Chapter-80

Festival Day 2

Jay-jay's POV

The feeling of not sleeping because of being so scared! This is it!
That's the White Lady's glow! I really don't like ghosts. I don't even know how we got out of there. Busit! I'm
going to the school's covered court now. There's a game, I still want to watch it for a while. It's a good thing it
started late, because when I got home I fell asleep and woke up late. I saw Ci-N and them near the bench of
our school's team player. I immediately went there, I was so crowded that I almost cursed at the people I was
crowding. You guys are welcome! "Here you are Jay!" Ci-N told me. I sat down next to him. That's when I
noticed that Felix was next to me on the other side. I smiled at him and offered him the food I brought. He
looked at it and me first. He forced a smile and took it. I could feel him trying to mend the relationship
between the two of us. He was just having a hard time. "Lincoln High is the enemy! Those guys can be
ooled!" Someone shouted from in front of us. "Lincoln High?" "That's your best friend's school! Hahaha, Ram!"
Ci-N replied , making the entire Section E stop. This guy can't feel anything! I'm trying to forget what happened
and remind him. "Don't pay attention to him, Jay." Felix told me. Suddenly, someone coughed on the
microphone, its high-pitched sound echoed . In the middle of the court stood the girl I was most annoyed with
on earth . Freya! "HELLO HVIS! WELCOME LINCOLN HIGH!" Freya shouted. The audience responded with loud
screams. My ears almost hurt from the loud screams. "LET'S START GAME 1!" She shouted again. "LINCOLN
HIGH FOR THE WIN!" "HVIS! HVIS! HVIS! HVIS!" The names of each school were prominent. If the battle was
just a game of shouting----Freya would win! "LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! HVIS SHARK SLAYER!!" Freya shouted
again and a loud roar shook the court. Our school's players came out from the corner. Kiko and Mykel were
with them. Their jerseys were white and blue, while their barcity jackets had a shark symbol. "AND OUR GUEST
PLAYER! LINCOLN HIGH BULL FIGHTER!" Freya shouted again-----that's it! It was deafening! The spectators
were screaming again but not as loud as before. Lincoln High's jersey was red and yellow. The bull symbol
was on their Barcity Jacket. "AND OUR GUEST HONOR! FROM FAMOUS UNIVERSITIES! MR. CHEN, MR.
AGONCILLO, MR. PARAS and MR. HAN." Freya added-----That's your last one! Finally! Freya left from the
middle. The players warmed up for a moment but even so, they could feel the sharp looks exchanged between
the opposing groups. The referee blew the whistle and everyone went to the middle. They talked for a moment
and the other players returned to the bench. Five of them were left and took their places. After the ball was
thrown, the game began. I looked at Felix who was holding his gym bag tightly. "Felix..." I called to him. "...are
you okay?" Felix shook his head and looked away. He seemed to be feeling annoyed with me again. I just
turned my gaze back to the players but that wasn't my focus. I was thinking about Felix, what could be done to
him. The shouting was loud when both teams scored and even though there was a commotion, I couldn't
escape the sight of a group of men who were looking at me in a bad way----us. "UGH!" Someone shouted on
the court. The referee's loud whistle caught everyone's attention. Mykel fell and was kicking his leg. "That's a
oul!" Someone shouted. "What happened?" I asked Ci-N. "He was tackled by No. 35, I didn't see him because
there were three of them watching him." He explained. It was a foul! But why didn't I hear anything from the
referee? They were cheating . They laid Mykel on a stretcher and took him somewhere. Our school's team
brought in a new player. Back to the game. Our school had a big lead. Until suddenly the three players got into
a fight. Our player fell again . It was as if the other team's No. 14 slipped and couldn't understand. "I think he's
injured again!" Ci said. We waited for what would happen and he was right. Our other player was taken on a
stretcher again . Why wasn't there a foul? The other team seemed happy with what was happening. They were
really doing it on purpose! The players and the coach took a time out and talked for a moment. "They're
cheating! We can't do anything but stay away from them!" The coach said. "No way! We'll lose if we do that!"
Kiko countered. "We have nothing to confess to them!" The coach added. I looked at Felix. He was holding
something inside his gym bag. I peeked at it without him noticing and saw the jersey uniform that was the
same as the players were wearing. Hey! Take care! This is for you Felix! I immediately stood up and tried to
approach the team's coach. I heard Ci-N calling me but I ignored them. "Who are you?!" The coach asked me
angrily. He kicked me! He didn't throw up! "Bring Felix in!" I said, punching him in the face. They were both
surprised by what I said. "...he can handle those guys!" I added. "Hey! Kid! Go back to your hole! Don't interfere
with this!" The coach was very angry with me. "Listen to me! You'll lose if you try to avoid them! It'll be
disastrous if you force them to get close! Bring John Felix Collins in, he knows what to do!" I explained. I
looked at Felix who was very surprised by what I was doing. It was his turn, even though I wasn't sure if he
knew what to do. "Collins?!" The coach asked and looked around at the people behind him. His eyes met
Felix's and he motioned for him to come closer. Even though he was surprised, Felix did what he did. "Do you
know this?!" Coach opened his mouth to Felix while pointing at me. "Yes!" Felix replied. "I'll let you in the game
but if we lose because of you! You two will be the ones who will get mad at me!" Coach said. Felix was
stunned and seemed to not believe what the coach said. I patted him on the arm. "It's your turn! The university
representatives are there !" I said and smiled. He also realized what was happening. He immediately left to get
dressed. I felt excited because he came back so quickly after getting dressed. "Welcome back Collins!" His
teammates greeted him. They talked for a moment about what to do and immediately ran towards the
opponents but they didn't look happy. "Why do you have an additional player?!" No. 35 said angrily to the other
team. "You knocked down our players! We probably need a replacement!" Kiko and his teammate replied. He
looked at me and nodded. I smiled in gratitude. "That's not possible! He wasn't among your players earlier!"
No. said. 14. These guys are going to piss me off! I slowly approached them. "Stop complaining! Just fight! Or
don't you want to because you're a coward to Felix?!" I shouted and suddenly the people shouted in agreement
with me. "Don't interfere in this!" No. 35 was furious. "HEY! DON'T YELL AT JAY! YOU DON'T KNOW HIM! HE'S
JUST BEING KICKED BY RAM!" Ci-N shouted causing the people to mutter. I glared at Ci-N and Kita and Eren
immediately grabbed her. They also covered her mouth to keep her quiet. I'll ruin it! The people from Lincoln
High looked at me strangely. I was forced to return to my place. They didn't say anything so they continued the
fight. As usual, the opponent tried to cheat again but Felix was smart. He retaliated without anyone else
seeing. He was still their target until the fourth quarter. It's a good thing his teammates are kind and
supportive because they support him when needed. "Felix is smiling!" Eren and I said. I looked closely at Felix
because of that. He was smiling, a smile that seemed like he was having fun. The Felix I knew was back. The
Felix who always asked me for food. "GO FELIX!" I shouted. "COLLINS! MAKE THEM FALL!" Ci-N and N
shouted at the same time. The match ended, even though there was cheating and almost a heated argument,
the match ended in a good way. HVIS WON!! SHARK SLAYER!! WOOOAAAAAHHHH!! We were about to
approach Felix but he was talking to four men. Some were wearing polo shirts, while the others were in
business attire. Their conversation at Shake Hands ended and Felix immediately approached me. He hugged
me and turned me around. "Thank you! Thank you! Jay! Thank you so much!" He kept telling me. "H-hala... W-
wait... What happened?!" "Someone offered me a full scholarship to the University! As long as I just play for
them!" He shouted, making Ci-N and his friends scream. Felix hugged me tightly again. "Thank you Jay! Aries
is the reason for my suffering! But you made up for it!" He said and hugged me tighter. "Maybe you want to let jay jay go" someone said...
