Keifer POV
PE class was over.
The gym was still buzzing from what happened earlier.
Unfortunately.
😭
Felix was retelling the story for the twentieth time.
"And then they kissed."
"We were there, Felix."
Yuri said.
"But were you emotionally there?"
"Please stop."
😭
Meanwhile Ci-n was holding two phones.
His own.
And Jay's.
Then he blinked.
"...Wait."
No one paid attention.
"Wait."
Still nothing.
"GUYS."
Everyone looked over.
"What?"
Ci-n raised Jay's phone.
"Why do I still have this?"
Silence.
Felix frowned.
"Give it back to her."
"I WOULD IF I KNEW WHERE SHE WAS."
👀
The group went quiet.
Yuri looked around.
"She's not with Mila?"
Mila shook her head.
"No."
Matteo frowned.
"I thought she was with you guys."
Nope.
Not with them.
Not in the gym.
Not outside.
Not anywhere.
Keifer immediately stood up.
The joking disappeared.
"When did anyone see her last?"
The class exchanged looks.
Suddenly nobody was laughing anymore.
Because everyone remembered.
The last time Jay disappeared...
She vanished for days.
Ci-n swallowed.
"She went toward the changing rooms."
Keifer was already moving.
"Come on."
And naturally...
The entire class followed.
😭🔥
A few minutes later...
They reached the girls' changing room.
Nothing.
No answer.
No movement.
Then Rory noticed something.
"The door."
Keifer looked.
Locked.
From the outside.
Everyone froze.
Ci-n's face darkened.
"...Who locked it?"
Nobody answered.
The door refused to open.
Which was a problem.
Because it was made of metal.
And because Jay was trapped behind it.
😭
"Move."
Matteo stepped forward.
He grabbed the handle and pulled.
Hard.
Nothing.
"Well?"
Felix asked.
"It's still a door."
Matteo replied.
😭
Yuri stepped forward next.
"Let me try."
He pulled.
Pushed.
Shook it.
Nothing.
The door didn't even seem impressed.
Inside the changing room:
"IS IT OPEN YET?"
"NO."
"YOU'RE ALL USELESS."
😭🔥
The class immediately protested.
"HEY."
"WE'RE TRYING."
"TRY HARDER."
Meanwhile Keifer was staring at the lock.
Thinking.
Then he stepped forward.
"Again."
The three boys looked at each other.
Matteo.
Yuri.
Keifer.
Then all three hit the door together.
BANG.
Nothing.
Inside:
"I CAN STILL HEAR YOU FAILING."
😭
Felix was laughing.
Ci-n was pacing.
Mila was worried.
Rory was already investigating how the door got locked.
The boys tried again.
BANG.
The metal rattled.
Inside:
"FINALLY."
"NOT YET."
"YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME."
😭
One more attempt.
BANG!
A loud crack echoed through the hallway.
The lock gave way.
The door swung open.
Silence.
Everyone looked inside.
And there was Jay.
Hair slightly messy.
Uniform dusty.
Looking absolutely done with humanity.
😐
Nobody spoke.
Nobody moved.
Jay slowly stood up.
Then dusted herself off.
Then looked at the entire group.
A very dangerous look.
The kind of look that usually came before somebody suffered.
"Move."
Everyone moved.
Immediately.
😭
Jay stepped out of the changing room.
Keifer noticed something.
She wasn't limping much.
But not walking normally either.
Something was wrong.
Before he could ask—
Jay started walking away.
Fast.
Very fast.
The entire group watched her leave.
Felix blinked.
"...Where's she going?"
"No idea."
Mila answered.
"Should we stop her?"
"You stop her."
Yuri replied.
😭
Nobody volunteered.
Not a single person.
Because everybody knew that expression.
Jay was angry.
Very angry.
Then Ci-n suddenly realized something.
"...Wait."
Everyone looked at him.
"If she's that angry..."
A pause.
"...Someone's about to die."
😭🔥
The group immediately followed.
At a safe distance.
Not because they were brave.
Because they were curious.
And curiosity was the leading cause of Section 3-E problems.
Ahead of them...
Jay kept walking.
Focused.
Determined.
Annoyed.
Keifer narrowed his eyes.
Because suddenly...
He had a very good idea where she was going.
And if he was right...
Matilda was about to have a very bad afternoon.
