Chapter-335

Red

Jay-jay's POV

"It's been a while!" Aries called
rom my bedroom door. "That's it, it's over." I answered annoyed. He turned around and walked out first. I
ollowed him with a frown. If only he hadn't asked me to open the gate last night, I would have answered him
earlier . I don't know if he believed my excuse that I bought something outside without anyone knowing so he
locked me in. He just lectured me that what I did wasn't safe. I also said not to forget that someone is still
trying to get into my life. I just nodded so it wouldn't take too long. I met Tita with a cup of coffee when I got to
the living room. She smiled at me before putting down the cup and greeted me with a hug. I immediately
accepted it. "Be careful, okay? Always text Kuya Angelo and Aries when you're going somewhere." She ordered
and I smiled. "Yes." She let go of the hug and fixed my hair. "Maybe you can also apologize to Keifer. I was just
filled with anger and worry ." "Okay. I know he'll understand that." I replied and he smiled. I said goodbye to her
because I knew my brother's eyebrows were already raised while waiting for me. I breathed a sigh of relief at
Tita's words. I thought she really felt bad for Keifer and that she also had other thoughts about what the
mokong did to me on the island. She didn't do anything. Nothing. I got into my brother's car.I almost jumped
when I saw his frown. "You're in the back. We'll pick up Ella." He ordered. "Why? Doesn't he have legs to walk
in?" I asked annoyed. His eyes widened in anger so I quickly got out of the car and moved to the back. I glared
at him one after another out of annoyance. If only I had the ability to curse, I would curse Ella and him. I wish
their assholes would close. I was silent the entire trip until we reached his raw boyfriend's house . I just
winced when I smelled his perfume. When he sat down, he immediately kissed Aries on the cheek. Eww.
"Good morning Jay." He forced a greeting at me. "Good morning." I had no lifeless answer. "Why wasn't your
entire section there yesterday?" He asked me and my eyebrows almost raised. "We were outing." Keifer gave
me an island. Ha. Ha. You're jealous.
"It's Monday, and you're thinking of going out."
I heard Aries cough slightly. Our eyes met
in the rearview mirror and it was as if he was warning me not to start a
fight.
I felt embarrassed. "It's the weekend, really. We just didn't get back right away."
"I see." He replied and neither of us spoke again.
I cursed one after another in my mind. I was really fed up with
this woman. And what did she care if we didn't go in yesterday.
Maybe she was waiting for someone.
I sighed! My vision seemed to be getting darker. I felt like I wanted to slap her.
Who is waiting for those chubby Ulopongs?
There's only one thing I can think of that this woman is waiting for! The King of the
Ulopongs.
Aries' car stopped in the school parking lot. We got out almost at the same time
. I immediately noticed Ella looking at the fancy
car next to Aries' car.
I knew she knew who the owner was. I
looked at her sharply. And when he saw what I was doing, he gave me a hard time
before chasing after Aries and grabbing his arm.
I couldn't help but be irritated by his behavior.
He said he loved Aries and he also said he didn't love Keifer because
he wanted Yuri before.
So why is he acting like this?
Don't tell him he's sorry. I was tormented by my thoughts.
I glared at the fancy car of the crazy, chubby
King of Vipers.
"This is all your fault!" I said annoyed and kicked the back of
the car.
I was about to kick him again but suddenly the car door opened
and I saw him getting out.
The owner, run! RUN!
I even outran Snatcher with the speed I ran. I was still sweating
when I got to the room. I held my hips while chasing the
air.
"Did something happen to you?" Edrix asked who had just arrived.
"I-I ran. I-I thought it was late." I made excuses and
he shook his head while laughing.
I entered the room and immediately noticed Yuri sitting on
his desk. He looked like he was asleep. I had only just seen him sleep in the
classroom. I put my things down on my table before approaching him.
I glanced at his face before touching him. He
groaned for a moment while lifting his face. His glasses fell off which
I quickly picked up.
"Stay up late." He commented before handing over his glasses.
He smiled at me. "Yeah. I did a lot last night."
"Make a baby." Someone said so I turned around.
The King of the Snakes reluctantly sat down in his place.
He even raised his eyebrows at us so I glared at him.
I wish I had just kicked him in the face.
I faced Yuri who was currently wiping his glasses while
bending over. I looked at his hair.
I only noticed now, the hair growing on his scalp was not black.
And that's when it became clear to me. Her original hair wasn't black
. I couldn't tell the real color because of her mischief.
I knew she was just dyeing her hair red. But it's impossible
or her hair roots to be colored.
"Yuri, your hair." I said and was about to touch it but
she quickly dodged.
"H-ha? Why?" She defended herself and touched her hair.
"There's dirt." Keifer growled so I looked at her.
She shook her head slightly as if she was telling me not to continue
what I was going to say. I didn't understand why but I followed anyway.
"O-yes. There's dirt." I said and forced a smile.
I turned my back on her and went back to my seat. I frowned
as I thought about what had happened.
What was wrong with Yuri's hair?
I decided to just let it happen. Sir Alvin arrived right away
and of course we were lectured for our absence yesterday.
"It would be okay if your finals weren't coming up. You won't
have any problems with your absences. But now it's dangerous because
all faculties are monitored." He explained and almost all of us
bowed.
"Sorry, Sir. We'll fix it." David said.
Sir just sighed before starting class.
Ci-N and I exchanged glances but he was clearly just teasing.
It was as if he was saying it was my fault why we couldn't
come in yesterday. I just glared at him and continued
listening to Sir.
Wow. Listening.
We spent all morning studyingâ€"supposedly.
We had to catch up on lessons so the
teachers almost dropped the lesson and just did their own thing. This is where you can measure a
true student.
When lunch came, almost none of us were standing up because of fatigue.
It seemed like I wasn't the only one who ran out of brain fluid because of the sudden
pile of lessons.
"Lunch! Jay-jay, lunch!" Ci said pleadingly.
I wanted to kick him. He was the only one with energy between the two of us.
Then he wanted me to buy his food.
"Lunch will be here in a moment." The King of the Snakes said.
It was delicious to the ears.
When I heard the word lunch, not his voice. I was interested
in his voice and his English accent.
True to what he said, our food did arrive
just a few moments ago. Buffet!
The Snakes immediately went into a commotion. It looked like there was a birthday party because of the
number of people
ready. I didn't give in and went in to get some
ood.
I was about to return to my seat when I saw Yuri come out with
her bag. I was going to follow her but Keifer did it first.
I watched them for a moment before I noticed someone taking
Shanghai from my plate.
"Hey!" I said to Ci-N but she had already taken a bite.
"Just one." She said and smiled but when I looked at my plate
she had already taken it all.
I looked at her evilly. I chose to eat while waiting
or Yuri to return. But Keifer had already returned and everyone else,
the President of the Shunga Lovers Club was still gone. Until the
afternoon class started and after that, no red hair appeared.
"Jay-jay. Let's go wandering!" The Little Kumag said.
"No way. My brother will scold me. I'm going straight home
now." I said while organizing my things.
"You can't go wandering either. You might be forgetting that there's a
threat to our lives." David reminded Ci.
"Oh, yes, of course. Thanks for reminding me, Grandpa." He replied with a smile.
I laughed a little when David frowned at him. We almost left at the same time
but I chose to stay late so I could talk to the King of
Snakes.
"Sweet. Are you waiting for me?" He opened his mouth to me when he noticed
I was waiting for him.
"Yes, I was going to ask Yuri."
The expression on his face immediately changed but it quickly changed to a
teasing smile.
"You're making me jealous."
I gave him a fake smile. "I'm so embarrassed for you."
"What?" He asked in surprise.
I shook my head. He didn't know what I was thinking about Ella and
Freya. It was also better for him not to know because it might boost
his self-confidence.
He would tease me again.
"I just want to know where he went? It's not his
job to cut class."
"I cut class too but you didn't worry." He said and
my nostrils almost widened in annoyance.
"This is serious."
"I am serious. Don't meddle yourself in Yuri's businesses....please.
I might not be able to handle it if you found out what he's doing."
He said and grabbed my hand.
"That's not okay. Yuri is my friend. He's always there
or me so I can't turn my back on him." I said and pulled
my hand back.
"You don't get it Jay." There was a hint of threat in his voice. "Yuri
is the most mysterious guy that I know. What you see right now is only
half of what I know. Yet, I still don't know the real him."
He explained.
I couldn't help but feel annoyed. Why do I feel like
he's ruining Yuri for me? He wants me to avoid the person who never
tired of wiping my tears during the times he wasn't around.
"You're so stupid. That's your friend too!"
"He is. He is my bestfriend to be exact but he will ask for my help if
he needs it." He took a deep breath. "Don't force it, please."
A tear fell on its own. I was annoyed because
I felt like he had no intention of doing anything to help his friend.
Yuri needs help. That's what I can see because he's been giving up
right in front of me a few times.
"Okay, so you can be quiet. I'll talk to him." He said and
held both of my hands. "I was worried too but
Yuri is a man and he's not a baby either."
I nodded. "S-okay. Thank you."
He forced a smile. He was about to hug me but I immediately
moved away.
"We're not that good yet..." I said almost in a whisper.
"What?" He asked.
"Okay."
He nodded. "I see." He smiled sweetly. "I'll work hard
or your forgiveness."
It was hard to believe that Keifer, who I often yelled at and used to be, was here in front of me and saying that
my forgiveness
would be hard to work for . NO SMILING! NO SINGING! We walked almost together to the parking lot. I could
clearly see Aries and Ella waiting for me next to the car. I approached them but before the King of the Snakes
could even pass our spot, he suddenly kissed me on the forehead and continued walking towards his car.
"You're crazy!" I shouted but his car had already left. I looked at Aries as if I was a very bad girl. While Ella was
looking at me seriously. We got into the car in silence. Even during the trip, we were silent. The car stopped for
a moment because of the traffic light. I looked across the street to where the cars crossing in front of me
were coming from. Their traffic light turned red. It was our turn to cross but for some reason I couldn't
understand, a car drove in front of Aries' car. Ella screamed and I bounced like a ball from where I was sitting.
Aries' car flipped over and blocked the middle of the road because the impact was so strong. I held my head
because of the sudden pain. People panicked and other cars quickly honked their horns. "Is everyone okay?"
Aries asked worriedly. "I'm okay." Ella said. Before I could answer, I heard a loud knock on Aries' car door.
When I looked up, I saw Keifer, who was worried . He gestured for the door lock. Aries immediately unlocked
the door and quickly opened the door next to me. "Are you okay?" He opened it for me. I was still holding my
head. "I-it hurts." He immediately lifted me out of the car. I suddenly became dizzy and felt dizzy. "Where are
you taking Jay-jay?" Aries shouted but Keifer ignored him. "David! Help him get the car out of the way!" He said
but I couldn't see who he was talking to. David was here too? "I'm not your slave!" David complained but I felt
him leave in front of us. Keifer put me down. When I forced myself to open my eyes, I was already inside the
car but the door was open. "Here. Drink this." He said and I accepted the water bottle. I drank some water but
immediately handed it back to him. I leaned my head against the backrest. I felt him staring at me. "My head
didn't hit me but it suddenly hurt." I explained. "Sshh... Just rest." He ordered and I did. I kept my eyes closed
or a few minutes until I said I was okay. I was about to stand up but Aries suddenly came to me. "Hey... Are
you okay? What's wrong with you?" He asked one after another while looking at me. "It's okayâ€"." He suddenly
hugged me. "I'll fix the driving. Just please be okay." I could feel the regret in his voice. It was a good thing, but
then he would scold me later. I hugged him too. "I'm really okay." He broke away from me and looked at me
again. He forced a smile before helping me stand up. David and Keifer were talking to the police. I looked at
the road and the parked cars. I was so surprised when I saw that David's car had a scratch and so did Keifer's
car. "What happened?" I asked and looked at Felix, Rory, Edrix and Drew who were approaching us. "How are
you Jay? Are you okay?" Felix asked and I nodded. "Tsk! This was intentional." Edrix said but Rory immediately
silenced him because the policeman turned around. I slightly approached them. "How was it intentional?"
"Three accidents in a row on the same road and then someone was following David and Keifer before they
had the accident. And another thing, they didn't intend to kill them, it's like they were just trying to scare us." He
explained. "Where did they run over? Isn't there one?" Rory added as I looked around. The vehicle that hit Aries'
car was not there. Besides, it was clear from my memory that the traffic light on the road we were taking was
now green. That means, the traffic light on the other side was now red. "Do you think Ram's group did this?" I
asked while feeling worried. Edrix nodded. "He's the only one who's looking at us with anger right now.
Besides, Ci-N and the others also texted that someone was following them." I bit my lower lip hard. It was
obvious what they were threatening us with. What's more painful is that they implicated Aries and Ella, who
had nothing to do with this mess. Aries was currently talking to the police when Kuya Angelo arrived. He
ound out what happened and couldn't hide his disappointment as he looked at me. I know, he doesn't have to
say that he also blames me for what happened. I do too. I also blame myself for why others had to be
implicated. It's my fault. "Almost everyone answered. They said they were safe and no one was following."
Felix said while holding the cellphone. "Yuri didn't reply." I was even more nervous because of what I heard.
Now that Yuri was in trouble and alone. Maybe something had happened to him. I immediately approached
Keifer who had just finished talking to the police. "Let's go see Yuri, please." I asked. There was a hint of
surprise in him but he still nodded. David spoke for a moment and she nodded back. He held my hand before
letting me get into his car. I heard Kuya Angelo calling me but I didn't listen to him. The car immediately
started to drive away. I kept biting my lip and clawing at my nails because of the fear and anxiety I felt. Yuri
was alone now, what if they managed to target her. I didn't know if it was still safe in their building. When I
arrived at the underground parking lot of their building, I didn't wait for Keifer. I immediately got off and went
straight to the elevator. I pressed the top floor button. It didn't want to start at first so I looked for the camera
inside. I waved and showed my uniform. I knew they still had identification or something but once Yuri said
that I was on the list so I went back and forth without any problem. The elevator started to go up. I waited a
ew minutes before arriving at Yuri's house. No one greeted me and it seemed like there was no one inside
because it was dark and quiet. I immediately walked inside and thought carefully about where her room was. I
was about to turn into a hallway when I met an unexpected person. Freya... I immediately looked at her
uniform that was out of order. Besides that, she also didn't have underwear. "W-what are you doing here?" I
asked in surprise. "I...ahm...help a friend?" She replied and smiled broadly before passing me. I didn't know if I
should still chase her but I was overcome with the urge to go to Yuri. So even though I was confused, I
continued walking. I reached her room and my eyebrows met just like that when I saw the clothes scattered
on the floor. A bra was also scattered on the floor which made me frown. I suddenly remembered Freya when I
met her. I wasn't born yesterday so I couldn't understand what was happening here. Does this mean I was just
worrying about nothing. While I was wondering if something bad had happened to her, here she was, busy on
Freya's lap. I also looked at the scattered boxes and bottles on the floor. I also saw a package with a red tag.
The bathroom door in Yuri's room opened and the reason for my coming here was revealed. He was clearly
stunned when he saw me. "J-jay." He called to me while wiping his newly colored hair. "H-I didn't know you
were coming." I faked a laugh. "I was worried about you so much, Yuri, but it's like I'm worrying about nothing."
"Did something happen?" "Yes. And there's something in your room too." He looked at the mess on the floor of
his room. He knew I had also seen the insides that Freya had left behind. He sighed . "I can explain." "Okay.
Explain. Also explain why you don't seem to be telling me the truth." I ordered calmly. He quickly looked down.
What else don't I know about you?
