Chapter 75: Operation Jealousy
(Jay Jay's POV)
The next day started…
Way too quiet.
Which was suspicious.
Because when girls are quiet—
Something is definitely being planned.
We were all gathered.
Me, Mica, Rakhi, Grace, Freya, and Ella.
Sitting in one of the empty classrooms.
Door locked.
Curtains slightly drawn.
Mica leaned forward.
Serious.
Mica:
"Okay… listen carefully."
Rakhi crossed her arms.
Rakhi:
"This is important."
Grace smirked.
Grace:
"Very important."
Ella looked excited.
Ella:
"I love this already."
I raised an eyebrow.
Jay:
"…what are we doing?"
Mica looked at me like I just asked something illegal.
Mica:
"Prom."
Rakhi:
"And the boys."
Grace:
"And their ego."
Ella:
"And their reactions."
I blinked.
Jay:
"…go on."
Mica leaned even closer.
Mica (whispering):
"We're going to make them jealous."
Silence.
Then—
Jay:
"…I'm listening."
Rakhi smirked.
Rakhi:
"We show up looking unreal."
Grace:
"Not just pretty."
Ella:
"Dangerous."
Mica:
"Untouchable."
Freya, who had been quiet the whole time, finally spoke.
Freya:
"And we ignore them."
Everyone turned to her.
Grace smirked slightly.
Grace:
"I like that."
Rakhi nodded.
Rakhi:
"Very mean."
Freya shrugged.
Freya:
"It works."
I crossed my arms.
Jay:
"So we're… emotionally attacking them?"
Mica smiled sweetly.
Mica:
"Yes."
Ella giggled.
Ella:
"They won't survive."
Grace leaned back.
Grace:
"They'll lose their minds."
I smirked slowly.
Jay:
"…I'm in."
Rakhi clapped once.
Rakhi:
"Good."
Mica raised her hand.
Mica:
"One more thing."
Everyone looked at her.
Mica:
"No one shows their outfit."
Ella gasped.
Ella:
"Secret reveal?"
Grace:
"Obviously."
Rakhi:
"They see it at prom."
Freya nodded.
Freya:
"Maximum damage."
I laughed softly.
Jay:
"This is evil."
Grace smirked.
Grace:
"We know."
Then—
Ella suddenly turned to Freya.
Ella:
"Wait… are you even going with someone?"
Freya rolled her eyes.
Freya:
"I don't need a date."
Rakhi smirked.
Rakhi:
"Yes you do."
Grace crossed her arms.
Grace:
"Edrix."
Freya froze.
Freya:
"…no."
Mica smiled sweetly.
Mica:
"Yes."
Freya shook her head.
Freya:
"Absolutely not."
I leaned forward.
Jay:
"He likes you."
Freya:
"I don't care."
Rakhi smirked.
Rakhi:
"You will."
Ella grabbed her hand.
Ella:
"Come on… just say yes."
Grace added calmly.
Grace:
"You'll look good together."
Freya looked at all of us.
One by one.
Then sighed.
Freya:
"…fine."
The room exploded.
Ella:
"YES!"
Mica hugged her.
Mica:
"You won't regret it."
Freya rolled her eyes.
But there was a small smile.
Freya:
"I already do."
We all laughed.
And just like that—
The couples were set.
Jay & Keifer
Grace & Denzel
Mica & Calix
Ella & Aries
Freya & Edrix
Rakhi & Ci N
Operation Jealousy…
Was officially on.
(Keifer's POV)
Something was wrong.
Very wrong.
The girls were quiet.
Too quiet.
Jay wasn't telling me anything.
Which meant one thing.
Keifer:
"They're planning something."
Felix immediately looked interested.
Felix:
"I knew it."
Blaster leaned forward.
Blaster:
"What kind of something?"
Keifer:
"Dangerous something."
Denzel frowned.
Denzel:
"Grace has been ignoring me all morning."
Calix sighed.
Calix:
"Mica too."
Aries looked confused.
Aries:
"Ella smiled at me and walked away."
Ci N raised his hand dramatically.
Ci N:
"I sense betrayal."
Edrix blinked.
Edrix:
"Freya said yes to prom."
Everyone froze.
Felix:
"…what."
Blaster:
"That's impossible."
Keifer narrowed his eyes.
Keifer:
"Yeah. Something's definitely wrong."
Denzel crossed his arms.
Denzel:
"They're planning something."
Keifer nodded slowly.
Keifer:
"They are."
Felix smirked.
Felix:
"So what do we do?"
I leaned back slightly.
Thinking.
Then smirked.
Keifer:
"We plan too."
Blaster grinned.
Blaster:
"I like this."
Keifer:
"They want to surprise us?"
Felix:
"Then we surprise them."
Denzel nodded.
Denzel:
"Outfits."
Calix:
"Style."
Aries:
"Presence."
Ci N stood dramatically.
Ci N:
"EFFORTLESS HANDSOME."
Keifer smirked.
Keifer:
"Exactly."
Blaster pointed at me.
Blaster:
"And you?"
Keifer:
"I already know my color."
Felix raised an eyebrow.
Felix:
"Oh?"
Keifer:
"Midnight blue."
The boys nodded in approval.
Denzel:
"That's dangerous."
Calix:
"Very."
Felix grinned.
Felix:
"They won't survive."
Keifer smirked slightly.
Keifer:
"Good."
Meanwhile…
Across the city…
The girls had already reached the mall.
(Jay Jay's POV)
We walked into the store like we owned it.
Rakhi:
"Let's destroy their confidence."
Grace:
"Gladly."
Mica smiled sweetly.
Mica:
"Let's find the dresses."
Ella practically bounced.
Ella:
"I'm so excited!"
Freya crossed her arms.
Freya:
"Let's just make it perfect."
I smiled slowly.
Jay:
"Oh, it will be."
Because one thing was certain.
Prom night?
Was not going to be normal.
It was going to be a war.
And both sides…
Were ready.
