Chapter-48

Sacrifice


Jay-jay's POV


"What's up? Still nothing?" Asked Keifer. The fool didn't answer. I've been waiting for Keifer's plan to catch the
culprit
or days . That's why until now, Nganga! I'm waiting for nothing. I'm getting annoyed . I feel like Ci-N will never
go back to the way it was. The money in my bag is rotting. I'm already tempted to spend it . That's why Ci
immediately comes to my mind. "You know, if you really don't have a plan, just tell me." "Tss." What the hell!
What's the point of 'Tss'? It would be good if that had some benefit. "Oh, okay!" I said and ran away from him. I
went back to the room to look at Ci-N. He seemed to be getting worse now. He didn't want to talk to anyone
else. "Jay.. He really didn't." Eren told me. I already asked for their help to bring Ci-N back to her old self.
Because, they were about to give up. I'm so annoyed! I can't just sit here and watch Ci-N. I'm determined! I'm
going to do my first plan. I took the money from the bag and quickly walked out of the room. Keifer saw me
but I didn't wait for him to say anything. My destination was the main building. But from afar, I saw Aries'
group heading to the cafeteria. E is not allowed in the cafeteria! I wonder what punishment they'll give me if I
go there. But I really have to do this! Batman's on top of it! I went straight to the cafeteria. When I entered, the
people there immediately fell silent. I'm just asking you! I approached Aries' table and they all stopped and
looked at me. "E is not allowed here!" Freya opened it for me. But my attention was on Mykel. I threw the wad
of money at him. "What the----" I didn't let him finish. "That's the money you gave the girl!" "Why are you giving
it back to me?" Mykel asked. "Maybe Ci-N felt guilty so she returned it." Freya sighed. "No. Ci-N didn't steal it...
Me!" Aries chuckled. "Trying to be a Hero again for Section E?" He then crossed his arm. "Jay... Don't do this.
The girl was pointing at Ci-N." Kiko said. And you too? "But she didn't see that Ci-N actually took it! Because I
took it and handed the bag to Ci! I just didn't know that she didn't notice that I was the one who handed it to
her!" I explained. Accept my explanation. You guys! "How did you know there was money in the bag?" Aries
asked directly. Oh shit! "I-I heard her and her boyfriend talking!" I can do this. Just making up a story so he can
get away with it. For Ci-N! "Why did you take it? So Kuya can give it to you." Aries asked again. Manu just kept
quiet. Why is he even bothering? He's really catching me. "I'm ashamed of Kuya! And I'm so greedy for money!"
My tone was rising a little. Calm down, Jay! "You sound defensive." Freya said. This one should stop talking.
What he's saying doesn't make sense. He's just being annoying! "How much is the money?" Mykel asked.
"..The one you stole." "20,000." I quickly answered. "But this one is 25,000..." Mykel said again while waving the
money. "Y-because you gave the girl 25,000! I don't want to owe you anything!" Mykel smirked. "If you really
want to... Then fine, you stole it!" Aries said. "Really!" I said proudly and immediately left the cafeteria. I'm
going back to the room. I need to think of something to say to Ci-N. Reasons and explanations. When I
entered the room. They were gathered together and holding cellphones . They all looked at me the same way.
"What were you thinking?!" Keifer said angrily. "W-why?" "You went live on Facebook." David said and faced me
with his phone. Damn it! In my position, I was facing the person who was videoing. Freya's account was the
one who posted . Really a witch! My heart was beating fast. I didn't expect this. But I should have been
prepared, I wanted this. "Why did you do that Jay? You humiliated yourself." Ci-N asked worriedly. I smiled at
her. "I want you to go back to the way you were." "But what about you? What will people say to you?" "I don't
care about them. I'm fine! I can do this!" I can do it. What I experienced was more than this. I don't care what
they say. I know I can be caught for what I did. Grandma and I are still going . It's not clear that they won't
know. I'll just prepare myself for what they'll say. "Thank you Jay.." Ci said and smiled at me. I smiled at him
too. A smile that said I'm okay. For now... +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Aries's POV "I got
thousands of views and comments." Freya boasted. "Why do you still have to post?" Kiko asked irritably.
Concern? "She needs to learn a lesson. That interfering comes at a big cost." Mykel said. I wanted to complain
about what they did. It would be good if only the whole school could see that. But also other people. This has
probably reached Kuya too. But they also have a point. Jay needs to learn to stop interfering. "Are we going to
suspend Jay? He went to the cafeteria even though it was forbidden." Mykel asked. "Don't. He's also going to
be punished for what he's going through." "What the fvck?!" Freya suddenly cursed. "..Someone deleted the
ideo!" "You deleted it?!" Mykel asked angrily. Freya rolled her eyes. "Someone?" She sarcastically said. "But
it's your account! No one can delete except you!" Mykel replied. "Unless, it was hacked." I said boringly. Freya
suddenly got scared and immediately typed something on her phone. "Karma yan..." Kiko murmured. One of
these days, I will to talk to this guy and clear things about Jay. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Keifer's
POV "Successfully deleted!" Edrix announces. This guy is really good at computer works. We're lucky to have
him here with us. "Freya is probably hysterical right now." Yuri said. "Is Ci-N okay?" I ask them. "She's pretty
much okay. But she's still worried about Jay." Kit answer. "Do you have any plan? We probably won't let Jay-jay
take all the trouble." Yuri said. I look at him confusedly. Why do I smell something weird? Smell like, worried or
concerned. "I'll talk to Ci-N about that." I answer shortly. "Hahaha.. Freya is trying to get her account back."
Edrix said while laughing. "Give it back... She might even cry." Kit teased. "Should I?" Edrix asked me for
permission. I just nod. I'm not going to do anything to her account anymore. Her face isn't pretty enough for
me to look at anymore. All I see is her cuteness. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Jay-jay's POV Ci-N is okay.
It's not completely over yet, but we're already talking to him. He's smiling at least a little bit. We're walking out
of school. I've already prepared myself for this. "It's really him, not Ci-N." "He's not embarrassed anymore. He
used Ci." " I feel sorry for Ci-N." "He should be expelled." I clenched my fist. I thought I was ready. But I couldn't
help but be annoyed. "Are you okay, Jay?" David asked me. I just smiled in response. We parted ways as we
exited the gate. They said they had something to go to before going home so they couldn't drop me off. Let
me go to the Mini Mart. I want some Ice cream. Take the weight off my shoulders. "Welcome to Mini Mart!"
The cashier greeted me. I just smiled at her and went straight to the fridge to get some ice cream. I
immediately went back to the cashier after getting what I wanted. The cashier kept glancing at me while she
punched my purchase. "98.50 po.." he said. I paid. I was about to leave when the cashier stopped me. "Miss...
If it's okay. Can I take a look at your bag?" he said to me. I looked at him in surprise. "What for?" "Ah... Y-
because..." It seemed like I already knew the reason. This was part of what I did so I should have prepared
myself for something like this. "If I don't agree, what will you do?" I challenged. "Miss.. I-I hope it's just for----"
"You have a CCTV camera, right? Why didn't you look at it?" He turned to his computer for a moment and
watched the CCTV footage. He turned to me. "S-sorry po Miss." I looked him straight in the eyes. "Friendly
advice----even though I'm not your friend and I don't want to be your friend either. Don't be judgmental, maybe
you watched the video but you weren't there to know the whole story." I didn't wait for him to say anything. I
eel like I'm about to cry. Now I know how Ci-N feels. This is just one. What if it's the whole school? I might not
be able to handle it. But it's okay... I'm okay and all of this.
