Chapter-65

Assembly

Jay-jay's POV

"Hahahaha.. Did Keifer
really do that?" Ci-N asked while laughing non-stop. The shameless act had already reached them. They also
saw his black eye. I'm proud of that! I gave it to him! He deserves that animal! "Where did you get the PT?"
David asked. I looked at Denzel who was stunned by the lack of it. But I couldn't tell them that yet. "I just
picked it up outside. I was curious so I took it." "Don't pick up the trash." Calix said who was also listening to
us. "Maybe it's yours. You just threw it away." Ci-N glared. "Do I have a mattress to use it with?!" Calix asked
irritably. "No... But Mica does." Ci-N replied, a reason to get a ticket. "..Oh." "Mica's dad and I had a
conversation. I won't do that." She explained. "Did he introduce you to his parents?" David asked. Calix blushed
slightly and nodded. "..That's how you look?" I asked. He still looked like he was being teased. He and Mica
were okay but he still looked like that. "Is there something wrong with my appearance?" She asked back. David
and Ci-N nodded together. "Mica said it's okay." He said and took out his cellphone to look in the mirror. "He
just said that... But he's afraid that when you shave and wax, many people will chase you." Ci-N teased. Calix
looked at him evilly. But after all, that's possible. When Eman and I were at the restaurant, Mica always looked
at Calix when talking to a female customer. We couldn't blame her. It's a good thing we hadn't heard that they
were fighting yet. "Guys! Assembly at 9 am!" Yuri announced. I checked my cellphone for the time. It was 8:45
am, can I be left here again? Like before when Section D targeted me. After a while, they stood up and walked
outside but I was still sitting . "Let's go Jay! How are you doing there?!" Ci-N called to me. They stopped and
looked at me. I don't know but it felt like I was waiting for someone among them. Someone touched my head.
I looked at who it was. Yuri. "Come on... You're one of us so you should be with us." She said and smiled. I bit
my lower lip. It felt good to hear the word 'one of us'. My annoyance with Yuri was completely gone. I stood up
and approached Ci-N and David. "Have fun now!" Kit greeted. I knew they knew the reason. We headed
straight to the gymnasium where the other sections were. Upon entering, we were given a bit of a look. But I
didn't care what they looked at. Nothing would change my mood right now. First row was Section A, then B
and so on. We were in the back, of course we were the last Section. And since I was the only girl, I was at the
ront of the line next to Yuri. Keifer was separated, he was in front of us but there was a distance. What was it
really like? Our Guidance Counselor and Sir Alvin went up on stage. Ms. followed. Laila Smith and others who
didn't look like teachers. "Good Morning!" Sir Alvin began. "...Let's start the Assembly for Fourth Year. Start
with Section A." I looked at Section A which was a little far from us. Freya was at the front of the line,
separated like Keifer. "Section A, representative Freya Hidalgo myself. Students report---- Zero suspension no
iolation. Home room report----New air condition needed. Suggestion----New room for Section A." Freya said
without looking around her. That's how they used to report. They were so lazy, they needed a new AC. They
even wanted to change rooms. What a shame! Section B followed, complaining about the CR near their room.
They had two violators. Rakki followed. She seemed lethargic. "Section C, representative Rakki San Diego,
myself. Students report--- -1 suspension no violation. Home room report----New Ceiling Fan needed.
Suggestion----None." Rakki said without looking around her either. D followed, a male representative. They had
5 suspensions and 7 violators. They were requesting a new room and so was their suggestion. I looked at Yuri
who was looking in front of me. "Yuri..." I started. "...What's the difference between a Home room Report and a
suggestion?" "A Home room report is a priority. That suggestion, it's just a suggestion by the representative,
even if it's ignored." I nodded. That's it! Keifer was going to speak. "Section E, representative Mark Keifer
Watson, myself. Student report----2 suspensions 4 violations. Homeroom report----None. Suggestion----None."
Keifer explained boredly. We have suspensions and violations? Who are they? And why didn't Keifer mention
the mess in front of our room? I poked him, causing him to turn to face me and I saw his black eye. "What?!"
He asked annoyed. "W-why didn't you mention the trash in front of our room?" "Do you want to know the
answer to that? You're the one to report." He said and suddenly raised his hand to get the attention of those
on the stage. "Yes? Mr. Watson." Sir Alvin asked. He nudged me to tell me to speak. "S-sir... Uhmmm... Home
room report. The trash in front of our room----" I hadn't finished yet but our Guidance Councilor immediately
cut me off from speaking. "Ms. Mariano, the trash isn't being taken away because your Section is very suitable
or that area." He said, causing the other students to laugh. Okay... I know! I went back to my seat, bowing. I
was annoyed! I felt embarrassed. This is Keifer. I'll add to that his black eye. "Next topic... Festival!" Sir
announced, making the other students shout. There it is! It's the Festival! Sir Alvin called out to each Section.
"Section A!" "Program organizer!" Freya replied. Sir also called out to the other sections and they answered. B
is for sports, C is for booths and D is for security. Just like Sir said before. "Section E!" We waited for Keifer to
say. We knew he didn't want us to take on any more tasks. We had a few meetings about that but we just kept
fighting. Keifer turned to us. We were talking to him the same way. He took a deep breath. "Night security and
garbage collector!" We said 'yes' and the other sections laughed. We don't care about you as long as we're
going to the festival! Wooohhhh! Festival! "Maybe we can go back. We're done!" Keifer told us. "Can't we wait
until it's over?" Yuri asked him. "Sss." Keifer replied. It was obvious that he didn't want to stay here anymore.
But it wasn't over yet, it would be rude if we left. "We've got some changes in the programs!" Ma'am Laila
suddenly said. We looked at her and waited for what else she would say. "...The King and Queen of HVIS will
be removed." The students immediately reacted. Freya was the first of course. "What?" "That's so ugly!" "What
are they going to replace?" "SILENT!" Ma'am shouted, echoing throughout the gymnasium. "...it will now be
replaced by Mr. Ganda and Ms. Pogi, where the girl will dress as a man and the boy will dress as a woman."
They whispered to each other. They slowed down and were afraid that Miss Laila would yell at them. "Every
Section should have a representative who will be presented in the Finals. Year level will compete in the Finals."
she added. Every section? Wait a minute! I'm the only girl here. That means... "We're not in it." Yuri whispered.
She seemed to notice that I was suddenly scared. I sighed, but why weren't we in it? "Why?" I asked Yuri.
"Board members don't consider us anymore. It's a waste of effort, we won't win." She explained. It's a good
thing I'm not interested in those pageants. Maybe our Section would be embarrassed if I were the one
competing. "I have a suggestion!" Freya shouted while raising her hand. "Yes? Miss Hidalgo." Ma'am Laila
replied to her. Why do I feel like I'm being punished for what Freya did? I feel like she's not saying anything
nice. "Every Section should have a representative, right? Then Section E should have a representative." She
said and looked at our line. Say it! Freya really doesn't have anything nice to say. "Freya, you know that Section
E----" "Yeah! I know that! But I think it's time for Section E to prove themselves!" She said while acting cute. For
a moment, the people on the stages murmured and waited for us. Don't agree! "If Section E will join the
competition, which will it be?" Sir Alvin asked. "All of it!" Freya's reply was proud. "What?" "Freya is crazy!"
"What are we going to do?" The snakes complained. But Freya is really crazy. She probably wants to
embarrass us in front of many people.
