Chapter 28 - Keifer finally got to know that Jayden is Jay?!

Jay's POV

I am calm.

Very calm.

Extremely calm.

So calm that if someone measured my calmness right now, it would break the machine.

If jealousy was a sport, I would have already won a gold medal... broken the medal... and thrown it at Kiefer Watson's head.

Because across the room... sitting on MY sofa—

Okay not my sofa.

But still.

—sitting on the sofa in Kiefer's house like she owns the place...

...is Honey.

And beside her...

LIKE A TRAITOR TO HUMANITY...😠😡

...is Kiefer Watson.

Laughing.

Smiling.

Leaning closer.

Breathing the same air.

Why are they breathing the same air??

Is air limited??

Should I separate them??

My eye twitches.

Honey giggles and lightly hits Kiefer's shoulder

Excuse me.

Did she just touch him?

Did she.

JUST.

TOUCH.

HIM.

My brain screamed internally: Amazing. Wonderful. Beautiful.

Should I bring a knife ? Maybe two? One for Honey and one for Kiefer.

Actually no... wait... I'll need a bigger plan.

Step one: cut their hands off.

Step two: preserve them in a tiny coffin.

Step three: present it dramatically and say,

"Ladies and gentlemen, this was done by his wife—oh wait, correction—his very jealous and emotionally unstable friend."

I grip the stapler on the table.

Felix looks at me.

"Bro... why are you holding that stapler like you're about to commit a crime?"

I smile.

A very peaceful smile.

"Oh no... I'm just appreciating stationery."

Inside my brain:

If Honey laughs one more time I will staple her to the wall.

Across the room Honey leans closer to Kiefer.

CLOSER.

CLOSER.

CLOSER.

WHY IS SHE MOVING LIKE A MAGNET??

Kiefer smiles at her.

SMILES.

SMILES.

AT.

HER.

I inhale slowly.

Okay.

Okay Jay.

Relax.

You are not jealous.

You are calm.

You are mature.

You are emotionally stable.

Honey suddenly grabs Kiefer's arm.

My brain explodes.

I slam the table.

Everyone jumps.

Felix blinks.

"Bro... did the table insult you?"

"NO."

Across the room Kiefer casually says,

"You know Honey... I think I'm slowly forgetting my best friend Jay."

My heart stops.

What.

Did.

He.

Just.

Say.

He continues casually,

"Maybe I was just attached to childhood memories."

Honey nods dramatically.

"That happens when you meet someone better."

I stare at them.

Someone.

Better.

My soul exits my body

Inside my brain:

I will end them...Both of them....Peacefully.....With violence....

Felix whispers,

"Why do I feel like Jayden is about to start a war?"

Yuri nods.

"I think he already started it internally."

I stand up suddenly.

Everyone looks at me.

"Bathroom," I announce.

Felix points downstairs.

"Bathroom is there."

I point upstairs.

"Not THAT bathroom."

"Then which one?"

" The emotional one...to support my bladder emotionally " 

I walk away before someone asks questions.

Because if I stay there for one more second—

Honey will mysteriously disappear...from this world....

Kiefer's POV

I watched Jayden leave.

My lips curled slightly.

he's jealous.

Oh she is jealous.

I could see it.

The stapler incident confirmed it.

Honey whispered beside me.

"Your best friend looks like he wants to stab me."

I chuckled quietly.

"He probably does."

Honey grinned.

"So... the plan is working?"

I nodded slowly.

"Oh it's working beautifully."

But then something strange happened.

Jayden didn't return.

Five minutes passed.

Then ten.

I frowned.

"Where did he go?"

Honey leaned back casually

"Maybe he actually went to cry."

I stood up.

"I'll check."

Honey smirked.

"Ohhh someone's worried."

I ignored her.

But deep down my heart was beating faster.

Because one question was spinning inside my head.

What if Jayden really is Jay?

I quietly walked upstairs.

Then toward the rooftop door....

Jay's POV – Rooftop

The moment I reach the rooftop door, I slam it open.

"THAT STUPID IDIOT KEIFER WATSON!....GAGO.... ASSHOLE...."

I pull off my wig dramatically.

My real hair falls down and I grab it angrily.

"ARGHHHH!"

I start pacing.

"Oh look at me! I'm Kiefer! I'm handsome! I'm tall! Girls touch my arm and suddenly I forget my best friend!"

I imitate his voice.

"Maybe I forgot Jay."

I glare at the sky.

"OH REALLY?? YOU FORGOT ME??"

" ARGHHH! I swear if I see that Honey girl again I will push her off the roof!... And Kiefer! That idiot! Laughing with her like a stupid peacock!"

I kick a small rock.

The rock does nothing.

I kick it again.

It still does nothing.

"USELESS ROCK!"

I sit on a chair and tug my hair.

"And who does that Honey girl think she is??"

I glare into space.

"Touching him."

Mocking voice:

"Omg Kiefer you're so funny."

I throw the wig on the floor.

"If she laughs again I swear I will push her off the balcony."

I freeze.

"...not literally."

Pause.

"...maybe a little literally."

I groan and cover my face.

"AND WHY AM I EVEN JEALOUS??"

Silence.

I look left.

I look right.

"...I am not jealous."

Pause.

"...okay maybe a little jealous."

Another pause.

"...okay maybe VERY jealous."

I flop dramatically on the chair.

"Stupid Kiefer."

Pause.

"Stupid Honey."

Pause.

"Stupid feelings."

Then I groan loudly.

"And why is he so handsome?? IT'S NOT FAIR."

Kiefer's POV – Rooftop Revelation

I swear I didn't follow Jayden on purpose.

Okay.

That's a lie.

I absolutely followed him on purpose.

Because Jayden suddenly leaving the room right after I said I was "forgetting Jay" was... suspicious.

Very suspicious.

Also slightly satisfying.

But mostly suspicious.

So I quietly slipped out of the room while Section E was busy arguing about whether pineapple belonged on pizza.

(For the record, they were about to start a civil war.)

I climbed the stairs slowly.

And then I heard it.

"THAT STUPID KEIFER WATSON!"

I froze.

My brain stopped working.

Because that voice—

That voice wasn't Jayden's.

That voice was—

No.

No way.

I slowly pushed the rooftop door open just a little.

And then my entire universe paused.

Jayden was standing there.

Except...

Not really Jayden.

The wig was off.

Long hair fell around her shoulders like dark waves, shining under the sunlight. She was tugging at it in frustration, pacing like an angry kitten ready to destroy the world.

My heart did something illegal inside my chest.

It was her.

It was actually her.

Jay.

My Jay.

The same girl who used to chase me with a spoon when we were kids.

The same girl who cried when I stole her candy.

The same girl who went on a date with me and teased me ....

The same girl who made me go crazy thinking I have kissed a boy ....

And right now...

She looked even prettier than the memories I had been holding onto for years...than the last time I saw her ..

I leaned against the wall quietly before my legs betrayed me.

Because if she looked at me right now, she'd see a grown man having a full emotional breakdown.

She kept pacing angrily.

"That stupid Kiefer!"

I pressed my lips together to stop myself from laughing.

Oh really?

Now I'm stupid?

Two hours ago you were ready to murder Honey with a stapler.

Then she stopped and crossed her arms dramatically.

"And who does that Honey girl think she is touching him?!"

My brain exploded.

Oh.

Oh.

Interesting.

Very interesting

I almost applauded right there.

She continued ranting, completely unaware that the person she was yelling about was literally three steps away.

"I am NOT jealous!"

She paused.

"...okay maybe a little jealous."

I covered my mouth.

My shoulders were shaking.

"...okay maybe VERY jealous!"

That was it.

My soul ascended to heaven.

Baby girl.

You are confessing to the wind right now.

Then she groaned loudly and threw the wig on the floor.

"And why is he so handsome?? IT'S NOT FAIR!"

I looked up at the sky.

Thank you, universe.

Thank you for this beautiful moment.

Because right now I had three very important realizations.

First.

Jayden is Jay...and that means I am not gay...😉

Second.

Jay is jealous of Honey....that means she loves me...🤧😁

And third...

Jay thinks I'm handsome.... which concludes I am the one in her heart...❤️😘

Today is a good day.

A very good day.

I watched her sit down and bury her face in her hands.

For a moment, my chest softened.

She looked tired.

Frustrated.

Vulnerable.

And somehow... even more beautiful

The sunlight touched her hair, and I realized something terrifying.

If she had been walking around school like THIS instead of dressed as Jayden...

Half the school would've fallen in love with her.

Which means I would've had to fight them.

And while I'm confident in my abilities—

I don't think the principal would appreciate daily boxing matches in the hallway.

She muttered again,

"Stupid Kiefer."

I grinned.

Oh baby girl.

If you think I'm stupid now...

Just wait.

Because the moment I found out the truth, my brain immediately started planning chaos.

Beautiful, romantic chaos.

Flirty chaos.

The kind of chaos that would make her face turn red every five minutes.

I quietly stepped back from the door before she noticed me.

My heart was still racing, but now it felt... light.

Relieved.

Happy.

For day's I have wondered why I was falling for a boy when you were there in my heart since the beginning...

For day's I regretted on lossing my first kiss because it was supposed to be you... only you ...

But now I know.

She is here...

Right under my nose.

Hiding behind a stupid wig.

Flirting with me in school continuously... stealing my first kiss.. though I don't mind anyway.... because after all we will kiss more from now on and do more not so innocent things (🌚😘)...

I shook my head, smiling to myself.

"Baby girl..."

I whispered under my breath.

"You really thought you could fool me forever?"

I leaned against the wall, thinking.

No.

I'm not confronting her yet.

That would be too easy.

Too boring.

And honestly...

Where's the fun in that?

Instead...

I'm going to flirt with Jayden or i should say my Jay...

Relentlessly.

Shamelessly.

Until she can't take it anymore.

Until she slips.

Until she blushes so hard she forgets how to breathe.

I chuckled quietly.

"Oh baby girl..."

I looked back at the rooftop door where she was still ranting to herself.

"Run all you want."

My grin widened slowly.

"But now that I know who you are..."

I stretched my arms and cracked my knuckles.

"I'm going to make you regret hiding from me."

Because one thing is certain.

Jay thinks she's playing a game...

But she has no idea who she's dealing with.

I started walking downstairs, already imagining the chaos.

And honestly?

I almost felt bad for her.

Almost.

I laughed quietly.

"Good luck, baby girl."

"Because Kiefer Watson just joined the game." 😏
