Jay-jay (POV)
It's been two days; I locked myself in the room...my heart feels heavy; my tears are dry. Tita Gemma will come to me more than my mom. She will knock on my door to check if I'm alive or not, but I had ignored her. I knew she didn't do anything to me, but my wounds are still fresh; I just can't see her face... she will leave food at the door. You could say she's like a mom... Then my real mom, who didn't notice me... I can't even taste my food… But you knew you needed food to cry, so I had to fill my stomach to survive, so I have some... Who could have thought one day you would wake up and have a twin brother and a stepbrother? What would he be like? Will he like me?? Or he's like a handsome freak like Percy or a horoscope sign like Aries... I don't know, but I would like to know. I'm jealous; at least he got love from his father, unlike me.
My phone keeps buzzing, so I gaze at it... There are so many texts from Section E saying sorry, mostly asking for forgiveness...
from C-IN
Missing you, ate…come to school.
I keep checking Keifer's messages...or calls...maybe he loved me in the meantime of the plan; I had read plenty of novels and comic books...or he had a reason to push me. Why didn't I think of that? Maybe he had a reason…because I saw love in his eyes...every time he looked at me, I could sense it... He didn't say a word when he came home... Maybe I can still have hope... Even Precy doesn't text me or call me.
I quickly took a shower, put on my school uniform, and skipped brushing my hair. As I stepped into the hallway, I saw Aries standing outside my door, his face furious and his posture tense.
I tried to walk past Aries and ignore him, but he suddenly grabbed my collar and pinned me against the wall. He looked ready to start a fight, so I braced myself, prepared to fight back if he wanted.
"What is your problem??" I shouted angrily at him while pushing him.
He glared at me fiercely and asked, "Why didn't you tell me Percy is alive?? and you keep talking to him…while you knew everything about the accident four years ago…you could have said it to me," he said and grabbed my collar again.
Then I held his collar and pulled him and looked into his eyes angrily and asked, "Then why didn't you tell me you're my brother…or I'm an illegitimate daughter...Do you also know that I have a twin brother...?" I removed my hand from his collar.
"I didn't tell you because I don't want you to think of me as a brother…because I don't need a sister like you…After you tried to..." he said. I tried to control my tears, but they were falling... I punched him in the face.
"STOP IT! WHAT ARE YOU BOTH DOING???" Kuya Angelo yelled while pulling each other. Tita Gemma and Mom followed him.
I didn't answer him; instead, I took my bag. "I'm going to school," I said and walked away, without looking back. I walked to school because you knew that, because of that accident, my bike was broken, so I had to walk to school. When I reached school, everyone was whispering about what had happened.
"It's her."
"The section-E girl who got dumped by Kiefer."
"Did he use her?"
I keep ignoring them, and I wake up in the Section E building. Before going in, I looked at the sky and took a deep breath, and I didn't cry anymore. I stopped when I saw C-in and David talking to each other.
"She still doesn't know about Bet...if she knew, she would not even look at our faces," C-in said while rubbing his cheek with the back of his hands.
b-bet??? What bet are they talking about?? Do I still have something I need to know about?…
"What are you both talking about?" I asked while walking towards them.
"jay-jay"
"Jay-jay"
They spoke one after another. CIN's face was filled with fear, and David's face was filled with worry. They approached me... I took a step forward…and asked, "What b-bet??"
They looked at each other...and panicking, Cin tried to smile…and said, "Nothing, we are talking about a Pokémon game, Jayjay...we have a bet on a game," Cin said while avoiding my eyes... Then I knew they still had something they were hiding from me... David avoided my eyes, looking at the window.
I smiled a bitter laugh; almost he believed me, but I stepped closer to him and held his chin, and he turned to me and said, "Now tell me, what is BET?!?"
He started crying; I turned to David…he tried to avoid me. "Please…David??" I asked him, almost begging him to say
"Section E had a bet that you would g…give in to K...Keifer," he said while rubbing the back of his neck.
I could understand. I felt like there was something thrown in my mouth that I couldn't even talk about… But I needed to know, so I asked him, "You mean that I have s…sex with him? " I almost cried, but I couldn't because I don't want to look weak.
He nodded.
Without saying anything, I walked towards the room. When I stepped into the room…
"jay-jay"
"She is here."
"jay-jay"
Everyone is looking at me while smiling and rose from the chairs...however, my focus is all on Kiefer...he's sitting in his chair while folding his hands on his chest... I walked towards him… I keep replaying David's words about Bet... Every part of my body is telling me to run away to Outside, but I wanted to hear from him that he loved me... I don't want to back down now after everything...I stood in front of him. "I need to talk to you," I said in a framed voice without shaking because I dont wanted to cry in front of him.
His grin widened, and he stood from his chair. "What is it?" he asked.
"I wanted to know that maybe you have a reason to push me?? Tell me if I can help you." I took a deep breath. "Don't say you don't love me..I still love you.... I knew you, Keifer. I can see that in your eyes…when you said, "I love you," you really meant every damn word," I said while biting my lips to control my tears. Everyone is looking at me; I know they pity me, but I don't need their pity now. I want to only hear his answer…but he laughed so loud… I was scared to hear his answer now.
"You came to school to ask me that…let me guess that you thought I would fall in love with you while I was in the plan," he laughed while shaking his head.
I wanted to step back and run away from the room because now i dont want to hear. I knew what he was going to say; I'm already regretting that I came to school.
He walked towards me and held my chin and lifted it and said, "You're desperate, Jay...you've never received love…so it's easy for me, or maybe I was really great at acting so that you believed me completely," he said while trying to kiss me. I pushed him. My eyes are almost teary... I rubbed my eyes.
"Do you know about Bet??" I asked…Everyone was whispering, but I felt like there were only two members in this room: only me and him. For a second, he avoided my eyes… Then I knew that he already knew who we were talking about: the president of section E.
"Of course you knew…then you never loved me at all…y-you just wanted my body," I said while spreading my arms.
I saw his eyes; they are teary… I pulled his collar and looked into his eyes. "Tell me, Kiefer...if you still say that you love me, I will forget everything, the plan? Bet everything…tell me it is a lie…tell me," I said while hitting him with my hand on his chest. The tears I've been holding from earlier are falling. My breath becomes heavy. My legs are shaking... I can't even stand properly... I don't want to show him that he finally broke me…but he is silently tearing my heart.
"Are you done?" he said while he wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me close to his chest like he wanted to become one and kissed me. I couldn't understand for a second, but I wanted to respond to his kiss. Then he stopped kissing and grinned at me.
"See, you're still so easy to manipulate...How can you even think that Mark Keifer Watson would love a girl who looks like a tomboy? Even your own family doesn't want you. Your brother doesn't want to say you're his sister...Then how can I love someone like you?" he said.
After hearing his words, everything went black. I stepped back... I wanted to walk out... I almost lost my balance... Emma... helped me... but I hit his hand and said, "Congratulations!!" You won the bet... See, I'm completely broken beyond repair," I said while looking into everyone's face in the room.
Sir walked into the room… He put his books on the podium and asked, "Is everything okay?"
"Okay, sir," I said and sat in my chair.
