One Roof With Five Hot Jerks
Chapter Twenty-three

Maxine's Point of View

"I'm going," OMG. I can't stay any longer here. I stood up and picked up the manga I was reading as well.

Annoying! I even thought no one would bother me but it's just what I thought. And it was Louis all the people! Moreover, what did he do before? Did he think I was thrilled? Not so, just a little. Tch. Before I could turn my back on him he held my hand causing me not to continue, "Where are you going? I thought you were going to read?"

I glared at him, "Earlier I wanted to read but when you came, I changed my mind."

He pouted and he's so fucking cute! Okay, even if I have a crush on him my heart won't soften with him. I still can't forget that he sided with Ferries more than me! "That hurts," he said with matching touch to his chest.

Wow! He really acted like that, huh? How else did I feel when they all sided with that ugly Ferries? Argh. Every time I remember that day, I am still disgusted and hurt.

I violently pulled my hand away from his grasp, "I don't care. I'm leaving and don't ever follow me!" I told him before I finally turned my back.

I breathed a sigh of relief when I got out of the library but my heart skipped a beat when someone suddenly grabbed my shoulder. Gosh, why am I getting so jumpy? I don't even drink coffee.

I turned to the person who holding my shoulder and guess who? None other than Louis. I've told him before not to follow, but he doesn't seem to have heard anything. Is he deaf or does he just not really intend to do what I said? I frowned, "What? I said don't follow me, right?"

"I won't if you'll let us go home together later," he said.

Go home together later? Oh, my fucking gosh! Don't tell me... he's in love with me?

I was immediately shaken by my thought. What is this happening to me? What did I eat this morning why are my thoughts like this? It's Louis'fault! Why is he doing the covering of the book earlier and his face is even closer to mine. Grr! "Why would I do that?" I rolled my eyes.

"Come on. Just this one, okay?" His eyes glow when the sunlight hits them.

I heave a sigh. I will pretend that I had no choice but to say yes to him so that he would stop. However, the truth is that I really want to go home with him.

"Fine," I said. "So, stop following me anymore." I added before I turned my back to him.

As I walk back to the classroom, I hug the manga I read earlier while there is a wide smile on my lips. Well, I'll just lie and I'll only fool myself if I say I'm not happy to what Louis'suggested.

Even though I don't know the reason why he wants me to go home with him, my heart is still happy. I don't know, maybe I really like him. I never had a chance to tell Angela about it because Ferries and her ugly henchmen came into our lives.

I don't have someone to talk about these things. I have no choice but to just keep it all to myself: the anger, the thrill, the joy, the sadness and other feelings I have. But it's okay because it looks good too, because nowadays it's hard to trust someone especially when you've only just met. Based on my experience.

"Look, Ferries."

I heard someone speak, I looked at who was speaking and immediately lost my smile when I saw Ferries and her pets.

Ferries smirked, "Smiling like an idiot?"

She's talking to me but instead of hitting her I just continued walking again. I don't have time for ugly people like them. But I hadn't gone far yet, when someone was blocked my way.

"Oh, wait!" One of Ferries'pets interrupted, "We're still talking to you, girl. How dare you show your back to us?"

"Then, who are you to blocked my way?" I asked her with a raised eyebrow.

"W-What?" Her nose seemed to be smoking to the dismay of what I said.

Her other companions as well as Ferries sided with her. Ferries really moved to the center then moved forward to be my counterpart. She stared at me from head to toe and smiled at me as if teasing.

"I don't have to worry about you take Alyn away from me," and she glared at me again before continuing, "Because I see that he won't like you. You're not his type."

"And his not my type either," I smirked. "The feelings are mutual. Besides, the monkey is just for the monkey. Then, if you'll excuse me." I spoke before I walked past her. I bumped their arms as they blocked my path.

Tch. What do I care if that demon Alyn likes me or not? I won't like him either! Arg. That Ferries and her pets are so annoying. I would have had a nice day if I hadn't just met them.

Time to go home. I'm excited to go home because Louis and I talked earlier, even though I'm not sure if he really planned to come with me, or he just said that because he was just bored.

I immediately put my belongings to my bag and slung my bag over my shoulder. I turned to the door and frowned. What's up and why the students seemed to be in a commotion? You will think a celebrity came because of the crowd.

I took a courage to fit myself to the crowd so that I could get out of the room. It was crowded and hard to huddle but I finally got out. Thank goodness!

I finally found out the reason of the group of students and the start of the commotion when I saw who was the man waiting outside the classroom door.

"Louis?" I whisper to myself. Could not believe of what I witnessed.

The beautiful smile flashed on the man's face when he saw me. He approached me while I gaze wandered to the crowd. And look! They are looking at me evilly it was as if they wanted to stab me just by their deadly gaze. "Shall we?" Louis laid out his palm in front of me. But instead of reaching for it, I just slapped it reasons to lose the smile on his lips.

"I can walk," I said and went ahead to walk.

He followed me as I walked. While walking, I noticed that everywhere I looked, someone is watching us. It's Louis'fault, just look at him. Even though I was speeding up, he was still trying to keep up with me. Can't he just walk behind me? Doesn't he feel anything? Is he numb? Aish!

I am so thankful when we finally get out of the gate. But there are still a few who look at us.

"Let's go," he said and walked ahead to get me to open the door to the shotgun seat of the van which they always rode with his cousins.

"Thanks," I said and went inside.

I was almost depressed and seemed to want to get out of the van immediately when I saw four monkeys in the interior rear view mirror. I turned to Louis when he got into the driver's seat, I wanted to ask why we were with the four of us but what else can I expect.

Gosh. Why didn't I immediately think that they always go home at the same time?

"Hi, Tardy!" Byron greeted me, "You said no to me but said yes to Louis? That hurts."

"I just agreed for him to stop following me," I made an excuse even if that's not true.

"Our Missy is liar~" Sid teased. I just rolled my eyes and ignored him. So what if I am? As if he could do anything with that.

"We missed you, Yanny!" Giles exclaimed in excitement.

"I don't miss you," I whispered to myself. And thankfully they don't seem to have heard that. It's good that they are deaf.

On our way, they are just talking at the back, of course the loud ones are Giles, Sid and Byron because Alyn is always quiet and you will think that he is always mad with the world. Louis, on the other hand, was just laughing while driving. He laughs at the three monkeys arguing over what they played on their mobile phones.

As I endured the noise of the three monkeys in the back I accidentally glanced in the interior rear view mirror. Instead of the three monkeys being struck by my eye, Alyn was struck by my sight.

Alyn was silent as he looked out of the car. He had headphones in his ears, so that maybe he wouldn't hear the noise of the three.

As I stared at him, I just noticed that he was also handsome. He has a squareshaped face which emphasizes his jawline, black hair, thick eyebrows, long eyelashes, black-coloured eyes, pointed nose, reddish lips, broad shoulder and lastly his Adams apple. Every time he swallows, you can clearly see its movement. If I were just one of his fans, I would say he's hot. Unfortunately, I'm not one of them.

Those are maybe the reasons why there are so many people whose getting crazy over him. Well, I didn't notice that he's handsome. How about that? He always frowned, so I didn't notice that he had features like that. His thick eyebrows always meet and then his eyes and aura are always dark. Sometimes I feel like as if I am a virus because he can't even look at me. I don't know if he meant that, or he just didn't really care about my presence. So I really feel like if ever we're the only ones left in the world it's still vague that we'll be friends.

But now his face was gentle maybe it's because he's listening to music or maybe he just misses the ugly Ferries?

My chest jumped in panic as he looked in the rear view mirror where I was watching him. For sure, he saw me staring at him!

I immediately averted my gaze and just turned my eyes outside By the time we got home my heart was still speeding. I immediately got out of the car and started walking, I could feel them following behind me.

We were near the door of the mansion when I noticed that they had stopped walking. I turned to them and saw that they were just looking at me. I just shrugged and turned my back on them again. They'll take care of it as long as I go inside.

When I opened the door a gallon of mud poured on me. My white uniform has turned brown. It was as if I was drowned in mud because of how I looked. I could also feel the mud dripping down my face from my head. At the same time as I opened my mouth in shock, the men behind me laughed.

I slowly turned to them. Sid, Giles and Byron seemed to be dying of laughter while Alyn and Louis just looked at me seriously. If Alyn doesn't seem to care, Louis seems to pity me. "Damn! It's so hilarious!" Byron who was relentless in laughter.

"Do you... HAHA!" Sid couldn't continue what he was going to stay because of his laughter.

"Louis really don't want to go home with you," Giles said laughing, he even hold his stomach. "It was all planned, Yanny. This is our revenge on you, you love it?" His smile didn't fade.

I closed my fist. I want to explode in anger! My chest was tight and I felt like crying.

I looked at Louis. I can't help but get hurt. For the nth time, I feel betrayed.

It was all planned? Is this the reason why they approached me one by one? To avenge on me? Fuck! If I only knew I wouldn't have agreed to go home with them. They just made me believe at first that they were sincere but this is really what they wanted to happen.

I'm so stupid to believe them. Yes, I showed and made them feel that I did not believe what they were saying. But deep inside, I hoped it would be true that they were concerned on me. But after this, all the hopes were gone. Because I immediately sent my feelings so this is what happened. If I hadn't been so stupid, it wouldn't have happened.

It's tiring. I'm getting bullied at school. I have no friends to talk to and even at home I have no ally. When I was ready to be open to them, this is what happened. When I thought we would finally be okay, they did this. Maybe there's really no hope for the six of us to get along. Maybe I was just really expecting too much.

I bit my lower lip before I turned my back at them and run as fast as I can. When I arrived to my room, I cried.

I just can't accept that I can almost trust them completely. I almost believed what they told me. I can't accept that they played with my feelings just to get revenge on me.

I just look strong but I get hurt quickly. I am not a saint, I am human, I have feelings and I feel pain.
