A/N: By the way, a reminder to everyone. Someone told me that someone was imitating Jay-jay and always swearing. Please! Don't! No Keifer will kiss you. There's a mother who will slap you.

Jay-jay's POV
"Jay-jay." Someone called. "Wake up." I forced my eyes open and the open window appeared to me. It was still dark outside, so I didn't understand why they were waking me up. "Wake up. Let's watch the sunrise." Ci-N said excitedly. "Then we'll go home." Of course. Before we went inside to sleep, we discussed watching the sunrise before we went home. We all agreed because our next outing might take a while. I forced myself to get up. Keiâ€"kwanan appeared, wiping his face with a towel. Did he sleep here? "Get up! I'll wake the others up." Ci said with a smile before leaving the room. I got up as he ordered. I glared at the King of Cobras. He innocently raised his eyebrows at me. "Did you sleep here?" My voice was ï¬lled with a hint of threat. "No. I just washed here." He replied, calming me down. I immediately stood up to get ready. I immediately locked the bathroom door as I entered. I washed and got ready. I also changed my clothes. I stared at the remaining clothes for a moment. What will these be like when we leave? There is no one else on the island so no one will use them or be able to give them to me. Should I take it home? After getting ready, I left the bathroom and bedroom. I was busy pinning my hair while going down the stairs. The Ulopongs were making a commotion. Felix, David, Eman, and Yuri were hurrying to get the others. Ci-N was in and out of the door, obviously very excited. "Come on! The sky is already light!" The Little Kumag said excitedly. Kit was ï¬dgeting while trying to wake up Mayo who was next to him. Eren immediately looked for his cellphone. Blaster was about to go back to sleep but Eman hit him with a pillow. Drew had already gotten up and went ahead of Josh to the bathroom. "Can we have coffee ï¬rst?" Calix asked after stretching. "It's late. Go wash up, quickly!" Eman hurried. Everyone was forced to get up and line up to go to the bathroom. The others went upstairs, Eren dragged Kit to the back where there was a aucet. Mayo and Denzel followed them. "Good morning." Yuri greeted me while smiling. "Good morning too. Did you sleep yet?" I asked him. We also returned home late to sleep. Then the rest of them stayed behind to ï¬nish talking and ï¬nish the remaining alcohol. "3 hours. Then I woke up because of Ci-N." He answered and yawned. That one really excited me. I just shook my head before saying goodbye to him and leaving the house ï¬rst. I saw Ci-N walking back and forth on the beach and on the terrace of the house. True to what he said, the sky was starting to get light. I didn't notice the time earlier but I guessed it was around 5 in the morning. "There it is! There it is! We won't see it!" He shouted as if he was very troubled. "Here it is..." Felix's lifeless answer as he left the house. The other Ulopongs were following him, obviously forced to join him. I wanted to punch them because of their looks. They had the courage to agree, but now it seemed like they didn't want to continue. "Let's go to the cliff." Kei-kwanan said and led the way. We all followed him until we reached the big rock where he slipped. We climbed one by one just to reach the top. I was almost at the top when Yuri offered me his hand to help me. I accepted it and I climbed faster. Since the top of the rock was uneven, we each took a position where we would be comfortable. The sky was getting brighter. Ci-N was at the far end of the rock. While I was at the far end next to Kei-kwanan. He yawned for a moment so I looked at him. He met my gaze when he noticed I was looking. He smiled and then winked. My answer to him was a bit harsh. It was early morning! Be quiet there! "My morning is better now, coz I know you're just by my side." He said and suddenly I heard someone vomiting. "How corny!" "I'm vomiting!" "Boy, are you pregnant?" "Stupid! Do I have a mistress?" "Ladies and gentlemen, this is an example of a person who forgot to eat breakfast." Yuri let out a sigh and the Ulopongs laughed. Kei-kwanan picked up a small stone and threw it at Yuri. He didn't even look at it and just laughed while shaking his head. "There you go!" Ci-N shouted so we all looked in front. The sun king was peeking in. We moved a little closer to get a better look. That's all I could do when the light and darkness mixed. But the light quickly prevailed because of the sun's rays. I couldn't help but be amazed at how the sky's color was showing off even more. I looked at the Ulopongs and they were all amazed too except for one. The shameless King of the Ulopongs was looking at me . I motioned for him to look in front but he just reached out to hold my hand. "I love you." He said without a voice coming out. It felt like someone kicked my heart and started to lose control. It was a good thing all the Vultures in front were watching. I tried to grab my hand but the snake just laughed at me. When I got annoyed, I was going to hit him on the rocks. I blinked for a moment when the sun's rays hit me. I blocked one of my hands from my face to cover the light but Kei's wide handâ€"it was enough to do that for me so I turned around to look at him. His serious look but his speaking eyes greeted me. "Fall!" They shouted but I couldn't see what they did because of the light blocking it or better to say because I couldn't take my eyes off this snake. Until I heard them shouting and hitting the water. "For the economy!" One. "I love you Mica!" Two. "More debt!" Three. "I love you, Friend!" Four. "Your head is broken, Rory!" Five. "Kit and Mayo! Forever!" Six. "No forever!" Seven. "I want a mermaid girlfriend!" Eight. "Whale for Eren!" Nine. "I'm going home, Edy!" Ten. "More sleep!" Eleven. "I hope I get a girlfriend!" Twelve. "Grace and our Baby!" Thirteen. "More foods!" Fourteen. "Wait for me Hahaoya!" Fifteen. There's nothing left. It's just the two of us and the King of the Snakes and we're still staring at each other. I know we should follow those Snakes because they'll wonder why it took us so long. "Keiâ€"." "I'll bet all my wealth, as long as you're the ï¬rst I see when I wake up in the morning." He said even though his tongue almost twisted from the shaking. Me too, but I don't have any wealth. "K-keiferâ€"." He suddenly smiled, stopping me. I also saw the twinkle in his eyes and tears slowly falling. I wanted to ask why when I was just mentioning his name. "Why does my name sound so lovely when it comes from your lips?" He asked. Whut? Before I could even say a word, both of his hands were on both of my cheeks. And his lips quickly pressed against mine . I don't know why but I felt excited. It was like something I had been looking for for a long time and now it was in front of me. My arms spontaneously hugged him. Following my closing my eyes and letting go of his kiss. The wind blew hard, blowing a few strands of my hair. And because of the wind, I felt cold water on my cheeks. Tears? Tears but not from Keifer, but from....me. My heart beat faster and more deafeningly. My chest was tightening and all sorts of things were going through my mind. I didn't know what was the right thing to do, all I knew was that I would have a hard time letting go. I'm holding the person I love, the person I've been waiting for so long but why do I feel scared? I don't know how long we've been hugging each other , all I know is that time is ours and we're the ones holding each other. When he pulled away, he pressed our foreheads together. I was still closed and holding back tears. "Let me keep you." He whispered. I tried to ï¬nd the right words to answer him. A big part of me wanted to scream but the ear and apprehension wouldn't go away. I couldn't think of anything else to answer. "I-you idiot." The only thing that came out of my mouth. I heard his soft laughter. He was about to answer but we heard his fellow Ulopongs calling out. "Hey! Let's fall!" "What are you doing there?" "Let's fall Jay-jay!" He let go of me and wiped his face. He sighed loudly but that was followed by a smile. "They're looking for us." He said and walked closer to the end of the rock. "Keifer! Jump!" "Let's go here!" Kâ€"Keifer waved at them before looking at me. Keifer. What's my reason for not wanting to mention his name? Because every time I hear or mention it, my heart skips a beat. I still have feelings but now I'm not afraid to say his real name. "I'll wait for you." He told me before adjusting his position. "I love you Jasper Jean!" He shouted before jumping. I walked closer to the end of the rock. I immediately saw the Snakes while looking up at me. They waved at me so I waved back. I can jump. I did it the other day when that snake fell but I stopped when I saw him with the Snakes. Why does my heart feel like it's going to explode? I know it was wrong for me to give in. It was wrong for me to respond to his kiss but I willingly give up when I see him struggling. He's so fragile too! I looked at where I was about to fall. I took a deep breath and looked at the king sun. "Don't be fragile!" I screamed with all my might and jumped. I felt myself hit the water. Someone immediately pulled me up to breathe. I wiped my face to open my eyes and they screamed loudly at me. "Nice one!" Eman teased. "It's explosive!" Eren laughed like me. "It's different!" Felix said and clapped. You guys are so cute! Their teasing turned into loud laughter. We soaked or a few minutes before going up because we were hungry. We hadn't even had breakfast yet. We couldn't stop talking while walking back home. "Let's come back here after graduation." Ci said. "You like it every summer." I answered and she clapped happily. When I got back home, I went straight to the bathroom to take a shower and get ready. I acted quickly because I knew we were leaving the island and I still needed to organize my things. I put back on my uniform that I wore when I came here. Keifer did the laundry for me using the washing machine. There is a laundry area downstairs next to the faucet. I feel ashamed of leaving things here. Even though I don't own them, it's still a waste. When I came out of the bathroom, I looked at my bag on the bed. Next to it was the box I got on Friday that contained a Snorlax cup. Also next to it was my cellphone and some notes that we used for the review . Also my different socks. I took my cellphone ï¬rst and opened it. That's how scared I was when text messages came in one after another. I had a strong feeling that the messages were from someone pretending to be an angel. Should I write a farewell letter? When my cellphone stopped ringing incessantly, I just checked the messages. Kuya had the most with 529. Jay Aries was next with 413. There were 12 from Tita Gema and the rest were from the Ulopong and networks who diligently worry about expiration and load. I opened some of Kuya's messages. From: Kuya Angelo Messages: Where the fvck are you? From : Kuya Angelo Messages: Are you ignoring my messages? From: Kuya Angelo Messages: I can't reach your phone. Call me when you get my messages. From: Kuya Angelo Messages: JASPER JEAN! IT'S 12 MIDNIGHT! From: Kuya Angelo Messages: JASPER JEAN!!! I'M ABOUT TO LOSE MY TEMPER NOW! From: Kuya Angelo Messages: TELL KEIFER THAT HE'S DEAD!! From: Kuya Angelo Messages: NO! YOU'RE BOTH DEAD!! Most of his subsequent texts were full of threats and big letters. I felt like I wanted to start crying. I just lay down on the bed after the beating. It's not my fault. Why me? I didn't want to end up on this island. If I had known, I wouldn't have drunk that water. What's the point of this island if I'm going to die early. Maybe I can trade my life for the island? I'll tell Kuya that my island is his, just don't hurt me. But of course he won't allow that and I don't want to lose this island either. I'll have somewhere to run and hide when Kuya's big shot goes off. I don't know how to deal with him. I'll get a really strong sermon . I need to think of a counter attack right away. I have an island! You don't have one! Lines like that. I don't know if Kuya Angelo hasn't slapped me out of anger. Next, I opened Aries' messages, which were the most followed. From: Horoscope Messages: Who are you with? From: Horoscope Messages: Don't go with Percy. I frowned for a moment because of his text about Percy. I suddenly thought that maybe this had something to do with Papa's return home. Does that mean Aries knows too? I suddenly remembered the ï¬rst time Papa and I met during the school tour we did at a University. Papa knew him and spoke to him as if they had known each other for a long time. I couldn't help but be suspicious. Are they starting to fool me again? I'll be the one left in the dark again.I looked at the rest of his messages, which made me frown even more . From: Horoscope Messages: No matter what he says against me, I have an explanation about it. From: Horoscope Messages: I have lots of things to explain. Don't make an assumption. I bit my thumb nail. He's hiding something from me and he's afraid Percy will ï¬nd out. He also knows I have other things on my mind. But what about? It's like I really need to get home so I can talk to him. I quickly organized my things. I put everything in my bag and carried it out of the room. I quickly walked down the stairs. "Breakfast ï¬rst, Jay!" Eman shouted from the kitchen. My stomach was growling just right. Aries could wait, but the food couldn't. I put the bag down on the sofa and approached them. Since there was no place to sit , the others stood while eating. "Hey! Who got the ham?" Rory shouted angrily. "Look for Friend! You're a slut!" Edrix replied annoyed but the other one just laughed loudly. "Fried rice!" Ci said while handing the plate to Eman. "How many more are you going to give me?" Felix said while following the rice he was spooning with his eyes. "That's your third!" Eren replied. "Only two!" Ci corrected but it was obvious that no one believed him. I simply took the plate and handed it to Eman. It was as if we were asking for a ration from our looks. When the plate was returned to me, Felix and Ci-N laughed loudly. My plate was full of rice as if I wouldn't do it again. I glared at Eman who was grinning mischievously again. He was obviously very happy with his nonsense. He was deliberately shameless. "There's so much!" I complained. "You're still pretending. You really ate that much." Eman continued to tease. "Where do I put the dish?" I asked annoyed. Felix and I laughed even harder when the other Ulopongs looked at us. "You're so scary!" "Are you going to hang yourself?" "So there's no turning back!" I looked at them annoyed. When the shameless ones really get a chance, they don't stop teasing me. "Your clock. Just a minute for Jay-jay." Yuri ordered Felix and the betting began. Some bet for 5 minutes, some for 10 minutes and the longest was 15 minutes. They really didn't let me eat until the conversation was over and the time had not started. No one won because it took me 7 minutes to ï¬nish my food. I did that on purpose because I was so full of them. We ï¬nished eating breakfast quickly. Denzel, Drew and Blaster were assigned to wash the dishes. When they were done, I only noticed that Kei-keifer was not there. I was about to ask when Ci-N came out. "Keifer is here!" He said. We walked out one by one. The King of Snakes pointed to the same path where his fellow Snakes had come from yesterday. I approached him to talk to him. "How is this house and the things inside?" "Someone is coming here to ï¬x all that." He replied and smiled. He was about to grab my hand but I immediately walked after David who was behind. "Seriously? Until now?" He asked but I ignored him. I looked at David when I heard his soft laughter. I looked at him and he shook his head slightly. "You're laughing." "How long are you planning to threaten him like this?" He asked in a whisper. "I don't know. Why?" "I'm just going to make popcorn while watching him suffer." He replied and we laughed slightly. I simply looked at the King of Snakes and that's how surprised I was when I saw him looking at us evilly. But instead of being scared, I just laughed. We walked a long way until I saw the Kumag yacht that they said they used to get here. I blinked at the beauty and size of the yacht . Then Eren said that his girlfriends I slapped him before doing that. I was already so angry at the jokes that greeted me with laughter. I was even more annoyed by them. I chose to stay silent in a corner. I didn't realize that I had fallen asleep but I felt someone pick me up and put me on the soft bed. "Sweet dreams my Queen."
