Chapter-79

Festival Day 1.5


Jay-jay's POV


*Yaaaawwwwnnnn*
Nothing yet but I'm already sleepy. I'm going to school now.
I'm going home to get some stuff and drop it off. I'm still with
Snorlax.
Snorlax and I are next to each other!
I went at 6pm, because I was doing something else earlier. Aside from
looking for Kuya'ng Blue Eyes whose name is Percy.
Who is he really?
When I entered the school, there were still a lot of people. There was still a program in the
auditorium. I went straight to our room.
It was already arranged. We had already moved the tables and benches. When
I entered, they were talking to each other. There was still someone who couldn't wait and slept
on a row of tables.
"Where did you get that thing you're holding?" Ci-N asked me.
"I got it earlier at the game." I quickly answered.
I put down my bag and took out my sleeping bag. I also took out
my chutchirya, which was a big mistake.
Agila grabbed it!
"Thug life." Ci-N said and was busy with the cobras who took
my food.
I just got my things ready. At 7pm,
Calix and her came out, carrying a flashlight.
We were still waiting for the program to end. Since it was the first day, they
said it would end early.
I was planning to go to sleep because I was curious about what Ci-N
and the others were talking about.
"There really is... I saw it." Eren said.
"They said there really is." Ci-N replied.
"Josh, he has a third eye. Let's ask him."
The person they were talking to answered.
Josh, our quiet classmate. Always asleep and
scary when he talks. His voice is so weak, it's like he's having a conscience.
Talking about ghosts.
I suddenly started to get scared. I don't want ghosts. Yes... They won't
hurt me but---Hello?!---it's still scary!
"The program is over!" Someone shouted so we stood up.
I put my bag aside as well as Snorlax. We went out and
closed the room first. We went straight to the auditorium where
people were already leaving. Ci-N's garbage bag reached me. When the people left, we
started cleaning up. "Would you look at that?" I stopped because of what he said. Who else was it?----it was
Freya the witch! She was still hugging Kiko's arm, and it was obvious that she was irritated by him. "The Task
is something you do. Garbage!" She said and smiled teasingly. I opened the garbage bag loosely and faced
Freya. "Come in !" I ordered her.
He looked at me with a wicked look. "Why would I do that?!"
"You're trash, right? Your rotten habits stink! Get in
!"
He waved his hand and raised his eyebrows at me. "Excuse me! You and the
whole Section E are the trash not me!"
I imitated his posture. "Even though we're trash in your eyes,
there's still something to be gained!"
He suddenly acted like he was shocked. "Don't imitate me!
My reputation is being ruined!"
Wow!
"What reputation? Of being a coloring book? Or having
rotten habits?"
He was about to reply when Kiko suddenly grabbed him.
He pushed Freya away while she struggled.
Yuri and I came over to me. "Are you okay Jay?"
I nodded.
"It's true... Kiko and I are." Ci-N said.
Yes, that's not mine anymore. I've already trashed her. But somehow
there's still something in me that's objecting.
We went back to cleaning. We collected the trash outside the auditorium
. We didn't have any problems outside. The
school is strict about littering, so the
trash cans are almost next to each other.
We went back to the room. It was only 9:30 pm, so it was boring! I wanted
to sleep because I might have a hard time waking up.
When we arrived, I immediately picked up Snorlax and sat next to David.
He was watching a movie on his tablet.
"I'm watching..." I said.
He brought the tablet closer to me. I waited for the title
of the movie to suddenly appear-----Conjuring 2!
Shutang'names!
I don't want that! That's scary! I groaned!
"I don't want to watch anymore." I said and slightly pushed the tablet towards
David.
"Why? Are you scared?" He asked me.
I shook my head. "No... I don't want to."
"Stay here... I don't have anyone to watch with." He said and brought
the tablet closer to me.
I didn't want to, because I also didn't want to leave David. How embarrassing!
I was forced to watch----aaaarrrggghhhh!!! The Nun!
Iiiiikkkkkkk!! It's scary!
"Why are you looking pale Jay?" Ci-N asked me.
"W-nothing..." I answered and bit my lip.
Because that's it! The nun!
The movie we were watching ended. I'm still hugging
Snorlax and I admit, I'm scared! I feel like if I look in
another direction I'll see the nun.
"11pm duty!" Keifer shouted and they stood up.
Me? Still sitting! I don't want to come.
"Let's go!" David told me.
I was forced to stand up and leave Snorlax in the corner. I also took the
flashlight they sent. I was in the middle of them and didn't speak. We met
in the main building for the previous duties. "You guys... We're going to sleep." Kit said and walked back to the
room. "Let's go to the back of the gymnasium first. That's where the crazy people often hide." Keifer said and
walked away. I just looked straight ahead. I didn't want to look in any other direction! It was hard , I might see
something---- "Aaahhh..." I shouted. Ci-N was grabbing me. Animal! "Are you okay?" "You're in trouble!" I
answered him angrily. "..Why are you here?! I thought you had a fight tomorrow?!" I only remembered now. Yuri
said even though they didn't go to the gym. "We practiced in the room." He answered me. That's why. But I
didn't catch up with them. We got to the gymnasium but there was no one there. We moved to the auditorium.
There were no people there either. "Okay... Let's split up. Group into two." Keifer said. I immediately clung to
David. He was the only one close to me but Yuri suddenly picked me up by the collar on the back of my neck.
"You can't go with David." He said. "Why?" I asked. "Y-because... W-what..." He stammered out his answer.
"Maybe his girlfriend will get angry." Ci-N said. "Oh, that's right... He might get angry." Yuri added and looked
away. "It's just a different bet... But David isn't with him." Eren said. We took our seats and only David----who
was wondering what was happening---- was not with him. "It's different... Bet!" We shouted at the same time.
Eren was the first to change so he would be with David. We took our seats again. "It's different... Bet!" Ci-N
was the next to change so she stepped aside. Back to our previous seats, but before we started I noticed Yuri
seemed to be serious about what we were doing. There was no Jockpot price! You're serious about that! "It's
different... Bet!" There you go! Yuri was the different and Keifer and I were the partners. I didn't want to! There's
still a stake! "Okay... David and Eren are in the freshmen building. Yuri and Ci-N are in the second year. We are
in the third year." Keifer ordered and we started walking. We headed straight to the third year building area.
Like us, they also have what is called a main building and cafeteria. They are closer to the auditorium while we
are within arm's reach of the gymnasium. Our school is a wealthy one so the Auditorium and Gymnasium are
different . We entered the main building. It was a bit dark, because the utilities didn't make the effort to turn on
the lights because they were all focused on the booths and stalls. "After this, we'll go to the booths and stalls
in front of our main building." Keifer said as he continued walking. "S-okay." We continued walking and headed
straight to the second floor of the building. *BOGSH* WHAT IS THAT?! GO HOME! "Let me go!" Keifer shouted
at me. I looked at myself. I was clinging to him. I must have been so scared. I let go and straightened myself.
"Let's go there." He ordered. I gave him a strong shake in response. Shut up! Only horror movies do that! You
should avoid that! "What if it's a thief?" He said. "What if it's not?" "How can you be sure if we don't go?" "What
if we just go back and call re-enforcement?" I insisted. He looked at me evilly. "Let's go! What a waste of time!"
He suddenly grabbed my hand and tried to pull me somewhere. I just tried to get rid of my fear. I was
humming a song by One Republic, Secret. "What's the title of that?" Keifer suddenly asked. "Secret by One
Republic." He just nodded in response. This was the song I heard on the radio the other day. "Keifer..." I called
out to him. "...can I make a request? Just play that one on Battle of the Band." "I'll ask them about it." He
answered me. We stopped in front of a room. The door was open. Keifer was the first to peek in and slowly
opened the door. He was also the first to enter. All we saw was a broken picture frame. It looked like it had
allen from hanging on the wall. Keifer just let go and was about to leave when he suddenly stopped. He was
shocked and scared as he looked at me-----at my back. "W-why?" I asked him. I felt so cold. It was as if there
was an AC on my back. He swallowed a few times and slowly pointed behind him. Right! I know! That's what
I'm saying! I slowly turned around and.... And..... And..... GO OUT!!! WHITE LADY!! "AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!"
