Chapter-320

Ink

Jay-jay's POV

Mother sheep!
Sheep really have mothers! But you're the one Watson. That's really it! "Shit." I whispered while trying to wipe
the ink that spread on my desk. "Tissue?" David offered the tissue he had gotten somewhere . I took it and
tried to wipe the remaining stain. It can't dry and I'm sure it won't be removed. I broke my ballpoint pen without
realizing it. The ink immediately spread on my hand and desk. It's a good thing Ci moved my other things
away before I could put it on. "Are you okay?" Sir asked me. I looked at my hands covered in ballpoint ink. I
was sure it would be hard to get it off. I stood up and looked at Sir. "I'm just c-cr." I didn't wait for his answer.
My desk and desk were already dirty from my haste to leave the classroom. Since class had already started, I
didn't see any of my fellow students. I went straight to the CR and immediately turned on the faucet to wash
my hands. I scrubbed my hands vigorously and with a lot of grit. I used soap and rinse but the marks wouldn't
go away until I felt the pain on my skin. Shit! It's really annoying! I leaned my palms on the sink and bent over. I
wanted to scream and cry just to relieve the tightness in my chest. It's been over a month. He's been gone for
so long for his inheritance. I've waited so long. I've hoped so long. He's put up with us so long. I've been
consumed by the thought that he won't come back. I feel like I'm going to lose my mind because of the anger I
can't let out. They all know he's going home. Aries knows and Ella saw him. They were referring to me in their
cellphone conversation. I turned off the faucet and looked at myself in the mirror. Here's another shit! I
entered with my hair messy! And he could see me clearly. I was squirming in annoyance. "It's Yuri!" I said
annoyed. I didn't even look human when I entered. If only I had known, I would have been all powdery before
entering. I would have also put on lipstick and combed my hair. "I'm so ugly." I said annoyed and almost fell to
the floor. It's really ugly! My hair was clearly not combed and was all messed up. My uniform was a little
rumpled. The worst part was, my lips were cracked and there was a pimple peeking out on my forehead. "You
look like a fool." I said in my reflection. I don't want to go back there. I won't go back there. I'll tell Kuya I'm
dropping out. I'll just come back next year. But of course he won't allow that. IT 'S ANNOYING! They're
probably laughing at me now. And they really implicated Sir Alvin. This was planned! Planned! PLANNED! I just
kept thinking about what he looked like earlier. I couldn't look at him properly because it all seemed unreal. Or
maybe it wasn't real? Maybe it was just hallucinations. Maybe I was just paranoid. Those things just tripped
me up and because I was thinking about him, I saw and heard him. That's right! That's right! He's not really in
his place. He's not really sitting there. That's not him. THAT'S NOT HIM! YOU VIRTUES! You thought! I won't be
caught alive. I fixed my appearance and left the bathroom. I walked back and entered the room as if nothing
had happened. I went straight to my place and immediately noticed that the tissues were gone. There was no
ink spilled but there were still marks left. I sat quietly even though I knew everyone's attention was on me. "Are
you okay?" Sir asked me as I sat down. "I-I'm okay." I replied. Sir nodded while opening his lesson plan. Ci
handed me my things before trying to smile at me. I just raised an eyebrow at him because he was clearly out
of his mind. I took my bag and dug out a new ballpoint pen. I only had one left so I had to keep it. I couldn't
break it anymore. I just put it in. I turned back to David's notes and thanked him. Sir was about to start when
he remembered something and I felt like a kettle on the stove. "You missed a lot of lessons, Watson. Do you
need a recap or can I just give you a copy of the lesson and ask your classmates to help you?" Do you think Sir
you're funny? Why, Sir, are you pretending? Are you bald, Sir? Do you think this trip of yours is funny, Sir? What,
Sir? Answer, Sir? I'm not happy with you, Sir! ANSWER?! I'm about to explode from anger, irritation, boredom
and hunger. That's not true Watson! That's enough, stop tripping on me â€". "Just give me a copy and I'll ask
someone to help me." Oh, damn it. Friend! Watson answered. He answered. Your hallucinations are severe,
riend. The hallucinations are responding, that's not a good sign . This is mental! "Okay, you have many
classmates who can help you." Sir said. "Yeah, but one is enough to help me." He answered again. These are
not just hallucinations. What is it?! I need to confirm what's happening. I pulled out a piece of paper from my
notes. I wrote it down before folding it. 'I'm not crazy yet, am I?' I simply handed it to David. Ci didn't seem to
be in the mood, so I'll ask him. Even though he was surprised, he still accepted the letter and opened it to
read. He laughed a little before answering. 'It depends with your definition of crazy.Coz mine is yes you are
definitely crazy.' I read his answer when he returned the paper to me. I felt like stabbing him with a ballpoint
pen. My question was so clear that I was just teasing him. 'I'm hallucinating. I can hear him here in the room.' I
wrote again on the paper before folding it and handing it back to him. He was just reading what was written
on the paper when the Ulopongs started making noises from behind. "Just got back, it looks like someone is
going to attack." Felix said and lightly nodded. David lost the desire to answer my letter. He turned to me and
smiled. I thought that was all, but of course he was David, who was always reserved and had a social instinct.
He didn't agree to be frightened by the noise of his fellow Ulopongs.
He came closer to me and motioned for me to come closer. I did so and
listened to what he had to say.
"No. This is not hallucinations. He is here and if you
really want to confirm." He pinched both of my cheeks with
one hand. "Turn around." I simultaneously turned my head to look at the place where the
heads were.
It was as if my heart was going to explode when our eyes met.
One eyebrow was raised and his head was slightly tilted as if he was
questioning my attitude. A simple smile also flashed
rom his lips for a moment.
Oh my! He is really here!
I immediately slapped David's hand to let go.
I returned to my seat properly and looked ahead.
Sir and I met each other's eyes, who were simply laughing at me. I
just opened my notebook and waited for what to write on the board.
My mind was wandering. It was really real! This is not hallucinations.
The animal is really here. Or maybe David is also crazy like me? But it's unclear because
he's a sensible person to talk to, even though he's more often asleep than awake.
Here's the idiot. Here he is. HERE'S THE
SHAMELESS ONE! The queen has gone home! While he can
study there. Maybe he can buy his own school. He's
bought a plane, a building. He's also bought a teacher. He's also bought
a classmate. He's also bought a friend. And he's also bought a girl,
his only one.
Wait a minute!
I wonder if he's gone home. What if he goes home? Will anything
change? Will this animal's guilt decrease?
It's only increased.
First of all, this animal's deception of me. I used youâ€"I used
you. Stupid! Then he left us in the air. We were like puppies who were
chased away. We had a lot of fights because he was gone and there was no
threat to them. Then, then, THEN HE EVEN MADE ME A
TEXTMATE KINGINA! The name is very fitting for him,
GagongBaliw.
I want to bang my head. When I remember our conversations over
text, I feel like I just want to be buried alive without being able to
see him again.
Bwisit! BWISIT! BWISIT!
"Mariano." Sir called me.
I immediately looked at him and he was slightly surprised by
my reaction. I knew I looked like I was going to kill someone but I didn't care because
I might do that later.
"Why, Sir? What's that again?" I asked calmly but
the threat was still there.
You were just Sir Alvin.
"Are you having a problem?" He asked me while looking at my hand.
I also looked at what he was looking at and I let go when I saw
that the ballpoint pen was buried in my desk but I couldn't handle it so it broke.
Luckily the ink didn't spread.
I calmed down immediately. I needed to calm down. There was no reason
to get angry.
"W-nothing. I just felt like stabbing myself."
He nodded and went back to what he was doing. Because I don't have a pen anymore,
of course I don't have a pen anymore. I tried to borrow one from David but
his head was already pounding. It was embarrassing to wake him up because
he seemed to have been fighting off sleepiness for a while.
I looked over and noticed Batang Kumag chewing.
He was still looking at me with a pout.
"We'll talk later." I whispered. "But a pen."
"Promise. I don't want to hide it from you." He also whispered his answer
after swallowing his food.
He took the bag and rummaged inside. He got a pen
but when he wrote on his palm, no ink came out.
"It's gone. I use this one." He whispered.
There was only one I could borrow that I knew was a boy scout for this kind of
thing. That's why what I said earlier came true. I guess I had a stiff neck
. I couldn't look around properly.
I didn't know how to borrow a pen from him.
I couldn't expect anything else because these idiots don't write.
Except for Eren and Josh who are hardworking but stingy.
I thought about texting him but he might not see it.
I might as well not bring a pen because I don't have a pen. Besides,
what would I do? If I didn't have anything to do, I might go
completely crazy thinking about what was happening behind me.
I would be tempted to turn around.
I really need a pen. I could just use
David's because I don't know where he put it. As for Sir
, he might not let me borrow it because his pens are expensive
and I'd just break them. He might not even let me go out to buy a
new one.
I really had no choice. I sighed and
simply held the side of my neck and slowly turned to
Yuri. It was enough for me to see him and my eyes couldn't catch
the one next to him.
He was just bending over and turning the pages of his notebook. I wanted to
call his name but I didn't want to make a scene. I just
stared at him for a moment. He said something that I didn't hear and looked at
Keiâ€"kwanan next to him.
They talked for a long time before Yuri looked in front.
I waved my hand slightly so that he would notice me. Luckily
, he saw me right away.
"But a ballpoint pen." I said without a sound.
He frowned and came closer. I repeated what I said again
but he was even more confused. I was about to throw up and
I was just embarrassed because of my neck. I just gestured with my hand
as if I was writing and held out my palm.
He looked at the ballpoint pen he was holding and raised it while there was a questioning look on
his face. I quickly nodded and winced because of the pain I
elt.
He took the bag and took the ballpoint pen. I was still staring at it when
I noticed that I was going to love it.
He couldn't stab me.
He was about to stand up to give it to me but his handâ€"the one with the animal's face!â€"was next to him
quickly
. I almost pulled myself out of
annoyance. I didn't want to face him but I really needed that ballpoint pen.
A stab at him! Animal!
I moved my body to face him and ease the
pain in my neck. He was holding the ballpoint pen as if he was being watched.
He said something to Yuri that I hadn't heard.
He turned to face me which made my heart skip a beat. If only I could
punch him, I would have done it just to calm down. I faced him with my forehead raised
even though I really wanted to run outside and scream
. I bravely met his gaze.
I won't chase you.
He looks like he wants to comb his hair now.
What now?!
His face seems smoother .
I'm smoother too!
He seems whiter now,
I care about his color! His
lips are redder too.
That's lipstick!
It seems like a lot has changed in him.
Mine too!
It's only been a little over a month but I feel like it's been a year.
I didn't even feel like he was gone.
"He melted." Ci commented so I quickly turned around. I held my neck for a moment
.
Powta, his neck is broken.
He was obviously holding back his laughter. His nostrils were still wide
and he was trying to look straight ahead.
I just made it difficult for him and turned to face Yuri. I motioned for him
to find the ballpoint pen. He quickly pointed to the one next to him who
was now hunched over and looking at me.
He had a proud smile on his face as he played with
the ballpoint pen in one hand. It was as if I knew what was going to happen. I had no plans
to torture myself just because of that flash of lightning.
If he didn't want to give it to me, then don't.
I just adjusted my seat and looked at Sir. If there was no pen, then
don't write. I'll just borrow some notes again. I'm getting close
to learning David's alphabet.
I'm surprised at how he takes notes.
He only wakes up for a short while in class and then goes back to sleep. Maybe that's why
his writing is like that because he's in a hurry.
While Sir was teaching, I couldn't help but hear the people talking
behind him. I just frowned at what they were saying.
"Don't we have any pasalubong there?" Drew asked.
"I'm happy with the chocolate." Eren said.
"Even if it's just for my baby." Denzel said.
"Don't you have a pair of shoes there?" Rory.
"I want the bus with the second floor." Blaster.
It's so rude to demand these things. It's a different kind of begging.
They should be angry with Keiâ€"kwanan for leaving
us in the air. That's probably the purpose of the plane he gave to Ci-N,
to pick us up.
Where's the one who's so angry and says
their King won't come back? Now that he's in front of them, they can't blame him.
Woooh! Plaaaasssttttiiikkkkkk! Our class with Sir Alvin is over. I know the next teacher will be here
soon so I still have time to buy a pen , a pen. I organized my things and was about to stand up but a hand
holding a pen blocked my face. I stepped back and immediately looked at the owner. The most, most, most,
most unique of all the Snakes was looking at me without any reaction. My chest heaved because it felt like
something was shaking inside. Even my thoughts seemed to be out of order. I felt sweat forming on my
orehead. Why did it suddenly get hot? I immediately noticed the silence around me so I looked at them. The
heads immediately turned their backs on us and it was like there was an epidemic because of their weak
coughing. I faced their King again who was obviously waiting for me to reach for what he was holding. "N-no.
I'll just buy it." I said and stood up. "I'll buy it." He said and lowered his hand to my table. "What brand?" I
couldn't get rid of the slight change in his voice. It seemed to have deepened slightly as if he was already a
young man. "No." I answered briefly and was about to leave my seat when he grabbed my hand. Jusko!
Merciful heaven! It felt like electricity was flowing through me from his hand. I immediately shook it off as if
he had a contagious disease. My eyes widened in disbelief that he had touched me. Geeerrrrmmmmsss!!! A
crooked smile spread across his lips. "What?" "W-don't...what...w-don't...touch me." I coughed slightly to get rid
of my nervousness. I was already speechless. Why was I being affected like this? Keiâ€"that's just a little bit. I'll
take care of him and when he comes back! I heard the soft laughter of the Ulopong even though their backs
were turned to us. You're not helping. "Just tell me the brand name." He said, taking the cellphone. I blinked at
his new cellphone. It was obviously an expensive and newly released model. I kept wondering if his face or his
cellphone would be the first to break when I threw it at him. "W-what for?" I asked with a mix of annoyance. "I'll
buy you. Is that enough for an entire factory?" He asked arrogantly. Oh my god! I want to grab him right now.
His Ulopong behavior hasn't changed . It seems like it's gotten worse because he's gotten his inheritance.
"Okay. Just stick it all in you." I said annoyed and turned around . I continued with my plan to buy a ballpoint
pen. A box, so that when I get angry I can really stick it all in him. When I returned to the room, I immediately
noticed how quiet they were. I thought it was because the teacher was already there but it seemed like he
would be back later. Their King was gone and it seemed like their plan to buy a factory was coming true. I just
arranged my things as I sat down. I also returned Yuri's ballpoint pen to him. I noticed his crooked smile so I
immediately gave him a hard time. When I returned to my seat, the idiot Keiâ€"kwanan entered. He was holding
a big red bag that you would think was Santa Claus ready to give out gifts. I just ignored him until he stopped
in front of me. "After class, we'll talk." He said and I immediately blushed. "Who said I'm willing?" I asked
bluntly. He smiled arrogantly. "I know you'll say that." He suddenly poured the contents of the bag he was
carrying onto my table. The fresh smell of expensive chocolate wafted through. There was so much that
some of it fell to the floor and was quickly picked up by the hungry. "Put it back." He ordered and the Ulopongs
quickly did so. I literally drooled at the amount of chocolate in front of me. Some were familiar but I only saw
more on the internet. Some were big, some were small, some were in beautiful containers, some were just in
cartons and of course there were always those with different flavors inside. Serep nemen!! "Listen up! No one
is allowed to take their part until Jay-jay get hers!" He shouted and his fellow Ulopongs quickly protested.
"Jay-jay!!" "Take it now!" "It's like you're being pitiful! You'll sulk later!" They said one after the other. They were
just yelling at me in my face. They were all pushing me to take it and forget about my anger for now. Am I
angry? I don't remember being angry. Keiâ€"kwanan came over and leaned closer to my face. I deliberately
moved away from him to avoid any disaster. "Let's see how long will you hold that ego of yours." He said and
winked. Dead!
