The Brotherhood

Chapter 2

Erin

It's a Thursday morning. 2 days has passed after the race. In just 2 days, 20M views na yung pesteng 'race in the runway' vlog nila using their expensive cars. I admit, their vlogs are pretty silly and they are silly as well. But managing them has been my life for as long as I can remember. Even before they started vlogging, I was their 'life-manager'. Being the eldest girl in the world of 'The Ws', naging responsibilidad ko nang bantayan sila. The netizens call them, "The Ws" kasi pare parehong nagsisimula sa W ang surnames nila, namin. What's weirder is our parents are also good friends and business partners. Di ko alam kung saan, kelan at paano nagsimula ang brotherhood ng ng Ws: West, Wyatt, Wright, Walker, at Wallford. Basta ang lolo ko at lolo din nila, magkakakilala din. I don't know what generation they're in basta ang alam ko, business partners na noon pa ang mga ninuno namin and forming this brotherhood is already a tradition sa Ws. Maybe it's another way to keep each family's wealth by keeping their partners closer. The Ws has a private island kung saan kami nagtitipon tipon annually kapag anniversary ng brotherhood. 19 years ago, was my first time going to the island. Dun kami nagkakilala nung apat. What's amazing is that the five boys weren't forced to make friends with each other but somehow, they became closer and closer na parang magkakapatid na sila. At masaya ako dahil parte ako ng brotherhood nila, even as a manager.

Actually, wala naman talagang manager ang mga naunang brotherhood ng Ws. First time 'to sa history ng Ws na pumasok sa show business ang brotherhood. First time 'din na ganto sila magwaldas ng pera, somehow nababawi naman nila sa views sa channel nila, guestings on TV, TV commercials, modelling and even cameos. Aside from being public figures, lahat sila may natapos na 'ring degree sa kolehiyo.

Raven West. He's the leader of the brotherhood. He fits the role perfectly because he always speaks with authority. He may or may not enter law school, sabi niya. Pero ang alam naming lahat, yun ang gusto ng daddy niya para sa kanya. His father, Richard West resides in the US for he owns an aviation company and a shipping company there. He is also a famous lawyer. He's a multi-tasker, just like Raven. Raven, on the other hand is a registered nurse. Why a nurse when he can be anyone? No idea. He doesn't work, though. Private nurse na lang siya ng Ws.

Ethan Wright. He's a playboy. Kating kati siya 'pag nakakakita ng babae. Though, dating is really risky for the boys, nagawan ng paraan yun ni Ethan. He has multiple girlfriends. So, the media won't know kung sino talagang dinedate niya. Para di guluhin ng fans ng brotherhood ang mga girlfriends niya. Pero kahit ganoon si Ethan, he's the ultimate genius in the brotherhood. Konti lang ang nakakaalam na si Ethan ay Ethan Wright, R.Ch. He is a licensed chemist. And a really good one at that. Sometimes, he works in their family's pharmaceutical company, sometimes he doesn't. Anong ambag niya sa brotherhood? Well, he makes bombs.

Yago Wallford. Yago is the most sporty one in the brotherhood. A professional one at that. Way back in college, varsity player siya. Sikat at magaling na varsity. BA Communications ang tinapos niya. Kaya usually, siya nag vovoice-over sa vlogs kung wala ako or paos ako. Siya rin ang spokesperson ng BH. Siya ang nagpapa press-con. Well, his family owns the largest media and entertainment organization in the country after all. Wala siyang girlfriend. He doesn't date. Tagal kasi umusad ng more than friends status nila ni Yuri Carlisle. The Carlisles' co-own the Wyatt Academy, and Yuri teaches there.

Zeyn, oh, Zeyn. Zeyn Walker. Nakakatamad mag-explain, nabubwisit ako. But whatever, Zeyn is a BS Electronics and Communications Engineering graduate. A licensed one. Pero di naman niya ginagamit 'yang degree niya. I don't know if online gaming counts, but, still, sayang. His family owns the largest Telecom company in the country and just last year, nagsimula na sila mag branch-out worldwide. Anong ambag niya sa BH? I don't know. I'm not sure. Supplier siya ng porn sa BH, I guess. Pero NGSB siya. Weird, right?
