Jay-jay's POV
Too bad, I'm already engaged to Yuri.
But he knows that I love Keifer! Oh lord, why did I even accept the proposal! Ugh, Yuri knows to ruin everything..
NOW I FEEL LIKE I'M A TWO TIMER! YURI, I SWEAR I'M GONNA KILL YOU!!
I looked at the ring on my finger, I sighed, "I've to do this for a while," I said to myself.
My phone buzzed, Ci-n?

[Hoy Jay! I'm soo excited to see you! Meet me at school, I've something important to tell you]
Back to school already? Something important? well alright.
I got up from my bed and went straight to the bathroom to shower. I changed into my HVIS uniform, wore socks and combed my hair with my fingers, of course I hate combs. I grabbed my bag. I was going to open the door, but I heard two people talking right outside my door. Kuya Angelo and Aunt Gema? I decided to open the door.
The second I opened the door, they stopped talking and looked at me.
I scratched my head and greeted them, "Good morning, Aunt Gema," I didn't greet Kuya.
"Good morning, Jay," Aunt Gema greeted me.
"Jay, go eat breakfast," Aunt Gema said with a smile.
I nodded and went down stairs. I went straight to the dining table and saw my stupid cousin of mine already eating. I sat on a chair, placed my bag on the floor and ate.
Aries kept glancing at me. "Do you have to say something?," I asked him.
"You're the one who needs to say something," he replied still glancing at me.
What? I looked at him with confusion.
"What?,"
"What's your decision? Are you still gonna stay in that stupid section of yours?," he asked me.
Here he goes again. Why does he hate Section E so much? And does he think that he can make me leave? Of course not, Kuya Angelo wouldn't allow it anyways.
I didn't answer, I continued to eat. I noticed how Aries got annoyed.
He suddenly stood up, "If you have followed me, you wouldn't have been set up to this engagement," he said before walking away.
I mimicked him, does he really have to bring that up? This engagement is fucked up.
I stopped thinking about the engagement and finished my meal. I picked up my bag and left. I walked outside and saw Aries still there, talking to someone outside the gate.
I'm sure its the rooster.. Tsk, I can walk!
I approached them, "Yuri.. Why are you here?"
He had his arms crossed while leaning on his car. He immediately smiled, classic rooster.
"I'm here to pick you up!" He said.
He was about approach me but Aries suddenly blocked me and hid me behind him. Didn't know horoscopes were this protective..
"She's not coming with you... Leave." Aries said with his eye brows knitted together.
"You're not the one who will decide here." Yuri replied.
"Aries.. Its uhmm okay, I also want to talk to Yuri." I turned to Aries.
He sighed and stepped aside, allowing me to go with Yuri. Yuri opened the car door for me and I immediately got in.
As soon as the car door closed, he immediately got in. I felt Aries's glare at us as soon as the car started.
"So, have you and Angelo talked?" He asked.
I shook my head. "No... I don't want to talk to him yet."
"Sorry.. I should've told you about it from the start. I didn't want to force you, so I tried to make an effort." He explained.
So that's why he had to go sown on one knee and all of that. That was it! Tsk!
I touched the ring on my finger.
"How are we going to tell Section E?"
"I.." He took a deep breath. "I already thought about it. Its better if we don't tell them for now."
I looked at him in confusion. "Why?"
"Its for the sake of our Section. It will be chaos if they find out. Especially now, all of them think Keifer has feelings for you too."
Well...
"Its true.." I murmured only for me to hear.
"Huh, what did you say?"
"U-uhh, nothing." I smiled at Yuri.
"Anyways.. what do you think?"
"You're right... It will be a total chaos if they find out."
I wasn't sure if I should tell him or not. But this situation is really tough. Now, it just seems like I'm playing with him.
I glanced at the ring on my finger again. They shouldn't see this. They'll keep asking about it, Especially Ci-n.
I took of the necklace I was wearing.. the one Poseidon gave me during the Christmas party. I still don't know who it was really from. But it looked pretty, so I decided to wear it.
Then, I removed the ring as well. I slipped the chain through the rings hole, turning it into a pendant, and carefully wore the necklace back on.
"Great idea!" Yuri commented, smiling at me.
I smiled back at him. The ride became silent. Thanks to the traffic.. damn it! first day of school after Christmas, it only made things more awkward inside the car.
There were moments where I would glance at him, and he would glance at me back. We'd smile at each other, and that was it. Then we'd do it again.. and again, even though honestly, we looked like idiots.
"This is awkward." He said with a small chuckle. "..You know what? We don't have to take this engagement too seriously. We still can treat each other the same way as before."
"What?"
"No pressure. Let's think about the engagement whenever we're together. Just act like the same Jay-jay I know." He said smiling at me.
I smiled as well. That's right! Why should we overthink about the marriage? It was not even my plan.
"You got that right!" I turned to him and smacked his head, hard.
"Ow! what was that for?" He asked, rubbing the part I've smacked him.
"You said act the same way I always do.." I replied, raising my fist for a punch.
"Hoyy! I'm driving, we might get into an accident."
I lost my chance...
I lowered my fist and saw him rubbing his head, and for some reason, we ended up laughing.
"You punch hard! You're even stronger than me.." He said.
"That's your fault."
The awkwardness faded a little. Even the pressure from this damn engagement seemed to disappear. I preferred it this way.
This is how we used to be.
The car stopped at the school parking lot. As I unbuckled my seat, I thought we were about to step out of the car but Yuri grabbed my arm.
I knew what he was up to.
"I forgot something." He said.
He leaned to kiss me on the lips but I suddenly covered my lips with my hand.
Nope, not today!
Yuri looked shocked as he pulled away. I don't want to be a Two-Timer..
"I-I'm sorry.." He apologized.
"Its.. okay, I just want to say that....." I paused and sighed. "I'm not comfortable with this... engagement."
Yuri's eyes widened, "Then why did you accept the proposal?"
"I just no other choice..." I gulped as those words came out of my throat.
I hurried to get out. While walking, I suddenly stopped noticing Yuri was not by my side. I sighed, Sorry.. I'm really sorry, Yuri.
I saw Ci-n stepping into the main building. I ran to him by calling his name. Ci-n turned to look at me and ran toward me.
"JAY-JAY!!"
"CI-N!!"
We both hugged each other. We both acted like we didn't saw each other on the Christmas break. The other students were looking directly at us, but as always we didn't care.
"I have something to tell you!" He pulled away from the hug and stepped into the main building with me.
"What is it?" I asked.
"We're having another classmate!" He said as he hopped like a bunny with his little legs.
"WHAT?!"
Ci-n turned to me, "Yeah! I can't believe it too!"
Then I just asked some random questions like Gender, Age, etc. He just shook his head as a no.
"I don't know."
We stepped into the Section E classroom and everyone was discussing about something. I grabbed their attention.
"Jay-jay!" David patted my head. "How was your holidays?" He asked.
"Not bad.." I replied.
"Did you know about the new transferee?" He asked.
I looked at the Kings chair but he wasn't there, I shook my head as a no.
"Nope, do you?" he shook his head as well.
"I'll be out for a minute." I said and stepped out of the classroom. We had 10 more minutes till class starts, but instead of seeing the King, I saw a lady with black chest length hair and bangs, High knee length socks and a hoodie over her uniform, glancing at her phone, confused. Bag hanging on her shoulder.
She wore no make-up, kinda tanned and had brown lips.. she looks like a tomboy.
New transferee?
She looked forward and noticed my looking at her.
"Uhh Miss? Is this Section E?" She asked, glancing at me.
"Uhhh yeah.. new transferee?"
She just nodded her head and smiled at me. Ci-n and David interrupted our little conversation.
Ci-n paused after seeing the new transferee, and so as the new transferee.
"KRISTINE?!"
"CI-N?!"
They both looked shocked and hugged each other like they haven't seen each other for years. I felt a little jealous over her.
They both pulled away from the hug and looked at each other again. David also looked confused.
"Who's this, Ci-n?" He asked.
Ci-n turned to David. "She's my childhood friend.. we haven't seen each other for years.." He replied.
"I actually texted you last week." The so-called new transferee said.
"Oh come on! that was just a text.. its been 6 years."
"Wait.. 6 years!?" David and I looked at each other.
"Yeahh.. I kinda had to go to the US for my studies." The new transferee said.
"Hey guys, uhh what happened? who's this." Keifer asked looking at the new transferee confused.
"She's the new transferee." David replied.
"Who?" Keifer asked again.
The bell rang.. the school has officially started. We all entered class as we saw Sir Alvin walking towards our class. All eyes were on the new transferee. I sat on my seat beside Keifer.
Sir Alvin entered the class and smiled at the new transferee.
"Kristine, right?" He asked and the new- or Kristine nodded.
"Great timing! Well introduce yourself to the class!"
She turned to us, "I'm Kristine Manalo Williams, you guys can call me Kris"
Her name is too American but also Filipino as well.
"I transferred from Rosewell Academy in LA. I'm half American half Filipino."
"Does anybody have any question for Kristine?" Sir Alvin asked but nobody moved.
"Alright then, uhh would you mind me calling you Kris, Kristine?" Sir Alvin turned to Kristine.
"Its alright.. since nobody have any question about or for me, can I take a seat?" Kristine asked.
"Of course!" Sir Alvin replied with a smile.
Kristine sat on a seat next to Ci-n, phew.. not on my old seat.
