Amber's POV

"Ano ba! Bitawan nyo nga ako! Pucha!"

Nagpupumiglas ako sa dalawang lalaking nakahawak sa'kin sa magkabila kong braso. Tas ung dalawa naman ay nasa harapan ko at nakatitig saken. Wow ha! At their old age, as if ngayon lang sila nakakita ng babae noh?! Do they even have their own wives?! Oh, in their face, I think they'll never have someone anyway.

"Aba, naglalaban ka pa ha,"

And he shut my mouth with his thumb at my lips. Ewww! Ginalaw ko ang labi ko para maalis yong daliri.

"YUCK! P@#$%&*-+! You gross stupid old man!"

I cussed but they laughed. Mga gagong to, sinusubukan yata nila ako noh? Pucha.

"Ano ka ba naman miss, huwag ka nang pakipot. Magugustuhan mo rin naman eh."

O.O WTF?! What are they saying?! Kadiri!! Sila? Eww! Di ko maimagine!

"Sinusubukan nyo talaga 'ko ha."

Pagkapumiglas ko with my full force sa mga nakahawak sa'ken, I punch the two men at my front in their tummies which is the reason they fell at the ground. Weak pala mga 'to eh?!

I looked back to fight at the two men behind me.. I kick their stupid-gross-old faces, at kagad namang dumugo iyon. Tss.

I heard someone punching behind me so I looked at my back, and I saw a guy wearing black hood, punching the two men, pshhh! Kung kelan okay na, saka dadating?! And oh I forgot, I never need help from somebody anyway.

I just looked and did not react. I walked way. I'm 10 minutes late at the gang fight. Grr.

"Di ka man lang ba magpapasalamat?!"

I was about to run but someone talked to me so I looked back. It's the 'late savior' guy. Like he saved me even not. Lol.

"What?!"

Iniwan nya yung dalawang lalaking nakabulagta then faced me.

"I saved you."

I laughed.

"Saved me from what?"

"From-"

"From them?! Oh shut up. I save myself."

I said calmly, I left him there hanging. Bahala sya, ang assuming nyang lalaki. Eh totoo namang he didn't save me eh. I know how to defense myself. Help? Nevermind.

I run my way to EM. I assume the Era Krypton is asking for gods where on earth am I. Jeez, those for guys are such a mess.

When I finally arrived at EM, it's silent. A complete silence. What the?! I thought there's a fight between Ara and Era?! Why I'm not seeing anyone in here? Is it cancelled?! They didn't even informed me.

I took my phone from my pocket and dialed Brick's number, one of my gang mates.

[Hello, Amber?!]

"Where the hell are you?!"

[Us? Well. The gang fight's cancelled. Aren't you informed?! You! Where are you! Every leader of gang have a meeting right now, you should've be there. There's special announcement.]

"What?! Why don't they even informed me?! At isa ka pa!"

[Eh malay ko ba?! We thought you already knew it.]

"Aww, shut the fck up. Where's the meeting?!"

[Saan pa nga ba, edi sa MR!] MR = meeting room.

I didn't response and I hang up. I walk through the meeting room.

I walked in, not even saying sorry because I'm late. Like duh, they already new me. They already knew that I don't know how.

I sat at my seat without any word.

"Oh, so look who's late."

Nagulat ako dahil sa pagreact ng boss galing sa speaker. And yes, may pinaka-boss ang Eukrypton. Kumbaga sa office, sya yung manager. Ngunit kahit kailan, our bosses don't reveal themselves, even their voices. There's only one voice that come out at the speaker-which is where our boss is speaking. It looks like we changed our boss again, and I think he doesn't know the word "patience" because he's the only boss who scolded me at my moves. From our past bosses, pinagpapasensyahan nila ako tutal babae naman ako.

"Now what, you're not going to say sorry?!

I'm sorry I don't know how to say sorry lol.

"I'm not going to." I said, while smirking.

Long silence. No one speaks. I don't care. Pshh.

"As I was saying earlier, I'm your new boss. So I'm gonna change your scenario."

"WHAT?! No!"

I stood while reacting,

"And why, miss Amber?!"

"We'll not accept it, we'll still refer to the old ones, right guys?"

Ngayon lang kasi binago eh. Of all the years, minahal ko na 'to. I'm never going to agree with that freaking idea.

I'm expecting for my co-leaders to agree on my opinion. But..

"Look, Amber. I need it's time to change. Since it's been years.." Oliver said, leader of Ira Krypton.

"He's right,Amber." Carl agreed, leader of Ura Krypton..

I'm doomed with their disagreement on me. What the?!

"Yeah. I think the idea's good too." Max, leader of Ora Krypton.

Pota. Isa pa talaga, isa pa!

Sunod na tumingin ako kay Sky, the Ara Krypton's leader.

"OH ANO?! Kokontra ka din?!"

Mukhang natakot naman sya sa pagsigaw ko sa kanya..

"Uh.. I.. I agree with Amber."

Oh! May silbi rin pala tong weak na toh eh! Psh..

"Okay,majority wins."

Salita pa ng boss. Grr! I sat. Oh this stoopid new bosssss!! I'm sure hindi sya magtatagal.

Habang nasa gitna ng meeting, they're talking about the change. But I'm NOT listening! NEVER! Kahit mapunta pa'ko si araw! I'm super not interested to this change. I think it's not gonna help.

But what do I think instead?

The guy earlier who assumes that he saved me. Haha. He's funny. I think he can be my friend. I wish I could meet him again someday.
