Chapter-29

Guidance

Jay-jay's POV

" Rain rain go away... Come again another day... Little
Jay-jay want to play... Rain rain go away..." I sing while walking. It's still raining but not as hard. It will be misty
then it will be a bit sunny then it will still be misty and it will rain a bit with big drops. Is it a mess ? Entering the
room, it was as if the entire Section E had died. Their expressions were very serious. Ci-N was the first to
approach me. "Jay... Keifer is calling you to Guidance." He told me seriously. I suddenly felt nervous. It was as
if the issue was very serious. Why would he bring us----shit! Maybe it was the fight we had in Section D?! Come
on! I saw Keifer stand up from his seat and approach me. "Let's go, so we can go back right away." He said
and walked away. Before I followed, I looked at Yuri who was also looking at me. We were talking. I ran to
keep up with Keifer, who was already walking fast. Because the biases were long. Guidance was in the new
building. That's why I could see the other students. We stopped in front of the door. I took a deep breath to
gather my courage. This is it, I have to face this. "You go first.." I ordered Keifer. Hehe... I was nervous.. "Tss."
Keifer replied. The magical 'Tss' of Keifer. She knocked on the door before opening it. Ma'am's assistant came
to greet us----I don't know our Guidance Counselor. I always forget her name. "Sit down." The female assistant
said. It seemed like we were expected. She didn't even ask us what we were doing. Did she know we were just
asking something? The female assistant entered through another door. She must have been inside for a few
minutes before coming out. "Come in," she told us. As usual, I sent Keifer ahead again. As soon as I entered, I
was immediately stopped. There were the two Section D students I had been looking for----we. I think the
person with them was their parents. "Sit down." Ma'am Reyalidad ordered us. Thanks for the name plate. We
sat down on the bench opposite the two. Their arms and legs were in casts and cement . Keifer did it! "Maybe
you want to call your Guardians?" Ma'am Reyalidad asked while pushing the phone closer to us. Keifer just
shook his head and I did the same. Who should I send here? Brother Angelo? I was ordered to do so. No way!
"Let's get started..." Ma'am Reyalidad started. "Mr. Dela Cruz, can you tell us what happened?" I saw the
Cemented leg look at his parents before speaking. Admit it! He was drawing strength from his parents. "We
were smoking behind the Gym when Jay suddenly approached us, we asked what he was doing there and we
sent him away. Suddenly he punched and kicked us. We tried to fight back but since he was a woman, we
couldn't hurt him either. We tried to stop him even though we just took his punches and kicks. But Keifer came
and did this to us." Litanya when Cemented leg. I suddenly laughed. I knew I would get scolded for what I did
but I really couldn't help it. Even Keifer laughed. "Hahahahaha.. hahahaha.." Seriously! They could be writers
with the story they told. Long story short! There were some additions and subtractions. "Ms. Mariano... Is
there anything funny?" Ma'am Reyalidad asked authoritatively . I just shook my head and bowed. That's it!
Ma'am turned to face the two of them again. "Mr. Marquez.. Do you agree with what Mr. Dela Cruz said?" The
one with the cast on his arm looked at us before nodding. I'll look again! I might poke his eyes out. "It's clear
that you hurt a student. The result of what you did was a bone fracture and one of them is still in the hospital
today." Ma'am told us. "Mrs. Reyalidad. We want those kids expelled." One of the parents said. Expelled?!
Immediately? Can't they just suspend him first. This parent is terrible! "Mrs. Dela Cruz, we don't immediately
issue expulsions..." Ma'am replied. I breathed a sigh of relief. I thought I would be caught by Kuya. "...But for
Keifer's case, it can be issued." Ma'am Reyalidad added while smiling arrogantly. I looked at Keifer. I couldn't
see that he was afraid but I couldn't see any anger. It was as if he had expected what Ma'am would say. "In our
last conversation with Mr. Fernandez. It was clear that you agreed to issue expulsions the next time a parent
complained. In the case of Section D, the parents of three children complained." Ma'am explained. Is this the
reason why Yuri wanted me to take responsibility for everything? Because Keifer would be expelled from the
school. If Keifer knew this would happen. Why did he help me? I wish he had just called someone else or let
me. "...That's why Mr. Watson, I want you to call your parents so we can talk about this." Keifer just stared at
the phone. Keifer... "Wait a minute Ma'am..." I started. "...What if Keifer really didn't do anything to them?" All
their gazes shifted to me. My heart beat faster. I had to think of an excuse. My chance that they wouldn't
believe me. "Ms. Mariano... If you're just trying to cover up for Mr. Watson-- --" "I'm not covering for him... What
I said is true. I'm the only one who did that to them. Keifer came there to pick me up and get me out of here."
"Sister.. Don't be mean but you're a girl and a girl can't do this to my child." One of the parents replied. I didn't
answer her. "Ma'am Reyalidad, I know you know my records from my old school. That's why you also know
that I can do it." Ma'am didn't say anything. She just stared at me. Bad trip! I didn't want to mention my records,
but I had to. "I-I believe Ms. Mariano. She can do things like that." Ma'am replied while still looking at me.
"Ma'am! Don't believe that! She's just covering for Keifer!" The one with the cast on her arm snapped. It must
have been Marquez. "I'm not covering for her!" "Liar! She did this to me!" She pointed at her arm. "Why would
Keifer do that to you?!" She couldn't answer. Because you hit me with a stick and you were going to do it again
but Keifer caught up to you. You can't say that, right?! I smirked. It seemed like I got the right question for her.
Then she fell silent. "Mr. Marquez.. Is Keifer the one who did that to you?" Ma'am Reyalidad asked her. Even
though she didn't want to say it and it was obvious that she would force it. "Y-it's Jay-jay..." "In that case Ms.
Mariano. Call your Guardian... I need to talk to them about your expulsion." Oh, come on! I didn't think of that!
Naturally I accepted, so the punishment was mine. You idiot Jay! I'm mad at Kuya Angelo. Even though it was
really against my will. I called the home phone number . I was supposed to send Auntie to see her. ["Hello?"]
Tact! Unlucky! It was Kuya Angelo's voice on the other line. I really did it. Why did he come home now?
["Hello?"] He asked again. "H-hello... Kuya, this is Jay-jay." I answered. My heart was beating fast. I could
already imagine what he was going to say to me. ["Jay? Why?"] "What's wrong..." They all looked at me. A little
awkward. "...Can you come to school here?" Even though I wasn't the one he was going to. He was still the one
going. ["Jay..."] He said it with a look of disappointment. The feeling that he already knew the reason made me
even more nervous. "Uhmm.." ["Okay... I'm on my way."] He hung up the phone so I did the same. I turned to
ace Ma'am. "He's on his way." I said. I looked at Keifer who was staring at me. No reaction. It was as if he was
waiting for my reaction. I didn't know if I would smile at him to tell him I was okay. That's why I wasn't okay...
I'm not afraid of that expulsion. I used to be punished for that at my old school but it didn't continue for some
unknown reason. Even though I know it's continuing now, I'm still not afraid. What I was thinking about was
Brother Angelo's anger. He managed to knock over the hospital bench because he was angry with me before.
Hey... We waited for another 20 minutes before Brother arrived. When Ma'am Reyalidad opened the door, it
was like she had seen a ghost and also the two Section Ds. She didn't look angry but she was serious. She
and Keifer looked at me. "M-Mr. Fernandez... Sit down." Ma'am's voice was filled with nervousness. Is Brother
scary? I'm actually scared. "Okay. Can I ask why you called me?" Kuya asked directly. Ma'am looked at me first
before answering Kuya's question. "Ah because... The parents of these children have a complaint." Ma'am
pointed to the two. Kuya also looked at her and looked at us. "Who are they complaining about? Jay-jay or
Keifer?" I looked at Keifer. How did he recognize this guy? Wait, is he the one Ma'am was referring to as Mr.
Fernandez earlier. I thought it was Aries because I know the two of them know each other. He also knows
Kuya Angelo. Keifer looked away. It was obvious that he was not happy that Kuya was here. "T-the truth is,
there are two of them complaining but Ms. Mariano is taking responsibility for the incident." Ma'am explained.
"I want to talk about what happened. I will be responsible for what the two of them did----" Keifer suddenly
stood up and glared at Kuya. "I don't need your help and Jay-jay is the only one with a case, not me.." He said
and walked out of the Guidance office. Are they close? Why is Keifer acting like that towards Kuya?
