One Roof With Five Hot Jerks

Maxine’s Point of View

Even though I didn’t want to go to school, I did nothing but go anyway. Still, nothing has changed. Almost all the students here are still mad at me. Every time they see me, I can feel their bad looks at me. But even so, I just don’t pay attention to them, I’m too pretty to notice the ugly ones like them.

I am now walking to the teacher’s room because my teacher ordered me to deliver her equipment to her table in the faculty room. Of course, the buzz around didn’t go away when my classmates heard my last name. You thought there was a curse attached to me, every time the teachers called my last name they would start whispering and look evilly at me. I want to pull out their eyes!

While walking I heard the sound of a piano. It was a pleasure to listen to the music that came from there, so instead of going straight to the faculty room, I followed where the sound was coming from.

As I carried my teacher’s belongings, I walked slowly until I reached the music room. I even looked up to confirm if this was really the music room. And I didn’t make a mistake when I read what was above the door.

I carefully opened the door so as not to create any noise. And then I peeked inside. A man filled the room who was making the sound I had heard before. I couldn’t see his face because he was turning his back on me, but his back seemed familiar.

“Ms. Wards!”

I quickly closed the door of the music room when I heard my teacher call me who had ordered me earlier. I took a deep breath before facing where the voice came from and then smiled at her.

“What are you doing there? The faculty room is not there. Come here!” she shouted again.

I just nodded and walked closer to her. I thought she was going to pinch my ear but she didn’t. That’s why I was able to breathe easily. She just advised me not to go anywhere and I just nodded at everything she said.

When we arrived at the faculty room, I put her things on her table and said goodbye to leaving the room. When I came out, I was shocked to see Giles who seemed to be waiting for something. I just ignored him and was about to pass him, when he suddenly spoke, causing me to stop walking.

“What were you doing there before?” he asked.

I turned to him and could not answer. I no longer knew what he was saying. What was I doing there before? Where? I only went to the classroom, music room and here in the faculty room.

Oh, wait!

I pointed at him, “Don’t tell me…” He just nodded at me in response. And there I confirmed that he had been playing the piano earlier. That’s why the back is so familiar! “None of your business.” I answered his question earlier which I could not answer.

“What is your section again? And where is your classroom?” He asked which I don’t know what it is for. Why is he asking though?

I just rolled my eyes, “Why are you asking? Do you plan to ruin my life again? My life is quiet, please don’t disturb me.”

“Are you satisfied with your life now even though almost everyone here is angry with you?” he raised his brows.

I crossed my arms over my chest, “Who is the reason why they are all mad at me? Aren’t you, your cousins and Ferries your princess’ at fault?” I sarcastically told him.

He just clicked his tongue, “Tsk. Where is your classroom? I will come with you.”

My brows furrowed, “And what are you planning to do? You really want to make my situation worse? Don’t you understand that if I go back there with you, you will only make the situation worse?”

He heaved a sigh, “Then, I’ll tell them not to mess with you and not to get mad at you.”

“And why would you do that?” I smirked, “You didn’t even ask for my side when you sided with Ferries. So don’t act now that you think you care how they treat me.” I said before I turned my back.

“Yanny…” he held my hand, causing me to stop walking.

I immediately withdrew my hand from him and looked at him, “Please, Giles. Don’t make my situation worse.” I said then left him there.

I just gasped when I finally got away from him. I am now walking back to the building where my classroom is. The weather is very hot today but at the same time it is windy.

POK!

“Ouch! What the heck?!” I shouted and caressed the part of my head that was hit by the ball.

“Sorry!” A man shouted as he ran closer to where I was standing.

My system seemed to automatically heat up when I realized who the man was running. He was the only one but Sid Granger. He is wearing a jersey and sweating profusely while there is an extent of the smile on his lips. Why is he smiling?! He hit me with the ball and then he smiled!

When he got close, he immediately picked up the ball and then turned to me, “Are you okay, Missy?”

My brows furrowed, “Do I look okay?! What if I hit you with a ball, will you be, okay?!”

He scratched his head while still grinning, “Sorry, Missy.”

“Will you please stop grinning? It’s annoying!” I shouted at him. The anger on my face was obvious.

Who wouldn’t be annoyed? He hit me with a ball and then he smiled! Nothing funny!

“Okay. Okay. Chill, Missy.” He’s trying to calm me down but it didn’t work. I became even more annoyed with him.

“Stop calling me Missy! My name is Maxine not Missy, bullshit!” I exclaimed.

Sid took a step closer to me, “Hey, watch your words. Many are already watching, just let it slide, okay?”

“So, what if a lot of people are looking at us?” I even looked around before looking back at Sid, “It’s your fault you play basketball! Really, how did you become a varsity player if you don’t know how to play well?”

“Hey…” he’s trying to make me stop but I didn’t.

“The basketball ring was there but the ball hit me, it just means you’re stupid!” I added.

Sid closed his eyes, seemingly holding back annoyance. Wow, is he annoyed? Hello? I’m the victim here!

“That’s enough,” the man I didn’t know suddenly interjected, “I’m sorry if the ball hit you, but he didn’t do it on purpose. What you are saying is too painful, it is not right.”

I rolled my eyes, “I don’t give a damn. I am in even more pain now because of that man and his cousins.” I said and turned away from them.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

Arg! Annoying! Why do I even need to encounter Giles and Sid today? My day is ruined.

I frowned as I walked to my classroom and when I arrived, I just found out that I was late for class. Gosh! It’s Sid’s fault why I’m late. If he hadn’t just been a fool to play ball, hopefully I wouldn’t have been hit and I wouldn’t have been late in class! Arg! I badly want to punch his fucking face!
