One Roof With Five Hot Jerks

Louis’ Point of View

“Didn’t we do too much? She seemed to be crying,” I said as Wendy ran into the Mansion.

“What are you saying?” Byron turned to me with a frown, “What she did to us is so much worse!”

“What about ‘us’? With us you are not included!” Sid contradicted what Byron said, “She just put cockroaches on your bed, while ours is worse.”

“Mine is also bad, ah! I’m scared of cockroaches. ” Byron even hugged himself.

“That’s enough,” Alyn entered the conversation. “Let’s go inside.”

“Wait,” I stopped them before they even started walking. They all turned to me and seemed to be waiting for what I would say next. “What if Wendy complains to GH?” “Yeah right?” Sid looked up and seemed to think.

“She wouldn’t do that!” Giles countered, “If she were to report, she would have done it a long time ago.”

Byron nodded in agree at what Giles said, “That’s right. That’s right.”

I just gasped because when I looked at Alyn it seemed like he had no intention of speaking. Hopefully Wendy won’t complain to GH.

After that conversation, we also entered the Mansion. I was in front of my bedroom door and was about to turn the doorknob when I stopped and turned around in Wendy’s room.

Is she crying?

I don’t know. I just feel like what we have done was wrong. Especially when I saw her eyes earlier that seemed to want to cry. If she’s upset now, it’s probably because of me. Damn. I want to say sorry and beg for her forgiveness.

I gasped again. And I was about to open my bedroom door when I noticed Alyn leaning against his bedroom door with his arms crossed and looking deeply at me.

He stood straight and lowered his hand, “Do you like her?”

I was shocked by Alyn’s question but I hid it. I smiled before answering, “No way.”

Yeah, no way. Why would I like her? I just feel sorry for her because she’s a woman. That is the only reason and nothing else.

“If you say so,” he shrugged before entering his room.

I stayed for a few more seconds in front of my bedroom door. And before I could finally go inside I took a glanced at Wendy’s room again.

I hope she’s okay.

I knew she would be angry with me and to my cousins for what we had done. But I hope that if I ask her for forgiveness, I hope she will forgive me.

To be honest, I want to be friends with her. If you will ask me why, I don’t know, there’s no particular reason. Every time I see her alone, there’s an urge on me that I want to approach her. But if I do that, she will only get more attention from others, and she may become more lonely.

Sometimes I think we should be good to her because she ran away after she found out that she was an adopted, she have nothing more except us. But what we were doing was giving her a hard time. I want to disagree with their plan to soften Wendy’s heart, and then we will retaliate. But in the end I did nothing but ride their plan because I don’t want to be hated by my cousins. Also, they will not listen to my opinion.

Yes, curse me all you want. I’m such a coward.

Maxine’s Point of View

I woke up with my eyelid heavy. When I looked at myself in the mirror I saw the swelling of both my eyes. Probably, because I cried yesterday. Maybe it will disappear later, I will just ignore it.

I took a shower and got dressed and then went down to go to school. I was shocked to see that five men were still here. I hurried back to my room and was thankful they hadn’t noticed me earlier. I looked at the time on my wrist watch, it’s close to 8:30 why aren’t they going to school yet? Aish. If I just hide here until they leave, I’ll just be late.

I took a deep breath before looking in the mirror to see if I was wearing properly. As I hovered myself in the mirror, my gaze stopped in my eye. They are still swollen.

“What should I do?” I asked myself as I looked around my room to look for something that could be used to not notice the swelling in my eye.

When I remembered something suddenly I went to the side table of my bed and opened the first drawer there. I smiled when I saw the sunglasses that GH had given me before he left for Canada.

I took the sunglasses and looked in the mirror again before putting on the sunglasses. There! This is okay. They can no longer see my eyes.

I decided to go down, just one step on the stairs they immediately turned to me. What? Did they really wait for me to do something bad again? I just rolled my eyes at the back of my sun glass.

As they looked at me they were obviously wondering why I was wearing sunglasses. What would be the reason for me to wear this in school? They were the ones to blame for this! They all stared at me until I could finally get down except for Alyn who was busy typing on his cellphone.

I didn’t speak and just accelerated my walk, so they wouldn’t think to ask me, I might punch them. When I got out of the mansion, I immediately looked for the driver who always drove me to and from school. He was fine and ready when I saw him, so I approached him.

It was a few minutes before we finally reached the school. As soon as I got out of the car, they were already looking at me, there were still people laughing and whispering. Instead of minding them, I just walked because I might be late in class again.

When I arrived in the classroom, all my classmates were silent. I even thought the class had started because of that, but I was wrong. I was surprised when I looked at my desk, it was full of garbage. It was obvious that the contents of our classroom trash have been dumped on the table of my chair. There are papers, skin of junk foods, water bottles, bubble gum and much more.

I clenched my fist before I walked towards my chair. I violently removed the trash from my desk and didn’t care if it littered the floor. I thought it was okay when I removed all the garbage but it didn’t end there. There is vandalism on my chair table. There are insults written there: ugly, slut, bitch, witch and many more.

I don’t know but only one person came into my mind and that was Alyn. I immediately left the classroom, I don’t care if I will be late in my first subject, I won’t miss what Alyn did to me. Isn’t he still satisfied with what he did to me yesterday, and he added more today?

I went up to the 5th floor and searched the classroom where Alyn was. When I found that I violently kicked the door causing me to get the attention of the students inside that room.

“Woah!” One of Alyn’s ugly classmate shouted.

I roamed my eyes inside to look for Alyn and my eyes stopped at the man resting his two feet on the table while his two hands were hidden inside his pocket. His four cousins were in his side who were obviously surprised when I entered.

I immediately walked closer to them and when I got closer I threw my bag in Alyn’s face which was the source of the noise. His four cousins stood up while he remained seated. He slowly tore my bag while he’s glaring at me.

“Hey, Yanny! Do you really want to die?” Giles asked in a panic.

I did not answer. I just stared at Alyn even though I was nervous. Of course, he’s a man, the impact will be different if he throws my bag back at me.

I swallowed my saliva as Alyn slowly stood up while still holding my bag.

Louis approached Alyn and held his arm, “Calm down, Alyn.”

“Calm down?” Alyn turned to Louis but immediately looked back at me, “He threw her bag at me!!” He shouted loudly. I could see the anger in his eyes as well as in his blushing face.

“Are you really the one who has the urge to get angry?!” I shouted back at him.

“Hey, Missy…” Sid called to me as if threatening me not to speak anymore, but I ignored him.

Alyn smirked, “Have you gone mad? What did I do to you?”

Did he really want to pretend to know nothing? The thickness of this one’s face! Who does he think he is? He always acts like a king here, he was really not satisfied with pouring mud on me yesterday, and he even wanted to add more garbage to my table?

“Don’t pretend like you don’t know anything! You actually ordered my classmates to poor the garbage inside the trashcan on my desk!” I said angrily.

His forehead furrowed, “What? How could I be at fault if that’s what your classmates want to do to you? And me?” He smirked and pointed himself, “Why would I order them to do that?”

Does he really not want to admit it yet? Damn. He’s pissing me off.

“Because you’re a jerk!” I replied.

His right eye twitched, “Pardon?” He even showed his ear.

“I said, because you’re a jerk.” I repeated.

“Take it back,” he commanded with an authority in his voice.

My left brow arched, “Why would I take it back if what I said was true?” Then I crossed my arms over my chest.

I was startled and seemed to run out of air around as my bag quickly flew to my side. He threw my bag! I looked at where my bag had landed, I just covered my mouth when I saw that the white board was punctured and my bag was inside the hole.

I slowly looked back to where Alyn was but instead of seeing him, a man’s chest greeted me. When I looked up to see who was standing in front of me I immediately backed away.

“Take. It. Back.” Alyn commands with emphasis. It seems like anytime soon I will be engulfed in darkness because of the aura he gives.

I can not talk. I just continued to step backwards while he was advancing until he cornered me. My back is now touching the white board.

“Alyn…” I called his name as my voice trembled.

My heart is beating so fast! I was nervous and afraid of what Alyn might do to me. “Don’t utter my name, take back what you said.” He said. When I lift my head up I saw the anger in his eyes.

It was just the word ‘jerk’ why is it so big deal to him? I know I should say something or else he will do something to me. However, I couldn’t open my mouth. “That’s enough, Alyn.” Louis tapped Alyn’s shoulder.

Alyn turned his head to Louis, “Are you ordering me?”

Louis sighed before he looked at me, “Look. You’re scaring her. She’s scared.”

“And so?” Asked Alyn seemed unconvinced by what Louis said to stop, “She started it. You saw it, too. Don’t you?”

“Yeah, but…” Louis couldn’t continue what he was going to stay. His eyes were just locked to me.

“But, what?” Alyn tilted his head waiting for Louis’ next word.

But before Louis could open his mouth, Giles tapped his shoulder, “Louis.”

Because of that, Louis had already removed his hand from Alyn’s shoulder. The two of them still looked at each other and seemed to be talking only with their eyes. “What’s happening here?”

I immediately turned to the speaker. I was very grateful when their professor arrived. I quickly grabbed my bag and pushed Alyn before I ran out of their classroom.

I bit my lower lip. That was close. If the professor hadn’t arrived what could have happened to me?

Alyn. That man is so scary. He really doesn’t care either you’re a boy or a girl.

But… if Alyn isn’t the one who made the garbage on my desk then who?
