Chapter-12

Seenzoned

Jay-jay's POV

The feeling of not existing? I know it now. I can feel it . It's just a lie. The snakes still don't pay attention to me. It's
been a few days. It's almost one week. I'm seenzoned by these who've been bitten. Ci-N still isn't coming.
That's a lie! When called, he doesn't answer. "Class.. Tomorrow we're going to the gymnasium. Don't forget
your PE uniform." Said the PE Teacher of our former artist's name. "Yes Ma'am." My animal classmates
answered boredly. We finished with Miss Assunta and followed Miss Smith. "Go clean your room!" He opened
it for us. Agreed! Our room looks like a trash can. The people here look like garbage collectors. "Just clean
your room and I'll have class tomorrow." Ma'am added a reason to make the fools like it. "Nice.. We can go
home early." "Yes!" "Let's get started." They're good at that! They're very active when there's no class. Ma'am
went out and they stood up. I was about to stand up when Keifer handed me the broom and dustpan. "Old
habit... Clean the room." she said. I was about to leave but I noticed that our classmates were gone . They had
already gone out and only Keifer and I were inside. "Why me again?" "Because you're annoying. Do what I said
or you won't be able to go home." She said and walked away. When she left the room, she closed the door
again. What was that? De javu? This has happened. Rather than being locked up here, I have no choice but to
clean it. The floor was messy again. Dishes, paper, and dirt. The ceiling was also thick with dirt and dust all
around. I started to remove the dirt from the ceiling. I almost went blind from the mess. Then I got a rag from
their old cabinet. Since they had a small sink, I thought I'd get some water there. I removed the plywood cover
and turned on the faucet. There was still water, but it was all moss. I left it open before wetting the rag I was
holding. While waiting, I also removed the plywood, cardboard, and cardboard covering the things in the back.
I put it aside in the corner. When the water was okay, I wet the rag and wiped everything that needed to be
wiped. When I got to the window, I saw them all outside as if they were having a meeting. "What's Keifer's
plan?" "Same... Let's just get her out of here." "What if she doesn't want to?" "But it'll make it even harder." "Let's
just scare him..." "We will do that but not now." I heard them talking. Why do I have this feeling that they're
talking about me? Are they planning to kick me out? Ahhhhhh... Now I know! That's why they're doing this to
me. They're making me suffer so that I can leave. HAHA! Sorry guys, you guys are wrong about the person
who hit you. You thought you could do it? No! No! Let's be strong! I'm not leaving here. You guys get tough! I
quickly finished cleaning. I put all the trash in the garbage bag and knocked on the door. Keifer went in first
and they were all at the door. Keifer immediately looked at the ceiling and was stunned when he saw the
things behind. "What the..." He said almost in a whisper. "I've already removed the curtains... They're in the way
and there's a lot of dust. It's also starting to stink---" "It's still dirty." He said with authority. "Huh?! It's clean... It's
just missing paint for the wall and----" "That's not what I mean." he snapped with two fingers and Felix handed
him the garbage bag. I looked at Felix but he couldn't look at me. I was surprised when Keifer suddenly threw
out the contents of the garbage bag. The foul smell wafted and the garbage flew into the air. What the fvck?!
"See? It's still dirty." He said and smiled full of arrogance. Why would you attach a laser to your eyes? I'm just
going to attach it so that this Keifer will melt in front of me. Animal of all animals! Even animal of animals!
"Are you crazy?!" "Maybe..." He poked me in the head. "...Clean this mess!" Stupid! "Hey! Keifer!" I shouted. He
stopped. I took the garbage I had collected from the garbage bag and walked towards him. "You're right..." He
aced me and raised his eyebrows. "It's still dirty!" I said firmly before pouring the contents of the garbage bag
I was holding onto him. Along with the paper, the food they ate, dirt, and dust were now on Keifer's head and
shoulders. He looked at me evilly, along with the murmuring of the Snakes at the door. "Shit!" "It's too late!"
"He's dead now." "Call Yuri!" If only the look could kill... Putcha! It's my 40th day now. "You! Stupid! Woman!" He
shouted. I still backed away a little from his shouting but I stood up. Head held high. "What do you think of
me?! Your assistant?!" "You----" "Keifer!" Someone shouted. We both looked at the door. Yuri while her
eyebrows met and full of surprise looked at us. "What the hell?! Why are you bathing in dust Keifer?!" He
asked. His eyebrows met when he saw the mess around and on the floor. "Kindly explain..." He said softly. I
looked at Keifer and he did the same to me. "HE WAS FIRST!" We shouted at the same time while pointing at
each other. "WHAT AM I?!" We shouted again at the same time. This is stupid! I'm still copying! "Stop copying
me!" He shouted at me. "Hey! You're copying!" "You're---" "STOP!" Yuri shouted, almost gagging. "..BOTH OF
YOU STOP!" He looked at us both with a look of disgust. "..You're not shy anymore. Your acting like a child.
Clean this mess right now or both of you will stay here forever." There's no way forever. Yuri looked at me with
a look of disgust. Shit! I think I said what was on my mind! I looked away. "I'm not going to clean this mess."
Keifer was stubborn. "..I'm the class preside----" "David is coming back." Yuri cut off what Keifer was about to
say. David? "What?!" He asked, full of surprise but seemingly angry. Who is David again? Is that the one they
say Kiko me'loves knocked down. Landi! Me'loves right away? "He called me this morning. He'll be back." Yuri
said. "..Well talk about it later. For now, clean up." He added and walked away. When he came out, the door
was closed again. Keifer and I were the only two inside. I took the broom and threw it at him. "Sweep up what
you spread!" I ordered. The good Keifer just glared at me and sat in a corner. Good job! If he doesn't want to
clean up, he'll be stiff there. I also sat on one of the benches. The two of us just hiccupped and all I could hear
was the chatter of the cobras outside. Every now and then I looked at Keifer but his head was just blank . He
also looked sleepy because his eyes were deep-set and he would yawn occasionally. It was getting dark and
our classmates outside were getting tired of waiting. I also wanted to go home and I was hungry. I grabbed
another broom and approached Keifer. I handed it to him but he just looked at me. "Let's go... Let's clean up. I
want to go home." I said. My head was still numb. Damn it! I'm going home! I took his hand and tried to hold
the broom. He held it so I left him. I grabbed the other broom and started cleaning. I only had two brooms but
Keifer was still numb. "Tsk! What?! Come with me! I want to go home." He seemed to sense what I said. He
stood up and swept, but that was just in one place. Oh my!"Keifer!" I complained while pacing. "..I really want
to go home." "Sss. Fine." He answered me and started sweeping properly. The silence was deafening. It was
getting dark outside. "Keifer..." I started but he didn't answer. "..Who's David?" He didn't answer. It didn't seem
like he had any intention of chatting. Snarky! "Original Class President of Section E." He answered boredly.
Wow! This guy is getting along. It seemed like he was getting bored with what we were doing. "Is he the one
you were talking about earlier that Kiko knocked down?" He paused for a moment as if thinking before
returning to what he was doing and speaking. "Yes.." The answer was long... I felt like it was about 0.01
milliseconds. "Why isn't he here if he's the class president?" I asked. He stopped again and faced me. "You've
asked so many questions... I'm done." He said as he reached for the garbage bag. Wow! He's done. I quickly
finished what I was doing. When he noticed that everything was okay, he just knocked on the door. It took a
while before it opened. Maybe they had fallen asleep. When Yuri opened the door, I expected him to come in
to check it, but someone else kept coming in. It was Aries and he looked at Keifer and me sharply. "What are
you doing here?!" He asked calmly but authoritatively.
Keifer.
He didn't answer. He just came to me and pulled me by the arm.
"I've been waiting for you!" He told me.
"W-wait!" When I struggled. "..my bag!"
He let go of me and let me get my bag. After getting it,
I noticed that there were a lot of people outside. Aries had already walked so I followed.
It was only when I came out that I realized that Aries' classmates were also with
him.
And the depth of their exchange of glances.
