Competition
Aries's POV
"What are you planning on doing in Section E?" Ella asked Freya. She was going crazy. Section E was removed from the competition a long time ago . She said it was a waste of the school's budget. "They can play so well..." She said while looking at herself in the mirror. Kiko came and sat near us. She didn't look good. She had come in drunk several times and she looked like she was doing the same thing again today. I'm not sure if this is because of Jay-jay. Freya approached Kiko and seemed to be planning something bad. Freya hugged her. We weren't surprised anymore. She had been throwing herself at Kiko for a long time. Her gaze was really focused on someone else. Freya mumbled something and it seemed like they were talking. We couldn't get any reaction from Kiko. "What do you think Freya is planning?" Ella whispered to me. "I don't know, but I swear I don't feel good about it." We still looked at them. Freya is like that, she doesn't care what others say as long as she does what she wants. And I have this feeling that Jay-jay is her target in her plan to join Section E. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Jay-jay's POV "Who are you betting on? Freya is really going crazy." Ci-N said to Eren. Because, she was right. We were silent and then suddenly said that we were participating. It would have been good if it was just one competition. There was Mr. Ganda and Ms. Pogi, then there was a battle of the band, there was also a singing contest and dance troops. What? How are you! Which of us will be participating? "What's up Keifer?" They asked the King of the Snakes. "Tss." He replied. Wow! What a help! It's nice to cut off his tongue. He talked properly and then just answered like that. "Jay! Let's go!" Eman called to me. It was lunch break and Eman was currently cooking. Of course, since the snakes in the restaurant were active, they had already formed a line in front of the table where we were putting their food. It's okay, right? "Don't push!" "Ci-N! I'm ahead of you!" "I can do it! You're right there! Jay-jay oh!" "You guys are starving... We can eat the same." "What's that?" They're so confused! My head hurts. It was already hurting earlier because of Freya and then they're adding fuel to the ï¬re. "You guys are standing in such long lines, did you pay the bill?!" I asked them. After our ï¬rst meal, Eman had already charged. Maybe these people thought that all our services were free. The others scratched their heads. Some avoided it and died of malice, of course there will be those who proudly gave and those with thick faces who boast that they didn't pay. Thick muks! "We'll charge later! You'll pay double!" I ordered them. They couldn't refuse and they just ate. Eman was the one who was scooping rice from the big rice cooker she was carrying . She said it was fair because there would be more. She was also the one who was scooping up the deliciously poisonous Sinigang na Baboy dish . I was the one who was handing out the vipers. But I'm kind so I won't do that. I look at them one by one while eating from my place. Only Keifer and Denzel don't have food. I borrow the tray that Eman brought here. I'll put the food of the King of Cobras here. It should be special! To pay off debts. There's juice, a slice of cake that I bought before entering and a ï¬ve-star hotel serving of food. "Here it is... Your majesty!" I said before putting down the tray of food. Keifer looked at me evilly before taking what I gave him. I took the one for Denzel. It looked like he didn't plan to eat. He's been dazed for days and seems to be deep in thought. I don't want to make up a story but I really have a feeling that the pregnancy test is what he's holding. That's probably what he's thinking too. Oh my! Kuya and I haven't talked since the night they mistook me for pregnant. My drama is over, I also feel bad that he didn't listen to me. I put the food down in front of Denzel but his gaze was still vacant . "Denzel..." I grabbed his attention. "...go ahead and eat." "T-thank you Jay, but I don't have the appetite." He said and slightly pushed the food away from him. It was my chance to ask him. "Do you have a problem?" I asked. Denzel shook his head, but I wasn't done yet and I wasn't going to stop. "It's okay to tell me, you know that." "W-nothing really... I just don't want to eat." "Denzel... You obviously have a problem. Tell me. Is it about the woman? Are you broken hearted? Are you being bullied? Are you pregnant?" Denzel bowed slightly and looked away. Too late! "What? Why aren't you answering?" I asked with dead malice. Denzel took a deep breath. He motioned for me to come closer to him. I did so and waited for what he would say. "Jay..." He started. "...I'll admit it to you. Bu...." He took another breath . "...I'm pregnant." He whispered. I wanted to laugh because what he said sounded like a joke but he was serious. Dead serious! I whispered to him too. "Are you kidding me?" "I'm serious..." He replied. I looked at him carefully. When did the man get pregnant? Unless he had a mistress. "How could that happen?" "Because Jay... I'm really a woman. I just pretended to be a man because I was afraid of them." He explained. My eyes widened in shock and I looked at him from head to toe. Is that possible? After a while, Denzel suddenly laughed out loud. He was so happy laughing that I realized he was just fooling me. Impact! "Hahahaha... Believe me?! Hahahaha!" He said while continuing to laugh. You're just an idiot! The snakes were looking at us. I gave him a hard slap on the head to silence him. "That hurts!" He complained while holding his head. "I'm serious here!" "Because... You're so stupid! You said nothing but you don't want to believe it!" "Tsk! You look so stupid! You idiot!" "That person is just thinking about something!" "Would you think about it otherwise----" "SHUT UP!!" Keifer shouted, making the two of us stop. "...You're disturbing! Go outside and ï¬ght!" We were like children who bowed down and looked at each other. But we still didn't stop. We even taught each other who was at fault. Is it his fault! "You really won't stop?!" Keifer asked angrily. "You'll stop..." Denzel and I answered together. I just took the food in front of Denzel. I was the only one who ate. "Is that for me?" He asked. "I don't think you want to eat?" I asked him back. He just scratched his head and stood up to get some food. He said he didn't feel like eating and then got some to eat. It's really abnormal! I had already ï¬nished eating when I noticed Felix. He had also ï¬nished eating while in the corner. I hadn't even talked to him yet. I came over and sat on the bench in front of him. "Do you want some chocolate?" I offered him. He was looking in another direction and seemed to be deep in thought. "I don't want to." He quickly answered. "Felix... Are you mad at me? Did I do something to you?" I asked. He didn't answer. I continued asking. "...Did I say something? Did I make you eat something? What's my fault?" He still didn't answer and his gaze was still focused in another direction. So... "...What did Aries do to you?" He suddenly looked at me. I couldn't tell if he was mad or what. But I didn't feel good. He slightly approached me and whispered. "A lot..." "What----" "Aries is going to kill people." He added and left in front of me. I suddenly became nervous because of what he said. I was afraid that I wouldn't understand. I looked at Keifer's behavior. Our eyes met. It was as if he was trying to ï¬nd out how I felt. I felt like he knew the reason why Felix was mad at me. I stood up and went back to Eman's place. I really felt different . I couldn't rest. I was still getting over his shit. "Are you okay, Jay?" Eman asked me. I forced a smile and nodded. But I really couldn't rest. I went outside for a while to get some air. Luckily there were big trees not far away so the air outside was resh. I was walking around when I noticed Denzel. He was talking to someone or better said, an enemy. It was Canvas-2! Freya's henchman. He was crying and he and Denzel were ï¬ghting . I got a little closer so I could hear them. Gossip is gossip, but he's Freya's henchman so I had to spy. "Get out of here!" Denzel shouted. "Are you really like that?!" Canvas-2 replied. "Don't hit me! You'll really get hurt!" Denzel shouted. Canvas2 is pitiful but I can't get involved with them. I don't know what's going on. I've had enough of gossiping. "Denzel! I feel sorry for you!" Canvas-2 asked. "Go away!" "We'll feel sorry for your future child!" Just this!! My brain cells couldn't handle it! Even my brain worms jumped in shock. I ran back to the room. Don't worry if Denzel saw me. I really couldn't handle it. I'm right! The pregnancy test is his. How is that? How are they studying?
