Ang Mutya Ng Section E (Book - 1) English

Jay-jay's POV

I hesitated to enter. I feel like I prefer to stay at home and lock myself in my room.

It's deafening to think if I will follow what Aries says. I don't want to leave Section E, I consider them more than friends and classmates.

But I want to talk to Papa. When Aries gives me his contact number, I can talk to him.

"Why are you there? Maybe you're sick." Aunt Gema commented on me.

I was just standing at the gate. I was only one step outside but I chose to stop.

"I was just wondering if I forgot something." I excused.

"Is there?" She asked.

I shook my head in response.

"Come in... You might be late." Aunt encouraged me before smiling and entering the house.

Annoying!

I really don't have a choice. I was forced to go out of the gate and walk to our corner. I was still dumbfounded at first but when I got to the corner I straightened myself up.

I was wondering if I should walk or stop the jeep. I'm not in the mood to stop the car, I'm too lazy to walk.

Eh why?!

It's bad trip! I was just standing up when I heard a car horn. From the car parked near me-----wow! Get rich!

Nissan GTR!

If only I was rich and knew how to drive, that's what I would buy. Suddenly the door opened and the driver got out.

Has an impact!

how is it here? His car is new again. The cars are just like toys to him, as long as he changes them.

"Why are you here?" I opened to him.

"Following you." The King of Serpents answered quickly.

Why is that again?----stay away from them!

What Aries said just came to my mind. Should I stay away from them? In exchange for my chance to talk to Papa.

Suddenly, a finger snapped in front of me, causing me to wake up from my thoughts.

"You're spacing out!" Kiefer said.

I was about to speak but suddenly he grabbed my hand and pulled me like a child to the passenger seat of his car.

"Get inside!" He ordered while pushing me inside.

That's a great man! I was not even given a chance to act or speak. Just push the crook.

When he came inside, I looked at him badly.

"You can't push me like this!"

"Tss."

Oh my! It's really strong to feast!

The car started and both of us didn't move. I get used to his face. We might argue again about what else I can say to him.

I was just looking outside when I noticed something. We are not going to school!

"Hey! Where are we going?!"

He just looked at me for a moment and looked back at the road.

Son of...

"Hey! What is it?!"

"Just wait and see." He answered bored.

Take Tengen!

I was forced to keep quiet. I'm here with brother, he'll know that I'm not coming in anymore.

To be honest, his sermon has been saved for me. Just like the last few days, brother was busy so he couldn't even give me a sermon.

But I still don't want that. Maybe one day it will explode again in anger and I will be the one to blame.

Suddenly we entered a building. There was a tall gate, where Keifer reached for something and received it while standing at the tall gate.

Entering inside, it was very dark and there were many cars. It looks like a parking area. We drove around for a while before finding a sensible place for his very nice car.

I want this too.

Stopping, Keifer got off so I did the same. He quickly walked away so I quickly ran just to catch up with him.

He pressed something for a moment and his car rang.

Wow!

"What are we doing?!" I said to him annoyed.

He didn't answer again. It's not like someone's tongue has already been cut off. Not answering anymore.

We stopped in front of the elevator and waited for it to open. When it opened, Keifer immediately entered but I didn't follow or move.

"What are you waiting for?!"

"Answer to my question, Where are we really going?'" I answered him.

"I don't know! You can leave here!" He shouted at me and suddenly pressed the button to close the elevator door.

I rushed inside. I don't want to be left here, it's dark so maybe it's true what they say that there are snake people in the basement of buildings.

"Here I am! I wanted to say I was going to ride!" I said going inside.

"Tss."

He pressed the button with the letter G. I really have no clue what he was thinking.

When the elevator opened, I was greeted by the Christmas theme and loud music. Keifer went out so I followed.

Guess!

Are we at the mall?! I rolled my eyes. We are actually in the mall.

What are we doing here? What is Keifer planning?

"Jay-jay!" Someone called me.

Keifer and I both turned around. Eman, Edrix and Rory were the ones who opened up to me.

"It's been a long time... We've been here for a while." Edrix complained.

"Blame this girl." Keifer taught me.

Hm?!

I'm supposed to teach! It's really an animal.

"Come on... We have a lot to buy." Eman said.

They all walked. I still have no clue if we are really here at the Mall, and what do we need to buy?

"Eman!" I called and slightly ran closer to him. "...What are we doing here?"

I looked at it strangely. "Didn't Keifer tell you anything?"

No he didn't! That's why I'm asking!

I just shook my head in response.

"We're going to buy something to use in our Christmas party." He answered.

"Ha?"

As far as I know, Section E is not included in the school's Christmas Party. So why do we buy?

"We have our own celebration... Outside the school." Rory's groin.

"Where?"

"We haven't chosen a place yet... It used to be Keifer but Blaster and Keigan had an issue. That's why we have to change venues." Edrix explained.

They're fine too! As long as you want, nothing can stop you. In fact, they couldn't have a Christmas party, so they made their own party.

After all, I'm here to help. I just don't understand, why did they even include me.

We went to a decorating store. Complete with supplies, costumes are also available. Since Christmas is near, it's all about Christmas in their showcase.

"Get a basket..." Eman ordered me.

I did and so did Edrix and Rory. Eman is almost the only one shopping for things to use. Sometimes Edrix and Rory would teach but often they would just cause trouble.

Suddenly, someone handed me a small Christmas tree.

"This is beautiful..." Said the one who arrived----It was Ci-N!

He frowned and looked like an annoyed child. I turned to see Edrix, they were talking to Eren and....Kit.

"That's how we are! We walk without going together!" Ci-N said annoyed.

The child looked sullen.

"Keifer just picked me up. If I knew there was a way, I would have told you!" I explained to Ci-N.

"How are you going to tell me?! Pitty me!" He said like an old man with an exclamation. "...Eh, you always have no load!"

Oh... Yes! He has a point there, even if I want to say it, I can't say it either. I can't load anymore. I am saving because my money is still in the loan.

"I'm sorry!"

"Oh! That's how you are! You're only thinking about yourself!" He said as he walked out.

Crazy! Pulled out more.

"Alright... I'm going to set you free! That's why you're sulking!"

After I said that, he suddenly walked backwards back to his place earlier.

"Apology accepted." He said with a smile.

I winced. It's really different! We approached Edrix who was still talking to Eren and Kit.

I couldn't help but look at Kit. Then the picture of him and Mayo playing -----aarrrgghhh!

My goodness!

Don't think about it! Don't think about it! Don't think about it!

I was about to walk away when Eren grabbed the basket I was carrying.

"I'm..." He said and took the basket from me.

I just let him. Next was Kit who just tried to smile at me. I just noticed that his eyes were sad.

Did something bad happen?

I was left standing in my place. Almost all of them were looking for something to buy. Ci-N also went with Eman.

I just watched them. I want to watch them first, at least for a while. It will help me mentally. What should I really do?

In the short time we've been together, our bond has grown deep.

I was involved in their problems. At times they cried and laughed. We supported each other.

Even though the first few weeks we were together were not good, they recovered immediately.

I used to think that I would have a hard time in this Section because I was the only woman, but it turned out not to be the case. They accepted me as if I were really one of them.

I can't seem to trade them for anything else.

"Jay..." Someone called me.

I turned to my side and Keifer was looking at me with a mixture of surprise. He touched my cheek and that's when I felt that I had tears.

"Ah- nothing... I just went to bed." I slipped and wiped my tears.

"That's an old excuse." He said. "...Is it about your Dad?"

I shook my head. "No... Just something else."

"Okay... If you don't want to talk about it. Fine. I won't force you."

I thought he was going to leave but he remained standing next to me and watched our companions continue to tease.

To be honest, I'm still confused. So even though it's against my heart....

"Keifer..." I called him. "...what if you had a chance to get what you've wanted for a long time, but the replacement is what you have now. Would you still grab the chance?"

"It depends..." He answered quickly. "...if that thing that I want is worth it, why not?"

Worth it?

'...but..." He continued "...if the things that I have is much more worth it, I would not."

Much more worth it!

I fell silent and glanced at Ci-N. Who could be more valuable than them?

To me, my friends are more than just friends and classmates.

And my dad—the one I've longed to be with for so long.

Worth it?
