Chapter 73: The Loudest Love
(Jay Jay's POV)
2 weeks after
Two weeks.
That's all it took for everything to change.
From chaos…
To calm.
From exams…
To graduation day.
The school was decorated.
Rows of chairs filled the ground.
Parents, families, teachers—everyone gathered.
The stage stood tall in front of us.
The banner above it read:
"Graduation Ceremony"
And for the first time in a long time…
I felt nervous.
Jay (muttering):
"…why am I nervous…"
Beside me—
Keifer was sitting like he owned the entire place.
Calm.
Relaxed.
Confident.
Keifer:
"You look like you're about to fight someone."
Jay:
"I might."
Keifer smirked.
Keifer:
"It's just graduation."
Jay:
"It's not just graduation."
I looked around.
Section E was sitting together.
Already being loud even before the ceremony started.
Felix arguing with Blaster.
Ci N hyping everyone up.
Denzel laughing.
Eman recording as usual.
David shaking his head.
Then my eyes moved further.
And I saw them.
My family.
Aries.
Sitting proudly.
Wearing his graduation outfit too.
Because yes…
He was graduating today as well.
Jay:
"Aries!"
He waved at me immediately.
Smiling.
And beside him—
Kuya Angelo.
Arms crossed.
Looking proud.
And next to him…
Tita Gemma.
Smiling warmly at me.
My chest tightened a little.
Jay (softly):
"…they came."
Keifer noticed.
Keifer:
"They wouldn't miss it."
I nodded.
Trying not to get emotional.
Then—
The ceremony started.
Names were being called one by one.
Students walking up the stage.
Receiving their certificates.
And then—
"Aries—"
I shot up from my seat instantly.
Jay:
"ARIES!!!"
The entire section turned.
Jay:
"THAT'S MY BROTHER!!"
Aries laughed while walking up the stage.
Shaking his head.
Jay:
"I'M SO PROUD OF YOU!!"
Keifer chuckled beside me.
Keifer:
"You're louder than everyone."
Jay:
"He deserves it!"
Section E joined in.
Felix:
"LET'S GO ARIES!"
Blaster:
"GRADUATE KING!"
The crowd laughed.
Aries received his certificate.
And before walking down—
He looked straight at me.
And smiled.
I smiled back.
Proud.
So proud.
Then more names were called.
More students went up.
And then—
"Jay Jay—"
Everything went quiet in my head.
Keifer nudged me slightly.
Keifer:
"Go."
I stood up.
Took a deep breath.
And walked toward the stage.
And then—
Chaos.
Keifer stood up behind me.
Keifer (shouting):
"SHE'S MINE, BOYS!!"
The entire place turned.
Keifer:
"I LOVE YOU JAY!!"
Blaster stood up too.
Blaster:
"QUEEN ENERGY!"
Felix yelled.
Felix:
"THAT'S OUR GIRL!"
Ci N screamed dramatically.
Ci N:
"LEGEND!"
Denzel was laughing loudly.
And I…
Was trying not to die from embarrassment.
Jay (muttering):
"…I'm going to kill him…"
But I was smiling.
I couldn't stop smiling.
I reached the stage.
Took my certificate.
And before walking down—
I turned.
Looked straight at Keifer.
Jay (shouting):
"I LOVE YOU TOO!!"
The crowd exploded again.
Jay:
"MY MAN!!"
Felix dropped to the ground laughing.
Blaster screamed.
Ci N clapped like crazy.
And I walked down the stage…
With the biggest smile on my face.
(Keifer's POV)
I didn't care.
Not about the crowd.
Not about the teachers.
Not about the looks people were giving me.
Because when Jay's name was called…
There was only one thing on my mind.
Her.
She walked up that stage like she owned it.
Confident.
Strong.
Unstoppable.
And I felt something in my chest.
Something loud.
Something overwhelming.
So yeah.
I stood up.
And shouted.
Keifer:
"SHE'S MINE, BOYS!!"
Felix lost it immediately.
Blaster joined in.
The entire Section E turned into chaos.
But I didn't stop.
Keifer:
"I LOVE YOU JAY!!"
Because I meant it.
Every word.
She reached the stage.
Took her certificate.
Then she turned.
Looked straight at me.
And shouted back.
Jay:
"I LOVE YOU TOO!!"
My heart almost stopped.
Jay:
"MY MAN!!"
The entire place went insane.
Felix fell off his chair.
Blaster was screaming.
Ci N looked like he was witnessing history.
And I just stood there.
Grinning like an idiot.
Because that girl…
Standing on that stage…
Shouting like she didn't care about anyone watching…
Was mine.
And I had never been more proud in my life.
When she came back and sat beside me—
I didn't even hesitate.
I leaned closer.
Whispering.
Keifer:
"You embarrassed me."
She rolled her eyes.
Jay:
"You embarrassed me first."
I smirked.
Keifer:
"Worth it."
She smiled.
And in that moment…
With the ceremony continuing around us…
With our friends still laughing…
With our families watching proudly…
It felt like the start of something bigger.
Not the end.
But the beginning
I had just sat down.
My heart was still racing.
My cheeks still warm from earlier.
And Keifer?
He was still smirking like he didn't just embarrass me in front of the entire school.
Jay:
"You're insane."
Keifer:
"You love it."
Jay:
"…unfortunately."
Felix leaned forward from behind us.
Felix:
"That was the best thing I've ever witnessed."
Blaster nodded dramatically.
Blaster:
"Historic moment."
Ci N wiped imaginary tears.
Ci N:
"Pure cinema."
I rolled my eyes.
But before I could say anything—
"Mark Keifer Watson—"
Everything paused.
My head snapped toward him.
Jay:
"Keifer—"
He stood up calmly.
Adjusting his sleeve like this was just another normal day.
But it wasn't normal.
This was his moment.
Keifer glanced at me.
Keifer:
"Don't do anything stupid."
I blinked.
Jay:
"…what?"
He smirked.
Keifer:
"I know that look."
Then he turned.
And started walking toward the stage.
And suddenly…
Something inside me snapped.
Oh.
So he can embarrass me?
And I'm supposed to stay quiet?
Absolutely not.
I stood up.
Fast.
Felix's eyes widened.
Felix:
"Oh no."
Blaster grabbed Ci N.
Blaster:
"It's happening again."
I didn't care.
Because Keifer had just reached the stage.
And I took a deep breath.
Then shouted at the top of my lungs—
Jay:
"I LOVE YOU MARK KEIFER WATSON!! ♥️"
The entire ground froze.
Heads turned.
Teachers blinked.
Parents looked confused.
And I wasn't done.
Jay:
"MY MAN—HE'S MINE, GIRLS!!"
Felix fell off his chair.
Blaster screamed.
Ci N lost his mind.
And I kept going.
Jay:
"MY HOT MAN!!"
The crowd started laughing.
Jay:
"MY SEXY MAN!!"
Denzel collapsed laughing.
Eman zoomed his camera aggressively.
David covered his face.
Keifer…
Stopped walking.
On stage.
He turned slowly.
And looked straight at me.
His expression?
Shock.
Pure shock.
And then—
He laughed.
Actually laughed.
Shaking his head.
Keifer (muttering):
"…she's crazy…"
Felix shouted.
Felix:
"SHE MATCHED YOUR ENERGY!"
Blaster:
"SHE WON!"
Ci N:
"ICONIC!"
Meanwhile…
I stood there.
Arms crossed.
Completely satisfied.
Jay:
"That's what you get."
Keifer finally reached the center of the stage.
Still smiling.
Still shaking his head.
He took his certificate.
And before walking down—
He looked at me again.
Then shouted back—
Keifer:
"SHE'S CRAZY BUT SHE'S MINE!!"
The entire place exploded.
Jay:
"YOU LOVE IT!"
Keifer smirked.
Keifer:
"I DO!"
Felix screamed into the air.
Blaster was jumping.
Ci N looked like he ascended.
And I?
I sat down again.
Heart racing.
Grinning like an idiot.
Because this wasn't just graduation.
This was us.
Loud.
Messy.
Chaotic.
And completely, undeniably—
in love.
