Jayjay POV
I was halfway through sweeping when I heard the slow click of Keifer's shoes against the floor.
He leaned against the lockers, dark jacket pulled low, eyes fixed on me.
"You're making a mess," he said casually.
I raised an eyebrow, broom in hand. "I'm cleaning. Which part of 'sweep' looks like a mess to you?"
His lips twitched. "You're too loud."
I smirked. "And you're too boring. That's why everyone stares at you like a statue."
His gaze sharpened. "You have a lot of nerve, new girl."
"And you have a lot of attitude, Mr. President," I shot back, voice low. "Too bad your face doesn't match your brain."
The corner of his mouth lifted slightly. "Oh, I think it does."
"Really?" I said, stepping closer, broom pointed like a wand. "Because all I see is someone who thinks a lollipops gives him authority. News flash: it doesn't."
He laughed quietly—dangerously. "You're fearless."
"I'm alive. That's all that matters," I replied.
We stopped mid-step, just staring at each other. Eyes locked. Tension thick enough to cut through the air.
And then… a voice from outside shattered it.
"Ohhh! You two look like husband and wife"
I turned sharply to see Felix leaning through the window, grinning wildly.
Keifer's eyes narrowed. "Shut up."
I couldn't help laughing. The tension broke just enough for me to shake my head. "This is Section E?" I muttered. "I thought it was just one tyrant."
Felix waved enthusiastically. "You're both adorable! Like real-life married couple vibes!"
Keifer shot me a glare that could freeze water. I smirked back, enjoying it.
"Seriously," I said, turning back to him. "If you want to challenge me, at least don't have your friend broadcast it to the entire school."
His jaw tightened. "This isn't over."
I shrugged. "Good. I like unfinished business."
Felix leaned back out of the window, still grinning. "I'll be watching, you two lovebirds!"
And just like that, I realized one thing:
Section E was going to be more entertaining than I ever imagined.
