The main hall still buzzed with whispers and shocked glances when Jay slipped a small, silver USB drive from her bag. Michael raised an eyebrow.
"You really carry all your childhood secrets in a USB?" he teased.
Jay smirked faintly. "Some secrets deserve to be preserved."
She plugged it into the large screen at the front. The projector flickered, and a video began to play.
The footage was grainy, black-and-white — but the energy was unmistakable.
Jay, fourteen.
Jay leaned over, eyes narrowing. "You're kidding me."
The gang pressed play. Instantly, the room filled with the scratchy glow of grainy footage.
Younger Jay, fourteen, was scaling the boys' dormitory wall at night. Her whisper cut through the silence:"If they won't let me in, I'll make my own entrance."
The camera wobbled as Michael muttered, "She's actually doing it—"
Sam added, "—again."
Adam groaned. "We need therapy. All of us."
Inside the dorm, the four were sprawled across the floor, laughing, drinking cola mixed with something suspiciously stronger.
Sam smirked. "Okay, Jay, rate the other school leaders — who's your type?"
Younger Jay, sipping carefully, replied dryly: "My type? Alive."
Adam flipped through photos of rival school presidents — Taiko, Ryn, Kael… and finally, Keifer Watson.
Michael dramatically held up Keifer's picture. "This guy has potential . I'm not even joking." Adam snorted.
"Isn't he dating that school beauty?"Sam teased,
"Then maybe Jay should check out Keifer's best friend… what's his name? Yuri?"
Young Jay rolled her eyes, crossing her arms. "How about you go for Keifer or Yuri instead, Sam? Or better yet, why don't you marry them both? Solve your problem at once."
Sam blinked, choking on his drink. "I… what?"
Young Jay spun to Adam and Michael, wagging her finger. "And you two, stop drooling over the wrong girls — start thinking about real options! Maybe Princess Tina from Section B? Or Lila the choir queen? Or even sweet Mia from Section D?"
Adam nearly fell backward laughing. "She's naming all the girls we crushed on in middle school!"
Michael muttered, "I can't… I literally can't.
"Sam groaned, "This sloth is dangerous with words."
Adam pointed at another photo. "Wait… isn't Keifer from the same school as Aries ?"
Young Jay blinked, unimpressed. "My cousin's school? Small world. Or small enough for me to crash it whenever I want."
The video continued, showing Jay knocking over a chair, sipping her drink, and teasing Sam, Michael, and Adam mercilessly.
Michael leaned toward Sam in the footage, whispering, "Bro… you both broke up yesterday, and here you are, suggesting her potential boyfriends?"
Sam shrugged casually, eyes glued to Jay. "So what? This sloth has full right to date other men."
Young Jay spun around, wagging a finger. "Sloth? Really, Sam? Focus on your own face, not my love life."
Adam chuckled. "Her comebacks were lethal even back then ."Michael snorted. "We need hazard pay to watch this."
Everyone spits out their water.
Percy wheezes, "WAIT — you roasted your future boyfriend at 14 and didn't even know it?"
Keifer, grinning: "So I was already on your radar, huh?"
Jay facepalms, "You were on the wall, Watson. As decoration."
Michael adds, laughing, "And she rejected even your best friend, Yuri, before she met him."
Adam: "So technically she rejected all your possibilities, bro."
Keifer leans closer, low voice: "And still ended up with me. Destiny's efficient."
Jay blinks, blush creeping in. "You're impossible."
Percy whispers, "We call this: history foreshadowing romance."
mayo mutters, "At this point, the universe ships them more than we do."
Then the gang sees young Jay's grand finale move — climbing onto the desk, balancing on one foot, holding a cola in one hand, finger-pointing dramatically at Sam.
Adam whispers, "She's a danger to furniture."
Michael mutters, "And sanity."
Sam groans, "She's terrifying and magnificent."
Section E in the present-day room breaks down:
Felix: "I can't believe this… the legend… the chaos… it's real."
Cin: "I'm never letting her near my coffee table."
Percy: "I'm signing a waiver next time she smiles at me."
Drew: "Send me to witness protection… please."
Keifer leans in, whispers, "You always had this flair for drama."
Jay blushes, teasing: "You like it, huh?"
Keifer grins. "I thrive on your chaos."
The projector clicks off. Silence, then laughter, gasps, and occasional coughing from choking.
Adam mutters, "I can't. I can't. This little girl is the reason therapy exists."
Michael: "She's perfect."
Sam: "And still a menace."
Jay smirks at them all. "Some things never change."
Keifer pulls her close again. "Always my favorite chaos."
Jay rests her head on his shoulder, smiling softly. "And always yours… ok NOW EVERYONE STOP SEEING THIS WE NEED TO FIND EVIDENCE MOVE TO NEXT VIDEO"
