Mission Jessy

Victims of the Battle (2)

Jessy was already sitting on the sidelines seat, observing the friends who would be the targets of her retaliation. The list of missions will be longer because of this. But it's wrong they're looking for trouble with the wrong person.

"Hi, Mel! Your casts are removed? How's it feel?" greet Evan friendly.

"Better."

Because the atmosphere was suddenly silent for a while, Jessy looked at Mr. Evan and followed the direction of his gaze. "Huh?! You see what?"

Jessy covered the part of her chest that was stuck because it was wet and showed a slightly contrasting color of her bra.

"Thank God you were aware. I was thinking how to help you. I'm not carrying a suit or jacket that I can lend like in the movies. I also couldn't possibly take off my sports shirt to cover your chest."

Evan thinks again, then pulls Jessy's right hand. "Follow me!"

Jessy doesn't know what Evan's going to do. But he complies and follows Evan to the middle of the field.

"We're going to do some warm-ups so that your muscles don't stiffen." Evan stood next to Jessy and turned his back on the other students.

"Sir, what does this mean?"

"If it is too painful to move, there is no need to force yourself. The important thing is that you are exposed to the sun so that your clothes dry quickly."

"What?" Jessy who initially wanted to get angry, laughed instead. "So you tell me to sunbathe?"

"It's more precisely drying clothes that you can't possibly take off for now."

"Haha! Thanks, sir!" Although it does not look pleasant, Jessy begins to think that Mr. Evan might be one of the teachers who will side with him.

Suddenly, Jessy felt like she had made a new friend. For now, Evan is the only person who knows him and Melva. Nor do you think about avoiding Melva. And that day, though somewhat strange and embarrassing, he had helped Jessy overcome the small problems she faced.

And because of Jessy, the whole class that day was forced to work to clean up their class. Master had no more reason to just hand over all the blame to Melva because Jessy resolutely refused.

After what happened that day, as usual, Jessy will be sitting in the stands near the school pool. It was Jessy's favorite place and turned into an empty bench that her friends had feared since she died.

Jessy has avoided sitting there for weeks because she doesn't want to arouse suspicion. But that day, he desperately wanted to listen to his earphon there by himself.

Fania and the friends who saw her started shuddering in horror at Melva's behavior. "Is it possible that the child was possessed by Jessy's spirit? How dare he sit there."

"Since returning from death, the child became more courageous with me. Watch it! I'm not gonna let him get to Mr. Evan."

Fania, who was being ignited by a jealous fire, saw Evan accompany Melva warming up in the field, began to formulate a revenge plan. Jessy who daydreamed long enough did not realize that under her feet there had been a lot of oil spills.

As she stood up from her seat, Jessy slipped and immediately rolled into the pool. Jessy groans in pain. But once he realized that he had been in the pool, he began to be challenged to find his swimming ability again.

Instead of screaming for help, Jessy was trying to move her hands and feet to swim up. It feels amazingly sick. But Jessy didn't want to give up. He must know if he can return to being a great swimmer and clear his polluted good name.

Jessy kept trying, her breathing started to cramp. He didn't have much time so he tried his hardest to climb up. His head had successfully appeared on the surface.

"Please!!!"

Jessy tried to scream with all her strength. Then he couldn't take it anymore. As soon as his body was in excruciating pain, his breathing began to weaken and he floated following the direction the water was moving.

"Melva! You're sober, son?"

Jessy blinked her eyes again. "Where are we, Mom?"

"Hospital, son. You were drowning. But now everything's getting better."

The doctor came to check on Jessy.

"Is everything okay, Doc?" ask Ms. Rahma.

"Melva, didn't I tell you not to push yourself too much? Your bones and muscles aren't ready for too much weight."

"Sorry, Doc. I was forced because I fell into a pool and nobody was there."

"You should do more therapy and go back to taking anti-pain and inflammation drugs. And during this week, please do not do activities that are too heavy first. The consequences can be fatal, Mel."

"Good, Doc. Thank you." Thank you."

The doctor left and Melva immediately apologized to her mother. He knew very well that the woman must have been worried and scared to death to hear her daughter back on the verge of death. And suddenly he missed his father.
