One Roof With Five Hot Jerks
Chapter Forty-two

Maxine's Point of View

I stood up to leave the rooftop without saying goodbye to Alyn. Gosh, why does Alyn seem to be so kind to me all of a sudden? Will he do another trick for me? Agh, I need to get away from him if I still love my life. We're not sure if Alyn has really been kind to me or if he's just planning to do something to me. I'm tired and I have had enough of what's happening to me so I hope Alyn doesn't add to my suffering.

I went straight to the comfort room and washed my face. I took a deep breath before looking at myself in the mirror.

"What do I have? Why do I have to struggle in life?" I asked myself and just sighed. I look like a fool talking to myself in the mirror. As if someone will answer, tsk.

I exited the comfort room and went to the classroom. When the class ended, I immediately put away my belongings. I noticed that Angela was planning to approach me so I hastened to gather my things, and then I ran out of the room. I looked behind me to see if Angela was still chasing me, and thank God, I didn't see her on my back. I breathed a sigh of relief because of that. I continued walking until I could get out of the gate. My eyes searched for the car I always used when I went to school, and when I saw it I walked over to it and got on. While the car was running I was just looking outside.

Even though my relationship had been good with the five monkeys, I still didn't accompany them into campus as well as on the way home. It's not that I still hate them, I just don't want to get the students' attention. There are too many things happening to me, I don't want to add to those and I don't want to tortue myself anymore.

When I got home I went straight to the kitchen even though I hadn't changed my clothes, because I was already hungry. It seems quiet since I got home. Aren't the five here yet? Where are those men? Partying? Hmp! Not my business, I'll just eat here and I won't think about them anymore. After eating I went straight to my room. I took a shower and then went to sleep.

The next day, when I woke up, I immediately acted to get ready to go to school. When I was sure I was ready, I left the room. I walked slowly to peek at the five monkeys downstairs. I was very grateful when I didn't see them, maybe they had already gone to school.

I got off and went straight to the parking lot where the car I always rode was. Even though I hadn't seen the driver I immediately went inside. Maybe the driver just went to the comfort room to pee and when he comes back, we'll just leave right away. But the thoughts in my mind were shattered when I saw Alyn in the driver's seat.

He turned to me because I was sitting in the backseat, "What are you doing there? Sit here in the shotgun seat, I'm not your driver. "

W-Wait, what is he doing here? Did I get in the wrong car?

"Is this your car?" I asked as I remained sitting in the backseat.

He shook his head, "Nope."

"Then, why are you here? Where are your cousins?" I asked, confused.

"Why are you looking for them when I'm here?" He turned his back, "Move now here while I'm still being nice."

Gosh, where is the driver?

I just sighed and bit my lip before moving to the shotgun seat. I have no choice but to do what he told me to do because I might be late for class.

He started the car immediately after I fastened my seatbelt. Damn, Alyn is being weird! When else have we been close so that he can accompany me to school? Wait, isn't this part of his plan?

"Eherm," I cleared my throat to get his attention, "Where are your cousins? You haven't answered my question yet."

"You missed them already?" Damn, instead of answering my question, he answered me with another question.

My forehead furrowed, "What?"

"Isn't that why you were asking about them?" he asked while his gaze was still in front.

"Duh?" I rolled my eyes, "No! I'm just surprised because you're not with them."

"They are already at school," he replied.

I turned my head to him, "Didn't you go with them?"

"If I was, why am I still here with you?"

Gosh! This one is really a philosopher, can't he answer me normaly? It's really hard to talk to a king of monkeys. I just sighed and was forced to understand that he's a monkey. That's why we couldn't understand each other. "So, why don't you go with your cousins?" I just asked and ignored his answer to me earlier. I might just go crazy if I pay more attention. And I was just talking to him to know what his intention was for coming to school with me. "Because I don't want to," he turned to me but immediately looked back at the road. "Ah, I know why you are asking," then he nodded to his own thoughts.

He knows? Can he read minds? "Then, why am I asking?"

"You don't want to be with me, isn't that right?" he sniggers, "You prefer to be with Louis, yeah?"

My brows met. What is he thinking? Yes, I'd rather be with Louis than being with him but that's not what I had in mind. Wait, I forgot that he knew I liked Louis. Is that why that went through his mind?

"Yes, I prefer to be with Louis instead of being with you but that wasn't the reason why I am asking," I replied, honestly.

"So, you really hate to be with me," he chuckled. "Sorry for that, you're stuck with me here. Maybe I shouldn't have done this in the first place."

"Hey! I said that wasn't the reason why I'm asking you!" Then I slapped his arm. Gosh! He's annoying!

"Don't worry, we're already close to the campus," he replied, ignoring what I said.

Arg! If that's what he wants to believe then fine! I don't care anymore. I crossed my arms over my chest and just averted my gaze while my brows were furrowed. Damn, it's just early in the morning but Alyn ruined my mood. I hate him! I told Alyn to stop the car outside the gate but he didn't listen to me, he entered the car inside the campus up to the parking lot. When he parked the car, I immediately went down with my bag, but even before I got far, I immediately felt someone holding my arm.

"What the-" I couldn't continue what I was going to say when Alyn pulled me back into the car. Fortunately, no one's around!

He violently leaned me against the door of the shotgun seat while his two arms gripped the head of the vehicle and put me in the middle. He was just looking at me seriously and I couldn't move from where I was standing. I felt like a statue because of the way he looked at me.

When I couldn't even look at him, I turned to look at the other cars, "W-What? Someone might see us here and they might think the wrong way." I said,

He did not answer. He touched my chin and turned my face to him, "I'll kiss you. Stop me if you don't want to," he ordered.

What did he say?

Gradually, his face came closer to mine. But instead of pushing him when his lips touched mine, I did nothing. I don't fucking know! My eyes were just widely open while his eyes were closed and his lips were pressed to mine. It was too late when everything started to sink into my brain.

He cut off the kiss then smirked. "It tastes like pear," he said before he licked his lips.

My eyes widened and my face immediately warmed up because of what he did. I pushed him violently but instead of making him angry he just gave me a laugh.

I bit my lower lip, "Jerk!" I said before I left him behind.

Arg! I hate him!
