One Roof With Five Hot Jerks

Maxine’s Point of ViewThis text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

I don’t know why Byron suddenly asked if Alyn had taken any action when he found out that Ferries had oppressed me and her pets. But he didn’t know, Alyn was right there and just watched his girlfriend oppress me. Maybe he’s even proud of what his girlfriend did to me. They looked good together, they both had bad attitude.

My goodness! When will my life be quiet? I think as long as I stay at this school, my life will never be peaceful because of Ferries and her henchmen.

I’m here now on the rooftop and ventilating. We don’t have classes at this time, so I thought I’d just go to the rooftop. If I just stay in the classroom, they might even bully me. And if I go to the library, I will definitely hear their gossiping.

I grabbed my hair when it’s blown by the wind, “My gosh,” I whispered to myself.

Five days have passed since what Ferries and her pets did to me, but the bruises and wounds they did to me are still on my body. The next day, when I came in after what they had done to me, my classmates were surprised by how I looked. Who wouldn’t be surprised if a student came to your school full of bruises on her body?

When I entered, they were whispering. I just ignored them and until now they still murmur every time they see me, not only that, there are also students who laugh at me. Not only did my classmates know about the bruises on my body, the whole student in this school knew about it. How did they know? Simple, someone took a picture of me after they finished hurting me, and they printed that photo and pasted it in every corner and part of the school.

What they did was embarrassing and painful for me. Especially when I saw Angela laughing at that picture of mine, as well. Was our friendship is really nothing? Even if we were only friends for a while, didn’t he really care about that? Will she really choose power over true friendship ?

I sighed. But it wouldn’t have happened to me if it wasn’t for those five men. Yes, those five monkeys! They are really the reason why Ferries hates me. Because Ferries thought I would take her prince charming from her, she didn’t know that I didn’t want that man. And because of the scene in the cafeteria back then, the students here at school were also angry with me without knowing the real reason of our fight.

Oh my gosh, my head heats up every time I remember Alyn and Ferries, “Argh !!” I shouted, “Fuck you! You two suits together, you’re both ugly! Argh! Damn!”

I feel free to shout here on the rooftop because no one could hear me. I’m the only one who always climbs here because there’s a ‘restricted’ sign on the outside of the rooftop door. I don’t know why something is posted like that there, maybe something happened that had an accident here. But I don’t care about that because it’s just the most peaceful place for me.

Even if you hear other shouts from below, there is no one to bother you up here. And no one knows I’m coming here, perhaps they don’t even know that someone is coming here on the rooftop.

“I hope you two go to hell and live there! You two will be together for life!” I shouted again. I don’t know, every time I shouted, the weight that I’m bearing on my chest is reducing. Likewise, I smiled when I felt relieved, “Tsk! Don’t ever come back when you live in hell!” I added, “Gosh, this feeling is so fantastic.” I whispered to myself while smiling, I even hold onto my chest before took a deep breath.

KRIKK!

I immediately turned my head at the back when I heard a sound. My eyes widened when someone with messy hair got up from lying down. He removed the tarpaulin that covered him and slowly turned to me. I couldn’t quite see his face because he was a bit bent over, and he was rubbing his eyes, but when he removed his hand from his face it was only then that I knew who it was.

He straightened up as he looked at me badly, “You’re always screaming every time you come here. Don’t you know you’re disturbing a sleeping person?”

Do I know that there is someone here besides me?! I just said earlier that no one knows I’m coming here, so why is he here? And how did he know I was always screaming whenever I was here on the rooftop? Is he always here? But why don’t I notice him? Why don’t I know?

From him, my gaze shifted to the tarpaulin that had covered him earlier. Sure enough, the reason why I don’t notice him even though he’s here is because he was always covered by that tarpaulin.

“What are you doing here?” I asked.

“I was sleeping before but because of your noise I woke up,” he stood up and walked over to me. I didn’t back down and just waited for him to get closer, “Say sorry,” he commanded.

“Huh?!” My left brow arched, and I crossed my arms over my chest, “You didn’t even apologize to me for what your girlfriend did, and then you ordered me to apologize to you because you woke up?” I smirked, “Is it my fault that you’re sleeping there? And why are you here anyway?”

“I always come here, you? What are you doing here?” He inserted his hand inside his pocket.

“You don’t have to know my reason!” I said and was about to pass him to leave the rooftop when he suddenly stopped me.

I turned to him and saw that he had taken something from his pants pocket and handed it to me, “Treat your bruises,” Alyn said before he left me and went out of the rooftop.

I looked at the little thing he handed me. It is an ointment for bruises. Did he really give me this? I looked back to where Alyn had come out and wondered why he had given me the ointment. Was that really Alyn that I know? Or am I just imagining things?

Maybe I was just imagining. Potentially someone else handed it to me, and he just looks like Alyn. Because the Alyn I know will never give me ointment even if I die. Then another, didn’t he care about me when he saw his girlfriend oppressing me? And he said I deserve what happened to me. See? He doesn’t care about me, isn’t it? So, Alyn can’t be the one who gave it to me. Nope. Never.

I just shrugged and sat on the long chair that was here on the rooftop. I opened the ointment and applied it on my bruises. I was smiling while applying it. I don’t know, my heart is just light now, possibly because I just finished releasing the pain in my chest?

KRIIING!!

I got up when I heard the bell, our class started again. I exited the rooftop and quietly walked down to the floor where my classroom was. I was close to the classroom when I noticed that there were many people in the corridor. Furthermore, I looked at all of them because I might be what they were expecting to arrive, so that they could bully me again, but I was wrong in my imagination when I saw Louis across from my classroom.

What is he doing there?! Does he really want to torture me? My gosh!

I was about to turn around when I heard Louis called me, “Wendy!”

I closed my eyes and when I opened my eyes I saw that almost everyone was looking at me. Louis ran towards me with a wide smile as if it was nothing for him, even if everyone’s attention were on us. Isn’t he ashamed to be looked by everyone, even we’re together?

“What a-are you doing here? Your classroom is upstairs, ah.” I said as he got closer to where I was standing.

“I came here to hand it to you,” he replied and handed me a bag. I took it and peeked at the inside. “That’s your food for lunch. Let’s eat together later in the garden, okay? I’ll wait for you there, see you!” He said before running, he even waved at me as a farewell.

And now the full attention of the onlookers is focused on me. What the heck?!
