Festival Day 3.5
Jay-jay's POV
"Okay.. Like yesterday, let's go!" Keifer said and was about to walk towards the third year building. "Wait a minute..." I stopped them and looked away. I couldn't look at him! "What's up?!" He asked annoyed. "Let's switch partners." I suggested. "Why?" Yuri asked. Don't ask! Just say yes. "W-just nothing... just to be different." I answered. I looked at Keifer but immediately looked away when I saw him looking at me. I'll look again... "It's different, just bet again." Ci-N suggested. We put our hands in place. This time with David. "It's different... Bet!" We shouted. David and Ci-N were the ones who immediately changed. They were now partners. We put our hands in place again. "It's different... Bet!" We shouted. Yuri was the one who changed. Why do I feel like she's my partner again? They put their hands in place again but I didn't put my hand in. I grabbed Yuri's arm. "We're partners!" I shouted and immediately pulled Yuri. "...We're in the ï¬rst year." "Hey!" They shouted at me but I ignored them. I continued pulling Yuri who was obviously unaware of what was happening. We arrived at the First Year building and I let go of Yuri. I took a deep breath. "Are you okay Jay?" Yuri asked me. "Yes.. Sorry, huh? You're the one closest to me so I pulled you ." I explained. "It's okay... You can tell me if there's a problem." He said. I played with the flashlight I was holding. I was embarrassed to tell him. Unfair! I know their problems but I can't tell anyone about my problems. It might not be bad if I tell Yuri even a little. We reached the second floor. "Yuri.." I called out to him. "...You know that feeling when you like someone even though you don't want to?" "Oh, yes..." He replied. "What can be done about that?" "What do you mean by what can be done?" He asked in surprise. "I mean, to avoid or not fall into someone." Yuri stopped. "Why avoid? Jay... You can never stop falling into someone." He answered seriously. "Why?" "No one can control feelings." "Make it clear..." I ordered him. "Jay... You can fall if you can. Those are feelings, you can't dictate them." "Why not? I don't want to... I don't want to." I protested. "Why don't you like him?" "Because he's stupid, an animal, a coward, a strong-willed, a king of wolves----" "So... What are you asking about?" He asked and smirked . Oh, I slipped up! "N-no... W-what's that..." I denied it but he didn't seem to believe me. "Who's the unlucky guy you liked?" He teased. "I'm the unlucky one who liked him... And I don't like him yet! I'm still confused." I explained. Yuri suddenly laughed. "You're not confused. You're just denying it." "No! I'm still confused!" "Why?" "Because I'm annoyed by him! He's abnormal, you can see what that Keifer is doing to me!" I answered annoyed. "Keifer are you talking about?!" He asked in surprise. My eyes widened. I realized too late that I had said his name. I immediately covered Yuri's mouth. "Don't tell him." Yuri pushed my hand away and tried to move away but I didn't agree and I almost punched her in the mouth. "W-wait... Aw! S-stop!" She shouted. I still didn't stop. "Don't tell her! Promise me!" I shouted. "Aw! S-stop! P-please!" "Promise me! Don't tell me!" Yuri grabbed both of my hands. "I-I won't tell her... Just shut up." She pleaded. I took my hand back from her and we went back to walking. We had reached the third floor before we realized it. "You promised me that, huh?" I asked her. "Yes... I promise." She said and raised one hand. I smiled at her. We were done with the ï¬rst year building so we were going to the booths and stalls. "Let's go.." I told Yuri. She was walking slowly. It was like they suddenly put their house on her shoulders. She's a turtle now! "You're just excited to see Keifer..." he teased. I looked at him evilly. I slowed down my pace and even followed him. "Let's go now." I said and jumped up. He lightly bumped me with his arm. "Ayyyiiieeeehhh!!!..." He said. I immediately slapped him on the arm. It was really annoying. I felt like he wouldn't stop teasing me. "Stop that!" I said but he just laughed at me. "Keifer and Jay-jay... Kei'jay or Jay'fer." He said while gesturing with his hand. I scratched my head. Are we going to put our names together? What are we? Love Team on TV? The peg is just for artists. "Don't..." I said annoyed. "Why? He's cute." I slapped him hard again. He was making fun of me! "Ayyyiiieehhh... Keifer." He was teasing me again. I guess I shouldn't have said it. This little guy is really annoying . I didn't mean to say it. "Let's hurry up. I know you're excited to see her." He added before smiling silly. "Yuriii!!" I was annoyed at the mention of her name. But the shameless one laughed at me again. We reached the stalls and booths but they weren't there so we just waited for a while. We sat on the bench. "What if Keifer likes you too?" Yuri suddenly said. Shh. Impossible! "That's unlikely to happen." I answered. "Why?" Because it's still Ella and I don't want to get my hopes up. "Just! Let's not talk about things like that." I heard her sigh. I looked at her and noticed that she was looking up. I don't know if it was just me but Yuri 's eyes looked sad . "You Yuri... Don't you like anyone else? Besides Ella." I changed the subject. Her gaze shifted to me. "Someone..." "Who?" "I can't say yet." She answered me and smiled. Oh, it's thrilling! "Is that so? She's lucky whoever she is." "Why?" She asked me in surprise. "Because you're Yuri Hanamitchi and you can do a lot." I answered her while smiling. "I'm luckier when she likes me." "Why?" "Because she's one of a kind." She answered quickly. Her gaze was still ï¬xed on me. If I were just assuming, I would think she was referring to me. But of course that was impossible. I looked up to see the sky. There were so many stars! "The sky is beautiful." I said. "It's really beautiful..." Yuri said. Huh? I looked at her. She was already looking up and looking at the stars. I guess I looked the wrong way. She looked at me like she was looking at me when she spoke earlier, but maybe not. Ci-N and her friends had arrived and she immediately came over to me. "Why did it take you so long?" I opened it to them. "There are rooms that are open, we closed them." Eren answered me. We talked for a while about what we saw and where we went. We went back to the main building to change. It was already 3am , we would be home at 8am to take a shower and eat. When I got back to the room, I immediately went to bed. In the middle of all of them, Yuri and Keifer didn't want me to sit next to anyone. They said I was still a girl . That's why I was the dot in the middle of the letter O. "Good night Jay!" Ci-N greeted me. "Good night too!" I greeted back. I fell asleep right away, probably from exhaustion. I had only been asleep or about two hours when I woke up for some reason I couldn't understand. I turned around and even though it was dark, I noticed someone walking out the door. I was nervous, maybe we had been robbed without our knowledge. I got up and rubbed my eyes. I checked our things , it looked like no one had touched them. But there was nothing on their bed. Yuri and Keifer were also gone. I stood up and went outside, trying to look around. I was surprised that they were just nearby. Because it was so dark and the only light was the moon, I thought I'd just go back to the room. Until I heard the voices of two people talking. It was just nearby and I felt like it was just on the side of the room. If Keifer and Yuri weren't there, it could have been them. Come on! Our conversation! Maybe Yuri would tell us what we were talking about! I slowly walked to the side. I couldn't hear any more voices but I knew they were still there. Until I got closer and got a good look at them. That's all I expected to see. Yuri and Keifer were the ï¬rst things that came to my mind but they weren't. It would have been better if I was just seeing a ghost now. But this was more than a ghost! I've only seen something like this in my entire life! I couldn't help but be shocked. What's worse, people I know are doing it in front of me. They're kissing. . . . . Even though they're men. . . .
