Chapter-16
Absent
Jay-jay's POV
It's nice to be locked up in your room. When someone brings you food. Peg is only in prison but you have the freedom to go out. I just don't want to. Even on the weekend I didn't go out. I haven't been in school for a few days. Can I stop studying? Someone knocked on the door and it slowly opened. Aunt Gema came in carrying a tray with food. "Jay.. eat and take your medicine." I got up and sat down. "Aunt.. can I stop studying ?" "Why? Is it because of the bullies?" There was a hint of concern in her voice. Rather than getting into a ï¬ght... I just avoided it. "I just don't want to get into a ï¬ght. Didn't I promise to change?" She held my hand and looked me in the eyes. "There are many ways to ï¬ght the bully. The solution isn't just to break your skull." A broken skull? Where did Auntie get that? "But if it's really necessary... Okay, we'll accept it." She added. She's giving me permission to ï¬ght? It's like I suddenly came to life ! Hahahahaha *Evil laugh* "Are you sure? It's really okay?" "Yes.. but not all the time." She grabbed my cheek and rubbed it with her thumb. "Okay.. I'm leaving now so if you need anything, just call the maids. Okay?" "Okay..." Auntie Gema left the room. So I can only ï¬ght when I'm being bullied and only once? That's ï¬ne, at least I can deny what they're doing to me. I ate the food Auntie brought. I don't want to take the medicine because I feel like it's not effective. My nose still hurts. When I keep looking in the mirror, I see Rudolf, Santa's reindeer. I just put a strip on my nose. I keep getting a nose job. I was going to get a new one to put on my nose but it was already gone . Should I go out to buy it? It's not fun to be locked in my room. It's nice but not un. I changed clothes and brushed my teeth. I'm going to buy a new nose strip. After getting ready, I took my wallet and went out. I said goodbye to Auntie's maid. I'll probably buy it at the mall. There's a boutique in the mall. I'm going to go for a walk. I called a taxi. I don't know how to commute by bus or jeep to the mall. The mall isn't far either. The trip is long because of the traffic. I got out of the taxi and paid the fare. It seems embarrassing. There are so many people, the rest are still students. Should I go home? That's why I'm here. It's up to you. When I entered the mall, people immediately looked at me because of the strip on my nose. Did you just see this? Since your troops are from Mulu, I don't know where they're going. It's a good thing there are always guards and utilities around. "Brother.. Where is your shop here?" I asked the guard. "Watsons? Just go straight." "Okay.. Thank you." I walked. I just went straight down the road. Watsons seems familiar to me? Who has that last name? Tss. It's on the tip of my tongue . Put it out so you can see. I don't want to! I look like an idiot. I was in front of Watsons when I remembered who had that last name. That damn Keifer. Mark Keifer Watson. Couldn't they be the owners? I didn't want to buy here. But maybe not , because this is Watsons, Keifer is just Watson. It's up to you. I just went inside to buy. I just asked the saleslady to help me quickly. After buying, I immediately went outside. I was looking at what I bought when someone bumped into me. Shit! My nose! I immediately touched it and felt it. Whhoooohaaaaaa! Whhoooohaaaaaa! I heard someone laughing. "His nose is red! Hahahaha!" I looked at the talipandas who were laughing. Maybe I was really unlucky or the Watsons were just cursed. These guys are my classmates. I also looked at who I bumped into. -_-! There's really a curse on the Watsons! "You look stupid!" Animal! Stupid... Namo! Namo! Pakyu! I didn't say anything and just walked away. "Wait! Jay! You're with us!" One of them said to me. What are these four doing here? Didn't they come in either? They're probably here! Common sense Jay! Use it sometime so it's not a waste. "I don't want to!" I answered briefly and walked away. I had only taken a few steps when someone grabbed my arm. Ouch! "What?!" I was so angry at the animal that stopped me. Keifer? What's wrong with him? "Sss. Come with us." "No!" "Childish!" I narrowed my eyes at him. What doesn't he understand about the word " No!" ? "I don't want to! It's a bitch!" I tried to struggle against his grip but he only tightened it even more. "You're the naughty one!" He suddenly walked away and almost dragged me away. "Son... I'm going to fall! Let go!" "Shhh." I cut off his tongue so that he could stop shhhing. It's abnormal! It's annoying! People are already looking at us because of our scene. He just looks stupid. This is so Keifer. We stopped in front of an ice cream parlor. His three companions entered and we followed. We went up to the second floor, and there was a VIP on the railing. Wow. "Sit!" He ordered me while pointing at the bench. He can sit! Just a dog?! I didn't obey. I just crossed my arms and looked at him evilly. "What do you need? I'm going home!" "Sit!" "What is that?!" "DAMN IT! IS IT HARD TO SIT?!" He said angrily. People were already looking at us on the ground floor of the Ice Cream Parlor. It was annoying! I didn't care if he got angry but I didn't want a scene. I just sat down and looked away from him. "Kit.. Order for me. Your specialty." Keifer ordered one of our classmates. Kit followed. Is that his name? Kit! Okay... Wait a minute! Nyo? Does that mean Kit? Wow! Rich. Keifer suddenly grabbed my chin and forced my face to face him. I was about to flinch but his gaze was killing me. "Don't move." He said and pinched my nose. Okay, look at what you've done! He took the one I bought at Watsons and opened it. He also removed the strip from my nose. "Aaaray..." "Does it hurt?" He asked. He was just an idiot? "Is that a question?!" I glared at him. He suddenly pressed my nose. I almost fell off the chair because of the pain. Harrrooooo! The pain! Mud! Jusme! I don't want a scene! "Just stop... Masakiiiittt... Hayooooop.." I said while trying to lower and squeeze my voice. I saw the two remaining people with Keifer laughing. "I asked a good question here." Keifer said. "I see... You're going to ask more. Just an idiot?" My eyes ï¬lled with tears because of the pain. I slowly held my nose. It was hard! I might have turned into Voldemort. He held my chin again and forced it in front of him. It turned out that he had already gotten the strip I bought and was about to stick it on my nose. "Fix it... I'll ruin it for you." I threatened him. "Tss. Hold still." He said and slowly stuck the strip on my nose. He stuck the strip and I don't know, I suddenly stared at him and he did the same to me. That's all he did to me. Why are you so upset? Kit arrived with the special order that Keifer asked for, kumag. He put it down in front of Keifer. It was awful! It was overflowing with ice cream and there was a stick-o stuck in it and pure chocolate syrup and my marshmallow with sprinkles. I thought he was the one who was going to eat it but he suddenly pushed the big Mason Jar that the ice cream was in towards me. "This is for you..." He said. "What's that? Bribe!" "If that's what you would like to call it, then ï¬ne. Bribe." I looked at him sincerely in his eyes. "You think you'll let me through ?" "Yeah.. This is every girl's weaknesses." "No. Not me. I don't like ice cream." Really?! Are you sure Jay? I won't send the bribe. Sorry Ice cream! T_T "Then.. what do you want?" Hey... Your team is persistent! They look like they're feeling guilty about what they did to me. "A simple sorry that's from here." I pointed to his heart. "..Then please explain why you did that." He chuckled. "Apologizing is not my thing, so as explaining." Hey rhyme. That must be his motto. "Then we were both wasting our time. I'm going home." I said and took what I bought. I quickly walked away from them. Is he stupid? He feels like it's that easy. He's going to make a fuss! But the ice cream is also a waste. I'll just buy it at the convenience store. But before that, I need to get home. Where can I ride or wait for a taxi here? This is awesome! Walk home!
