One Roof With Five Hot Jerks

Maxine’s Point Of View

I once more took a deep breath, and I felt like I’m already calm. I lay down on the bed and opened my phone. I would have called Angela to ask about how I was feeling before but it stopped when I remembered something. Who was the girl with Alyn earlier? Is she his girlfriend? Then, who was the girl in the frame back then? That girl earlier and the girl from the picture frame were definitely not the same. How did I say that? Well, the girl from the picture frame was simpler than the girl before. Hmm… She’s full of makeup and she looks ugly. Tch, I look better than her!

“Argh!” I pulled my hair when I realised that I was giving them a lot of thought.Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

Gosh, who they think they are to mess with my mind? I don’t care whoever he dates, whoever he brings here and whoever the woman is there in the picture frame. Gosh, don’t ever wanna think about those ugly people again they only annoyed me. Tch. I’m too gorgeous to think about them.

I woke up when I heard a knock on my door. Yawn~ I did not realise that I already slept a little while ago. Maybe I was just tired? I don’t know. But taking a nap really feels good.

“Who’s that?” I asked whoever the person knocked.

“It’s me. I’m carrying your food.” said the man behind the door.

I yawn before I get up. I still rubbed my eyes as I walked closer to the door. my eyes were still sleepy when I opened the door and my eyes immediately widened when Louis placed himself at the front of the door. I quickly shut the door and ran to the bathroom. I washed my face and combed my hair. When I felt like I’m ready to face him, I opened the door with a smile.

Gosh, why didn’t I recognize his voice earlier? You are stupid, Maxine.

“I thought you had no plans to open the door for me.” he chuckled.

Hearing his chuckles makes my heart skip a beat. My God!

“Thank you for bringing my food.” I said, “I didn’t realise that I had fallen asleep, sorry.”

He smiled, “You don’t need to be sorry, I brought it here because I want to.”

Gosh! What is he saying?! It gives me the wrong idea!

“W-Why do you want to b-bring my food here?” gosh, why do I have to stutter? Am I that nervous?

He shrugged. “Don’t know.”

My heart tightened like it was being squeezed. Tch, of course it is just out of his pity and to his own advantage. I heard that when I get sick again they will be kicked out of this house. What am I expecting from him? Sigh.

I give him a pale smile and grab the tray from him. “Thanks, you may go now.” I said before I closed the door.

I walked toward the side table and put down the tray there. I sat on my bed and started to eat the food served in the tray. Gosh. Why am I feeling sad and disappointed about what Louis answered earlier? I pouted of the thought and grabbed a bite to the apple then I stopped chewing when I thought of something…

Do I have a crush on him?

Wait, what? That’s impossible! But… argh! Then why am I being like this if that was not the case? Gosh! I don’t know myself anymore!

I shook my head and just continued eating. I don’t want to think of something anymore!

After I ate, I went down to the kitchen to put the dish there. And I was on my way to get back to my room when I collided with the woman Alyn was with. Oh, why Alyn is not with her?

She looked at me from head to toe and raised her brows. So, what does that mean?

“You are Maxine from the Engineering department, right?” the girl asked. Does she know me? How?

“Yeah?” I responded.

She giggled but she looked annoyed. Okay, what does she really feel? Why act cool with me if she really does not? Gosh, she’s irritating me.

“I’m Ferries from the Art department.” She laid out her palm in front of me as if she wanted to shake hands. I reached for it and shook hands with her.

“How did you know me?” I asked out of my curiosity.

“You are quite the trend now on our campus, you know.” She answered with her irritating smile.

My brows furrowed, “Ha? How come?”

“After the incident at the front of the cafeteria I guess?” she replied.

While I was trying to think about the incident, she was talking. Gosh, what incident? And in front of the cafeteria? Oh…

Flashback…

As I approached the group I could already hear the squeals of a few students. I was even more curious than I was earlier, so I quickly walked closer and when I got closer I immediately looked for a hole to intrude on the crowd to see what they were up to.

My jaw dropped as I knew the reason why there was a group of students. Why is it crowded here? And why the students were thrilled.

“You gotta be kidding me,” I said to myself while shaking my head. My eyes widened when Sid’s eyes darted on me.

He let out a big smile and waved his hand. “Missy!”

And now I got the people’s attention. I looked around and saw that they were glaring at me. Argh! Is this Sid’s way to get back at me? I closed my eyes. I will count 1 to 3 then I will run away. I nodded to myself and took a deep breath before opening my eyes. My eyes widened and my heart jumped as I opened my eyes. The five of them were already in front of me. How could I run away now?!

I once again looked at the crowd, they were all glaring at me! Ghad, this is not good.

…End of the flashback.

Arg! That was definitely it! Gosh, I really hate them! They really want me to suffer!

Ferries tinted her head still wearing her fake smile, “Remember now?” she crossed her arms over her chest and her fake smile faded away. “As you may know, Alyn is mine now. So, you can’t flirt with him and you should not, got it?”

What? As if I’m going to throw myself for that man! Never in my wildest dream. And what does she really want for me? She looked like she wanted to start a fight with me. Haa, my gosh.

I give her a fake smile, “I will never do that. Never in my wildest dream.”

She smirked, “Oh, really? Well, then that’s good.” she sighs, “I still could not believe that someone like you was living with the five kings. Are you really their nanny?”

My brows furrowed, “W-What? Nanny?” I held my waist with my hands, “For your information, I’m living here as a resident. So, if I want to kick you out from here, I will kick you out. You get what am I saying? If you do, then you will excuse me.” I rolled my eyes and was about to walk away when she suddenly grabbed my hair.

“Say what?” her eyes distended while glaring at me. “Are you threatening me, huh?!”

“Let go of my hair, now.” I commanded with authority but she did not listen and was still holding my hair. Gosh, it hurts for fuck’s sake! “I said let go!” I shouted and when she did not let go, I also grabbed her hair.

“Ack!! Let go of me! It hurts!!” she screamed.

“Haa, do you think I will let go? You started it!” I replied and pulled her hair more.
