Chapter 57 – Day 4: Kiefer's Spotlight
Jayjay's POV
The gym was electric. Every student's eyes were glued to the stage as Freya's voice rang out over the loudspeaker:
"Section E! Step up to the stage! Time to show your talent!"
Kiefer strode confidently to the mic. Felix settled at the piano, Yuri adjusted his guitar, and Blaster drummed in place. I practically bounced on my toes, heart racing. Oh no… not him singing! This is going to be chaos.
The first notes hit, and Kiefer's voice came alive:
"Sha la la la… Sha la la la…
She's crazy, but she's mine
Damn I lose my mind
She's dancing every night, singing sha-la-la-la-la!"
I squealed, nearly losing my balance. Ci-n nudged Ciel, and they were both giggling uncontrollably. Adrian, sitting a few rows back, leaned comfortably, smirking. Finally… a performance I can watch without being dragged into, he thought.
Kiefer continued, effortlessly playful:
"The kinda girl who really loves to dance
She loves to mess around with her friends
Wanna know her now, wanna love her now
I wanna make her be my girl!"
I clutched my cheeks. "He's… he's killing me with his voice!"
Felix's fingers danced over the piano keys, Yuri's guitar riffs added extra punch, and Blaster's drumbeat kept the tempo irresistible. Kiefer's energy radiated across the stage, teasing, flirty, fun.
"She likes to give a smile to every stranger
She loves to get her ass in any danger
Wanna love her now, wanna love her now
I wanna make her be my girl!"
The crowd was already cheering, but I barely noticed—they weren't as flustered as me. My eyes were locked on Kiefer, singing with all his charm. Adrian chuckled softly beside me. So much chaos… and I'm not even on stage.
The chorus hit again, louder and more energetic:
"She's crazy, but she's mine
Damn I lose my mind
She's dancing every night, singing sha-la-la-la-la!"
I could barely breathe. Ciel and Ci-n were bouncing in excitement, singing along softly just for fun. Meanwhile, Adrian just leaned back, enjoying the show and the chaos erupting around him. Finally, a peaceful day for me, he thought.
The final verse came, and Kiefer's voice soared:
"Sha la la la… Sha la la la…
Crazy, but she's mine
Damn I lose my mind
She's dancing every night, singing sha-la-la-la-la!"
The gym erupted into applause. Students whistled and shouted, but my attention was on Kiefer's grin and the playful energy of Section E. Ci-n and Ciel gave me mischievous smiles, clearly loving the performance chaos. Adrian's eyes twinkled as he shook his head, enjoying the drama from afar.
When the last note faded, Kiefer struck a dramatic pose. The crowd cheered wildly, and I was left flailing, red-faced, while Adrian leaned back smugly. Finally… a day I can just watch and enjoy.

The applause was still echoing in my ears as I stepped off the stage, letting out a long breath. Finally. Done performing. My voice was raw, my heart still racing, and yet… that rush, that energy, it never got old.
Immediately, a sea of students flooded toward me, shouting, waving their phones, asking for my YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and even Facebook. "Kiefer! Your Instagram!" "Kiefer! YouTube link!" "Your TikTok!"
I raised my hands, trying to keep the crowd at bay. Where's Adrian in all this? I scanned the crowd frantically, but the guy was nowhere in sight.
I called out to Yuri and Adrian, whispering, "Guys! Distract the crowd so I can get out of here!"
Yuri and Adrian immediately sprang into action, guiding groups of screaming fans away strategically. It worked. Slowly but surely, I carved a path to the side exit.
But… no JAYJAY. My heart twinged a little. She was never far, but she could blend into a crowd like a master ninja. I finally spotted her, back in the Section E building, sitting in the classroom, quietly muttering to herself.
She was complaining dramatically: "Why do all the fans only want Kiefer? He's impossible… I can't believe—ugh!"
I chuckled quietly, just standing there for a moment, watching her little theatrical tantrum.
"Your boyfriend is here," I said softly, stepping closer. "And you're talking to yourself?"
She spun her head, pretending to glare at me. "Go to your fangirls who are calling for you! Leave me alone!"
I smirked, slowly wrapping an arm around her shoulders. "Don't worry. I'm not giving out my info… unless you give me permission ."
JAYJAY let out a dramatic sigh, then put her hand on my shoulder as if conceding to my playful control. I guided her gently, sitting down first, and she perched herself on my lap comfortably.
I rested my chin lightly on her shoulder, just enjoying the quiet for a moment. Then, I asked softly, "So… how was my performance?"
JAYJAY leaned back slightly, looking up at me with a grin. "It was… amazing. Funny, too. And really good! You made everyone laugh and cheer."
I laughed at that, pulling her close and tilting my head. She gave me a gentle peg on my cheek, which only made me grin wider.
"You always do this," I said teasingly, holding her face carefully in my hands. And then, without thinking too much, I leaned in and kissed her — slow, soft, and deliberate. The kind of kiss that lingered in the air and made the chaos around us fade completely.
It was… perfect. So perfect.
When we finally pulled apart, we stayed close, wrapping our arms around each other in a tight hug. I could feel her warmth and hear her heartbeat, and somehow it grounded me after all the craziness of the stage.
Then the other boys came into the Section E building, and the teasing started again. They knew how to push us — laughing, nudging, and joking.
Adrian walked over, raising an eyebrow. "How long do you plan to sit on Kiefer's lap?" he asked.
JAYJAY's eyes widened, realizing she was still sitting there. She jumped up dramatically, brushing herself off while the boys laughed. I just shook my head, grinning at her antics.
The teasing didn't stop, but for a moment, the world faded to just her and me. And honestly? I didn't mind the chaos at all.
