(Jay Jay's POV)
The moment the results were announced…
The school exploded.
Not literally.
But emotionally? Absolutely.
Students were screaming.
Laughing.
Crying.
Hugging.
Some even looked like they were about to faint from relief.
And right in the middle of that chaos…
Section E was celebrating like they just won a war.
Blaster jumped onto a bench dramatically.
Blaster:
"SECTION E PASSED!"
Felix grabbed him before he fell.
Felix:
"GET DOWN BEFORE YOU BREAK SOMETHING."
Ci N pointed dramatically at everyone like a commander.
Ci N:
"WE SURVIVED THE FINAL BATTLE."
Calix leaned against the wall laughing.
Calix:
"I can't believe it's over."
Eman stretched his arms.
Eman:
"I can finally sleep again."
Eran nodded seriously.
Eran:
"For three days straight."
Denzel clapped loudly.
Denzel:
"This calls for a celebration."
David crossed his arms calmly.
David:
"You all deserved it."
Josh looked like he might cry.
Josh:
"I actually passed physics."
Everyone started laughing again.
Meanwhile…
I was still staring at the result board.
Jay Jay Mariano — 95.9%
It still didn't feel real.
Jay:
"Keifer."
Keifer stood beside me casually.
Like scoring 99.9% was completely normal.
Jay:
"I got 95.9%."
Keifer smirked.
Keifer:
"Yes."
Jay:
"I'm actually smart."
Keifer:
"You always were."
Jay looked at him suspiciously again.
Jay:
"You're still suspicious."
Keifer sighed.
Keifer:
"Oh my god."
Jay:
"No seriously."
Jay pointed at him.
Jay:
"You teach me something."
Keifer nodded.
Jay:
"Yes."
Jay:
"And then magically it comes in the exam."
Keifer:
"That's called studying the syllabus."
Jay narrowed her eyes.
Jay:
"Hmmm."
Keifer leaned closer.
Keifer:
"Or maybe you're just good at remembering."
Jay crossed her arms.
Jay:
"Still suspicious."
He laughed.
Then suddenly the school principal's voice echoed through the speakers.
Principal:
"Attention students."
The entire courtyard went quiet.
Principal:
"Congratulations to everyone who successfully completed their final examinations."
Students clapped.
Some cheered loudly.
Principal continued.
Principal:
"As of today… your academic year has officially ended."
A pause.
Then—
Principal:
"Your holidays begin now."
The school exploded again.
Students screamed.
Some literally ran around.
Someone in another class shouted:
"WE'RE FREE!"
Blaster jumped again.
Blaster:
"SUMMER HOLIDAY!"
Felix laughed.
Felix:
"FINALLY."
Ci N dramatically dropped to his knees.
Ci N:
"FREEDOM."
Calix wiped imaginary tears.
Calix:
"This is the happiest day of my life."
Eman stretched again.
Eman:
"No school."
Eran nodded.
Eran:
"No homework."
Denzel grinned.
Denzel:
"No teachers."
David calmly added.
David:
"And no excuses now."
Everyone laughed again.
I looked at Keifer.
Jay:
"So…"
Keifer raised an eyebrow.
Keifer:
"So?"
Jay smiled slowly.
Jay:
"Holiday."
Keifer:
"Yes."
Jay:
"That means…"
Keifer:
"I'm scared."
Jay:
"That means snacks."
Keifer instantly shook his head.
Keifer:
"No."
Jay gasped dramatically.
Jay:
"Why are you like this."
Keifer:
"Because the doctor said you're still recovering."
Jay:
"That was weeks ago."
Keifer:
"Still counts."
Jay looked offended.
Jay:
"You're ruining my holiday."
Keifer smirked.
Keifer:
"Someone has to keep you alive."
Jay crossed her arms.
Jay:
"I hate you."
Keifer leaned closer slightly.
Keifer:
"No you don't."
Jay looked away.
Trying not to smile.
Meanwhile behind us…
Section E was already planning chaos.
Blaster clapped his hands.
Blaster:
"PARTY TONIGHT."
Felix nodded instantly.
Felix:
"Yes."
Calix looked excited.
Calix:
"At whose house?"
Ci N pointed dramatically at Keifer.
Ci N:
"WATSON MANSION."
Everyone looked at Keifer.
Keifer sighed slowly.
Keifer:
"No."
Blaster:
"Too late."
Felix laughed.
Felix:
"We're already coming."
Eman nodded.
Eman:
"Party."
Denzel added.
Denzel:
"Celebration."
David sighed.
David:
"You people are exhausting."
Jay leaned toward Keifer with a mischievous smile.
Jay:
"Looks like we're hosting."
Keifer looked at her.
Keifer:
"You planned this."
Jay smiled innocently.
Jay:
"Maybe."
Keifer shook his head.
But he was smiling.
Because after everything…
The exams.
The danger.
The chaos.
The hospital.
The fights.
For once…
Everything felt peaceful.
But knowing our lives…
That peace probably wouldn't last long.
