CHAPTER 7: SURPRISED

ATHENA JAZLYN LAUREL POV

That Kim is really annoying. I warned them but he just ignored it. "Urgh, he's really naughty," I said to myself and at once opened the door.

I became alert because the door was not locked. I am the only one living here. I don't even have any workers here so why is it open? I remember locking it earlier. I opened the door and I was just surprised at what I saw. I forgot what date today.

"Surprise! Baby Girl !," my brother Shin greeted me warmly and happily.

"Brother, welcome back," I smiled. He suddenly pouted. "I know I know. I'm sorry, I didn't pick you up. I forgot,"

"Tsk. Baby girl that's okay as long as I have another surprise for you," he said. He is really childish.

"What surprise ?"

"If I told you it will not be a surprise anymore. So, tomorrow you'll find out,"

"Brother, I wish no one knew we were siblings?"

"Why?"

"I don't want you to be in danger, brother,"

"I get it but just don't make things too hard for me, okay?"

"Okay,"

"Let's eat. I cooked while you were gone,"

"Really ?"

"Yeah, I cooked our favorite dish,"

"All right, you said it," We ate and slept.

I was walking into the room and I met two women. I thought they would just pass me but they stopped in front of me.

"Your Jazlyn, right," a woman asked. Her hair is long, reaching to her waist.

"Yeah, why ?" I said coldly. I don't want to talk to anyone.

"So cool! I'm Alliah Tolentino," said one happily. She has short hair and bangs. Her hair is very black. "She's Jaira Alexi Falo,"

"What do you want ?," I said.

"Whoa, you're a really cold person. Well, we only want to be your friends. I heard that you are cold to everyone. So we want to try to befriend you," Jaira said.

"So you heard about me. Why do you want to be friends with me ?," I asked seriously.

"Because .... you are not scared of anyone. You also dare to fight with the Shadows," Alliah said.

"And?," I said.

"We don't want to be bullied anymore. So we thought that if we befriended you they will never bully .....," she didn't continue what she said because she was hit by a woman and almost fell.

"Oops, I'm sorry. Don't block the way," said a woman and turned to me. "Jazlyn, if I were you, I wouldn't be friends with people like them. You might get infected with them, cowards,"

When she said that. I remember who I used to be. How I watched my parent die. "So who do you want me to emulate? A woman that only knows is to bully weak people and flirt with all men on campus. So tell me, you want me to be like you, not only you, but also your sl*tty friends ?," My sarcastic question. Even though I just transferred to this school I already notice what is going on here.

"You !," She tried to slap me but Alliah suddenly went between us and she was the one who got slapped.

"Oh my gosh, Alliah, are you okay ?," Jaira asked thoughtfully.

"I'm fine, don't worry," she said.

"You b*tch, what's your name ?," I asked angrily.

"I'm Alexandra Ferrer, the only heiress of the top three companies of the Ferrer group. Why ?" she said.

"Then, pray for the worst. Starting tomorrow, you will not be entering this school again and your company's estate will be bankrupt," I said and asked Alliah and Jaira to follow me.

I took them to the rooftop and talked. "Are you okay, Alliah ?," I asked.

"Hey, Jazlyn's heart is softening," Alliah teased.

"I think you look okay," I said.

"It's just a joke. Don't get angry right away," Alliah said.

"About your question earlier, it's a yes," I said.

"Really, but why did you suddenly agree ?," Jaira said.

"In this world, I don't care about people who have high self-esteem. But when it comes to weak people, I can't afford not to pay any attention," I said.

"Can you please be direct to what are you saying, Jazlyn?," Jaira said.

"I mean I make friends with the weak and teach them to be strong," I said.

"Be strong? I mean because we're your friends. You will be teaching us to be strong ?," Alliah said.

"Yeah, that's right. We'll start now. I'll teach you the basics first because we don't have time. We'll start talking. First, don't talk when you don't have to but you need to be serious when they're talking. Don't show any emotion. Second, you will speak when you are ready to hit them where it hurts. And most of all, you must always be ready for what may happen. It will be time for us to go back to the room," I said. They nodded and entered the room. As we entered, our classmates looked at us and begin whispering.

I went straight to my seat and sat down. " I don't think you threatened the heir of the third wealthy company," Allaine said.

"So what? She deserves it," I said sarcastically. "I could do everything I want if I wanted to,"

"That's not my point. You said you could bring down their company and kick her out of school tomorrow. Why did you say that? Wait, do you have the ability to kick her out of school and bring down their company ?" he said.

"Yeah," I sparingly answer.

"Wow, I just speak so long and then you can only answer me in one word," he said. "Wait don't say that ... that ....,"

He couldn't continue what he was going to say when I cut him off. "That I'm the owner of the school? Yeah, I'm the owner of this school. And for their company, I have many ways to bring them down," I said. "So, can you shut up ?"

****

It's break time now and I'm with Alliah and Jaira. "Guys, did you hear the news? The second heartthrob of our school is back ?," Alliah asked excitedly.

"Yeah, they're finally complete again," Jaira said.

"No, I don't have time for gossip," I said.

"We know, you just said earlier that you don't care about those around you," Jaira said.

"Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, they're here," Alliah said and looked at the canteen door so we looked there too. I was just shocked at who I saw. Why is he with them? He's part of them.
