Chapter-76

Best President of Section E

Jay-jay's POV

I didn't want to go in today. I don't feel like it. I still can't get what I did out of my mind. It also gives me nightmares
sometimes. "Jay-jay." Yuri called me and sat down next to me. I reached out to him with my hand. Since I got
out of the hospital, my fist has always been in pain so I can't use my hand properly. So here is Yuri and he's
always massaging my hand. It's effective, because after two days of doing that, the pain has decreased. "Why
are you so tired?" He asked me. That was his 13th question since I got out of the hospital. "If only there was a
ee for each question you asked, I would have bought new shoes." I said lifelessly. "If you weren't like that, I
wouldn't bother asking you." He said and stopped massaging my hand for a moment. "... You can tell me." I
wanted to, but I couldn't. A big part of me refused to tell him. I forced a smile. I'm sorry... Yuri is kind, even if
sometimes he's a bit of a jerk like Keifer. Speaking of Keifer, I haven't seen him since this morning. He doesn't
fight me like he used to. Like the others, he's always supportive and doesn't let me go home and go in alone. It
just feels weird. I'm used to us answering each other or giving each other sharp looks. I miss it too. "Section E!
The committee is asking for the names of those we're going to participate in!" Kit greeted us as she entered
the room. Oh my! We wasted all the time we should have been preparing for the Festival. What a mess we had
become. "Jay-jay and Ci-N to Mr. Ganda and Ms. Pogi." Eren replied. Tsk! I can't refuse. I'm the only girl here.
Now I feel the hardship of my situation. "What about the battle of the band?" The others asked. "Can't you
guys go, Yuri?" Rory asked Yuri who was busy massaging my hand. Yuri? Them? The battle of the band? I
looked at her and waited for her to say something. "I haven't talked to Keifer about it yet." She answered. The
guys started talking again. "Do you have a band?" I asked her. "There is... Keifer is the singer, I'm the lead
guitar, Edrix is on drums, Rory is on bass and Felix is on piano." Oh yes... I saw a guitar in Yuri's room before
when I went to their place. "..but we can't play anymore. Keifer has lost his appetite since... Ella." She added.
What a shame. "In the Dance troops... Who?" They asked. Tsk! That's another one. There's also a singing
contest. Oh no! What Freya wants to do to us is really a headache . "Do you have an idea, Jay?" Kit asked me.
Why are you asking me? I just shook my head and focused my attention on what Yuri was doing. The cobras
talked for a few more minutes before Sir Alvin arrived followed by the King. The truth is, it seems like Keifer is
the teacher when he comes in. Shame, Sir is even earlier than him. He was looking at me as he walked to his
seat in the back. Do you really have to be looking? Sir Alvin had started teaching and I admit, I wasn't listening.
Not that I didn't want to but my mind was drifting somewhere else again. I felt like my spirit had reached
Antarctica----charot! The class ended without me realizing it. While the others were chatting , Keifer suddenly
came up to me. "Follow me." He ordered. He didn't wait for me to say anything. He walked out so I followed.
He suddenly turned around and went up the stairs to the second floor. I ran to chase him and ask why he was
ollowing me. Keifer's steps seemed to be a man. I lost sight of him so quickly. When I got to the second floor,
I saw him standing in front of the room that was closed. It was next to the room where I got Calix's love letter.
It was the farthest room. "Do you need anything?" I asked him. He took something out of his pocket. A key?
He stuck it in the doorknob of the door and opened it. He motioned for me to come inside. I didn't want to but
his gaze was persistent . I slowly entered. It was dark and there was no light coming in except for the open
door. When I entered, Keifer followed me and immediately broke the door. Come on! Come on! "Hey! Are you
planning something bad for me?!" I shouted at him. Suddenly the light turned on and I saw the entire room.
There was a sofa in the middle, two tables on both walls. It was all pictures and they almost covered the wall
that was being touched. I went over there and sorted them out. All pictures were of men, a few of them were
women. They were all in HVIS uniforms. Some were stolen shots and some had very serious faces. Some
were old and faded, but some looked brand new. "Who are these?" I asked Keifer who was leaning on the
other table. "Section E. Year 1994 to present year." He replied while pointing to a part of the wall. I went over
there and saw Ci-N. They were all wacky or laughing while facing the camera. I looked at them when I noticed
something. There was only one picture of Keifer and Ella with him. I immediately looked at the others,
because it hurt my eyes----charot! There was nothing, it wasn't fun to look at. "Why do you have this?" I asked.
"The truth is, we don't know. We only found this when we moved to the room downstairs. It was all pictures of
seniors and juniors. Then they thought they'd join in too." He explained. Cool! You'd think the previous Section
Es had something like this. I couldn't help but smile. Maybe they were also vipers like the Section Es of today.
They were also strong-minded and cunning like Keifer. I stopped looking when I saw someone familiar. It was
Kuya Angelo! I looked closely at the picture. Maybe I was just being silly. But it was really him, he still had a
band-aid on his jaw and cheek. He was in a side view and didn't seem to know that he was being
photographed. "Isn't this Kuya?" I asked again. I couldn't help but get excited. That's why he knew so much
about Section E. He also came from here. "Yeah... He is the best and most powerful President of Section E
before." "Is Kuya that cruel?" "Believe it or not half of this town knows him well. Other schools don't want to
isit here because of him." I looked at Kuya's picture again. It was so nice to look at, when I get home I'll tell
him this. "Now you're smiling." Keifer suddenly said. It made me think. I've been smiling since before. Is there
a problem with that? "...You look like you've been dumped by the world." He added. Impact! "Can I put a picture
here?" I changed the subject. I didn't want to ruin the moment because of Keifer. "Yeah... Anytime. Just tell me
when so I can lend you the key." I smiled and nodded. What would be a good picture to put here? I wanted to
put the one of us at the amusement park because we'd look stupid.I looked at the picture again. There were
so many familiar faces. I even saw Kuya Angelo's classmate who he went to Grandma's with before. "Let's
go... Maybe they're waiting for us." Keifer told me. I followed and maybe our teacher was already there. I
waited for her to close the door of the room before we walked in. "Thank you..." I said. "Hm?" "Co'z you let me
see those pictures." I said and smiled. "Tss." It was a waste of a moment! She could have said 'Nothing', or
'Welcome'. But that mysterious Tss was what she answered. Wow! When I entered the room, I expected a
teacher in front teaching but I caught someone else. They were lined up at the back. Their backs were turned
to us. What's wrong? I looked at Keifer in surprise as if he knew what was happening but he didn't seem to
know either. Suddenly, music started playing and the cobras sang along. The tune is familiar to me, I know it's
a song by V ong Navarro. "Yay yay ya! Yay yay yay ya ya! Yay yay yay ya ya! Yay yay ya!" Yuri faced us with a
mic in his hand. My eyes widened. Will he sing?
"When my heart loves. It's guaranteed to last. But if
it gets hurt. You won't taste it." Yuri's song accompanied by the
dancing of cobras.
I want to laugh out loud because of their looks. The music is so feely
. Grinding and grinding.
David held the mic.
"You won't taste this, love. Even if you're rich and social. If
you don't know how to love. You won't taste this."
David's song too.
His look was funnier. He was serious and obviously
orced. I looked at Keifer who had his arm around his waist and
one hand over his mouth.
"If all you're after is my body. If it grinds, it turns. My heart will still follow. The heart of Don Romantiko." David
and Yuri sang
together . "Hugh! Hugh!" They shouted and started grinding again. "Yay yay ya! Yay yay yay ya ya! Yay yay ya ya
ya! Yay yay ya ya ya!" Jusme! They look like macho dancers. Someone is biting their lips. Ci-N is still lifting her
polo shirt up and down, feeling like my abs are going up and down. I can feel my face getting red. I can't help
but laugh , and I feel like they're both stupid. Calix is the one who holds the mic. "My handsomeness is no
joke. I'm like heaven. If you fool me. You won't taste it." She sang. They passed the mic to Ci-N who was still in
the middle while grinding. "I can also be called D' One. Because I won't leave you. If my heart is hurt. You won't
taste it." She sang while still pointing to her heart. "If you only chase my body. That when it grinds, it turns. My
heart will still follow. The heart of Don Romantiko." Ci-N and Calix sang together . "Hugh! Hugh!" They shouted
again, louder and grinding again. "Yay yay ya! Yay yay yay ya ya! Yay yay yay ya! Yay yay yay ya!" Suddenly
Keifer came closer to them. He looked like he was going to stop them because he didn't seem to be enjoying
what they were doing. He grabbed the mic and looked at me for a moment. "When Don Romantiko gets horny.
You'll forget your name. But if you're not real. You won't taste it." Keifer sang. I just covered my face with my
two hands. I could feel the song and the grinding. My face was so hot! I touched my cheek and looked at them
again. "If you're only after my body. When it grinds, it turns. My heart will still follow. Don Romantiko's heart."
Suddenly he went topless and grinded. Putcha! Keifer is a macho dancer at night! "Hugh! Hugh!" "Yay yay yay
yay ya ya! Yay yay yay ya ya! Yay yay yay ya ya! Yay yay yay ya!" I stared at Keifer who still felt the dancing and
singing. Are you the Best President? For me.... He's just in front of me now and he's grinding with his fellow
snakes.
