Jay's POV
By evening…
the school festival had officially turned into complete madness. 😭
Hallways crowded.
Music everywhere.
Students running around.
Teachers slowly losing hope.
And somehow…
Class 3-E was one of the busiest rooms in the entire building.
Which honestly felt concerning. 💀
"WELCOME TO ETERNAL DARKNESS."
Felix's voice echoed dramatically from inside the classroom.
Then immediately after:
A scream.
Followed by Ci-N laughing like a dying goat.
Normal 3-E behavior. 😌
I leaned against the classroom wall watching students enter and leave nervously.
Some came out impressed.
Others traumatized.
One first-year walked out whispering:
"I saw my ancestors in there."
Reasonable honestly.
The decorations looked terrifying now that everything was fully set up:
flickering red lights
fake blood
vampire portraits
moving coffin props
creepy music
dark curtains
Even I would've been scared if I didn't already know the idiots behind it.
Then suddenly—
Freya and Matilda appeared outside the classroom.
Interesting. 👀
Freya crossed her arms confidently.
"It can't be THAT scary."
I almost smiled.
Famous last words.
The second they stepped inside—
The lights flickered.
Thunder sound effects exploded from the speakers.
Then Felix slowly dropped upside down from behind a curtain wearing vampire fangs.
"Welcome… to your doom." 🧛
Freya SCREAMED immediately.
Matilda grabbed her arm so fast she almost dislocated it.
I genuinely had to look away because I almost laughed.
Almost.
Rory slowly opened the coffin near the back of the classroom.
Then sat up stiffly like a possessed corpse.
"You cannot escape."
Matilda:
"WHY IS HE MOVING?!"
Ci-N appeared beside them whispering dramatically:
"Because darkness lives here."
Freya literally backed into a wall.
"…I hate this class."
"Thank you," Felix answered proudly.
Then somehow…
things got worse.
Because Matteo arrived.
And unfortunately for humanity…
he enjoyed chaos.
The second Felix saw him, his eyes lit up.
Dangerous combination.
"Do you want to scare people?"
Matteo smiled instantly.
"Absolutely."
Oh no.
Ten minutes later…
those two became terrorists. 😭
Matteo hid behind curtains.
Felix controlled the lights dramatically.
Rory fake-died repeatedly.
Ci-N made creepy whispering sounds through microphones.
And somehow Freya & Matilda kept becoming victims.
At one point Matilda walked past a mirror—
and Matteo suddenly appeared behind her wearing fake vampire makeup.
She screamed so loudly even nearby classes turned.
Felix collapsed laughing on the floor.
Ci-N couldn't breathe anymore.
Even Yuri looked impressed. "…That was evil."
"Thank you," Matteo said proudly.
Meanwhile…
Mila entered the classroom completely differently.
No fear.
Just excitement.
Her eyes sparkled looking around.
"THIS IS SO COOL."
See?
A normal person. 😌✨
Well…
mostly normal.
She walked around admiring everything:
fake candles
vampire paintings
dark curtains
black roses
Then suddenly she looked at me.
Paused.
Then gasped dramatically.
"JAY YOU LOOK SO PRETTY."
Half the class turned toward us immediately.
I felt my soul leave my body.
"…Why are you yelling?"
"Because LOOK AT YOU."
I looked down at my outfit awkwardly.
The stupid vampire dress Ci-N forced on me was actually nice unfortunately.
Dark red and black.
Long sleeves.
Silver accessories.
Very dramatic.
Very uncomfortable for my peace of mind. 😐
Then Mila looked toward Keifer.
Then back at me.
Then slowly smiled.
Oh no.
She noticed something.
Women are terrifying. 😭
Meanwhile Keifer stood near the doorway helping organize students entering the room.
Unfortunately…
he also looked annoyingly good in black.
Again.
Rude behavior honestly.
My brain:
Ignore him.
Me:
Failed immediately. 😔
Then suddenly—
the school speakers turned on.
"Attention students.
Results for best festival design will now be announced."
Instant silence filled the hallway.
Ci-N grabbed Felix dramatically.
Felix grabbed Rory.
Rory grabbed Endrix.
Endrix almost fell over.
Panic chain reaction. 💀
The principal's voice echoed again:
"Third place…"
Everyone leaned forward.
Not us.
Felix looked offended immediately.
"Rigged."
"THEY HAVEN'T FINISHED," Calix yelled.
"Second place…"
Still not us.
Now even I felt nervous.
Which was annoying.
Because I don't get nervous.
Usually.
Maybe.
Whatever. 😐
Felix looked ready to fight the education system.
Then finally—
"First place for this year's festival design…"
Silence.
The entire hallway froze.
Then:
"Class 3-E." 🩸🏆
Chaos.
Absolute chaos.
Felix screamed so loudly someone dropped their drink.
Ci-N climbed onto a desk yelling:
"DARKNESS WON."
Rory fake-cried dramatically.
Endrix shouted:
" HORROR."
Yuri actually smiled slightly.
Which honestly shocked me more than winning.
Even Freya looked impressed now.
Matilda still looked traumatized.
Reasonable.
Then suddenly—
Felix grabbed me and Keifer dramatically.
"THE VAMPIRE KING AND QUEEN HAVE LED US TO VICTORY."
I immediately pushed him away. "Stop touching me."
Keifer laughed quietly beside me.
And somehow…
he looked happier than usual too.
The class continued celebrating loudly around us.
And for a moment…
watching everyone laugh and scream and argue together…
it actually felt nice.
Chaotic.
But nice. 🩸✨
Then the teacher arrived.
One look at the classroom.
One sigh.
Then:
"Congratulations.
Now clean everything before going home."
The entire class froze.
Felix whispered sadly:
"…Victory was short-lived."
Honestly?
Tragic ending. 😔💀
End of Chapter 📖✨
🦇 "Class 3-E won the festival.
Unfortunately… they also won cleaning duty."
