Jay's POV
I slammed the bedroom door shut. Only God knew how I had survived the walk home from school without spontaneously combusting.
I threw my bag onto the bed and started pacing around the room like a caged animal, pressing the ice pack against my throbbing forehead. Damn it — I was burning up. Not from the Philippine heat. From pure rage. My head felt hotter than the damn sun outside.
Every few steps, a new insult slipped out under my breath.
"Idiot."🙄
Five seconds later.
"Shameless idiot."😤
Another lap around the room.
"Overgrown golden retriever."😠
Back and forth.
"Walking red flag with legs."😡🏃🚩
Pacing was supposed to help you think. Back and forth, back and forth — like your brain was a hamster on a wheel that might eventually solve nuclear physics if it ran long enough. Right now, my hamster was just screaming. The rug under my feet was probably getting friction burns. I was pacing so hard I could win an Oscar for "Most Dramatic Overthinking Teen."🤧
My phone buzzed on the bed.
I ignored it.
It buzzed again. And again. And again. Like an angry bee that had just discovered unlimited texting.
After the hundredth buzz, I finally snatched it up.
💌 Keifer: Sunshine~ ☀️ You back from school yet? Still thinking about me? Or are you just standing in front of the mirror staring at your neck? 🌚❤️
I screamed into my pillow.
💌 Jay: Hope you die.🙄
💌 Keifer: So violent 😭 But you look cute when you're angry. Come on, admit it. You miss me already.
💌 Jay: I miss kicking your balls.😤
💌 Keifer: Kinky. I like it 😏 But how do you know they're little, baby?😉😉 Believe me... they're not. It's big enough to make you scream my name so loud the whole neighborhood will need earplugs. 😜I can make you limp for days, baby girl🌚... You miss my body too? My lips? The way I pinned you against the wall last night? 🥵
My knees actually weakened. I dropped onto the edge of the bed, heart hammering wildly. This idiot was going to be the death of me.
💌 Jay: Stop texting me, you shameless animal!!😡
💌 Keifer: You called me "baby boy" last night... right before you moaned into my mouth. Don't act all innocent now, baby.😭🥺
I didn't reply. I couldn't. My mind was replaying that moment on loop — his low voice, his hands, the way my body had betrayed me so easily. A rhythm I refused to name was humming through my veins.
💌 Keifer: Your silence is deafening...😁
💌 Keifer: Are you staring at my messages and blushing right now?😉😃
💌 Keifer: I can feel you blushing from here, Jay 😉...
suddenly, a thought kicked my half-melted brain so hard I actually stopped pacing.....
.Wait a minute!!!!!!!!
Keifer's words... they sounded way too familiar.
The way he teased me today at school as "Jayden."is same he is doing now......The way he flirted shamelessly. The way he kept bringing up hickeys and "being good in bed" like it was the most normal thing to say to another guy.
My brain short-circuited.
Wait a damn minute...😲😲🤯
"Okay. Okay. Let's be logical about this," I muttered to myself, pressing the ice pack harder against my forehead like it could freeze my stupid thoughts. "He noticed the hickey. Obviously. He made it. He's the criminal. Then he started talking about how someone who leaves a hickey like that must be really good ...uhhh ....you know...in bed... and how his thing.... isn't little... and how he could make someone limp for days... obviously not me ....."
I froze mid-step.
My eyes widened.
"Oh my god."
I slowly lowered the ice pack.
"Maybe He wasn't talking to Jayden at all that time..." I whispered in horror. "He was talking to me.... As Jay. As a girl....as his childhood friend.....as someone who roams with his damn hickey.... The whole fucking time."
The realization hit me like a truck doing 120 km/h.🚒🚒
I slapped my own forehead. "Jasper Jean Mariano, you absolute walnut! You coconut-headed idiot! You blind, oblivious, disaster!"
I started pacing again, faster this time, waving the ice pack like a conductor's baton.
"He's been flirting with me knowing I'm a girl! For days! Weeks maybe! While I was out here having a mental breakdown every time he got too close or called me 'baby girl' in that stupid husky voice!"
I stopped dramatically in front of the mirror and pointed at my own reflection.
"And you! You were too busy panicking about the hickey to notice the giant neon sign flashing above his head that said 'I KNOW YOUR SECRET, DUMBASS'!"
How The Fuck He Knew?!!!!!
I groaned and collapsed backward onto my bed, staring at the ceiling like it might give me answers.
"But wait... if he knows... why didn't he confront me? Why didn't he interrogate me? Drag me to the principal's office? Tell the whole Section E? Why is he just... teasing me like this?"
A horrifyingly logical answer popped into my head.
"Because he's Keifer Watson," I whispered. "He's not normal. He enjoys this. He is crazy. He's been playing with me like a cat with a mouse. A very flustered, scarf-wearing mouse who keeps calling him 'baby boy' and then panicking."🙄🙄
I rolled over and screamed into the pillow again.
"AAAAAHHHHH I'M SO STUPID! I thought I was being so clever with the disguise! I had a whole plan! Section E! Boy mode! No one would know! And this golden retriever-looking red flag has been onto me the entire time?!"
I sat up again, hair a mess, eyes wild.....but Wait..is his thing really big?🤔 ...well will it hurt at first time .😭😭.i should tell...,,.... Wait a minute....what the fuck am I thinking🤯🤯🤯!!!!!!!!!!!!....
WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ME?!"
Jesus!!! I need holy water....holy moly!!!!
I flopped back down, kicking my legs in the air like a dying bug.
"Jasper Jean Mariano, you have officially lost it. You went from pretending to be a boy to having full-on unholy thoughts about the same boy who gave you the hickey you're trying to hide. Your brain deserves to be evicted."
But the thoughts kept coming, faster ....
What if he's been laughing at me every time I deepened my voice?..well .he wouldn't dare.... cause .I will kill him if he did...😏
What if he purposely "accidentally" brushed against me in class?..I should have thrown a spider at him .....🙄
What if every time he whispered "baby boy" he was actually thinking baby girl? ...well sure he isn't gay so he is thinking baby girl....🤔
I grabbed my phone and stared at his last messages, cheeks flaming.
He knew.....He definitely knew.
And instead of exposing me... he was sending me texts about making me limp for days.
I screamed into the pillow one last time.
"I hate him. I hate him so much. Why is he so hot when he's being an evil mastermind?!"....😭
