Nakarinig ako ng sunod-sunod na katok galing sa labas ng kwarto ko kaya agad kong inayos ang uniporme kong suot at tumingin muna sa salamin bago binuksan iyon.
At tama ang hinala ko, it's Saint. I looked at him with my bored eyes.
"Listen Klea, you won't use your name the whole school year if you still want to be alive. Don't call me Saint, Angelous or even my surname in public. Do you understand?" He said with authority. I am really afraid of him. Kahit noong bata pa kami ay kahit kailan ay hindi siya naging mabait saakin.
Alam kong sagabal lang ako sa pamumuhay niya pero wala siya magagawa dahil binilin ako ng Daddy niya sakanya.
"This will be you new name. New identity to be exact." He said again at binigay saakin ang isang ID. Tinaggap ko naman yon.
Danica Sy? That's a nice name. "Don't you ever talk to anyone about our relationship, just say we are childhood friends. Got that?"
I nodded. "Don't make friends. Sabihin mo sakin kung sino ang nagpapakilala sayo. I am not being hilarious to you or what I am just protecting you got that?"
Wala na akong masabi sakanya kaya tumango nalang ako. "Use a mask when you go outside."
Iyon ang huling paalala niya bago siya umalis sa harapan ko. Today is my first day in school. All my life I've been homeschooled for safety purposes.
Many people hunt me down dahil sa ginawa kong pagpatay sa sarili kong ama, i just killed the most high person in the underworld organization and they are hunting me to shut me down. And to make me the heiress of that organization.
But Grandpa Santino won't agree to that, Saint's father. Grandpa Santi is my Dad's friend. At binilin ni Dad kay Grandpa Santi na huwag na huwag niya akong isusuko sa mga mafia bosses. At pumayag siya kahit kabilang siya sakanila.
Granpa Santi guaranteed everything's going to be alright. That I'll have a normal life just what my Daddy wanted.
"Klea! We're getting late. Bilisan mo!"
I grabbed my things at agad sumunod kay Saint na naghihintay sakin at nakasandal sa sasakyan niya.
He's not going to use his Porsche? And he's going to settle at a low quality car? An Chevrolet.
"Just to keep you safe we need to lay down at school. We can't be a show off to everybody. Everyone will suspect." I nodded and entered the shotgun seat.
He started the engine and maneuvered to the school.
