Ang Mutya Section E : The Dark Side

Back to School

Jay-jay's POV

Very Wrong! Am I going crazy, or am I already insane?

So annoying!

I can't understand what's happening to me. I already accepted Yuri's proposal; I shouldn't have done that thing with Keifer.

That thing-on New Year's.

That damn guy really knows how to mess things up. Ugh! Now, it feels like I'm two-timing. Damn it! The worst part? It almost happened. It really almost did!

Bataan almost fell. Damn it!

I don't even have the face to show to Yuri anymore. This is so frustrating! Every time I remember it-ugh! My heart starts racing. My face feels hot.

I looked at the ring on my finger. My older brothers wanted me to wear it and never take it off.

But every time I see it, I feel like I'm cheating.
"Sigh..."I muttered.

I got up from the bed. Back to school already-it happened so fast. I didn't even feel or enjoy the New Year celebration.

Because of Keifer...

I went straight to the bathroom to shower and get ready. I even rushed a bit since I didn't want to be late. While getting dressed, I heard people talking just outside my room.

I knew it was Aunt Gema and Brother Angelo. I just didn't understand why they had to talk right outside my door.

After getting ready, I stepped out, which made my brother and aunt stop talking.

"Good morning." I greeted them.

"Good morning too. Go eat." Auntie said with a smile.

I didn't look at or greet Brother Angelo. I was still upset with him.

I went straight to the dining area and saw Aries eating. As usual, he looked deadly serious. When does he ever smile?

_Only when he's with Ella._

While eating, I noticed Aries kept glancing at me like he wanted to say something.

him. "Do you have something to say?" I asked

"You're the one who needs to tell me something." He replied, making me look at him in confusion.

"Huh?"

"What's your decision? You'll stay in that stupid section of yours?"

Here he goes again. Does he really think he can make me leave now? Of course not. Brother Angelo wouldn't allow it. Especially since I'm in the same section as my so-called fiancé.

I didn't answer and just continued eating. Aries was obviously annoyed by what I did.

He suddenly stood up. "If you had listened to me, you wouldn't have been set up in that engagement." He said before walking away.

I stopped. If I had followed him, would this still have happened? Would I really be tied down to a marriage they arranged?
Honestly, I'm getting tired of thinking about this damn engagement.

I finished my meal and quickly got ready. I walked outside and noticed Aries' car in the garage. I thought he already left!

I glanced at the gate. Aries was standing there, seemingly talking to someone. I walked over to him and was a little

surprised when I saw who he was facing.

"Yuri..." I called. "...W-why are you here?"

He was leaning against his car with his arms crossed. He immediately smiled at me and straightened up.
