Chapter 5 - Chapter 4: The Girl Beside Me

Kiefer's POV

Kiefer was thinking about why Jayjay had made him escort that girl to class. His mind drifted until he heard someone call his name—it was David. Coming back to his senses, he realized he had walked a little far from their classroom. He returned and asked David what he had been thinking about, using his eyes to point at the girl standing behind him. David immediately understood.

They entered the classroom. Kiefer's eyes scanned the room and, the girl who had been following him sat near Kiefer, trying to get closer, but he didn't even care. She was asking for class, sitting at his desk, being persistently annoying—but he didn't want her there.

Kiefer leaned closer to Yuri and thought to himself, "This girl is really annoying. She won't leave me alone. She's super irritating."

Jayjay's POV

After class, the girl was still drawing quietly. I got up, about to leave. Then the girl called "Miss pretty), but i wasn't sure it was me. I pointed at myself to make sure she was calling me .

The girl walked over to me and handed me a piece of paper. I opened it and saw a drawing of me during class.

"How did you draw this?" I asked.

The girl replied, "Why? It's nice, isn't it?"

I smiled. "Oh no, it's very nice. I love how you drew it… and I didn't even notice you turning your head?"

The girl nodded and explained that she had taken a picture of me while I wasn't paying attention.

Then I said, "Okay," then she took her bag and we walked out together.

I asked, "If you can draw, why are you in law class?"

The girl introduced herself as chantelle Reyes. Her mom was the teacher who took us this class, Ms. Reyes. chantelle explained that she loved drawing and dancing, but her mom wanted her to continue the family legacy since almost everyone in the family was a lawyer. Only her dad and little brother supported her passions. chantelle was afraid to tell her mom, so she secretly practiced drawing and dancing, even though her mom had already noticed.

As we walked, Ci-N sent a voicemail to me saying they were at the cafeteria. At first, I didn't understand the message because of the ci-n's funny way of speaking. After listening carefully for a few minutes, I finally understood.

I said goodbye to chantelle, who had to leave because her mom was calling. Knowing she would get scolded, chantelle hurried off.

I then walked toward the cafeteria to meet my friends and Kiefer.

Kiefer's POV (Return)

Class was over, and I received a tap on his shoulder. Thinking it was Yuri, he looked up. It wasn't. It was the girl. She told him class was over. On the other side, David and Yuri were standing, watching. Kiefer gave the girl a cold look and said, "Don't wake me, don't touch me, don't talk to me again."

He stood, shooting a look at David and Yuri as if asking, "How did you make her do this?" Then he left with a cold but composed expression.

Kiefer instructed Ci-N to tell everyone to meet at the cafeteria. Still annoyed by Yuri and David, he headed to the place. Spotting his group, he took a seat, leaving space for his "wife"—Jayjay.

He grabbed a bag of lollipops, placed one in his mouth, and left the rest on the table. Then he asked Ci-N if he had told Jayjay they were at the cafeteria. With a mysterious smile, Ci-N nodded.
