One Roof With Five Hot Jerks

Maxine’s Point of View

My mind wandered as I walked back to the classroom, but I was shocked when someone pulled my wrist, so I came face to face with that person. My gosh, I can’t even see the classroom but someone stopped me from entering right away?

“What?” I asked Louis.

What is it doing here? They have class already, their prof is already there.

“I just want to say sorry,” he responds.

Sorry? Wow, I really can’t believe this guy. After he fooled me, will he now apologize to me? Even if he still dreams awake I will not forgive him! Anyone else in one of them. Never ever in my wildest dream!

I smirked and rolled my eyes, “Don’t you have shame?” I took my hand away from him and spoke again, “I’m not going to be fool by you anymore. Oh, maybe you approached me just now just to do something again? What are your plans now?”

“No,” he shook his head, “It’s not like that. I just really wanted to say sorry. I know I shouldn’t have let them Alyn do that but I’m cowardly. That’s why, I want to say sorry though I know you can’t forgive me. ”

“Do you think I will believe everything you said?” I shook my head, “That’s where you’re wrong.”

He heaved a sigh, “I know. I know that after that it will be hard to trust us all. And I’m not expecting you to forgive me right away.”

My left brow arched, “Forgive me right away? Hey, even if you kneel in front of me a million times, I will never forgive you!”

Oh, my gosh. Why am I talking to this man? Maybe later my heart will suddenly break and I will suddenly forgive him. I’m not sure if everything he said was sincere.

No! I’m sure all of that is just big lies. Gosh, haven’t I been carried away by all that has happened? All of them deceived me and betrayed me after I trusted them. So no matter what happens, I will never believe them all.

I was about to turn around to leave him, but he grabbed my hand again causing me to stop walking.

“I’ll wait,” Louis said. “I’ll wait until you can finally forgive me. I’m not in a hurry so give me another chance.”

“Why?” I asked, “Why are you asking me for another chance? Just to destroy my trust again?”

Damn. Why is he doing this? What are they going to do to me again? Will they retaliate again because I accused Alyn of ordering my classmates to throw garbage on my desk? Gosh, isn’t there an end to revenge? They are so childish!

“Just give me another chance, I won’t break your trust again. Don’t worry, I can wait until you make up your mind,” he smiled and let go of my hand. “Go, sorry to stop you. You can go now you might be late in your class.”

I didn’t answer, I just stared at him for a moment before I turned my back on him. I don’t know. He looks sincere but I’m afraid to trust him again. What if it’s part of their plan again? I might not be able to stop myself from running away, if what I was thinking was true. But what if he is really sincere? Should I trust him? Argh! Never mind, he said he would wait until I could think. So, I will take my time to think.

Finally, the class ended just like I was just an invisible in class. But I was scolded earlier when I returned to the classroom because of the garbage, because my classmates pointed out to me that I was the one who spread the garbage. I was even asked to write “I will not repeat” on 10 whole sheets of papers – back-to-back.

I am now walking to the cafeteria to buy my food and then on the rooftop I will eat later. I was just about to enter the cafeteria when everyone was looking at me, the others will look at me from head to toe. Tsk, I’m used to how they look at me, so I just ignored them.

When it comes to queuing, many people enter my line so it took me a long time to buy. Even though my vein in my head was about to burst due to annoyance I resisted. I don’t want to make a mess here again and maybe next time they won’t just throw garbage on my table. And maybe the next thing will be worse for me.

As for the garbage, I still don’t know who had planned it. I just gasped as I walked. I was close to the building I always went to eat on the rooftop, when suddenly a group of women arrived.

Do I even need to say who they are? It was no other than Ferries with her pets. What else do these ugly people need from me? Seriously, when will they stop pestering me?

“Haa,” I breathe a sigh, “What else do you need from me?”

Ferries takes one step forward, “You really don’t know?”

“Shall I ask you if I know? Duh,” I rolled my eyes, “Think about it.”

“Hey,” she approached me again as in too close, “Watch your words, you’re not in a position to talk back to me.”

I looked at everyone with Ferries one by one. It was only then that I realized that there are many of them now compare before. But I didn’t budge, I looked back at Ferries and made an equal stare at her.

“Look how she glared at you, Ferries.” Instigator of a demon to her left.

The woman to Ferries’ right nodded, “Yeah. Right, it’s like she’s saying she’s not going back down from the fight.”

“Let’s give her a lesson, Ferries. So that she would never glared at you again.” The fat woman said that looked like a whale.

Ferries didn’t pay attention to what all of her pets said, instead she asked me, “What did you do earlier in Alyn’s classroom?”

I frowned at her question. Is that the only reason they come here? They even really blocked me. Instead, I was eating peacefully in the rooftop right now, I am here and talking to them.

Argh! I can’t help but be bored. It was only because of Alyn that they blocked me and caused me to panic over food. I’m hungry for pete’s sake! Can’t she just ask Alyn since that man is her boyfriend?

“Why don’t you ask him yourself? Why do you have to block me here?” I asked angrily.

Gosh. Did she think I was going to take Alyn away from her, so I went there? Hey, I will never steal that man. That demon is her, if she wants I could put Alyn in her lungs. What’s good with that man, why are they so deadly in love with him? Yes, he is handsome, but he has a bad temper!

“Do you really have the courage to answer?” She asked. She turned to her companions before looking at me again, “There are more of us than you, you are the only one and you have no ally. Aren’t you scared?” Then she raised her brows.

“Why would I be?” I answered even though I was nervous.

Who wouldn’t be nervous, right? There are many of them compared to me who are just one. Just like she said I have no ally. It’s really hard to be alone. Even though there are many people in the world today, I feel like I am alone because I have no one.

“I will ask you again,” she crossed her arms over her chest, “What are you doing in Alyn’s classroom earlier?”

I did not answer. I just kept my mouth shut. Who is she for me to answer her question? She is also just a student who acts like a queen, without a crown.

“Has she become mute?” said the woman who has a lot of pimples on the face.

I just rolled my eyes and was about to walk up to the building because I was starving – when Ferries immediately blocked my way.

“What? I’m starving!” I exclaimed. I could no longer contain my annoyance because of my hunger. It is awful to make a hungry person angry.

She looked annoyed when I suddenly shouted because she frowned, “I’m asking you!” She shouted back.

“Why don’t you ask Alyn? Why do you have to block me just to ask that useless thing?” Then I withdrew my hand from her, “Or maybe you can’t ask him because you have no right?”

Her brows met, “What?”

“You can’t ask him because you’re not really his girlfriend!” I answer her directly.

I don’t know if what I’m saying is correct because what just entered my mind was what came out of my mouth. It must have been caused by my hunger.

She was stunned for a moment before I received a loud slap from her. Her companions backed away because of the force of her slap on me. Even though I was in pain, I took it and looked at her again.

“Why? Is it true?” I smirked.

She bit her lips trying to suppress her anger, “Girls!” She calls to her henchmen, “Teach her.” She said and at the same time her pets approached me.

I stepped back. Damn. Are they gonna gang up me?

I was about to run when I thought about it but someone grabbed my hair. After that, I felt a series of feelings. There were people kicking, grabbing my hair, scratching my body and the food I had brought earlier was thrown on the ground.

“Fuck, ouch!” I moaned when someone slapped me.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Whenever I try to stand up and fight them I always fail. Every time I tried to stand up, someone would grab my hair and pull it down reason for me to get down again. And every time I tried to retaliate, someone will grab my arms to stop me.

There are passers -by but no one have an intention of helping me. In fact, they will just look and leave. Others will stay just to watch the torture being done to me.

“What now?! Are you still going to answer?!”

I don’t know who asked that because my arm is now covered over my head while I look like a baby lying on the ground. I can do nothing but tolerate everything they do to me. It hurts so much especially when that fat woman kicks me. They all took turns slapping me, I was even hit on the ground. I don’t know if they are furious with me or if they are just pouring all their anger on me.

I felt the blood on my lips when the fat woman slapped me. I closed my eyes in pain, I couldn’t even wipe the blood when I felt that they were kicking me again.
