Jay-jay's POV


Quiet. It's like there's an angel watching over her.
Brother Angelo?
That's not an angel. That's just pretending. His two hands were blocking his face from closing.
His eyes were circling around us at the table. I couldn't help but feel nervous. My eyes were also wandering
around them. "I'm going to see Jeana." Aunt Gema broke the silence. I was stunned for a moment and looked
at her. She didn't even glance at me . It was like I just heard her say that she was going to see Mama. I knew
they wouldn't get along but Aunt Gema was trying to fix what was between them. "Be careful." Aries said
lifelessly. "Maybe I'll go home tomorrow." Tita Gema added, stopping Kuya. "Is there a problem?" She asked.
Tita shook her head. "Jeana is just asking me to help." About what? "C-can I follow?" I asked. "No." Kuya
Angelo and Tita Gema answered quickly and at the same time. Aries and Tito Julz and I also looked at them
at the same time. "Maybe it's just us. It's not important." Tita said and forced a smile. I looked at Aries who
was also looking at me. Tita quickly finished her food and left the table. Tito Julz followed her to take her
away. There were only three of us at the table. I felt like I knew what was going to happen next . There was a
deluge! "Jay." Kuya called to me. There it was! The spoon with rice that I was about to eat hung in the air. "W-
why?" "I was talking to Alvin." He started and I put the spoon down on the plate. "You don't follow his orders
and you're too shy to answer." Whut? "No!" I defended myself. Sir Alvin was terrible. I was reporting to Kuya,
but I didn't do anything wrong to him. Kuya Angelo raised his eyebrows at me as if he was reassuring me. I
couldn't help but be afraid of what he was doing. "M-just once." I replied and bowed. Kuya quickly slammed his
palm on the table. Even Aries was surprised by what he did and almost choked on the water he was drinking.
"Why are you treating him like that? You're so arrogant!"
"N-no. W-what's up, c-c-c..." I couldn't find the right
answer.
I wanted to cry. This is how he started this morning.
I was still so happy because it was Friday and I had a day off tomorrow. I wouldn't
see the face of the pest King of Cobras.
I'd be able to muster enough energy to face him next week. My
day had already started badly.
"You're just saying that you're not taught good manners
here! Did we teach you to disrespect your teacher?!"
He asked angrily. I was bowing my head while shaking my head. I thought he was going to talk to me because
Keiâ€"kwanan was already there. He was going to lecture me because Sir Alvin had reported someone . " N-no.
C-c I guess he's going to take a bath. If he gets ahead of me again, he'll rush me again. And it's a big sin if
we're late because of me. You thought he'd die if he got caught. "K-kuya. I'm going to be late." I said as if I were
talking but slowly stood up. "What are you planning?" He asked, making me stop. "I'm going to take a bath."
"About Keifer." I didn't move at all. I couldn't even speak. What was I planning? That crazy guy beat me up
several times yesterday. It's a good thing Aries picked me up from the room when I got home because the
idiots were still planning to party. If I could just avoid it, that's all I would do. But that's not the case because
that pest Keiâ€"kwanan doesn't want to stop . He just got home but he immediately started ruining my day . It's
a good thing my stiff neck that I blame him for is gone. Thanks to Aries' strong neck yesterday when we were
going home. He got angry because he said I was naughty and that I didn't want him to pick me up. I was just
thinking, they're going to eat again and I'm not with them. "I know you two have a thing." He said calmly. "What
thing? There's no such thing!" I quickly defended myself because there really wasn't one. "Brother, I was
ooled!" "You were fooled. You mean, do you have feelings?" "Yesâ€"no!" I had to refuse. Because that's what
should be and that's right. That supposed love won't bring me anything good. Especially in front of my cousin
who pretends to be an angel who came down from heaven. Brother shook his head. "Where would he pick up
your nonsense?" "I'm going to finish my studies." I said arrogantly. "I didn't say no. Even if you get pregnant
now, you'll finish." "Why would I get pregnant?" "I'm just kidding." "I don't believe it. It's not your social instinct." I
said and was about to turn my back on him but I put the rice back on my plate. I finished it first and grabbed a
hotdog before leaving. "Jay. Be careful." He chased after me before I could even leave the dining area. I ran
straight to my room and the bathroom. I acted quickly. I almost forgot to brush my teeth. And while I was
getting dressed, my fate came knocking. "You're really slow!" He complained. "Yes! Yes!" I just pouted in
annoyance. Because of the rush, my socks were different again. I just let it go and I don't often criticize at
school. Do they care? Are they washing my socks? Let them buy soap. I walked out after making sure that all
my things were okay. I even said goodbye to the two snorlaxes. "It's been a while!" Aries said angrily before
getting into his car. I didn't say anything and it might just make him angrier. Then he would curse me. No way, I
should have a good day today. Because today is Friday. Last day before Saturday and Sunday. And what is
Saturday and Sunday? My rest, my eyes rest, my mind rest and my feelings crushed by my intense anger at
the appearance of that pest man. So it should be good vibes today. The car stopped in the school parking lot.
No one said anything nice to Aries and me, because there was no curse. I walked into school. I just kept going
even though I noticed that other students were looking at me and whispering too. It seemed like I knew the
reason. The King of Pests Snakes had gone home of course. I guess the rumors about us were going around
again . I just felt sick in the air. It was hard to be nice. When I got to the floor of our classroom, I stopped. Here
we go again, I need to stretch my patience and raise my pride. I just sighed before stepping on my feet again
and walking into the room. As usual, the idiots are hyper again and the reason? There is food again. Good
thing I had breakfastâ€"is that French toast I smell? I briefly glanced at what the kids were eating. There was
ried rice, hotdogs, ham, omelettes, longganisa, tucino, spam, and other non-Filipino breakfasts. My eyes were
still rolling around hoping to see what the others were eating, but I was stopped when I met Kei-kwanan's
eyes. He smiled simply, thinking I would return the favor. I simply raised my middle finger and used it as a
peck. Instead of being annoyed by what I did, his smile widened . I just made him uncomfortable and sat
down in my seat. I was momentarily stopped when I noticed what was on the table. A box with a ribbon. It
looked like a gift but the box was unwrapped. It should have been wrapped so it would look better even
though it was empty. I briefly arranged my things before focusing on the box. Could this be for me? Or was it
just something that was on top of it. I turned to look at Ci to ask but she was busy eating. Her mouth was so
ull that it almost wouldn't close. I quickly changed my mind and turned to David who was currently enjoying
her coffee. The coffee was a waste. There was no tea, he was still asleep later. "David." I called out to him.
"Hm?" He replied while sipping his coffee but his eyes were on his cellphone. "This is for me?" I asked while
pointing to the box on my desk. He turned around for a moment and looked at what I pointed to. "What do you
think?" "It's on my desk, for me." I replied. He smiled sheepishly. "No. It just fell on the table." I looked at him
with a wicked look. He was talking to her calmly. He had had his coffee but his eyes were already in the mood
to tease again. Was that the result of having a social instinct? I suddenly remembered what Kuya said. Not
that I believed it but I just wanted to be reassured. I wanted to hear what a real person with a social instinct
would say. "David." I called her again and moved closer. " I just have a question." She stopped drinking coffee
and let the phone die just to listen to what I was going to ask. "Do you think I'll get pregnant early?" Her face
quickly turned sour as if my question surprised and embarrassed her. She barely managed to stop me. She
was too scared to react. "What the hell? Did you do that....thing?" She asked in shock. I blinked as I thought
about the thing she was referring to. I quickly went "oh" when I realized what she meant. "No! Just think about
it, it's just based on my personality." She stared at me for a moment. "Why are you asking me that?" "You're a
social instinct, right?" She scratched her eyebrows. She didn't say anything anymore so I felt like she was
thinking . It was quite a while before she spoke again that I almost decided a few times whether to open the
box or not . "Tagal..." I whispered, deliberately letting him hear. "I think so..." He started, so I adjusted my seat.
"No." I smiled at what he said. I trusted his hunch more than Kuya's. "As long as Keifer won't be your
boyfriend." He added, making my smile disappear and he laughed. "Are you serious?" I asked sarcastically. He
shook his head. "Some instincts are usually based on human's personality and of course, the common logic
around it." Wow. I didn't understand. It's hard to be a shunga. "What do you want to convey?" "Based on Keifer's
personality. Once you become one, he won't let you go. That's why you're pregnant and married right away." He
explained. He had a point there. With the behavior of the chubby King of the Demonic Snakes, it's hard to
imagine that he wouldn't do that . Because he's so nervous. "What if Keiâ€"kwanan and I don't become one?
What if it's with another man?" He frowned. "Keiâ€"what?" "Kwanan." His forehead furrowed even more and he
was already gaping. It was obvious he couldn't understand what I was saying. "What does it mean?" He asked.
"It's a pronoun." Ci-N suddenly interjected while still holding up a finger that you thought was a trivia giver. "It's
often used to replace the name of a person, thing or animal. For example; Kwanan's breath stinks. That is,
Calixâ€"." He couldn't continue explaining because a notebook hit him on the head. The hit was solid, it was
obvious that he was really the target. "Ouch." He whispered as he scratched the part of his head that was hit.
"I got it." David said while smiling. "What's with the pronoun?" "Nothing." I answered while playing with the
ribbon in the box. I heard his soft laughter so I just made it difficult for him. Our conversation was getting
urther away. It should be here, it looked like he had already left the room. "What I was asking?" "You can't get
pregnant." He quickly answered, immediately explaining my face. "Especially if I'm your boyfriend." I quickly
glared at him. Our conversation was serious , but here he was, thinking of something silly again. His
mischievous smile spread. "Can I fuck you?" I asked sarcastically. His answer was just a laugh. Suddenly, Ci-
N appeared in front of us. Her eyes widened as she looked back and forth between David and me. It was like I
knew what was coming next. "Keifer! David is being groomed by Jay-jay!" She shouted so quickly that I almost
couldn't understand the words. She just reported their King. David and I turned around almost at the same
time . She raised one eyebrow as she looked at us with a wicked look. I greeted her with a raised eyebrow.
What if I got married? Well, I think there are many women in London. That's not a bad thing. Honey just didn't
want to admit it to me when I greeted the King of the Snakes with her. I just wanted to. I wanted to repay the
pest Keiâ€" this is enough. I also wanted to know how he would react. I also wanted to know what was true. I
aced David and held both of our cheeks. His eyes literally widened in shock. "Okay, you're my boyfriend as
long as I don't get pregnant early." I said and he blinked. "I'll have coffee." "We have plenty of bread." "Just
cremation, you probably won't recognize his face if you put him in a coffin." I heard the Cobras talking. I knew
they were watching and their topic was no different from mine. Talk about death! "What? Do you agree?" I
asked David seriously. I saw him swallow. His face was already covered in sweat, as if his life was at stake.
"Hello? This is Keifer Watson." I heard the King of Cobras say . "I would like to speak to the Head of Braselton
Family." Braselton Family? His family? David suddenly removed my hands from his face. It was as if I had a
contagious disease. I almost cursed when I noticed his paleness. "I value our friendship, but I don't wanna die
early." He said and suddenly stood up with his cellphone. He almost ran outside while calling someone on his
cellphone. I just blinked as I followed him with my gaze. What's up? "Thank you. Maybe some other times."
Said the annoying, whiny demon Keiâ€"kwanan who was already next to me. I simply looked at him. He pressed
something on his cellphone before putting it in his pocket. He leaned closer to me. "I never said you're allowed
to look for a new boyfriend." "Who are you to ask for my permission?" He came closer so I moved away.
"Remember? Before I leave, I marked you." I just blinked. I didn't understand anything he said. What mark? Isn't
that him? Mark Kwunan. "I don't understand anything you're saying." He grinned arrogantly again. "Would you
like me to refresh your memory?" He asked and brought his lips closer to mine. I quickly moved away but that
caused me to fall off the chair. My hip fell while one leg was left on the bench. "Animal... That hurts." I said as I
slowly got up but was stopped by someone's whistle. "Such a wonderful view." Said the bright-tongued,
chubby animal that was the traitorous pest demon King of Snakes while extending his hand to me to hopefully
help me. My legs were exposed to him. My cycling shorts were only short so my smoothâ€"yes, smooth, thighs
were clearly visible. The hilod was worth it. I quickly shook his hand off and immediately stood up even
though my hip was aching . I adjusted my skirt and clothes before pushing him. "You bastard!" "That's a
compliment." He said and closed his eyes for a moment as if he thought of something. "I forgot, you're not
used to compliment." His annoying smile peeked out again. It felt like a vein in my head was about to burst
because of his anger at him. I immediately raised my fist to punch him but I stopped myself because I knew
he would avoid it. I just grabbed a stool and was about to hit him but the snakes suddenly stopped. "Hey! Jay!"
"Jay-jay!" "Oy! Stop!" They shouted almost simultaneously as they approached me. Felix and Edrix quickly
grabbed the stool. Denzel and Eren also stopped. Ci-N grabbed me from behind. "Just relax!" Felix shouted
while trying to grab the stool. I didn't have any plans to stop him, but Sir Alvin entered the room. David
ollowed him, wiping his sweat. "Get ready." Sir opened his mouth, looking like he wasn't in the mood to joke. I
was also not in the mood. I was reported. I was forced to return to my seat and give the bench to these
Ulopongs . Sir first arranged for attendance. I briefly looked back when I heard the faint laughter of the lukos. I
stopped when the crazy Kei-kwanan winked at me. My response to him was rude. I adjusted my seat and
looked back at the front. But because the box in front of me was distracting, I couldn't help but think about
opening it. That's why Sir Alvin might get angry so I just put it aside for now. Attendance was about to begin
when Yuri suddenly entered the door. His uniform was sweaty and wrinkled. He apologized to Sir before going
to his seat. He smiled at me so I did the same but I couldn't help but notice the blood stain on his jaw. I just
ollowed his gaze. I was about to point out the blood to him but Kei- kwanan had already gotten ahead of me.
What happened? I couldn't help but be nervous. I knew he wouldn't tell me what was happening to him again.
As time went on, my hunch didn't get any better. Even though class had started, Yuri was still on my mind. And
when Sir finished teaching, he was still the one I was worried about. "Mariano." Sir Alvin called me. "S-sir?" I
answered a little surprised. "I'll talk to you." He said and walked outside. Ci-N and I looked at each other before
ollowing Sir Alvin. When we got outside, he had already stopped and was obviously the only one waiting for
me. "Why?" "Help Watson review. Just get the other lesson from my tableâ€"." "I don't want to!" I quickly
objected. He was really ordering me. There was no 'can you'. He just said 'help me' right away. He had a plan!
He had a plan! Sir's eyebrows immediately crossed. "I'm ordering you." I shook my head even though there
was a threat in his voice. I was ready to obey, as long as it had nothing to do with that slur. "You really don't
want to?" He asked again. I shook my head again. He sighed before pulling out his cellphone from his pocket
and pressing it. He pressed the one he was holding to his ear and I almost screamed when I heard the name
of the person he was calling. "Angelo...yes. This is Jay-jay. He doesn't want to follow my orders." He said. He
sounded like a child! He really complained! "What can I say? He'll hit you." Sir said while looking at me. "He has
a strong palate." I held my head. "You'll shave his eyebrows." I held my eyebrows. "You'll spank him." I held my
butt. Come on! Someone else was spanking me. "S-sir. I'll be right next." I grabbed his attention. His
mischievous smile couldn't escape my eyes and quickly disappeared. "Okay, Angelo. I'll take care of it." He
said before ending the call and facing me. "Just get it from the faculty office, before you go home. You take
care of him." I could only answer with a curt nod before he completely left. If I could just see my face, I'd
probably be blushing with anger. "You're an animal,
