One Roof With Five Hot Jerks

Maxine’s Point of View

Since that day, I did not bump into Alyn. Also, I haven’t see him here for a week now. Maybe he’s sleeping with his friends or he just come home late and will come out again in the early mmorning. It’s not that I missed him, okay? It’s even in my favor not to see him here in the mansion because I also plan to avoid him in case I meet him. It’s been week since the day I got drunk, but until now, what happened that night is still clear to me. I feel like it just happened yesterday. Gosh, I can’t get rid of this embarrassment.

Knock! Knock!

“Missy,” Sid knocked. “Aren’t you done?”

“Wait! I’m almost finished,” I answered before I get my bag on my bed and ran to my door.

When I opened the door, I saw Sid and Louis standing outside. I thought I will only see Sid once I opened the door, I didn’t expect Louis to be with him. It got me surprised. And, shocks! Just seeing Louis makes my heart beats faster. Am I cursed or something?

“Are you just gonna stand there? We’re going to be late,” Sid interrupted my thoughts.

I turned to him, “Oh, yeah. Let’s go.”

I started to go to school with them since my drunken incident. Giles and Byron teased me that maybe if someone offered me a drink, I might agree because I don’t want to lose. Just like what happened that night. Moreover, GH started asking for our picture together. He asked us to send him our picture every time we go to school, just to prove that I’m getting along with his grandsons.

When we got down from the second floor, Louis touched my shoulder so I turned to him.

“Give me your bag, I’ll carry it for you.” He said.

Gosh, what is he doing? Does he want me to have a heart attack? So, gentleman! And, that’s why I like him. But, what should I do? My bag is not that heavy for him to carry. He might figure out that I was not studying well.

I shook my head, “No. I can carry it.”

“You sure?”

I nodded, “Yep,” then I smiled.

When I turned my head to my front, I was startled because I didn’t notice that Alyn was standing in front of us. I immediately averted my gaze and and I stepped to the left to avoid him but he stepped to the right. When I stepped to the right, he stepped to the left. Oh, gosh! Did he really mean not to let me pass?

My brows furrowed and I lifted my chin. I would have scolded him but when I saw how dark his aura was I couldn’t speak anymore.

“Tsk,” what he just said before he passed.

“What was that?” I asked myself and followed Alyn with my eyes.

“Don’t mind him, he didn’t mean that. I think he forgot something.” Louis said.

He didn’t mean to block the path? Okay, but why am I suddenly felt that there’s something weird in my chest, when I find out that he didn’t do that to tease me?

[At School]

I was not informed that we were going to play volleyball today. I didn’t bring my PE uniform and because of that, I became a ball picker. So tiring! But, I am not allowed to sit on the benches because I might not be given grades. Sigh, no one informed me because I don’t have friends. If only Troy was my classmate…

“Maxine, pick up the ball! Stop zoning out!” Our instructor shouted.

I just sighed and rolled my eyes before I walked to pick the ball. I was just trying to rest even for a moment, can’t he allow that? Tsk!

I was close to the ball when I saw Alyn, he was walking with his friends… I think? And, they are walking towards the ball. Bingo! If I call Alyn and ask him to kick the ball, I no longer have to approach the ball to pick it up.

“Alyn!” I called his name, thank God that he immediately turned to me, “Can you kick the ball, please?!” I really have to shout so that he could hear me because we’re in the covered court, there’s a lot of students passing by.

He just looked at me for a moment and after that, he just turned away and did not kick the ball. My lips were parted of what he did. Did he just… ignored me?

I heard the laughter behind me. When I turned around, I saw my classmates laughing at me. Of course, they heard me asking Alyn a favor. Who wouldn’t hear that? I just shouted the name of their prince.

“Does she think Alyn will follow what she asked? Tsk.”

“Yeah, right. So shameless.”NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

“Gosh, if only the instructor is not here I might grab her hair immediately.”

“I feel you, girl. She’s annoying.”

“An eyesore, yeah?”

“Correct!”

I just sighed and bit my lower lip before walking towards the ball with my head down. I really didn’t hear them talking, promise! They are being mad because I asked Alyn, what more if they found out that I am leaving with Alyn, ah no, that I am leaving with their five princes? They might even put a curse on me.

Hmp, nevermind that, what more important is the fact that Alyn ignored me in front of many people and that was so embarrassing. He can just reply that he don’t want to kick the ball, instead of ignoring me. Is he mad because I said that I hate him? But, that was just a drunk talk!

When I was about to pick up the ball, someone’s hand pick it up. I lifted my head and saw Louis. The heck, what is he doing here? And, why did he picked it up when I didn’t ask him to do that? Is he my prince charming or something?

“Here,” he handed me the ball. “You’re sweating. Are you tired?”

I get the ball from him, “Oh,” I chuckled when I noticed that my head was covered with sweat. “Yeah, I’m tired but the instructor won’t let me take a break.”

“Do you want me to talk to him?” He asked. He took the towel on his shoulder and wiped the sweat off my forehead.

I shook my head, “No, I’m fine and our time is almost over.”

He stopped wiping and smiled, “Okay. Do your best, Wendy. I’ll go ahead, hmm?”

I nodded, “Okay. Thank you, Louis.”

He just smiled and waved his hand before he turned away. While I went back to where my classmates were. As I approached them I could feel their sharp stares at me. Gosh, calm down guys, you might kill me with your stares.

“Tch, after Alyn, next is Louis?”

“What kind of word did she gave to Louis to wiped her sweat?”

“You saw that too?”

“Yeah, and that made me want to grab her hair more.”

“Did you also hear that the five princes punished whose bullied Maxine?”

“What? What kind of joke was that?”

“I don’t know, I just heard it.”

“I hope Elaine’s come back already.”

“Right? Our princess.”

I just sighed and pretended I heard nothing. But, who’s Elaine? I think I already heard it somewhere but I couldn’t remember where. The name is familiar, but maybe it’s because Elaine is a common name?

“Maxine Wards, go pick up the ball again.” Said the instructor.

My gosh! I just come back and will pick up the other ball again. Gosh! I will just bring my PE uniform everyday starting tomorrow, so I couldn’t suffer like this again.
