Keifer pov
Jayjay walked up to the table like her body was present but her soul was still buffering with a girl .
Before anyone could say anything, A girl clapped her hands dramatically.
"Hi! I'm Chantelle Reyes," she announced brightly, then pointed straight at David. "And this is your baby."
The table went silent.
Kiefer choked on air.
COUGH.
David blinked. "Why is it always me? She's his baby, not mine."
Correct answer.
Chantelle turned to me, startled.
"Oh—sorry, Kiefer."
I blinked.
She knows my name… but I definitely don't know hers.
Jayjay shifted, still half asleep, and finally slid down to sit—
directly into my arms.
Good.
Balance restored.
"JAYJAY. YOUR BOYFRIEND IS KIEFER WATSON. THE Mark Kiefer Watson. THE YOUNGEST CEO. OWNER OF WATSON CORPORATION."
I swear the entire cafeteria paused.
Jayjay yawned. "I thought you knew."
Chantelle stared at her.
"I knew his name was Kiefer. I did NOT know his full government identity. Also, I didn't see him properly the other day."
Jayjay squinted. "Can you stop shaking me?"
"Oh—sorry." Chantelle immediately stopped and gently let Jayjay rest back in my arms.
Yuri smirked. "Looks like Cin isn't the only one who worries about you."
Chantelle turned slowly.
"…You are Yuri Hanamichi."
Yuri stiffened. "Why does everyone know my full name today?"
She scanned the table like a scanner app.
"You two are —Ciel Voss Delacruze Junior. Adrian Voss Delacruze."
Ciel waved. "Hi. Yes. Genetics."
Then she continued like she was reading a file.
"Felix—basketball player for HVIS."
Felix nodded once.
"Calix—lover boy."
Calix clutched his chest. "ex lover boy now I'm taken."
"Eman—chief ."
Eman smiled. "I cook feelings. also i remember you ,you came to my restaurant once "
then she looks at Endrix
then he speaks
"Endrix—hacker ."
Blaster and Drew raised a brow. "And us?"
She studied him. "Pure chaos."
Cin jumped in. "And me i bet you dont know ?!"
She turned.
"Cinco Neith Peralta. Youngest son of Dr. Peralta."
Cin screamed internally. "WHY DO PEOPLE KNOW MY NAME?"
Chantelle looked back at Jayjay.
"Wow, girl. You don't have friends. You have a powerpoint presentation."
Endrix nodded. "True. We're elite."
Everyone immediately started talking over each other.
"I'm rich."
"I'm athletic."
"I'm emotional support."
"I'm food."
"I'm romance."
"I'm crime—but digital."
I stared at the table.
Why am I surrounded by this much noise?
Chantelle gently placed Jayjay's bag on the table.
"I have something to do," she said. "later, okay?"
Then she looked at me.
"Tell Jayjay I won't go for class. She should meet me at our spot."
Before anyone could ask what that meant—
she disappeared.
I looked down at Jayjay, still warm against my chest.
"Where have you been all morning?"
No response.
She was asleep again.
Thirty minutes later, she finally woke up, looked around—and waved at Sienna.
Sienna waved back.
I noticed.
I hated that I noticed.
"So," I said calmly, "where have you been since morning?"
"SDR to class to class to SDR to class then SDR then class and now here."
"…SDR?"
She froze.
Then she jumped up, grabbed her phone—upside down.
"Yes. Yes. I'm coming."
Cin squinted. "Your phone is upside down."
She nodded seriously. "It's the new way of answering calls."
Then she ran.
I watched her disappear.
Slowly, I turned to Ciel and Cin.
"You guys ready for an interesting mission?"
Cin grinned. "I was born for nonsense with meaning."
"Good," I said.
"After school—you guys follow Jayjay."
As she vanished into the crowd, one thought stayed in my head.
Jayjay… what are you hiding from me?
