Chapter Forty-five
Maxine’s Points of View
What’s this? Since when did I had a teddy bear? But it’s not fluffy at all. My forehead furrowed while my eyes remained closed. I ran my hand over the teddy bear I was hugging and pinched it.
“Ouch! Fuck!”
I immediately opened my eyes and woke up when the teddy bear suddenly shouted, or did I just think it was a teddy bear?
My eyebrows immediately met when I mistakenly thought, “What the fuck are you doing here!?”
He turned to me with his forehead furrows while caressing his hips, “The heck is wrong with you? You pinched my hips and now you’re asking me what am I doing here?”
After he said that all that happened yesterday flooded to my mind. I just smacked my forehead. Oh my gosh! I forgot that he slept here. But didn’t we put a pillow between us? So, why when I wake up there’s no pillow to find between us? And even worse, I hugged him! My gosh, this is so embarrassing.
“Whatever, just get out alrea-” I couldn’t finish what I was going to say when the door of my room suddenly opened and the four monkeys are suddenly showed up.
BOOGSH!
“Missy, wake up!” Sid shouted as he opened the door. “Eh?” He tilted his head as he saw Alyn beside me.
“This is an emergency, Alyn is missing!” Byron entered next but stopped right away when he noticed that Alyn was beside me.
“I said don’t wake her up,” I heard Louis before he finally showed up.
“Hey, you’re blocking my way, Louis.” I heard Giles but I can’t see him because he’s behind Louis. “What the heck? Do you have no plans to step aside?”
Damn, how did they opened the door? Wasn’t it locked? My gosh, I can’t move. I look like a statue here because I just stayed still while my mouth was open. Damn, I can’t move! It seems like I was caught cheating.
“Y-You… you’re safe, bro!” Sid said and hurried to Alyn.
The hell? Did they really thought that Alyn gone missing? As if.
“Alyn?” Giles asked still behind Louis, “Alyn’s here? What the fuck, bro?!” Then he pushed Louis to get through.
“N-No, that wasn’t the case here, shitheads.” Byron said, still stunned. “What is Alyn doing here?”
Sid turned to Byron, “Now that you asked about that…” then he turned to Alyn and I, “Why did you not invited us? Huwaa!”
Giles walked towards Sid and hit its nape, “Stop acting like a child, idiot. Try to read the situation.”
Sid did not answer and just scratched his nape.
“Did you sleep here last night?” Louis asked.
Alyn tilted his head, “What if I am? What will you do?”
Louis’ brows met, “You mustn’t sleep here, Alyn. You have your own room. What else do you want to do here?”
Alyn smirked, “Wait…” he caressed his chin, “Are you jealous?”
Jealous? Louis is jealous?
“S-Stop, okay?” I interfered, “We’re going to be late if we don’t move yet.” I averted my gaze and left the bed, “Move. Get out! We’re dead to GH when we’re late for class.”

“Woah, what’s up now?” I asked myself as I roamed my eyes around the campus.
Here I am on campus. I left the mansion first so I’m sure those five men aren’t here yet. There seems to be an event today at school because of the designs I see. Many students also ran to the stage.
“Hey,” someone touched my shoulder.
I turned to find out who it was, and it was Troy. I automatically smiled and waved my hands, “Hey, how are you?”Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
“I’m fine,” he smiled. “How about you?”
“Uhm… I’m fine too,” I averted my gaze and shifted it to the students in the covered court, “Is there an event today?”
“Based on what I heard, there is a band that will play today because it is the birthday of the director of this Calteron Academy,” Troy replied.
I nodded, “Oh, I see.”
“Aren’t you going to your class yet? You might be late,” he asked.
“Oh! I almost forgot,” I turned to Troy. “Thanks, Troy. I’ll go first, huh? Good luck with your class!” I said before turned away.
Goodness, if Troy hadn’t reminded me I might still be marked absent. OMG, Troy was a big help for today.
Hmm… aren’t we part of the director’s birthday? Are there only selected sections to go down to celebrate his birthday? I also want to see that band play! Gosh, so unfair. Shouldn’t we all just be involved? Psh.
When I got to the classroom I found my classmates hurrying to get their things ready. Okay? What’s going on? Are we also invited?
I stopped the guy from our class before he could even get out of the classroom, and asked him, “Uhm… What’s going on? Is there something wrong?”
“We don’t have classes for today because it’s Director’s birthday,” the guy answered. He shrugged, “That’s what I heard.”
“Oh, yeah? Thanks.” I smiled and let him go.
So, all the classes were suspended today because of the Director’s birthday. Awesome! Then, it means I can go down to watch the band that will play later, right? Yay!
I quickly walked towards my chair and put my bag there. After that, I left the room and went down to the covered court. I was disappointed when I saw that there were no space for me there. Gosh, too much crowd! Is there a famous band playing today so everyone looks excited? Gosh, what should I do now? Am I just going back to the classroom? But I want to see the band! Sigh…
My shoulder dropped. I pouted, “I really want to see it, though.” I muttered to myself.
“Should I carry you?”
I was surprised when suddenly someone spoke next to me so I immediately turned to him. E? It was Louis, his eyes were focused on stage. If Louis’ already here then his cousins might be here already as well.
“When did you get beside me?” I asked.
He turned to me and smiled, “Not too long ago. You might not have noticed me because you were busy examining the crowd.”
“Maybe,” I shrugged. “What band will play? Why do the students look so excited?”
“Mugen,” he answered.
“Mugen? Is that band famous? It’s like I just heard that,” I said.
He giggled, “Yeah, this is your first time hearing that band name because you were new here. That band is kinda popular here, you know.”
“Hmm… is that so?” I turned to the stage, “That made me feel excited to see and hear them play.”
He chuckled, “Really?”
I nodded without looking at him, “Yeah.”
“Then… see you later,” he messed up my hair so I turned to him.
“Hmm? Where are you going? Aren’t you going to watch the band?”
“Nope,” he shook his head, “I’m going somewhere.”
I nodded, “Alright, take care.”
He just said ‘thanks’ and turned away. Where will he go? I wonder, where? Hmp! I shook my head. Let’s just focus here. Where else can I squeeze myself to the crowd in the covered court? Hmm… or I can just stay where I am standing because I can see the stage from here. Yeah, I will just stay here no need to squeeze myself there.
A few moments later, the crowd suddenly became noisy. Gosh, I think the band will come out now or… not? Some men came out but they just arranged the equipment to be used for playing and left the stage immediately. But the noise coming from the students still does not subside. And then, we waited for another minutes for the band to show up. The curtain on the stage began to went up slowly, and I was stunned when I saw the five monkeys came out from there. As they stood there firmly as the crowd became noisier.
Don’t tell me, that the Mugen band that Louis told me and what the students are waiting for… are actually them?
