Chapter-78

Festival Day 1

Jay-jay's POV

Who's excited?! No
one... Super excited?! There are. Me! Hahahaha... I'm excited. Super duper, because now I can go to the school
Festival. According to Ci-N's story to me, the Celebration was really fun . That's why your Grandma was
excited. The parade starts at 8am. We can't attend that. They said they wouldn't look for us. So we were going
before 10am. I looked at the wall clock. It was 9:30, but my pick-up guy still hadn't arrived. I checked my
cellphone to see if they had texted, but they still hadn't. I left the house to wait for them. Just as I was getting
out, David's car stopped in front of me. "Sorry it took so long..." Ci-N said, peering out the window. I
immediately got in. "Okay. Let's go!" David started the car. It was still far away, but I could already hear the
loud music coming from the school. There was quite a bit of traffic, probably because there were so many
people. The party on the road had already taken over. We were almost at the school gate when David stopped
the car. "Let's just stay here. There's no parking inside." David said. We got off at the same time. Ci-N and them
were really fun to look at. There were a lot of visitors from other schools. "Don't go far from us." David told me.
I was a little ahead of them. Probably because I was so excited. So I stopped to catch up with them. I was
excited. "Where do you want to go first?" They asked me. "Let's eat first." I said. They nodded to me. When
entering the gate, the school was almost too crowded. There were so many people. Suddenly, someone
announced, everyone heard it because of the surrounding speakers. "Please proceed to the auditorium. The
program will start in 10 minutes." People started walking towards the auditorium. Some chose not to watch
like us. We chose to eat here at the sushi house. It's just a small stall and the sushi is like from a convenience
store so it's not that tasty. "Calix oh.." Ci said while pointing to a booth. "...I'm going there." She suddenly stood
up and ran towards Calix. This Ci-N is really naughty. I bet they'll fight. Manu just let the two of them go. Are
they dating? "Do you want a drink?" David asked me. I nodded and he immediately went to a stall selling
shakes. I was just rolling my eyes when Kiko suddenly approached me. "Hi Jay!" He greeted me. I smiled in
greeting. I was confused, because my view of him had changed after what David had told me. "Are you alone?"
"I'm with Ci-N and David." I replied. "Ahh... They're not here yet, maybe you want to come with me." That's it.
Why does he seem so arrogant now? "No. I'm here. Maybe your girlfriend will be angry with me." Maybe Freya
will suddenly tease me while walking on the road. This Kiko is crazy too. After I bastiden, Freya was the one he
signed. "Are you sure? I'm great company." He was boasting. I shook my head at him. I wanted to send him
away. It was no longer comfortable. He was so lonely to be with. "No... I'm really okay." I insisted. "Okay then...
But if you change your mind you know where to find me." He said and walked away. As he left, David came
back. He put down the shake he bought. "Did Kiko do something bad to you?" He opened his mouth to me.
"Nothing..." I replied. David's cellphone suddenly rang. He pressed it for a moment before talking to me. "Jay...
I have to go. My girlfriend is at the airport ." He said. He didn't wait for me to say anything. He quickly ran
away. No, girlfriends are tough opponents----Charot! I also stood up to look for Ci-N. They were out of my
sight. She was just messing around with Calix and Mica earlier. Where did she go? I walked around. I also
looked at the booths until I stopped. There was a stuffed Snorlax toy. "Brother... What kind of Snorlax is that?"
I asked the man guarding the booth. "That's not for sale... You have to knock the guy down to get it." The man
replied to me while pointing at a figure that was as small and thin as my finger. "What will you use to knock
him down?" "Here..." He showed me a pellet gun. When will I ever hit that?! That's Kuya. It's so impossible to
hit that. It's like he's on top of a mountain. There are other things I can hit but of course the Snorlax is what I
really want. I shook my head at Kuya to tell him no. It's just a waste of money, it's obvious I'm not going to get
it. A man suddenly approached me and stopped in front of me. "Hey... Are you mine? Co'z I am yours." I smiled
at him. I looked at him evilly. He was wearing shades and shorts, I couldn't see his face properly. "Kuya...
You're getting late. Stay away from drugs." I commented and he suddenly laughed. I was annoyed! But his
laugh was so handsome. It sounded macho. He was already laughing . He took off his shades and stuffed
them in the pocket of his polo shirt. He turned to face me and that's when I recognized who he was. Blue
Eyes! "What you said was true. Are you a joker?" He said. I gave him a hard time. "No! Your pick up line is
corny!" He laughed again. "You're so grumpy. What's your name again?" He asked me. Hmpf! He had a feeling I
was going to tell him. I'd never given him my name before. "Secret." I replied. "Okay Secret... I'm Promise by
the way." He said and held out his hand. "Lelang, you're welcome!" He laughed again. "I have no Lelang." The
eeling was the same as when Keifer, Aries and Yuri dated. He also had a sense of humor, a sense of humor, a
sense of humor and a sense of humor. It felt weird. "I don't know! What do you need?!" I asked him annoyed.
He stopped laughing. "Your name. We've met several times but I still don't know your name." I didn't want to
say it. It was so much fun to annoy Blue Eyes' brother. "I'll tell you next time. When we meet again." I teased .
"C'mon! I'm dying to know your name!" He was acting. OA ah! Dying! "Your OA!" He scratched his cheek and
looked at the booth opposite us. "Just like that... I'll play this game for you. Since I saw you asking and
pointing to that stuffed Toy." He said while pointing at Snorlax who was 3ft. tall. "I will win that price and
exchange it for your name." He was arrogant. He felt like he could really get it. That's why I changed my mind
because it was obviously hard to get. "Okay." I replied arrogantly. He smirks and walks toward the booth. He
handed in his payment. Five pellets for 25 pesos. Okay! "Snorlax for your name." He said and aimed the
shotgun at the target. He held the gun strangely. It was like he was an expert. He fired, the first shot missed.
Nothing... It was weak. He aimed again and aimed at the target. It hit but the person didn't move . Putcha! The
person must have been glued! He aimed again. This is the third bullet. He aimed and hit again. It still didn't
move. Blood! It was really glued! He aimed, this is the fourth. He only had one bullet left. If it didn't move, there
was no hope. He shot, hit and moved! Move! Move! There was hope! It was the last bullet. He aimed, and
aimed at the target. I just bit my fingernail while waiting for the result. This Blue Eyes Brother was so thrilling .
He took a deep breath and.... Hit! The target fell! "YES!!!" I shouted while raising both hands. Blue Eyes put
down the shotgun. Kuya handed him the Snorlax. I just kept clapping my hands while waiting for him to hand
it to me. "Your name..." He said. "Jasper Jean Mariano... Jay-jay for short." I said and snatched Snorlax from
him. I hugged him and made him shiver. I also bit his ear. "You're scary, you shiver. Biting!" He teased. I licked
him in response. I tightened my hug on Snorlax. I noticed that he was looking at someone behind me. I was
about to turn around to look at it but he suddenly spoke. "I have to go. Nice to meet you Jay-jay." He said and
started walking. "Wait! Your name!" I shouted at him. He stopped for a moment and looked at me. His eyes
were serious and it was as if what I was asking for was a very important detail. "Percy... Percy Mariano." He
said and quickly walked away. Percy Mariano?! Percy and Mariano are familiar to me----We have the same last
name! I immediately chased after him. Maybe he's my relative or maybe he knows Papa. I reached the gate
but I couldn't see him anymore. Aries and I met and he immediately grabbed my arm. "Where's the one you
were talking to earlier?!" He asked me sternly. "Go away!" "What did he say to you?!" I removed his hand that
was holding my arm. I looked at him with a frown. What did he care about the one I was talking to earlier?
"Nothing! He just asked my name!" I could see that he was restless and seemed to have some problem. He
immediately walked away and seemed to be looking for something. This Aries was a nuisance. The one I was
looking for disappeared. Author's Note: Calix Rivera. Supposedly, he was being rude.
