Jay POV
It had been two weeks.
Two quiet weeks.
Which, in HVIS terms, meant:
Something was definitely about to go wrong.
😭
School was slowly crawling toward mid-semester break.
And today, the teachers had officially announced it.
A test.
A big one.
The kind even Section E didn't pretend to like.
"Study hard," Sir Alvin said calmly.
The class reacted instantly.
"Sir, whyyyy."
"Noooooo."
"Sir, Already."
😭
He ignored them.
As usual.
Group discussions were encouraged.
Revision groups.
Study sessions.
Serious preparation.
And for exactly five minutes…
Everyone pretended they would behave.
Then chaos returned.
I met Mila near the courtyard.
She was already laughing before I even reached her.
"You survived another week?"
"Barely."
We sat together, talking nonsense like always.
Food somehow appeared in my hands.
I didn't question it.
Mila leaned closer.
"So… Keifer?"
I immediately choked on my drink.
"What about Keifer?"
"You smiled just now."
"No I didn't."
"You did."
"You're hallucinating."
😭
Before I could recover, Matteo appeared.
"You two are loud."
"You're everywhere."
"Yes."
That shut me up.
😭
We just talked.
Joked.
Argued about random things.
Normal school life.
And for once…
It actually felt normal.
Later, during class, I raised my hand.
"Sir, washroom."
Sir Alvin nodded.
I stepped out into the hallway.
Quiet.
Empty.
Too quiet.
My phone rang.
📱
Unknown number.
I frowned.
"Hello?"
Silence.
Not even breathing.
I checked the screen.
Still connected.
"Hello?" I repeated.
Click.
The call ended.
I stared at my phone.
"Weird."
I shrugged it off.
Prank, probably.
The next day.
Same thing.
Same number.
Same silence.
I answered.
Nothing.
Again.
This time I frowned harder.
"If this is a prank, it's bad."
Silence.
Then it ended.
Now it was just annoying.
I tried calling back.
No connection.
"Okay… that's creepy."
But I still didn't think too much of it.
Not yet.
Classes ended.
Students poured out like usual.
Noise everywhere.
Laughter.
Shouting.
Chaos.
But I stayed back for a moment.
Staring at my phone.
That number.
Again.
Something about it felt… off.
Not scary.
Just intentional.
I exhaled.
"Let's see what you want."
And I left.
Not toward home.
Not toward the main gate.
Somewhere else.
A quiet building.
Hidden away from the usual school crowd.
The kind of place you don't notice unless you already know it exists.
I stepped inside.
The air changed immediately.
Quieter.
Heavier.
More serious.
A man was already waiting.
Leaning back in a chair like he had been expecting me for hours.
The moment he saw me—
He stood.
Smiled.
"It's been a long time, Boss."
👀🔥
I didn't react immediately.
Just looked at him.
Then calmly replied:
"You called me."
His smile widened slightly.
"I did."
Silence.
The room felt smaller suddenly.
He tilted his head.
"You've been ignoring the line."
"I've been busy."
"School?"
I didn't answer.
That was enough confirmation for him.
He chuckled softly.
"You really did choose a normal life this time."
My eyes narrowed slightly.
"Say what you need."
The smile faded just a little.
Not gone.
Just sharper.
"Things are moving again."
My fingers tightened around my phone.
"And you're needed."
