One Roof With Five Hot Jerks

Maxine’s Point of View

The next day, when I entered the school, everyone was looking at me. Well, it’s not new but there seems to be something in their minds about me now. I just bowed and ignored them. I just walked straight until I bumped into something.

“Tsk! Look where you’re going!” Said the curly woman I bumped into.

“I’m sorry,” I apologize. I’m not going to complain, It was really my fault because I was not looking at the road.

“Sorry, my ass.” She said before she walked pass on me.

I just sighed. I hate going to school! Or… not?

A smile flashed on my lips when I saw the familiar face of a man. I can’t be wrong, he is-

“Troy!” The man in the football uniform called him.

Troy turned to him, then glanced at his feet. He bent down to pick up the football and then threw it at the man who called him.

I just gasped. I wanted approach him but I was embarrassed. He was also talking to three men and I think they were his friends. Hmp. I just continued walking again and did not approach Troy but I was about to turn left when Troy suddenly called me, reason for me stop me walking.Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

“Max! Maxine Wards!”

I immediately turned to him. When I saw him wave I waved at him too and smiled. He turned to the three men for a moment before walking towards me.

“Hey,” I greeted him as he finally got closer.

“Hey, how are you?” He smiled.

“I’m fine, how about you?”

“I’m okay, too,” he looked around, “Where’s your classroom? I’ll bring you there.”

“Uhm… huh?” Damn. What did he asked? My brain couldn’t seem to process what he asked me. My gosh!

“Ouch,” Troy touched his head when a ball hit his head, “This is the second time that I was hit by the ball,” he complained as he nuzzled the part the ball hit.

“Ops! Sorry!”

It’s just a voice but I already know the owner very well. I looked where the voice came from and I wasn’t mistaken when I saw Sid in the distance. He is now walking towards us. As if he was really sorry, if I’m not mistaken he meant to hit the ball to Troy.

“Sorry, bro.” Sid apologized when he got closer before he picked up the ball.

“It’s okay,” Troy smiled. “Just be careful next time so you won’t hit other people.”

“Okay,” Sid replied but obviously he didn’t care what Troy said. He turned to me then smiled broadly. I was even surprised when he suddenly hugged me, “Missy, good morning!”

“Missy?” Troy asked while looking at the two of us, “Isn’t her name Maxine?” He asked Sid, “Do you know each other?”

“Of course! How can I not know her when we’re just in the same house?” Sid replied while the grin was still on his face.

My gosh! Troy might misunderstand what Sid said!

I was ready to speak but Troy immediately asked, “Are you siblings?” He innocently asked.

I nodded while Sid shook his head. My gosh! I’m not really obviously lying, promise.

“Nope,” Sid replied.

“Cousins?”

I nodded again while Sid shook his head again. Agh! This idiot!

“Nope,” he replied again.

“Then…”

“We are-”

Before Sid could continue what he was going to say, I immediately said, “I’m his maid, he-he…” then I scratched my head due to awkwardness.

Damn! I don’t have a choice but to lie. What if Troy thinks differently? He may think that I am a dirty woman living in the same house with a man who is not my blood relative. Gosh, I don’t want him to think that!

“W-What?” Sid turned to me and couldn’t seem to believe what I said.

“Oh,” Troy nodded. I don’t know if I really convinced him.

“Uh, so…” I removed Sid’s arm that was running over my shoulder, “We’ll go first, sir. See you at home.” I said and pulled Troy away.

My gosh! I’ll slaughter Sid later when he gets home!

“Are you okay?” Troy asked, “You seemed tense earlier while we were with your boss.”

We are now going up to the floor where my classroom is. Gosh, if I hadn’t gone back to trance, the reality that I pulled Troy might slipped from my mind. So embarrassing! I really had no intention of pulling him, I was just really carried away by the incident earlier.

I let go of his hand, “I’m new to them so I’m not very comfortable yet.” I’m lying. I just hope I don’t get caught up in my lying.

He nodded, “I see. I thought you liked him, that’s why you’re acting awkwardly.”

I was surprised by what he said. I turned to him and shook my head, “No! Never! I’m not going to like that man!” I defendedmyself.

My gosh, Sid? Psh. Never in my wildest dream.

He chuckled, “Okay. Okay.”

Damn, that sexy laughter, any woman would fall for him. Handsome, kind, know how to cook delicious foods, and has sexy laugh. But I don’t like him, okay? I’m just grateful to him because if it wasn’t for him maybe something would have happened to me yesterday. I can’t imagine if someone else collided with me yesterday. If it wasn’t for him, I might be dead by now so I’m really grateful because Troy is the man I bumped into.

And the world is really small. Do you imagine that? Here is also where Troy studies at Calteron Academy. Wait, if he’s studying here, he should have known me before I introduced myself to him yesterday, right? Because of the rumors made by Ferries, it is likely that they have reached him as well.

Just to think about it, he wouldn’t asked my name if I hadn’t asked his name. Could it be that he didn’t ask my name yesterday because he already knew me?

Until break time I still had it in my mind but it suddenly disappeared when a group of women stopped me. You’re not mistaken, the group of Ferries blocked my way.

“Slut,” Ferries called to me.

I frowned, “Please, Ferries. I didn’t do anything, can I eat before this?”

“I’m not asking for your permission. You didn’t do anything?” She smirked, “You’re the reason why Alyn doesn’t want to see me anymore!”

My forehead furrowed even more on what she said, “What have I got to do with that? Can you not include me in your affair? I’m not interested,” then I rolled my eyes.

Damn. So, boring. Doesn’t she get tired of doing this thing? She wouldn’t gain something when they ganged up on me.

“Enough with the chitchat,” she said then gestured the people around her to come to me.

The heck! I was about to run when someone pulled my hair. Damn, I don’t have somewhere else to go!

I don’t know how many minutes it took them to beat me, all I knew was that my body was so weak when they stopped. I could feel the swelling in my eye because the kick had hit it earlier. I just don’t know which of the women did that because there are so many of them and I can’t follow what they do.

Fuck it. It’s tedious, just over and over again. Why do I even need to be involved?

I raised my head to see if they were done beating me but I was surprised to see Alyn holding the collar of Ferries’ uniform while Ferries’ face was covered in fear. The women who were with her before also ran away, probably because of Alyn.

The vein in Alyn’s head was showing. His jaw was clenched as if it holds back an explosion of anger. His face turned red as if any time he could explode and emit smoke. This is the first time… I saw Alyn like that. However, I know it’s not because of me but because he doesn’t want to concern GH. He’s like a dragon that ready to release a fire.

“I told you not to fucking touch her!!” Alyn shouted. At the loud voice of Alyn, even I was scared.
