Chapter-65 Assembly

Jay-jay's POV

"Hahahaha.. Did Keifer really do that?" Ci-N asked while laughing non-stop.

The shameless act of arrogance had already reached them. They also saw his black eye. I'm proud of that! I gave it to him!

He deserves that, Animal!

"Where did you get the PT?" David asked.

I looked at Denzel who was dumbfounded. But I couldn't tell them that yet.

"I just picked it up outside. I was curious so I took it."

"Don't pick up trash." Calix said, who seemed to be listening to us.

"Maybe it's yours. You just threw it away." Ci-N was surprised.

"Do I have a mattress to use it with?!" Calix asked irritably.

"No... But Mica does." Ci-N replied, a reason to get a slap. "..Oh."

"Mica's dad and I had a conversation. I won't do that." he explained.

"She introduced you to her parents?" David asked.

Calix blushed slightly and nodded.

"..That's what you look like?" I asked.

He still looks like a mess. Mica and I are okay now, but he still looks like that.

"Is there something wrong with my appearance?" He asked back.

David and Ci-N nodded together.

"Mica said it's okay." He said and took out his cellphone to look in the mirror.

"He just said that... But she's afraid that when you shave and wax, a lot of people will come after you." Ci-N teased.

Calix looked at him evilly. But after all, that's possible.

When Eman and I were at the restaurant, Mica always looked at Calix when talking to a female customer.

We can't blame him. It's a good thing we haven't heard that they're fighting yet.

"Guys! Assembly at 9 am!" Yuri announced.

I checked my cellphone for the time. It's already 8:45 am, can I be left here again? Just like before when Section D targeted me.

They eventually stood up and walked outside but I was still sitting.

"Come on Jay! What are you doing there?!" Ci-N called to me.

They stopped and looked at me. I didn't know but it seemed like I was waiting for something from them.

Someone touched my head. I looked to see who it was.

It was Yuri.

"Come on... You're one of us, so you should be one." He said and smiled.

I bit my lower lip hard. It felt good to hear the word 'one of us'. My annoyance with Yuri had completely disappeared. I stood up and approached Ci-N and David.

"Have fun now!" Kit greeted.

I knew they knew the reason. We headed straight to the gymnasium where the other sections were. When we entered, we looked at each other for a bit. But I didn't care what they looked at. Nothing would ruin my mood right now.

First row is Section A, then B and so on. We were at the back, of course we were the last Section. And since I was the only girl, I was at the front of the line next to Yuri. Keifer was separated, he was in front of us but with a distance.

How is that?

Our Guidance Counselor and Sir Alvin went up to the stage. Following were Ms. Laila Smith and others who didn't look like teachers.

"Good Morning!" Sir Alvin began. "...Let's start the Assembly for Fourth Year. Start with Section A."

I looked at Section A which was a bit far from us. Freya was at the front of the line separated like Keifer.

"Section A, representative Freya Hidalgo myself. Students report---- Zero suspension no violation. Home room report----New air condition needed. Suggestion----New room for Section A." Freya said without looking around her.

That's how they used to say reporting. They were all upset, need a new AC. They even want to move rooms. What a shame!

Section B followed, complaining about the CR near their room. They had two violators.

Rakki followed. She seemed lethargic. "Section C, representative Rakki San Diego, myself. Students report----1 suspension no violation. Home room report---New Ceiling Fan needed. Suggestion----None." Rakki said without looking around.

D followed, whose representative was a man. They had 5 suspensions and 7 violators. They were requesting a new room and their suggestion was the same.

I looked at Yuri who was looking straight ahead. "Yuri..." I began.

"...What's the difference between a Home room Report and a suggestion?"

"The Home room report is priority. That suggestion is just a suggestion from the representative, even if it's ignored."

I nodded. That's it! Keifer will speak.

"Section E, representative Mark Keifer Watson, myself. Student report----2 suspensions 4 violations. Homeroom report----None. Suggestion----None." Keifer explained boredly.

We have suspensions and violations? Who are they? And why didn't Keifer tell them about the trash in front of our room?

I grabbed him, causing him to turn to face me and I saw his black eye.

"What?!" He asked annoyed.

"W-why didn't you tell us about the trash in front of our room?"

"You want to know the answer to that? You're the one to report." He said and suddenly raised his hand to get the attention of those on stage.

"Yes? Mr. Watson." Sir Alvin asked.

He nudged me to tell me to speak.

"S-sir... Uhmmm... Home room report. The trash in front of our room----"

I wasn't finished yet but our Guidance Councilor immediately cut me off.

"Ms. Mariano, the trash is no longer being removed because your Section is suitable for that area." She said, causing the other students to laugh.

Okay... I know!

I went back to my seat, bowing my head. I was annoyed! I was embarrassed. This Keifer is a jerk. I'll add a black eye to his.

"Next topic... Festival!" Sir announced, causing the other students to shout.

There it is! Festival!

Sir Alvin called out to each Section.

"Section A!" "Program organizer!" Freya replied.

Sir also called out to the other sections and they answered. B is for sports, C is for booths and D is for security. Just like Sir said before.

"Section E!"

We waited for Keifer to say something. We knew he didn't want us to take on any more tasks. We had several meetings about it but we just kept fighting.

Keifer turned to us. We were talking to him the same way. He took a deep breath.

"Night security and garbage collector!"

We all said 'yes' and the other sections laughed. We don't care about you as long as we're going to the festival! Wooohhhh! Festival!

"Maybe we can go back. We're done!" Keifer told us.

"Can't we wait until it's over?" Yuri asked him.

"Sss." Keifer replied. It was obvious that he didn't want to stay here anymore. But it wasn't over yet, it would be rude if we left.

"We've got a change in the programs!" Ma'am Laila suddenly said. We looked at her and waited for her to say more. "...The King and Queen of HVIS will be removed."

The students immediately reacted. Freya was the first of them of course.

"What?"

"That's so ugly!"

"What are they going to replace?"

"SILENT!" Ma'am shouted, echoing throughout the gymnasium.

"...it will now be replaced by Mr. Ganda and Ms. Pogi, where the girls will dress as men and the boys will dress as women."

They all whispered. They slowed down and were afraid that Miss Laila would yell at them.

"Every Section should have a representative who will be presented at the Finals. Year level will compete in the Finals." she added.

Every section? Wait a minute! I'm the only girl here. That means...

"We're not in it." Yuri whispered.

He seemed to notice that I was suddenly scared. I was relieved, but why aren't we in it?

"Why?" I asked Yuri.

"Board members don't consider us anymore. It's a waste of effort and we won't win." She explained.

It's a good thing, I'm not interested in those pageant pageants. Maybe our Section would be embarrassed if I were the one competing.

"I have a suggestion!" Freya shouted while raising her hand.

"Yes? Miss Hidalgo." Ma'am Laila replied to her.

Why do I feel like I'm being punished for what Freya did? I feel like she's not going to say anything nice.

"Every Section should have a representative, right? Then Section E should have a representative." She said and looked at our line.

That's it! Freya really doesn't have anything nice to say.

"Freya, you know that Section E----"

"Yeah! I know that! But I think it's time for Section E to prove themselves!" She said while acting cute.

The people on the stages murmured for a moment, timing us.

Don't agree!

"If Section E will join the competition, which will it be?" SirAlvin asked.

"All of it!" Freya was proud of her answer.

"What?"

"Freya has gone crazy!"

"What are we going to do?"

The snakes complained. But Freya has really gone crazy. She probably wants to embarrass us in front of many people.
