping. She said she would go with him yesterday. But she looked very serious as she looked at her cellphone. "Hey... Why?" I asked. "I can't go with you." I looked at her in surprise. "Hm?" "We're going to meet Rakki and... Ate." I just nodded. I wanted to ask what i t was about, but I chose to remain silent. I had a strong feeling that their conversation was serious. He went straight to the bathroom to wash himself. I got dressed. When he came out of the bathroom, I told him to go have breakfast. We met Aries who---as usual---gave us a bad look. While eating, I couldn't help but stare. Ci-N was so quiet. "What time are you going home? Are you going to stay the night?" I broke the silence. "I'm not sure. But I'll call you right away." He answered formally and forced a smile. I didn't say anything and continued eating. He ï¬nished before me and immediately went back to my room. Why?! When I got back to the room, he was already getting dressed. Wow! He's so well-groomed! He's dressed like this, like he's not a child. I also took a shower. I acted quickly. Even while getting dressed. We left the house together. Ci-N was the only one who got in the car and left. I was left standing at our corner waiting for someone to pick me up. While waiting, I couldn't escape the sight of a group of men smoking cigarettes on the other corner. Here we go again! They were staring at me and constantly whispering. But before they could even take a step, a loud car horn shattered my eardrums. Pvta! It's Eman! "Get in!" Eman shouted loudly. I was nervously getting into the passenger seat. I knew someone was sitting on a shotgun. Who else, that's the one who would be good to shoot with a shotgun. Blaster?! "What are you doing here?!" I asked in surprise. I expected Eren or Rory or Kit. Just one of the real troublemakers. "I have nothing to do at home." He answered boredly and looked out the window. "You have an enemy, huh." Eman said and pointed at the group of men on the other corner. "What? Should I call for back up?" Blaster asked. I shook my head. "No...They didn't do anything to me." Aga-aga, the search was immediate. These guys are ï¬ne too. Eman just shrugged and started the car. We headed straight to a mall closest to us. After parking the car, we immediately went to the supermarket. There were only three of us together so there wasn't much trouble. Eman was holding the list while Blaster and I were pushing the cart. While looking around, I glanced at the cellphone Blaster was holding. It was a picture of a beautiful woman on his wallpaper. I nudged him. "Who is that?" "H-ha? "My... What... Bestfriend." He replied. His bestfriend? "That... that... Kei's girlfriend----" "Yes." He cut me off and walked away from me. That's why Keigan was so protective, she was so beautiful. Bestfriend?! Oh! Oh! Oh! We continued shopping, just quickly because Eman only took what she needed. Unlike before when she was with others. She was ï¬ghting over everything . We also grabbed a snack. I stopped in front of the candies. I saw a jar of lollipops. Lollipop. Lollipop. Lolli. Lolli. Lollipop. I suddenly remembered the King of Cobras. The ï¬rst time I saw him, he had a lollipop stuck in his mouth. I suddenly remembered that we were going to meet later. Some idea came to my mind. I took the jar of lollipops. "You'll pay for it." Eman told me. "Yes... Besides, this is mine." We continued shopping. As soon as Now that everything is complete, we head straight to the cashier. The line is long. "That'll be later..." Blaster said and turned to face me. "...Come with me for now. I'm just going to buy something from a stall over there." I looked at the line. It was long and there were also a lot of people buying in ront of us. I nodded. "Okay... This will be later." "Leave me alone?!" Eman said annoyed. "Come on... Let's go!" Blaster said to her. Eman just gave her a bad look in response. We said goodbye and headed straight inside the Mall. Looking at Eman, it seemed like he wasn't as belligerent as the others. He was also mature in his thinking. He was really upset when he thought about arguing like the others. "Let's go there." Blaster pointed to a perfume store. While waiting for him, I looked at a fastfood restaurant just across from where I was standing. It was like I saw Ci-N. I looked closer and saw him sitting there, with....His brother?! I thought he was his sister and Rakki was the one he was talking to? But it seemed real because across the seat from them, Rakki and a woman who looked like Ci-N and her older brother were sitting. They were so beautiful and sophisticated. I wasn't sure how long they had been talking and how long I had been staring at them, but their faces were so serious . Suddenly, Ci-N stood up and approached Rakki. I thought she was just going to say something but she bent down and kept bringing her face closer until their lips touched. "Ooohhh... Ooohhh.." I called to my companion. I suddenly forgot his name, Blaster. The vendor he had been talking to also looked at me. "How are you, Jay?" Blas asked. I couldn't speak. I just pointed to Ci-N and Rakki's place. "Nice! The youngest of Section E looks like a young man." She said and immediately took out her cellphone to take a picture of them. The Kumag Kid! "...Let's go. They might see us." Blaster said to me and grabbed something from the vendor. But I couldn't move from where I was standing. I wanted to see the next scene. Maybe it's another kissing scene! Tengene! I'm so excited for them! Awesome! Ci-N is acting like a cobra again. "Let's go!" Blas shouted so I had to follow him. But as we walked I couldn't help but smile. Oh my! Ahihihi... "You look so stupid, Jay..." Blas commented so I stopped. "...You're smiling all by yourself. People will think you're crazy." I just made it difficult for him. Do they care, since the scene earlier made me smile? When we arrived at the supermarket, Eman was the next to the cashier. We immediately approached her. "Emaaaaannn..." I called out to her while excited. "How are you?" She asked. "Because we saw Rakki and Ci-N-- --" "They kissed." Blaster cut me off. Oh, pay attention! I glared at him. I should have said that. This is so annoying . "Nice!" Eman commented. "It's a good thing Ci-N has scored. That one over there is still HHWW with his girlfriend." Blaster interrupted. There are only three of us here. Obviously that's not me, because I don't have a girlfriend. That one isn't the cashier either because we don't know her. I looked at Eman who was giving Blaster a bad look. "Stop it." Eman ordered authoritatively. The other one just laughed. It looked like someone was still having an argument. But that's not what I was worried about. What is the status of Rakki and Ci-N?
