Aries & Freya
Jay-jay's POV
If earlier my eyes were mischievous and looked everywhere, now they were just staring at a part of the wall in front of me and not blinking. It's bad. Don't blink. "I'm asking you." Aries asked calmly but with an insistent question. I simply looked at him and met his evil gaze. I almost turned to stone. "Is this a text from a sensible person? Are you a person?" He asked irritably. I nodded shyly and couldn't bear to blink anymore. I was confused by his attitude. My text message was ï¬ne even though they didn't understand it but here he is and he's really angry with me. "What country are you from? I don't think these words are from earth." He lectured and even showed me the screen of his cellphone where my message was. "Are you an alien? Are you an alien?" I shook my head and bowed. His reaction to my text message was really bad. You thought the chain message I sent him was a curse but he didn't pass it on to ten people. There was no curse of fate. "By the way, you look like Kokey." He said before putting the cellphone back in his pocket. He looked at me sharply before walking away and entering Grace's room . I looked at Ci-N and Felix who were simply laughing at me. I knew they were enjoying watching my brother Horoscope scold me. I made them suffer before approaching David and leaning against the wall he was also leaning against. "Are you really angry?" He asked me. I shook my head. "Just a little. He didn't pass the chain message on to ten people, he was afraid of being cursed." He laughed a little. "Does he believe that?" I pouted before nodding. " That's right. He's a fortune teller ." His soft laughter became loud. He shook his head as if my joke was selling to him. If this person didn't like anyone else, I would think he had a crush on me. That's a good thing. "Kokey..." Ci whispered while laughing. I looked at him and I was just as annoyed when I noticed their teasing faces. Eren, Felix, and Rory were also laughing with him. "What's your problem?" I asked annoyed. "You look like Kokey?" Felix said and laughed. I roughly pulled my hair back. "Yes, I look like Kokey. I look like an artist. It's annoying!" Their laughter became louder. David and the other Ulopongs near us were also laughing . I couldn't help but get annoyed. It was as if I had been tripped again without knowing it. "Do you know what Kokey looks like?" David asked. I shook my head. "What I was thinking was that she was beautiful, she was an actress." Their laughter got louder. They almost rolled on the floor because they were so happy. David took his cellphone and was tapping away. He laughed even harder before showing me the screen of his cellphone. The noseless, bald kid with strange eyes appeared before me. I stared at him for a while before it became clear to me....he was an Alien. "Who is that?" I asked. "That's Kokey." He replied. What? Does that look like me? "Seriously? Is that Kokey?" I asked with annoyance. I didn't know if they were just teasing me or if it was true, I couldn't accept that I looked like him. No offense Kokey. "Learn to use Google Jay." David said after him before hiding the cellphone again. My eyebrows furrowed in anger. I couldn't believe that my Horoscope brother had deceived me for so long. She's still reading fortunes and then she's fooling me, how can she sell her? That's Putarages! I immediately went to Grace's room door. I waited with my arms crossed for that tukmol to come out. "Jay?" Keifer called me. "Whaaat?" I answered softly. "What are you doing?" "I'm waiting for my fortune-telling brother." He laughed a little. "Should I expect a war?" "Watch out for boxing!" I answered annoyed. It didn't take long for the door to the room to open. Aries and Ella were about to come out but they stopped when they saw us. My brother looked at me with a mixture of annoyance even though there was a trace of surprise. I immediately noticed Ella looking at the King of Snakes. It's a good thing she immediately looked away when she felt my evil gaze. "Let's go home." "Let's talk ï¬rst!" I answered annoyed to Horoscope. "What's up?" "You told me I look like Kokey!!" I hissed. " Kokey is an alien!" They suddenly laughed out loud. Even the chubby demon King of the Snakes laughed out loud. I was so relieved that he was shameless. I gave him a hard time for a moment before facing my sister again. "Don't you watch TV? Even if you didn't catch that in grade school, you know that." Ella said while shaking her head. "I don't watch dramas!" I answered annoyed. I only watched anime in the afternoon. "Don't you want to look like someone famous. You should be proud." Aries teased. My nostrils quickly widened. I almost burst into flames because of my anger. I have to admit, I was also proud until I ound out what Kokey looked like and that he was an Alien wearing a red hood. "You're so mean!" I cried out tearfully. They still laughed at me even though I was so annoyed. They were still happy to watch me cry. "At least your looks are out of this world." The shameless Keifer added and I was even more annoyed. "I'll call you Miss Universe." "Miss Universe!" I complained and was about to kick him but he had already walked away. I wasn't happy with their pant-trip with me. They even helped each other. Just as I was about to cry, my brother's cellphone rang . He answered it and looked at me for a moment before speaking. "Yes, we're going home too. He's with me." He said and said goodbye before hanging up the call. "Brother is sending us home." Should I have a room prepared at the hospital? "I-I'm just saying goodbye to Grace." I said and they stepped aside so I could enter. Grace and Denzel were next to each other while talking. Baby Grazel Jay was in the hospital crib. I approached them to say goodbye. "We're going to bed. Death is calling." I said and Grace quickly grimaced. Denzel laughed while shaking her head. "Jay, don't teach Grazel that kind of language, please." "It'll be a long time before he learns." I approached Grazel and smiled. "Godmother is home. I'll visit you again." She was sleeping soundly. She looked like a doll wrapped in a blanket. She was so comfortable to put in my bag and take home. I'm sure she'll ï¬t in my bag because it has a lot of space. No one will notice what's inside. Next time I'll run away from her. I faced the couple again and said goodbye before turning my back on them. When I came out, Keifer was the only one waiting for me. "They will wait for you at the parking lot." He said. I nodded before walking away. I also said goodbye to the Ulopong. David was still shaking his head while laughing so I glared at him before ï¬nally leaving. The King was just following me. I couldn't rest while inside the elevator. There were only two of us and I couldn't help but remember the events related to the elevator. Maybe laterâ€" Suddenly, someone grabbed me. "Don't touch me!" I shouted and quickly kicked up. The people who were about to enter the elevator immediately screamed. Nurse, Doctor and patient all ran away from me. I immediately put my foot down and looked for Keifer who was huddled in the corner of the elevator just to avoid my kick. "W-why are you grabbing me?" I asked softly. "Here we go, let's get out." He replied while pointing outside the elevator. There was no one. I hesitantly smiled at those waiting for us to get out. I weakly apologized while walking in front of them. When I passed them, I quickened my pace and almost ran out of the hospital. I heard the soft laughter of shameless laughter from the behind me. I faced him and was about to hit him but he immediately blocked my hand. "You're so happy, right? It's your fault but I'm the one who got embarrassed!" I shouted at him. "I just hit you. You're too tense." He replied angrily . I widened my eyes at him. "Why are you so upset?! You could have called me!" "I called your name but you're too busy." "Because!" "What?" I thought for a moment. I ran out of answers to him. Think! "Because I have a lot to think about!" I replied and immediately turned my back on him. I kept walking towards the parking lot. Every now and then I confronted the stupid King because of his simple teasing. I almost stepped on him because of my annoyance. Until we reached the parking lot, he still didn't stop me. I even planned to take off my bag and hit him. I pointed at him one last time but before I could get away he suddenly got serious and grabbed me to the side of a black Hiace. I was about to yell at him but he covered my mouth and gestured or silence. I glared at him threateningly. I was stunned when I heard Ella's voice. "Isn't it true? That's why you can't answer!" He said angrily. "I answered your question about Freya and me a long time ago! I have nothing to say or to explain!" My sister replied angrily. LQ looked very serious. I couldn't help but listen to their issue. This was the only time I saw them ï¬ghting. I think I should buy popcorn ï¬rst. Can I video it? "Why don't you tell me what you talked about earlier?" "Ella! Understand the word respect! What we've talked about is a personal matter to Freya! It would be rude if I told anyone else after she trusted me!" Aries replied angrily. "I'm not just another person to you! Why can't you trust me?!" "This isn't about my trust in you but respect to Freya's privacy. I guess I should be the one to ask you that." My sister Horoscope answered calmly but with emphasis. I have to admit that I agree with what she said. If you really can't ï¬nd out, don't force it. "Can you blame me? All our classmates notice your attention to Freya. Then they even bring up the fact that you're exes ." "We're just going around and around. Am I going to repeat myself? We weren't together! Whatever rumors that spread about us, is not true!" I looked at Keifer questioningly but he seemed confused by what he heard. I really thought they were because Rakki said she caught the two of them in the room before and then Freya said that her friends were passing her around. "Okay, you're not! But why are you still like that with her? Why do you seem to worry about her so much? Why do you worry about her as if she were your girlfriend?" Ella said with a touch of pity. Aries sighed loudly. "Freya. Is. Nothing. But. A. Friend." He answered slowly. I didn't hear anyone speak to them. The King of Snakes and I peeked in almost at the same time. The two were gone, so we were able to come out of hiding. I immediately faced my companion. "They didn't become a couple?" "I don't know." He moved away slightly because of my approach. "As far as I know they became a couple." But my sister's Horoscope denied it. He could have also denied it just to silence his raw boyfriend. But it wasn't his habit to cover his own nonsense with another lie. If he was telling the truth, what did Rakki see in them before? Prank? "Whatever you're thinking don't act impulsively." Keifer said and when I looked at him, his eyebrows met as if accusing me. "I'm not thinking of doing anything!" I replied with a grin. I just walked and looked for my dramatic sister's car. I must have driven a few laps in the parking lot before I found her car. The two were waiting and obviously still had an LQ. I said goodbye to the plump Ulopong for a moment before running towards the two. We immediately got in so we could leave. During the trip, it was like there was a 'no noise, the loser has a headache' contest because the two were sobbing so much. I couldn't stand their silence and my stomach felt like it was boiling. I wanted to fart. I felt like I was in the contest. Is there a prize? Until we dropped Ella off at their house, nothing had happened. She had already entered their house but Aries was still like that. I didn't even think of asking any questions except that Aries took out his cellphone and called someone. "Are you home yet? Get some rest and don't do anything that will harm you." He said to the person he was talking to. He had a girlfriend!! I covered my mouth while looking at him in shock. I waited for their conversation to end. When he hung up his cell phone, I brought my face closer to his. "You're a traitor!" I shouted and he immediately moved away. "What the fvck?!" He replied angrily. I immediately moved to the seat next to him. I didn't even get out of the car to do that. I just squeezed between the two seats. "You already have Ella and you're calling someone new! Traitor! Blasphemy! Talipandas!" I pointed at him in the ace. "What? Where did you get that?" He was speechless. "You're a disgrace to our raceâ€"!" He suddenly snapped at me. "Oh no!" "I don't understand what you're saying!" I held the back of my neck while crying and looking at him. "You're a fool! You already have a boyfriend, right? Who else are you calling?" I asked annoyed. He took a deep breath to calm down. He also started the car to drive away. When I looked at him, he was looking seriously at the road. Does he really have a girlfriend? "Is that really your girlfriend? Are you a two- timer?" I asked with a hint of annoyance . "No. That was Freya. I was just making sure she was okay." He replied. "W-why? Did something happen?" I asked as if I didn't know. I should be given an award for my acting. I want the gold and I'll cry when I accept it. I want a Grammy Awardâ€" it's given to those who are good at grammar. "Something like that." "You don't look good. You're not worried like that." You're not like that to me either. I pouted at the thought. I knew he was getting back at me but there were times when I saw him treat me differently than others and I couldn't help but compare him. "It's like that." "Freya must be important to you." I said almost in a whisper. He laughed a little. "I really used to have a crush on her." I almost choked on my own saliva. He was really proud to say that in front of me. But it seemed like this was the right time to make it clear what was really going on between them. If they really were or if it was just a rumor like he said. "Did you flirt with her?" I asked, intrigued. He shook his head. "Just a crush." "Just a crush ?" I repeated. "Just a crush." He answered casually. "Just a crush?" "Just a crush." "Crush back?" "No crush back." My nostrils flared. "You didn't become friends?" He shook his head. "No." "Not really?" He thought for a moment before speaking again. "Well, almost. But I stopped because I saw the broken side of her." Whut? Almost? "How almost?" I asked, intrigued. Gossip is gossip but this is my chance to answer questions. I want clarity on what's happening to them because I'm stuck. I'M STUCK! "Well... One time we..." He coughed slightly. "We... Almost..." He seemed to struggle to say it. "You... know... when people get drunk and things turn... Something like... That leads us to a room... And we remove our clothesâ€"." "You're a bad boy, Aries!" I cut him off. He looked at me evilly for a moment. It was a good thing the car was moving, but his evil look had already melted me. I had a eeling he was referring to what Rakki had seen before. But it seemed like no one knew that it didn't work out like my brother said waiting for the stars to align. Twinkle twinkle little star. "You already know what I mean. My point is we didn't become friends." He said and I nodded. "Then you became best friends?" "Not right away. But I manage to be. That's the only way I can fulï¬ll Percy's order." I looked at him in surprise. "Percy's order?" The car stopped and he smiled at me sparingly. "Before he disappeared , he ordered his family and Freya to be ours. Sadly I can't fulï¬ll the ï¬rst one so I tried the second one." I couldn't help but feel sad at what he said. He can't get close to Felix's family so how can he follow the order of their friend with the tail of a whirlwind. "I'm not Percy, but thank you for what you did. It seems like you're the only one who fulï¬lled his order." His eyes were sad as he still had one hand on the steering wheel. "I wish I could. But seeing Freya ruining herself makes me feel that I failed." He shook his head. "Dying to be with a man that she will never have." He laughed angrily. "She almost got pregnant." My eyes widened. She almost got pregnant with Yuri? What were they doing? Aren't they thinking? And what's going on with Yuri? Why does it feel like I don't know you anymore? Or do I really not know you? "I didn't know Yuri could do such things." I said almost in a whisper. Aries looked at me. "What did you expect? Yuri is no saint." He said and opened the car door to get out. I followed him and that's when I noticed that we were already home. I was so engrossed in what we were talking about that I didn't see my surroundings. We almost went inside one after the other. I hadn't even gotten far from the door when I heard Kuya Angelo's thunderous voice. "Where the hell have you been?!" I stopped and looked at him. "And what language is that text in?! Alien?!" I knew what was going to happen next. I had to save myself. Ninja
