Chapter 5 – Project, or Disaster? 📚💥
If there was one thing everyone knew about Section E, it was this: chaos wasn't just a habit—it was their brand.
So when Sir gave the group project, then walked out of the room, the place instantly exploded into a storm.
You'd think we were at a festival, not in class.
Chairs scraped, notebooks flew, and the noise? You could probably hear it all the way to Section A.

"OKAY, PEOPLE, LISTEN UP!" Blaster climbed on a chair like some kind of commander. "We need order!"
But of course, nobody listened. 😂
Felix vs. Calix were in the corner:
"Snacks first!" Felix insisted, clutching his wallet dramatically.
"Brain first, stomach later!" Calix argued.
"Bro, my brain runs on stomach!" Felix whined.
Ci-n & David were bickering like usual:
"Write the intro!" Ci-n shouted, waving her pen like a sword.
"No! Editing is my gift to the world!" David dodged, hiding behind Edrix.
"Gift? More like curse!" Ci-n snapped back.
Yuri & Josh were arm-wrestling—on top of a desk.
"This is the only way to decide leadership!" Yuri grunted.
Josh, cheating with his other hand, yelled back: "Leaders don't cheat!"
The desk wobbled dangerously.
Kit & Drew had stolen the board. They were doodling caricatures labeled "Jay 💖 Keifer = FATED" with a huge red heart.
"Wedding poster is DONE!" Drew announced proudly.
"Tag Sir in it!" Kit added.
The whole class howled with laughter.

Jay's POV 💙
I pressed my notebook to my face. "Why am I here? Why am I classmates with you gremlins?!"
Ci-n slid next to me, smirking. "Because destiny put you here… with him."
David leaned over, loud enough for everyone to hear: "Destiny—and maybe London too."
"STOP IT!" I snapped, smacking his arm. My cheeks were burning.
When I glanced across the mess, Keifer was just… calmly flipping through the project guide like none of this was happening. Like chaos was beneath him. And of course, that steady face made my stomach flip.

Keifer's POV ❤️
They could joke. They could shout. They could paint the whole board red with our names.
None of it mattered.
All I saw was Jay, trying to look annoyed, cheeks warm, notebook halfway hiding her face. She wasn't fooling me.
So I leaned forward, blocking out the chaos. "Jay," I said softly, "how do you want to start this project?"
---
The room froze.
Absolute silence.
Then—
"OOOOOOOHHHHHHH!" The class erupted.
"HE CALLED HER JAY!" Kit screamed, pointing like he'd uncovered a scandal.
"PROJECT OR PROPOSAL?!" Mayo shouted.
Rory clutched his chest. "My OTP has risen from the grave!"
Even Eren, who was usually quiet, muttered: "Finally."
The entire section burst into chants.
"JAYFER! JAYFER! JAYFER!"
---
Jay's POV
I wanted the ground to swallow me whole. "You guys are the WORST!" I yelled, shoving my notebook into my bag.
I stood up sharply. "If you all won't focus, then Keifer and I will plan it ourselves!"
Big mistake.
The room exploded louder.
"ALONE TIME! ALONE TIME!"
"DON'T FORGET TO INVITE US TO THE WEDDING!"
"BRING CAKE!"
I stormed out of the room, ears burning. To my horror, Keifer followed—calm, steady, like he didn't even care about the noise.
Behind us, the chanting got louder:
"JAYFER FOREVERRR!"
---
Hallway Scene
Finally, silence. I leaned against the wall, groaning. "They're never going to let us live this down."
Keifer chuckled quietly, hands in his pockets. "Probably not."
"This is torture," I muttered.
He tilted his head slightly, that almost-smile tugging at his lips. "Maybe… it won't be so bad."
My heart skipped. Again.

Meanwhile, back in class…
Section E wasn't done.
"Operation Jayfer: Official!" Yuri declared dramatically, writing it across the board. ( He has moved on from jay and have a girlfriend)
"We'll ship them until graduation!" Josh added.
Grace from Section A poked her head in, confused. "What is going on here?"
"History," Mayo whispered. "The making of history."
And Section E cheered like maniacs.
