One Roof With Five Hot Jerks

Maxine’s Point of View

The game ended. Alyn’s team won, I hope Troy is fine. I hope he won’t cry, because he told me that he really want to play a match with other schools. Hmm, where is he? I should be consulting him now. He’s been there when I needed him, and now is my turn to making him feel okay somehow.

“Why are you here?”

Alyn?

“I watched the game,” I answered.

His brows furrowed, “I didn’t give you ticket, so how did you watch?”

I arched my left brow, “Are you the only one who can give a ticket? And if you’re just curious where I got the ticket, Troy gave it to me. Are we okay now? I’m leaving.”

He stopped me, “Troy? Troy Francisco?”

Argh, why is he asking as if he didn’t meet him yet? Gosh, I really have to find Troy, why is he bugging me?

I turned to him and removed his hand from my arm, “Yeah. If you don’t have any question, I will leave now because I really have to find him.” I clicked my tongue and rolled my eyes before I turned away.

Just go with Belle asshole, I don’t need you.

While walking, I saw Troy with his teammates. I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that he was smiling and that he looked fine. Should I approached him? He looked busy, though. Hmm… maybe I should just leave for now, we can talk later.

“Wendy!”

I turned around and saw Louis approaching me. When he got closer, I immediately smiled.

“Why are you running?” I asked and caressed his back.

“Oh, I saw from there,” he turned around and pointed where he came from. “Let’s eat together,” he said.

Gosh, is he inviting me for a date? I won’t say no to that!

“S-Sure,” I bit my lower lip, trying to suppress my smile.

“Good, let’s go.” He held my hand pulled me away.

All of my hopes for us were faded when I saw a four familiar faces. Gosh, why did I even assumed that I will going to eat lunch with Louis, if I already knew that he have other four cousins in his back. Goodness! I hoped-for nothing.

“Take a seat here,” Louis pulled a chair for me. I sat there and thank him, while he sat beside me.

Our sitting arrangement is:

Byron Louis Me

Giles Sid

Belle Alyn

This Belle is here again. Are they dating for real? Well, as if I care. I just rolled my eyes and eat since there are foods that are already laid out on the table.

“Seriously, Byron, what happened to you? You left the mansion happily last night, but you came back in a bad mood.” Sid asked.

Byron turned to him with a death glare, “Just shut up if you don’t want to find yourself at the hospital later.”

Isn’t Byron still in good shape? Hmm, I’m also curious what happened to him.

“Let’s just eat, guys.” Louis said.

No one is talking, so I ate quietly. I don’t have something to say, either. So, I just kept quiet, too. It seems like we are playing ‘the first one to talk will die’.

Right after we finished eating, the school announced that the classes were canceled for today. We can go home or just stay here. I got excited, of course, I want to go home right away but my mind change when Louis said that he’s going to say here.

“Do you have anything else to do here, so you still want to stay?” I asked.

“Nothing, I just want to stay here for a while.” He answered, “Why? Do you want to go home?”

“Oh, uhm…” I bowed my head and played with my fingers.

His cousins were walking in front of us, while Louis and I were just following them.

He wrapped his arm to my shoulder, “We can go home if you want. I’ll accompany you.”

I lifted my chin and looked at him, “R-Really? But, you don’t want to go home yet.”

He smiled, “If I can be with you, then I will be fine.”

Fuck it. What does he mean by that? Oh, gosh. He’s giving me a false hope again! Or… maybe it is just in my thoughts again?

When we got home, he told me to shower and get change first. I did what he told me and went down the stairs when I was done. I saw him sitting on the couch while watching, I sat beside him and watched.

“He smells nice,” he complimented me.

I turned to him with a smile, “You too.”

“What do you like to watch? You can tell me,” he uttered, while his eyes were still on TV.

We’re the only ones here, because Alyn and others did not come home yet. They stayed in the campus, and I don’t know why do they want to stay there if they can rest right here.

“Anything is okay with me,” I replied. I turned to the TV, and GH suddenly popped up in my mind. I looked at Louis again, “Uhm… Louis?”

He turned to me, “Yep?”

“Uh… when will GH go home?” I looked back at the TV again, “You know, it’s been 8 months since GH went at the Canada, I thought he would only stay there for a few weeks but he didn’t.”

Louis caressed my hair, “Oh, you missed GH?” He giggled, “He’s just taking care of something, don’t worry he’s going home too. Hmm… maybe after two months?”

I pouted, “Is he that busy?”

He nodded, “You can call him anytime if you missed him.”

“I don’t want to,” I shook my head, “If he’s busy, I don’t want to interfere with his work.”

“Woah, good girl, huh?” Louis chuckled, “But, Wendy, there’s something I’m curious about.”

I don’t know but I feel suddenly nervous. I turned to him and waited for him to say it.

“Do you like Alyn?” Is what he asked which made me surprised.

“Pfft~” I slapped his arm playfully, “Of course, not! What’s with your question. Oh, my gosh! That’s so funny!” Then, I burst out laughing.

“Really?”

I stopped right away, when his voice became serious. I turned to him and looked at his eyes. Yeah, he’s serious right now.

I nodded, “I don’t like him.”

“Oh, yeah?” He tilted his head, like he’s not believing what I’m saying.

“Aish, I’m telling you the truth! And, why are you even asking about that guy? I don’t like him,” I averted my gaze and crossed my arms over my chest. “The one I like is you, not him!”

Oops.

My head slowly turned to him. Oh, my gosh! He looked surprised of what I said. Damn. I should take back what I said but I don’t know how.

“Uh… what… did you said?” He sat properly.

Gosh, it can’t be help.

“I-I said I like you, not Alyn.” I bowed my head and covered my face with my palms.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

It seemed like all the blood in my body has gone up to my face. My face is so hot and maybe I’m blushing now because of embarrassment. How did I end up confessing how I felt to him? Gosh, I didn’t plan it. What if he suddenly avoid me? Damn it!

“So, can you kiss me too?” My eyes widened and I immediately put down my hands that are covering my face, then looked at him. I was too stunned to speak. “You can’t?”

I blinked three times, “I-I-I-I… I’m…”

“It’s okay,” he smiled bitterly.

“No! I-I can do it! I can!”

“What can you do?”

Louis and I turned our head at the door where the voice came from. My eyes widened when I realized that it was Alyn who spoke.

“Oh, you’re here what about Belle?” Louis asked.

“I told her to go home because she doesn’t live here,” Alyn responded, then he looked at me again, “What are you two talking about?”

I stood up immediately, “I-It’s nothing!” I said, and ran hurriedly to my room. Damn it!
