Jay-jay's POV
MISSING!!
Now, really! Why does it have to disappear now? How? The roasted chicken is missing! Who the hell is going to get it, while we're busy.
It's so scary, it's a whole chicken!
"Roll call!" Eman shouted, clearly annoyed.
"Call your name... If it's not there, it's probably up to something!" Rory said.
"Jay-jay!" I shouted my name.
"Eman!"
"Rory!" Rory shouted while still raising his hand.
"Edrix!"
"Tss!" The King of the Cobras said.
When did his name become 'tss'? We just ignored it and continued with the roll call.
"David..." David said boredly.
"Denzel."
"Yuri!"
"..." Josh said that we didn't hear. "..Josh!" He kept repeating.
"Blaaaaster!" Blaster shouted and made an explosion gesture.
"Calix the pogi with my Mica baby!"
I winced at what he said. Was that even necessary?
"Felix the cat!" Why are the names connected?
"The Amazing Eren!"
"Kit is so naughty!"
Wow!
"Drew! Barrymore... Hahahaha.."
"May! June! July! August!"
September! October----what is that?
I almost sang. These are all crazy. They say they are names. But there is something I didn't hear on Roll Call.
"Where is Ci-N?!" I asked while looking at them one by one.
They all looked around. The chicken was really missing.
He wasn't there! The roasted chicken was gone!
"CI-N TOOK IT?!" The chickens shouted at the same time.
They immediately ran to find Ci-N. Some went straight to the kitchen, some ran to the cafeteria and some came out of the restaurant and headed straight to the parking lot.
But they all returned, unsuccessful in their search.
Where is it----"ARAY!"
Something hit my leg while I was standing. I immediately looked at it, which was now on the floor. It wasn't clear to me, so I picked it up to see it properly.
A chicken bone?!
"What is that?" Eman asked me.
I showed her what I saw. We both looked at each other and
it seemed like we had only one thing on our minds.
We immediately grabbed the tablecloth, and together we started to move up. No way! The person who was eating appeared before us Ci-N under the table.
He took it!
We both picked him up by the arm and dragged him out from under the table. His mouth was still red from eating.
"Why are you eating the chicken alone?!" Eman asked annoyed.
"Hhmmm... Hmmm..." Ci-N said with her mouth full.
"Oh my, Ci! You're being stingy again!" I said before letting go of him.
His fellow cobras were already looking at him badly. It was his fault, was it right for him to run away and eat the chicken alone.
"Please tell us you didn't just cook one." David said to Eman.
Eman entered the kitchen. I looked back at Ci-N. He had already swallowed the one he was chewing earlier and managed to smile at me.
There was still a hint!
Eman came out followed by the two crew and they were holding four whole chickens.
Nice! Nice!
"That's fine!"
"Let's eat again!"
"Let's go! Let's go!"
They almost clapped in joy. Ci- N was about to approach but I blocked her.
"You're eating, right?"
"Just throw it... Please!" She pleaded while pouting.
I winced. I let her go and let her fellow cobras who were blocking her take care of it.
"Hurry up with the food and Yuri will perform for us!" Rory announced.
I looked at Yuri who was currently in front and adjusting the guitar. I don't remember us talking about him performing. Maybe it was just a fluke.
I went back to the place where Mica and I were earlier. Calix was also there and they were still trying. Maybe these two were ants.
"What did you give as a gift for what you pulled out?" Calix suddenly asked me.
Hehehe secret!
"I don't want to say... Maybe it's you, then the surprise is ruined."
Mica laughed slightly. She wasn't included in that gift. It was late because Calix told us that his gf would be celebrating with us. Suddenly Ci-N came up to us. Pouting and teary-eyed.
"They fought me..." She complained, pointing at Mayo.
"Why?"
"They didn't want to give it to me... *Sniff*..." She said and almost sniffed.
Mica and Calix just laughed at her. It was her fault. That's it, she couldn't ask for it anymore.
"I'll just get it." Mica nodded and stood up.
"Nice..." Ci said, punching the air.
Look at this person. I really don't have anything to say. As long as there's food, she'll do everything. Speaking of food, I've been noticing Kit for a while. It seemed like he had no appetite. The food he had earlier in front of him didn't seem to be diminishing either. Then I suddenly remembered the picture on Eren's phone. I approached him and sat across from him. He looked at me and smiled.
"How are you? Why are you alone?" I asked.
"Nothing... It's just tiring to mess with them." He replied with a smile.
"Sure? No problem? Sick?"
"I'm sure. No problem. I'm not sick." He answered my questions one after another.
I just nodded in acceptance of what he said. Mayo passed in front of us and smiled at me. He didn't look at Kit, though.
Oh wait....
"You're here, Mayo." I told him and pointed to the bench next to me.
He shook his head quickly. "I'm over there..." I pointed to Josh's table.
"Here..." I insisted.
He was clearly embarrassed and didn't want to but he was forced to sit on the bench I pointed to. He put the plate he was holding on the table.
The awkwardness immediately took over. It was as if it evaporated from both of their bodies and started to move around us.
I guess I did it wrong. In my desire to prove if there was a gap between them, this is what I got.
Kit was looking at the food. I just watched the two of them. Mayo started eating and so did Kit. They kept stealing glances without meeting each other.
The dad?!
"Did you two fight?" I suddenly asked.
They looked at me at the same time.
"H-no..."
"W-why?"
They said almost at the same time. They actually asked. Oh! If only I had known.
"You guys aren't paying attention." I told them.
"W-what are you doing? We're really like that... Aren't we?" Mayo said while smiling and facing Kit.
This one tried to smile and couldn't figure out whether to face me or Mayo.
"Oh-yes.. that's true. That's just how we are." Kit said.
I winced. It was so obvious what they were doing.
"Your plastic, right?" I said and immediately walked away from them.
Even though I was intrigued by the two of them and itching to know what the picture really meant, I chose to leave. Their expressions were so annoying.
To be honest, my body was still heavy but my mind was also losing focus because my attention was on this party. I looked at Ci-N who was doing the bubble dance again. She was still teaching Eren and Blaster. I then shifted my gaze to David and Eman who were arranging the food.
Calix and Mica who were constantly enjoying themselves. Josh who was looking at something else. Oh! I know!
Edrix laughing with Rory and Denzel. Kit and Mayo still not talking. Felix and Drew with us music. Yuri was fixing his instrument.
And.... The King of the Cobras was looking at me.
I stopped for a moment and thought. Is this what I would change for Papa? Is it worth leaving them? Suddenly the music changed. The two of them seemed to have changed. Ci-N immediately came to me and took my hand.
"Come on! Let's dance!" She told me.
"Wait, Ci!"
Tengene! I guess she forgot that my body was still hurting. We stopped in the middle where the others were. They were also dancing. Until I noticed that they were already surrounding me and suddenly....
"🎶...The flowers are opening, the queen is coming in! Chacha will dance!
How fun! ..🎶"
I just shook my head at the silliness of these people. They were still holding hands and were so happy with what they were doing.
"Dance Jay!" Denzel shouted at me.
Even though I looked stupid, I just danced like a child. I could feel the pain in every movement I made, but my joy was overwhelming. The cobras gave me loud applause and laughter.
"Hahaha.. nice Jay!"
"You're really good at dancing!"
"Jay-jay!"
"You're so impressive!" I shouted at them.
"Keep dancing!" Ci-N shouted and the music suddenly got louder.
The lukos looked like they were at a wild party. Losers were losing and some were still laughing. Even Mica and Calix were dancing. I tried to leave their group. I hadn't been there long, my body was already hurting.
"What? Can you do it?!" David asked me with a smile.
"Tse!" I scolded him.
He laughed a little. Suddenly, he handed me a small box with a ribbon. It was bigger than the one Yuri gave him.
"Merry Christmas..." He said and smiled.
I was about to ask him but he suddenly walked away from me.
Are they really like this? After giving the gift, he leaves?
I opened the box. Letter J. Silver J with a small diamond in the middle. I thought it was a bracelet because the J is mostly black but it turned out to be a necklace.
I accidentally dropped the lid of the box. I put what I was holding down on the table and picked up the lid. I stopped when I noticed a symbol.
I'm not sure but the symbol looks like a fork----ay! The one Poseidon is holding! Trident!
Right! Right! I've seen this on TV before. I looked closely and there was a From above the symbol.
Hm?! This is from Poseidon?!
I took the box and necklace, looked for David and immediately approached him.
"Thank you for this!" I opened up to him.
"Don't thank me... It's not from me, I just gave it to you." He replied me with a wink.
Huh?!
Who would give it to me? The one with the symbol of Poseidon? Maybe it's really Poseidon? Do I know a Poseidon?
Instead of thinking about who gave it to me. I just let it go, put the box in my bag and enjoyed the lukos again.
I want to make the most of this opportunity!
This won't happen again...
