Jay-jay's POV
Now I can feel the embarrassment they were talking about. I mean, I've been humiliated before, but this is on a different level!
I'm going home with a polo wrapped around my butt. Good thing Ci-N took pity on me and lent me her polo. I folded it three times to make it thicker and wrapped it around my waist, tying it with the sleeves. Thank God his polo was huge.
Now it looks like my skirt has a design. It's super fitted around my butt and thighs, making it hard to walk because I feel like the wrap will fall off if I move the wrong way.
Students kept looking at me, whispering to each other. I couldn't even blame them because of how I looked.
I was about to leave school, and behind me were the damn people responsible for the most embarrassing moment of my life.
"Ci-N! Is she sexy?" asked a classmate whose name I didn't even know.
"Yeah... even with the cycling shorts, I can still see her sexiness," Ci-N replied.
Someone whistled, and they all started laughing.
These bastards! I stopped walking and shot them a glare.
"Don't get mad! It's a compliment!" Keifer said with a mischievous grin.
"F*ck your compliment!" I shouted at him.
I went back to walking, but I suddenly stopped when I saw Aries looking at me. Sh*t! And worse—he was with his classmates and... Kiko!!!
I looked so damn embarrassing! F*ck my life!
"Hey, Jay!" Kiko greeted me with a smile. But that smile quickly disappeared when he saw what I had wrapped around me. "What is that for?"
"Ahh... well... uhm—"
"She got her period!" Ci-N suddenly shouted from behind, making everyone burst into laughter.
Oh, f*ck! I'm going to kill someone. I swear, I'm close!
I could feel my face heating up. Aries' classmates were now laughing too because of what Ci-N said. But Aries himself was still looking at me seriously—no, he was looking behind me.
Kiko's face suddenly turned serious. "Tell me, Jay... Are these guys bullying you?"
I could also feel the sudden tension from the people behind me. Oh no! These guys are about to start a fight!
"N-no... It's just... w-what Ci-N said is true... It's just a woman thing."
Please, earthquake! Swallow me whole! This is so embarrassing!
"Sure?" he asked.
I smiled and nodded.
"Ahh... Just let me know if they're doing anything bad to you. I'll take care of it," he said as if he was really ready to defend me.
Ahihihi! Can I fangirl over this?! My crush is so sweet! And that smile—damn, like a toothpaste model!
And we're not even close yet!
"Tss. As if you can take us on," Keifer muttered, making all of Aries and Kiko's classmates go on high alert.
This bastard! He's really trying to pick a fight!
"Of course I can... I already took down David. You guys would be nothing."
Whoa! So this guy's a fighter too?! Okay... minus pogi points.
I glanced at Keifer's group. Oh, sh*t! They all had serious faces now. The tension was heavy.
"David just took pity on you and let you win," Felix said.
Who the hell is David? Who's that now?!
"Really? That's not what happened," Kiko said with an annoying smirk.
"Okay... It's obvious where this is going! So before it even gets there, you all need to go home," I interrupted.
Kiko looked at me and smiled. Obey me! Even if you're handsome, listen to me!
"Yeah, better. I'm not in the mood to fight anyway," he answered.
Good thing he listened. Hehe! Good boy!
"Tss. Coward," Keifer muttered again before walking away in another direction, far from us.
"Jay, you should come with me. I'll walk you home," Kiko offered.
Omg?! Mwuhehehe...
"You can't... because I'm already walking her home," Ci-N said with a smile.
Oh, right! His polo! I could just return it to him tomorrow.
But at the same time... I was too shy to go home with Kiko.
What the hell is this?!
"S-sorry, Kiko... I still have to return his polo. I-I'll just go with him."
Huhuhuhu! I'm so sorry!
"Uhmmm... But next time, come with me, okay?" he said with a sweet smile.
I nodded. Ci-N and I started walking away.
Once we were far enough, I immediately put him in a headlock.
"You b*tch! What the hell were you saying earlier?!"
"Aarrgghhh... That hurts, Jay!"
"It's supposed to hurt, you idiot!"
I tightened my grip around his neck even more and smacked his head a few times.
"Jay! It hu—urts!"
"You deserve it, dumbass!"
I could feel him struggling to breathe. I didn't actually plan on killing him, so I finally let go.
"W-were you really about to kill me?!" he asked, coughing.
"I would have! But I felt bad for your polo!" I pointed at the polo still wrapped around me.
I continued walking. I won't take a shortcut today—I already forgot the way. So I just walked along the main road, with Ci-N following behind me.
I wasn't sure if he was mad at me or what. His face was serious. He kept looking around too. Just being paranoid?
We finally arrived home. Turns out what they say is true—you really do walk faster when it's time to go home. Hehehe.
I stopped at the gate and faced Ci-N. He smiled at me.
Just smiling... just smiling!
"Wait here... I'll just change."
"No need... I really just walked you home."
"What about your polo?"
"Keep it... I have lots of those at home."
Whaaaat?!
"Still... since you're already here, just take it back!" I didn't wait for her answer and immediately ran inside.
My aunt saw me, but I quickly ran straight to my room.
I grabbed some shorts and took off Ci-N's polo. Then, I took off my skirt.
Sigh... Almost nothing was left of the back part of my skirt. What a waste!
I put on the shorts and shook out Ci-N's polo to smooth it a little. I didn't change my blouse yet. That snake might run away.
I immediately ran outside. I hadn't even gotten close to Ci-N yet, but I could already see that he was smirking. He was facing another direction as if he was looking at something.
I stepped out and looked as well, but there was nothing. "What are you looking at?"
He smiled at me. "Nothing… I'm leaving." He said, then took his polo from my hands.
He didn't even wait for me to say anything and quickly walked away. In a hurry?! Wait a minute…
"CI-N! THANK YOU!!" I shouted.
I just don't know if he heard me. He didn't turn around or even stop. Seriously?
I was about to go back inside the house when I noticed a group of men following Ci-N. I suddenly felt uneasy. That idiot might get into a fight.

Ci-N's POV
"You think we'll just let go of what you did to our friends earlier?" one of them said while cracking his knuckles.
I can do that too, especially with my toes.
I smiled at them. "Not really."
I had been waiting for them. I actually thought they would attack in front of Jay-jay's house. Good thing they had some fear left. It would have been embarrassing in front of all those people. My cuteness would have drawn too much attention.
"Stop smiling!" one of them shouted.
Seven of them surrounded me. Can I handle this? Whatever happens, happens.
I smiled even wider at his words. I couldn't help it—I was excited.
"Let's see if you're still smiling after what we do to you."
"Even someone with missing teeth can smile… what more someone with a full set?"
Even they laughed at what I said. But I knew that laugh meant something else.
"The girl with you… she's pretty. After we're done with you, we'll go after her next."
The smile on my face disappeared. Maybe I made a mistake by walking her home. This is dangerous. I even dragged our new classmate into this. I have no choice but to make sure they don't do anything to Jay-jay.
"You guys talk too much… What time are we actually starting?" I said, bored.
One of them suddenly lunged at me, throwing a powerful punch, but of course, I dodged. Unfortunately, I didn't see the next punch coming. Shit! I didn't see that one.

Jay-jay's POV
I was still pissed. Of course, it was still about my skirt. Maybe I should frame it to commemorate this moment.
Those jerks! I curse them! I hope their buttholes close up! So annoying!!!!!
"Miss Jay… it's time to eat." The maid called out to me.
Why the 'Miss'? It makes me sound so formal.
I walked out of the room and headed to Tita's dining area. Tita was already there with Kuya Angelo and Aries.
Aries? He's here? He came home.
"Sit down, Jay…" Tita ordered.
I sat down and stole a glance at Aries. He was just staring at Tita and Kuya Angelo, who were sitting next to me.
"Starting tomorrow… you'll ride with Aries in his car." Kuya Angelo said.
I looked at Kuya and then at Aries, who furrowed his brows in irritation.
"Kuya… I'd rather walk." I said, and it was clear that Kuya didn't like my answer.
"No… You'll ride with Aries."
Oh no! Aries might actually go on a rampage if I ride with him.
Aries and I locked eyes. I could feel that he wanted to bury me alive. Kuya was the one causing this mess with what he was saying.
He probably even made Aries come home just for this. Anyone would obey Kuya. He's scary when he gets mad.
He's also the one Lola always calls to talk to me. They know I'm scared of Kuya. Good thing I behave now. Aries is the one under his radar these days.
