9 Assassins: When the Coldest Get Warm

Chapter 31: The News

Keen POV

Girl 1: Ang bitch niya talaga! Such a gold digger! Mukhang basura naman. Ewwness! Ewan ko ba kung anong nagustuhan ni Linch dyan. Arrrggghh!!!

Girl 2: I'm prettier than her, sexier than her and better than her. But why her?

Girl 3: Poor naman siya. And I heard na ulila na siya at nasa welfare scholar nung high school UNTIL NOW. Pero grabi ang guts ha para agawin si Linch.

Girl 4: Sabagay, social climber kasi kaya ganyan. At di nga niya kayang makipagsabayan sa hangouts natin eh. She's really poor.

Girl 5: A bitch is always a bitch and a slut is always a slut.

Girl 6: Kapit sa patalim. Past time lang siya ni Linch. Kung sa exam multiple choice.

Girl 7: Ang kapal kasi ng mukha. Sarap ingudngud. Ang harot. Such a poor girl. Siguro nanglilimus yan. Di natin siya kalevel. We're rich and she's poor. Magpapabili nga ako kay dad tomorrow ng new car.

Girl 8: Yeah! And I have a share na sa company namin. I'm earning but magpapabili na din ako kay dad ng new launch product ng Victoria's Secret.

Chismisan ng mga kababaihan sa likod ko. But I don't mind them. Bahala sila dyan. Hindi naman laway ko ang nauubos. Kundi sa kanila.

I got my phone on my pocket. I look at my wallpaper before I called Pej to accomplish my task. Hayyy when will it be? Hmm?

Mamaya na nga yan. I dialled Pej number.

Keen: Are all things ready?

Pej: Yes. So? Should I continue now?

Keen: Okay.

And I ended the call. Inabot ko ang pizza and fries na nasa harap ko at inumpisahang lantakan.

I look up sa t.v. na naka hang dito sa school canteen while eating.

Biglang may flash report na pinalabas.

Reporter:

Fresh report!
Stocks ng Gems Corporation nabili na ng pinakabatang investor sa buong Pilipinas na tatawagin nating sa pangalan na Keen Terro. Almost 60% ng shares ay binili niya and she is now the major stockholder of the corporation.

For the last weeks, she also bought 60% of Grimala's Estate, Import and Export, and Mining Corporation due to bankrupty. According to the news we gathered, siya daw ang dahilan kung bakit naging stable na ang kompanya ng mga Grimala ngayon. And what's most shocking is she's the rumored to be- the new CEO of Grimala's Empire that will later on be a Terro's Empire.

As of now, she's ranking second
sa survey na pinakamayan sa buong Pilipinas. We don't see her. Kasi never niyang pina-blic ang personality niya. But she's a hot topic sa world business. And that's all for today's business report.

Natahimik ang mga babaeng nagchi-chismisan kanina sa paligid ko. Ang iba ay ramdam kong nakatingin sakin. Wala akong paki. Patuloy lang ako sa pagkain.

Girl 1: (ibang grupo ng babae): Wow! She's amazing.

Girl 2: Kakainggit naman. Ang yaman na niya. 2nd pa sa pinakamayaman. Talo pa kami.

Girl 3: I heard that she's only 19 years old. Can you believe that?

Yumuko ako at patuloy lang sa pagkain ng pizza ko. Tumunog ulit ang phone ko. Tiningnan ko muna bago ko sinagot. And as soon as nakita kong si Pej yon ay sinagot ko.

Pej: Hey! Ayos ba?

Keen: Perfect.

Pej: Tapos na 'ko. So bye for now.

Keen: Ciao.

Napatingin ako sa mga babaeng nagchichismisan kanina ng may marinig akong nahulog na baso sa table nila. I smirked.

Girl1: Bitch!

Girl2: Arrrghhh!!!

Girl3: It can't be! Her? Fudge!

Ilan lang sa mga mahihina ngunit rinig kong usal ng mga babaeng nanglalait kanina sakin. I formed a smirked. Deadly smirked, that could anyone be tamed, before I face them.

Hindi nako nagulat ng makita ang reaction nila. Tulala, gulat at di makapaniwala. Pero mas galit sila sakin. Kinain nila lahat ng sinabi nila kanina. They don't know who really I am.

Ringgg~~
Ringgg~~~

Keen: Hello?

I answer in a boring tone. Gusto ko lang siyang asarin. Kahit minsan lang makabawi din. ^-^

Someone: What the hell was that!?

Nagkamot muna ako ng ulo na parang bored na bored talaga. Inabot ko pa ang soda ko at uminom. At nag-blurp. Kaya rinig na rinig ko ang pag "Tsk!" niya sa kabilang linya.

Keen: Ang alin ba?

Someone: Tsk! The report.

Keen: Ahhhhh yon ba? I'm making a way in defending myself, kuno.

Someone: You'll gain too much attention from that. And..you know what'll happen.

Keen: I know. Just this once. Coz I can't take what they're saying about-

Someone: Fix it.

Keen: No.

Someone: Then face it.

Keen: Sure.

Someone: Together with the consequences.

Keen: Tsk!

Someone: So you better fix it or I'll fix it?

Keen: Okay okay. Relax.

Tsk!

Narinig ko nalang ang end call tone. Binabaan niya na naman ako.

Hayyy why people can just thank me for what I did huh!? Tsk!

Biglang bumukas ang pinto ng canteen and everyone were looking at Linch walking hurriedly to come near me.

Linch: Who the fuck are you?

Pabulong ngunit madiin niyang sabi sakin together with his death glare. But who the fuck care!? Huh?

Keen: Your bodyguard. So let's go.

Walang gana kong sagot. Kasabay non ay tumayo nako at kinuha ang soda in can. Ininom ko yon while straightly walk outside. At ng makalabas ako sa canteen ay hinagis ko sa trash bin di kalayuan ang can ng soda and voila! Shoot! ^-^

In my peripheral view, I saw the girls looking at me angrily, others are shock, jealous but more on anger.

The hell I care about them!

Nilagay ko sa magkabilang bulsa ang kamay ko and walk patungong parking lot. I walk like a queen but act as if I'm totally bored when in fact I really am. Tsk! This environment make me sick. Tsk!

Nililibot ko ang paningin ko while I'm walking. And I saw some guys who's watching us. Tsk!

Malapit nako sa kotse ng may humila sa braso ko dahilan upang mapaharap ako bigla. Nadala ako ng mga iniisip ko at nakalimutan ko palang nakasunod sakin si Linch.

Linch: I said who the hell are you!? And w-what d-did I saw on t.v.? WHO.ARE.YOU.REALLY?

May diin niyang tanong but I just answered it-

Keen: I'm Keen Terro. YOUR BODYGUARD.
