Jay-jay's POV
I didn't move from my seat. I just looked at them.
"Come out here!" shouted the most dramatic one, who looked like their leader.
"You're so shameless!" said the next most dramatic one.
"How dare you?!" the last dramatic one said angrily.
They were incomplete. The different one was missing. There were four of them earlier, now only three. Did they really think I'd come out?
"Why don't you just go in?" Kit suggested.
This guy is really in trouble with me!
"Eeww... No way! Your room is full of dirt and bacteria," the leader replied.
So that's why they're forcing me out. No way, why should I—
Someone grabbed my arm and dragged me outside.
"Face the mess you got yourself into," Keifer said.
We walked straight out, making the three coloring books smile widely.
"You! You're so thick-skinned!" their leader said, squinting her eyes at me.
"You need it... for your faces," I said, as if I was really concerned for them.
I heard Kit trying to hide his laughter. He quickly received sharp glares from the three.
"You come with us!" the leader said again, grabbing my arm.
Her grip was so tight I felt like her nails were digging into my skin. This was all Keifer's fault. He should've just left me outside.
"Ouch! That hurts!" I complained while struggling.
"You'll hurt even more later!" said the second most dramatic one.
I turned around and saw that Section E was following us. Wow! Looks like they even planned to watch the show the coloring books were about to put on with me as the main event.
We stopped in front of Aries. Oh no! I'm doomed!
I tried to remove the leader's hand from my arm, but she just tightened her grip, and I could really feel her nails digging in.
It hurts!
"Classmates!" the leader began, catching everyone's attention. They were all looking at us now. Even Aries was glaring at me. I glanced behind me and saw that Section E was indeed watching.
You're in big trouble, Jay!
"This girl!" the coloring book leader said, pointing at me.
"...She disrespected us in the restroom. Me! I am Freya Hidalgo! And this girl violated me!" She suddenly poked my forehead, almost snapping my neck back, and I felt her nails dig into my scalp.
"Ouch!" I complained, holding my head.
"You deserve that! You didn't respect us!" shouted the second most dramatic one. You can be Canvas-1!
"Yeah... Do you even know who we are?" added the last dramatic one. You are Canvas-2!
Their faces were covered in so much makeup, they looked like paintings in a museum.
I pretended to think, even though I really wasn't.
"No," I quickly answered.
Freya, who I now knew was their leader, clutched her chest as if she were deeply hurt. I saw Kiko laughing, but Aries was still glaring at me.
"So that's why you had the audacity to disrespect us..." Freya said, pretending to wipe away tears.
She turned to her classmates.
"...Section A, look at her! Look at this disrespectful girl!"
Oh, so she's from Section A too. It wasn't obvious.
"Can I go back to the room now?" I asked innocently.
We just looked like idiots standing here. This whole scene they made was pointless.
"No! You'll stay here!" Freya shouted.
"You should be punished! You disrespected the Queen Bee!" added Canvas-1.
"Huh?"
"Freya! Before you punish her, I think you should know who she is," Kiko interrupted.
Whew. I thought he was going to play the hero and help me out.
They already know who I am!
"And so? Who is she? She's just a transferee," Canvas-2 replied haughtily while rolling her eyes.
Wow! Roll your eyes even more!
"She's my cousin," Aries said in a bored tone.
Shit! Is this the moment Aries will finally help me? Is he finally proud enough to announce to everyone that I'm his cousin?
"...but that doesn't mean she's immune to your punishment," he added.
Wow! Just wow!
I really thought he would defend me and say, "She's my cousin, so just leave her alone." Of course, that wasn't going to happen, but I still hoped.
"OMG! Did you hear that, girls? Even though she's Aries' cousin, it's useless," Freya said dramatically.
Should I smack her? Her face is annoying, and so is the way she talks.
They say if you're not pretty, at least be nice. But these girls? Not pretty, and not nice either.
"Girls?" Freya said, and then Canvas-2 walked away.
She went to a place I didn't recognize, but when she came back, she was holding a bucket filled with dirty water. Looked like mop water.
"Jay-jay... I want to explain to you the system here at HVIS. The first thing you should know is that Section A is the royalty section. We get all the privileges here. Of course, we're the best at everything. That's why DISRESPECTING US is a huge mistake," Freya explained.
Shoooot! Looks like this is the end for me.
"...and since the other sections are here, let me introduce them to you," she added. That's when I noticed that the other sections had indeed gathered around us. I saw Rakki with a worried expression.
"...Section B, they are known for being 'DILIGENT.' Diligent in everything. Cross them, and you'll also get diligent... diligent in running away from them when they start bullying you."
I saw a group of students smiling and high-fiving each other. They must be Section B.
"...Section C. I have nothing to say about their section. They're kind, but they're kind only to those who are kind to them. But try to treat them like a b*tch, and you'll encounter HELL."
I looked at Rakki and the others, but they didn't seem proud of what Freya said. To me, they really were kind, despite how embarrassing our first meeting was.
"...Section D. Actually, Section D is almost the same as Section E. The only difference is that they still have hope in life. They have a chance to improve. And I like Section D because they follow Section A," she said with a wink at a group of students.
In other words, Section D are A's followers. Wow! Just wow!
As if I cared about anything she was saying. I had no intention of making friends with them. She was just wasting her breath explaining all this.
"You understand everything I said, right?" Freya asked me.
I only gave her a small nod.
"You forgot something, Freya..." Aries said, arms crossed.
"Oh yeah... Thank you for reminding me, Aries," Freya turned back to me.
"...Section E..."
I could feel the presence of Section E, along with their heavy aura.
Looks like trouble is brewing.
"...That's your section, so you should remember it. That section is the trash of society. The school board doesn't even consider that section anymore. You fit right in there because you're just like them. Hotheaded, disrespectful, going nowhere in life, and never backing down from a fight."
Could she make it any clearer that Section E was the most worthless of all?
This girl is so full of herself just because she's in Section A.
What was she again? Queen Bee?
Queen of the bees?
No wonder she's so noisy. She buzzes in my ears like a bee.
"Told you so... She really fits in that section," Aries said loud enough for me to hear.
I clenched my fists. I wasn't mad at what Aries said. I was mad because Section E was being humiliated in front of everyone. Sure, they already knew that, but it still felt different hearing it said out loud, especially now that I was part of them.
"Are you done?" I asked Freya.
I was struggling to keep my cool. I felt like I could hurt her at any moment.
"Yeah..." She smiled and turned back to the other students. "...I don't want to be called cruel, so I'll give you a deal."
I heard the two Canvases laughing.
"I won't embarrass you, as long as you kneel and apologize to me."
Wouldn't that still be embarrassing for me?
"That's all..."
"That's too easy, Freya!"
"That's way too easy!"
Freya's classmates shouted.
Easy? Then why don't you do it?
"Yeah... They're right. Uhmmm... Okay, you'll kneel, say sorry, then kiss my shoe, and also..."
Whoa! That's way too much humiliation.
"That's enough, Freya," Kiko said.
It was obvious that he wasn't happy with what Freya was doing.
Are you concerned about me? Ayyiieeeehhhh!
Too bad this wasn't the time to feel giddy. I was seriously getting pissed off by this girl's face.
"Hmmm... Okay! If you said so. Babe," Freya replied to Kiko.
Babe? Babe?! BABE?!
My heart hurts. Just kidding, but still, I had a crush on Kiko, so that kinda stung.
"So, Jay-jay... What can you say?"
Fvck you! Is what I can say!
"What if I don't do what you want?" I asked.
"I don't know... maybe you'll suffer from our punishment?" she answered in a questioning tone, but it was obvious she was just acting.
Tss. Drama queen!
I glanced at Canvas-2, who was putting something into the bucket she grabbed earlier. I didn't see what it was, but I had no intention of getting near it.
What do I do? How do I get out of this mess I got myself into? T_T
