Jay's POV..
I took a deep breath and stepped into Section E, my hand tightly holding Keifer's. His grip was firm, grounding, and I could feel the warmth of him by my side.
The moment we entered, all eyes turned toward us. Every head slowly turned, every whisper died as everyone realized what they were seeing.
Yuri just stared. No words, just silence. His eyes were wide, sharp, unreadable. I didn't flinch. I didn't care.
David's eyes widened, his mouth slightly open. "W-what…?" he muttered under his breath, clearly shocked to see us like this.
Denzel leaned back in his chair, glancing at us casually, trying to hide his surprise. "Hmm… looks like someone's happy today," he said, a small smirk on his face.
Ci-n grinned from the back. "Finally! Took you long enough!" he whispered, clearly amused.
Felix nudged me lightly. "Yeah… about time she forgave him," he muttered with a small approving nod.
Eman chuckled quietly. "Well… that's one way to make an entrance."
Mayo and Kit both gasped dramatically. "No way… they're together?!" Mayo whispered, flailing a little.
Blaster covered his mouth, whispering excitedly, "Wow… spicy! That was unexpected"
Eren leaned back with a smirk. "Damn… didn't expect that."
Rory and Edrix exchanged looks, quietly murmuring to each other.
Josh, as always, stayed silent, just observing every little movement.
I felt Keifer squeeze my hand gently, letting me know silently that he was here, that nothing else mattered. I glanced at him, and his eyes held a mix of relief, pride, and protectiveness.
We walked to our desks together, hand in hand. The class didn't know the full story—they didn't know I had forgiven him, didn't know that we were together. But they could see us like this. Together. Unshaken.
Just as I settled in, the door opened and Sir Alvin walked in, clipboard in hand. "Settle down, everyone. Exams are coming up, and I want you all focused before Graduation checks your progress."
Everyone straightened, silence falling over the room. Sir Alvin went on, giving instructions about the upcoming exams, explaining the schedule and rules. I listened quietly, letting the sound of his voice guide me into routine, while Keifer remained close, his presence steady.
By the end of the day, we packed our bags. Section E had regained some of their usual energy. Ci-n elbowed Felix, whispering something funny. Eman chuckled. Mayo and Kit were whispering excitedly. Drew and Eren were already planning some prank, no doubt.
I glanced at Keifer, who leaned slightly toward me, whispering, "Let's go."
We left the classroom together, hand in hand, while Section E teased quietly, their voices carrying behind us as the door closed..
