One Roof With Five Hot Jerks

Maxine’s Point of View

“What is your problem?!” I shouted.

“Easy,” she smirked. “I’m sorry because the glass of juice slipped in my hand.”

My jaw tightened with annoyance. Did she think I would believe her lame excuse? Pwes, she’s wrong!

I raised my eyebrow at her, “Ah really?” I took the glass filled with iced tea from the table and poured it on Ferries’ head as well. “I’m sorry, it slipped out of my hand too.”

She hissed, “W-What the fuck is wrong with you?!” She looked at me angrily after looking at her face through the compact glass. “You really dared to do this to me ?!”

“Easy,” I smirked. “I’m sorry because the glass of iced tea slipped in my hand.” I imitated what she told me earlier.

Her face is very red, it is obviously very angry and anytime she can explode because of anger. It looked around so I looked too, it was only then that I noticed that the students around us seemed to stiffen. Even Ferries’ friends couldn’t speak. Angela, on the other hand, also looks shocked and the fear of what might happen is obvious on her face.

“Argh !!!” She screamed because of the anger it felt. “You…” her finger trembled as she pointed at me. “How dare you ?!” She shouted before pulling my hair.

Fuck! Here we are again! For goodness’ sake, I don’t want to go to the detention office!

I grabbed her hand that was holding my hair to remove her hand from it but her grip on it is hard to remove.

“Let go!” I shouted but she didn’t seem to hear anything because she was still tweaking my hair. It’s very painful! “Angela, help!” I call Angela.

She seemed to get back to her senses when I called her because she stood up immediately. But when she was about to take Ferries away from us, Ferries’ friends immediately blocked her. Damn! I ‘m doomed! Who else can help me besides Angela? No more… no more because I have no friends other than her. And I knew no one here at school except her, the five monkeys and this demon Ferries in front of me.

“How dare you do that to me, huh?! You’ll pay for what you did! I’m telling you, from now on your life at this school will be miserable!” She said while still not letting go of my hair.

I can already feel my eyes watering because of the pain of her tweak. I can’t retaliate because Ferries’ female friends suddenly grabbed my hand so that Ferries would be free to enslave me.

My cheek went numb as I felt her slap me repeatedly, left and right. I want to cry because of the pain but I’m holding back, I don’t want to look weak especially in front of this woman. When I showed my tears to her, it was as if I had already said that she had won. That will never happen!

“What, huh ?! Are you going to repeat that?” Ferries asked before stepping on my stomach. “You’re just a cockroach to me, you have no right to embarrass me in front of so many people!” She added.

I can’t seem to stand up anymore because she kicked me in the stomach. My vision is also blurring and I seem to want to close my eyes.

“That’s enough! That’s too much, Ferries! That’s not right! Can’t you see that she’s weakening? She can’t take your torture anymore!” Angela waved at Ferries.

“Wow. So, you want to be friendly at these times? What are you? A superhero trying to defend her? Or maybe you also want to experience what she went through?” Ferries threaten and slowly walk closer to Angela.

I could see the fear in Angela’s eyes and it seemed like anytime it would cry.

“S-stop…” even though I was weak, I still forced myself to speak. “Not her.”

“Woah~ look at this! Isn’t that what you called friendship?” Glad it says so. She seemed really happy with what was happening. Demon frog really!

No one spoke to us. I didn’t answer, I only felt bad for her. Immediately her expression changed and she walked closer to me. She grabbed my chin before slapping me with extreme force, causing my face to go in a different direction. I could no longer feel the pain because of the numbness of my cheek. I spit when I tasted the blood in my mouth. Fuck.

“Yuck!” Ferries immediately walked away from me out of disgust. “Don’t even spit anywhere, we’re in the cafeteria!”

I looked at her weakly, “You know… we’re in the cafeteria… Why are you still doing this… work?” I could already feel the weakness in my voice.

Soon after, Ferries’ assistants let me go, causing me to sit on the floor. I can no longer support my leg to even stand up. My body is really weak because she kicked me in the stomach earlier. Even now, I still feel the pain.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“Argh!” It went crazy with annoyance. She dropped all the food Angela and I had on the table. All the students also hissed because of the intense sight. “Why are you answering so much?! You’re annoying!” She shouted at me.

With the number of students here in the cafeteria, no one has any intention of helping me and begging Ferries. Even those who work here in the cafeteria are just watching us. Is Ferries’ family so powerful that no one dares to oppose her or go against her wishes?

“Wow, it’s quiet! What’s up?”

My ear throbbed when I heard the familiar voice. Did I think they were done eating? Why when the break time is over do they just come down here?

The speaker earlier was Byron. I don’t know but I seemed to pull a thorn in my heart when I found out that they were just going to eat. Because other than Angela, they are the only ones I know here. Maybe it’s not wrong to rely on them to help me stand up. But they still didn’t notice us. Maybe it’s because of the crowd and the others that blocked the five idiot’s vision.

Ferries’ eyes widened after looking back at Alyn’s group approaching in our direction. Ferries quickly approached me and forcibly used my hand to slap herself.

“Ahh!!” She screamed and acted like you think I’m oppressing her.

“OMG! Ferries, are you okay?” One of Ferries’ friends acted like a dog. She even approached Ferries then Ferries hugged her and pretended to be crying.

I already know what they are doing. Ferries will once again show that I am the bad girl and she is the one who was offended. But Louis wouldn’t believe them because I was with them at home. I am the one that they will help.

Ferries’ shout immediately caught the attention of the five men and they hurriedly approached us. I could see the shock on the faces of all five of them except for Alyn who was always serious.

“Louis-”

Their gaze just passed me by and they immediately greeted Ferries. Reason for me not to continue what I would have to say. They helped Ferries stand up and she quickly hugged Alyn.

“Alyn, help me. She slapped me.” While Ferries was saying that, Alyn looked straight at me.

“Wow. I can’t believe you, Yanny. Did you really slap her? Do you want to be suspended?” Giles said, like he really believed in Ferries’ acting.

Can’t he see how I look?! I am the poor one here! Why do they always believe in that woman’s acting? Isn’t it enough that I am with them in the mansion for them to believe and side with me? They don’t even ask me what really happened, they immediately make a conclusion based on what they saw.

Haa… of course. I have never been an ally in my life with those five, in fact I have always been their enemy. So how do they side with me now? And how will they believe whatever I tell them?

I averted my eyes from them and simply did not speak. It was as if my heart was being squeezed because of the fact that even if I explained, they would never believe me.

“What happened?” Sid asked. “Who started the trouble?”

“She was!” Ferries answered quickly while pointing at me as one of her arms was wrapped around Alyn’s waist. “This girl can prove that.” And she pointed at Angela.

Angela and I were both surprised by what Ferries said. Is she crazy? If Angela were her witness, she would probably tell the truth-

“Maxine started the trouble.” Angela’s answer immersed my world.

It was as if heaven and earth had fallen on me. I even feel that I have no ally in the world but myself. I feel like everyone is working together to push me on the edge of the cliff. When I looked around, they were all looking at me and seemed to be saying it was all my fault. That I am the bad one.

Why? I didn’t do anything… I just fought back for my right. So, why are they ganging up against me?
