One Roof With Five Hot Jerks
Chapter Seventy-one

Maxine's Point of View

"Hi," I looked up and saw Mylo. He was smiling at me.

I sat properly, "Hello?"

He chuckled, "How are you feeling? Feeling better now?"

Oh, right. I got sick on the day of the grand ball. I even searched his name on facebook just to informed him that I can't go because I was sick. Gladly, he seen it right away and replied to my message. I hope he didn't think that was just my excuse for not being able to go.

Haa~ I can now feel the sharp stares of my classmates. Well, who am I just talking to? It's just Mylo whom I think one of the famous varsity basketball players in our school. "Yeah," I nodded.

"Wow, look at her feeling close with Mylo," classmate no. 1.

"Tsk, such an eye sore," classmate no. 2.

"Gosh, I really hate her," classmate no. 3.

"Me, too! Why do all the handsome students here at our school approach her?" Classmate no. 4.

"I'm curious, too. She's not that pretty, though." Classmate no. 5.

"When will Queen Elaine come back here? Probably when she comes back, that woman will no longer be in the sight of the men," classmate no. 6.

"You got it right," classmate no. 7.

"Agree," classmate no. 8.

"Gosh, I don't want to look at her anymore, I was getting more annoyed with her." Classmate no. 9.

"Come on, let's just do our homework," classmate no. 10.

"You're right," classmate no. 11.

I hope they did not raised their voices so I can hear what they're saying. Tch, I heard Elaine's name again. Who is that for them to call her queen? And I'm an eye sore she says? Then, don't look at me, bitch! Doing their homework here? Really? How can you call it homework if you do that at school? It will be called schoolwork and not homework anymore. These bitches kept bad mouthing me but they are doing the homework at school. Tch, what bullshit is that? Gosh, really. "That's good to hear," Mylo replied. "Oh, our prof is coming, I'll go back to my seat."

I just nodded at him and he moved to return to his seat.

[Break time] Cring! Cring!

The bell rang to signal the students that it's time for lunch break. I put the notebook and ballpen I used before in my bag and was about to stand up when Angela suddenly stopped in front of me, causing me to sit down again. Gosh, that startled me.

"D-Do you need something?" I asked.

"Come with me," she said and then led the way.

I just walked behind her and followed her. Yes, I'm such an idiot. What if Ferries ordered her to call me? Then, they might do something bad to me again.

"We're here," Angela said before we entered a dark room.

Where are we? Are they gonna gang up me again? Haa, please don't. I'm calling satan, please whisper at them that don't do something bad at me. I'm sick of getting beaten up. Plus, GH is here it will be bad if he notice my bruises and he will realize that I was getting bullied. Huhu~

"Sit," a familiar voice said.

After a few moments, the light turned on. I looked around to confirm if there are many people inside. I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw only Angela and Ferries inside. "Didn't I say sit?" Ferries raised an eyebrow.

I immediately sat down next to Angela and didn't open my mouth.

"Don't be nervous, we didn't call you to start a fight," Angela said. Hoo~ thank goodness.

"Elaine will come back soon, so I'll be your friend," Ferries uttered.

Elaine here, Elaine there. Who is she, though?

"Who's Elaine?" I asked.

"My best friend," she replied. "But that was a long time ago."

"Did you guys fight? But you don't need to befriend me, though." I said.

She smirked, "It's not that I want to! You just look as miserable as always alone. In addition, you will lose your haters if I become your friend."

Is she sincere? But she was frowning while saying those words like she was just forced to say those. Moreover, they were my bullies so how could I trust them?

"Sorry, but..." I looked down, "I can't see the sincerity in your eyes."

She scoffed, "Are you rejecting me? Woah~ I can't believe it."

I stood up, "Sorry. Uhm... Can you give me a time to think about it?"

She sighed and averted her gaze, "Fine. Do as you wish, tch."

"Thanks," I said before I turned away.

Gosh, what do I do? Do they really want me to be their friend? Ah, no, no, maybe they are planning something bad. I have to be careful and avoid them in case I ever meet them on the way. "Where have you been?"

"Kyah!"

Goodness! Who the fuck dared to surprised me?!

I turned to the person who suddenly appeared, my eyes widened and my heart suddenly beat faster.

"W-Why are you here?" I asked.

"I was looking for you," he replied.

I started to walked and then he followed me, "Why? Why?"

"Just to look if you're okay. How are you feeling? Is there nothing wrong with you?" He asked. I couldn't see his face because I was walking ahead of him. And it's not like I want to see him.

"I'm not sick anymore, you don't need to worry," I uttered.

Ugh, fuck this heart it seems like in just a few minutes it will come out of my chest because of the speed of its pulse. Damn it!

I quickened my pace so he will fall behind and maybe my heart would calm down.

"Hey, why did you suddenly speed up your walk? You may stumble," I heard him said, and the next thing I knew I was already facing him.

"Kyah!" I screamed and tapped his hand that was holding my arm.

"W-What's wrong?" He asked, looking concern.

"D-D-Don't touch me," I muttered and bowed my head.

Damn it. What was that? There was as if electricity flowed all over my body when he touched me. Fuck. Fuck! I could also feel my blood rising on my face. Also, the fucking butterflies are here again on my stomach. They seem to be excited and dancing with joy.

"Oh? Alyn and... Wendy? What are you two doing here?" I'm sure it was Louis, "And in the middle of the hallway, really?"

"I just..." Alyn replied but he didn't seem to be able to continue what he was going to say.

Louis heaved a sigh, "Are you fighting again?"

"N-No, no," I answered immediately.

"What-" Louis could not finish what he was going to say when someone shouted loudly.

"Babe~~" no doubt, it was Belle. "Oh, hi Louis! What are you doing here hmm, is that Maxine? Why is she bent over, is she still sick?"

"No, I'm not. I'm just... hungry. Yeah, so uhm... excuse me," I said and turned away.

Why every time Belle suddenly appears in front of me with Alyn I suddenly feel a lot of needles piercing my chest? It's... it's kind of annoying. I hate this feeling, fuck it.

"Wendy, wait for me!" Louis shouted.

Damn, I'm confused.
