Chapter-31

Mica

Jay-jay's POV

Where are you?! That Pikachu is a skunk! I've been looking for it for a while but I can't find
it. I've already ignored six Pokemon. Sightings came out, then suddenly it disappeared. "Are you aware that
you look stupid for what you're doing?" Yuri asked. I ignored him. I was just walking in front of our room. I
really wanted to catch Pikachu. Rizal's monument in front of the school is also a Poke-stop, so when he Lures.
I know! "There! There! There!" I shouted when Pikachu appeared. A Pokeball. "Caught!" I shouted while waving
my cellphone. "Who did you catch?!" Ci-N asked excitedly. He was the one who installed Pokemon Go on my
cellphone. He also taught me how to play. It's really addictive. "Pika'chu!" I replied, imitating Pikachu's voice.
"Nice.." Ci-N said. "Is there a pikachu here?" One of our classmates asked. Even the other cobras came out and
took out their phones to look for Pikachu. They also had Pokemon Go. I was the only one who was really late.
"Tss." Yuri or Keifer? Yuri...
The king of the cobras is not there yet. I don't know where he is.
I don't plan on finding out either.
"What's up?" David asked us. He just arrived.
"Pokemon." Ci-N replied.
David took out his phone. He also has Pokemon Go.
He was playing too.
Pppfffftttt.
To be honest, what we're doing is making me hungry. I'll go to
the Cafeteria to buy some.
Hep! I'm passing by behind. I'm with Sister Lilia, the vendor. She's
the one I tipped before. We're a troop now.
"Sister!" I greeted her.
"Don't be loud... Someone might hear you." She forbade me.
"Hihi Sorry... I'm buying water."
She quickly went inside to get bottled water. When
she came back, I gave her the money right there.
"Thank you.." I said and left.
I was really thirsty. I had some food in my bag. Of course,
those cobras are dangerous.
I was about to leave when I noticed someone in the trash can behind the
cafeteria.
There was someone!
I approached slowly, wondering what she was doing there.
A woman, still in uniform and...crying?
"Miss?" I called her attention.
She looked at me and I could see her eyes were swollen. At
the same time, she looked very scared of me.
"Please! Don't tell Aries that I'm here! I'm talking
to you!" She pleaded and suddenly knelt down.
"Hala! Teh! Stand up!"
"I'm begging you!"
"O-yes! I won't tell! Just stand up!"
She calmed down from crying and slowly stood up. She straightened herself
and that's when I recognized her. It was Mica.
Her posture was also dirty and she had a few scratches.
"Mica? Right?" I asked.
She just nodded in response.
"W-what happened to you?"
She didn't answer but continued to wipe her tears. I'm not sure
if he knows me, but I know he's afraid that I might tell
Aries that he's here.
"Don't worry.. I won't tell Aries.
We're not close either." I said and smiled at him.
He was obviously still a little confused but forced himself to speak.
"Y-because... Y-those S-section D. S-they did this to me."
He replied.
Section D?! What?!
"Why?"
"I-I don't know... P-but I know Aries has orders."
Lightning! It's probably because of the 'flirty' incident.
"How long have they been doing this to you?"
"Since... You and Freya got into trouble."
That's right! I should have told Aries the truth. He didn't even
check if what that witch Freya was saying was true.
The trouble only got worse, even with an innocent person like him getting involved.
"No one helped you? Are
your classmates just letting you do this?" My voice was filled with irritation.
What is this? No friends?! No one even sympathized or defended
her.
"W-nothing... S-it would be Ella, but she's not even going in yet."
What is that? This poor girl is already here. I can't leave her
here looking like this. Maybe the impacts of
those Section D will come back to her. It's also not unclear that she will be tortured even more.
"Come with me first. I can't leave you here or
the Section D will come back to you." I told her.
I grabbed her hand but she immediately pulled it back. It was as if there was
something stopping her.
"W-you can't..." She said and looked away.
Tsk!
"Why? Don't worry, I won't take you to Aries."
"W-that's not it... Because... What..."
What again?!
"Tsk! Is it Calix?"
She was still a little surprised but just bowed before nodding. That's it!
How is this? I can't leave her.
"You have no choice... I'll leave you here, in case something happens
to you."
"Y-because..."
"Just don't go near him."
He really had no choice. So even though it was against his will, he came
with me. There weren't many students left so no one could see his appearance
, since the bell had rung earlier.
We headed straight to the CR. He needed to be cleaned up. Even the scratches
on his arms and knees needed to be washed.
There was no one inside. I checked the cubicles. There was no one there either,
but there were ghosts. Charot!
I was just scared if there were!
I took my handkerchief and wet it. I wiped his face.
His cheeks and neck were red. It looked like he was being held and
strangled.
He had also cleaned his uniform.
"So you're taking a bath..." I whispered.
"Huh?!"
"Nothing..." I replied.
While I was tidying up and cleaning, I suddenly thought of something.
"Mica..." I started. "...tell me, Freya is a slut."
Ella was flirtatious, I should have told her. That's why someone might hear
us. Freya is a slut.
"B-why?"
"Just.. pretend, huh?"
Even though she wasn't sure, she still prepared her voice for a cough.
"Freya is a slut." She said in a sly voice.
I made my hand appear while smiling. "Confirm!"
"Huh?!"
"Freya said that, not you. Even though the speech was sly,
your voice was still low."
"Why?"
"I was worried about the voice when she said the 'M' word.
The voice was slyly high. Freya, really!"
"Jay... Even if you're sure who said that, it's useless
if Aries doesn't listen to you."
She had a point there. So I had to think of a way to
talk to Aries and make him believe me.
"That's up to you.. I'll think of a way for that."
Mica just nodded and continued what she was doing. After that, even though
his appearance didn't seem to have changed, I dragged him to the
Section E room
. When I got there, I saw Ci-N at the door. It was as if we didn't have
a teacher.
"Jay.. Where are you----La! Why are you with him?!" Ci asked me.
I ignored him and continued to enter the room. Of course, since
Mica was with me, Calix was the first to react to his appearance.
"Mica!" Calix called and tried to approach him.
Mica immediately hid behind me.
Calix seemed to sense it and was the only one to face him.
"What happened?" He asked me.
"Long story but he's here for now." I answered.
I made him sit on the bench next to me. Even our other classmates
came over and were curious.
I took the alcohol from my bag and immediately applied it to his
knee wound.
"Aw.." Mica complained in a whisper.
"Jay! Slow down!" Calix shouted at me.
This is a joke! We're just next to each other! Do you have to yell?!
"You're so loud... I'm not deaf." I sarcastically replied to Calix.
Mica took the bottle of alcohol from my hand. "I'm just..."
"Won't Aries be angry when he finds out she's here?"
Kit said.
"He's already angry..." I whispered.
We were like strangers gathering here. What can we
do about Mica's case?
Those Section Ds are still a problem. I should keep her away from
them. Then I'll talk to Aries about it. I just hope he'll talk to
her.
"What's wrong?" Yuri asked, who had just entered the room, with
Keifer.
I and the rest of them looked at each other. No one said anything. Until
Keifer approached us. His eyebrows immediately crossed when he saw
Mica.
"What is she doing here?!" Keifer asked me authoritatively.
"I need to keep her away from Section D----"
"That's why you brought her here?!"
"I-it seems like that..."
"Shh."
I could see Keifer's irritation. He was already holding his breath.
"Keifer... She's here please." Calix pleaded.
Yuri also came closer to us. "What if we're the ones who are heating up Section
D?"
"I'll deal with them." Calix replied.
"No... She can't stay here." Keifer growled.
I stood up from my seat. "Keifer! I can't
let Mica stay in Section D! What if they do to her what
they did to me?!"
Keifer looked me in the eye. He was very serious.
"We can't get involved in their mess." He replied to me.
I just let out a sigh of relief at what he said. Doesn't
Keifer have any mercy? I'm already there because he doesn't want to get involved, but Mica is a woman.
What if I'm right and they do to her what they did to me? It would be nice
if Mica could get back at them or help them like----wait!
"You don't want to get involved in their trouble but you got involved in my fight."
She looked at me again as if she was thinking. She seemed to feel what
I said.
"That's different.. you're different.. she's different.." she replied to me.
"That's not different... It was my fight with D but you came to help
me."
She became even more irritated by my answer to her. I was right! I saw
Keifer bite his lip and shake his head.
It's not bad to ask questions if the intention of asking is good
.
I just hope he lets Mica stay here for now.
