Two Red Line
Jay-jay's POV
6am. Here I am walking to school at this hour. That's what Eman and I were talking about. But I'm still sleepy. I feel like the cold water I took a bath in didn't work. "Yaawwwnnnn...." It's annoying! I should have gone to bed early. I was mourning the fact that Aries burned my shorts. May God bless you. While walking, someone suddenly touched my head. I immediately removed my hand and glared at the person who did it. "Good Morning!" Yuri greeted me. Pfftt... It was just Yuri. "Good Morning too! Why are you up so early?" I asked him. I suddenly looked into his eyes. He tried to avoid it but I held his face so he couldn't move. "W- why?" "Are you wearing contacts?" I asked and brought my face closer to her. "O-yes." I let go of her but I was still looking into her eyes. "It's up to you... At least there's nothing wrong with your face anymore." "T-Thank you." I smiled and started walking again. She followed me. Yuri seemed to get even more handsome. Ahihihihi... When we arrived at the room, Eman and Ci-N were starting to clean up, sleeping. She was really drunk, she went but only to sleep. "Good Morning Eman!" I greeted her with a loud voice to wake the other one up. But there was no response. She was still sleeping. "Good morning... Just you?" She asked when she noticed that only two of us had entered. They were talking about texting the whole class and they should have olunteered to go. But no one volunteered. How great! It was supposed to be Ci-N but she was asleep. There was nothing we could do if she was like that. I went over to her and shook her slightly but she still didn't move. "Ci! Wake up!" I said while continuing to shake. She only growled in response. This naughty child is already here! "Let her go." Yuri said while taking out the cardboard boxes that were covered behind her. I felt annoyed. Before approaching Eman, I pinched Ci-N's ear ï¬rst. No fuss! She giggled. We removed the cardboard boxes, iron and plywood piled up behind her. The shoe rack opened. It looked like a locker without a cover. I saw Ella and Keifer's names again, as well as the heart between them. "Shouldn't we remove the names?" I asked. "Maybe remove them. Maybe when Keifer sees this, he'll suddenly freak out." Eman replied. We were removing the names. I put Ella Dianne Hyun's name ï¬rst . It didn't mean anything, it was just her name that was really mine. To be honest, Ella seemed kind, but why did she end up in E before? "Why did Ella end up in Section E before?" I suddenly asked, stopping Eman and Yuri. They exchanged glances before answering. "Ella because..." Yuri began while rubbing the back of her head. "...Maybe she looks like an angel outside but it's the opposite when she gets mad." I just looked at Yuri. I waited for her to ï¬nish her explanation . Eman seemed to sense it so she continued. "Ella had a ï¬ght before. With the weight of her hand, her opponent had a concussion on the head. Her nose also bled and her face was covered in bruises. They weren't rich so there was a problem with kick out or suspension." Eman explained. Oh, that's so brave. "Ella's family talked so she was taken to Section E following the suspension." Eman ï¬nished. That's why. I've always thought about that. Her face is still beautiful. That's why when we were talking about Mica before, she suddenly got angry as if it came from deep within. That's why she's so brave. Does Aries know that? "How did she end up in A?" I asked. This is my chance to gossip. They are open to talking about it. Don't waste the opportunity. "Those are none of your business." We were both stunned. I felt like we were all being poured cold water. "Keifer... Were just----" Keifer cut Yuri. "Shut up!" I straightened up and faced Keifer. He looked at me angrily and I felt like he had already killed me in his mind. He came closer to me and looked me in the eye. "You really are a gossip, aren't you?! You even know other people's stories!" "N-not like that... I was just curious." I replied. "Do you believe in the saying 'Curiosity kills the cat'?" I shook my head. Because I didn't understand that saying. Yes..it's for the curious but I'm not sure about the whole thing. Keifer came closer to me and pressed his lips to my ear. "Start believing." Goosebumps... I think my whole body shivered when he whispered to me. It's terrible! Keifer left but he left Yuri with a sharp look. "Let's talk about Ella next time." Eman said and went back to what he was doing. I followed but the truth is, I was still confused by what Keifer whispered to me. Because! Why does this Keifer seem to have an impact on me? It's annoying! We continued cleaning and Ci-N continued to drag. The other cobras arrived, some helped us but some were just sleeping. I was taking out the trash we had collected when I saw Denzel walking outside near the stairs. He was holding something white and seemed restless. "Hey Denzel!" I called out which startled him.He suddenly threw the white thing he was holding somewhere. He came up to me and forced a smile. "Good morning!" He greeted and continued into the room. Without waiting or my answer. Where was that? I remembered the white thing he was holding. I don't know...my brain was itching to ï¬nd it. I wasn't sure where it went but I still looked for it. I almost threw the trash near the stairs. They said it was like a dump. Until I saw a white thing on the ï¬rst step of the stairs. I wasn't sure if this was it but I still took it. Pregnancy Test? Why is it here? What's worse, two red lines. My teacher used to say that it meant 'Positive'. Wait! Wait! If this is the white thing Denzel was holding. That means... DENZEL IS PREGNANT?! Oh, wrong! Denzel is a boy. That means... PREGNANT WITH DENZEL?! My eyes widened when I realized. But who did she get pregnant with? What will happen to her studies? I need to talk to her. But later because she doesn't seem to want to tell anyone else. I hid the Pregnancy Test. I went back to the room but my eyes were on Denzel. "What took you so long?" Yuri asked me. I just shook my head. "Are you okay?" He asked again. I nodded. "Why aren't you talking?" I shook my head again. "Jay! Help me here!" Eman called to me. I left Yuri who still had a surprised look on her face. I helped Eman put the supplies in place. We had already placed all the dry goods in a separate shoe rack. One space in the can and another space in the rest. All the appliances on the upper part of the shoe rack. Eman also brought an electric stove. The only thing missing was a refrigerator, the kitchen was the drama of the back part of our room. "Okay!" Eman shouted, clapping the cobras. That's when I noticed that Ci-N was awake. The prince of the cobras was awake. "That's great! The good one is awake!" I said while looking at Ci with a wicked look . It was an impact! Sir Alvin arrived followed by the King of the cobras. I didn't look at him. I was getting bored. We might just start a ï¬ght when our eyes met. Class had already started. But I was excited for lunch time. Because Eman and I are going to cook. I'm going to teach her. I don't know how to cook either. Auntie's maids were teaching me in the past but I think they've lost their patience. "What are you going to cook later?" Ci-N whispered to me. "I can't----" We all stopped. Suddenly David came in the door. His face was all bruised and he was walking with a limp. "W-what happened to you?" I asked. David just shook his head and sat down next to me. The cobras exchanged glances and it was like they were talking only in their minds. It was creepy. "Did you have a ï¬ght?" Kit and David asked David. David whispered something to them. It was like it was a switch and caused the mood of those he was whispering to change. What did David whisper? I had a eeling it wasn't good. Kit and Kit's mood wouldn't change if it was good. I looked at Ci-N but she just shrugged. I just looked back at the front. Sir was already starting. Even though no one was listening, Sir was still teaching. The snakes weren't listening. I wasn't listening either. My mind was wandering. Until I could hear what they were talking about. Kit's voices were getting louder. "When will we come back?" "Later." "Who?" "Kiko Evans' group." I was stunned. Kiko's group? Did he and Kiko ï¬ght again? Is Aries there? This is chaos again!
