2. The Rumoured Girlfriend
The lights from the post lights are flicking, I can even hear the crickets chirping due to how quiet the surrounding is. It's already 8:00 pm and I'm still walking on my way home, passing the noisy streets of this city and walking towards the most dangerous and quiet place of the area where I unfortunately live. My family is not that rich and I'm just renting a small apartment in this infamous place wherein everything is cheap but kinda far from the heart of the city, that's why I'm working hard in creating articles to gain some money at the same time doing what I love the most and that's being updated about Damon Lee.
I arrived home 9:02 pm feeling exhausted and hungry, I open the cabinet where I store the foods and grab an instant noodle, this will be my dinner for tonight. I went to the mini kitchen, grab the vacuum flask and pour hot water to the instant noodle. While waiting I grab my phone and check my social media account.
"Oh-- still number one trending huh?" I smirk "well deserve." I keep on scrolling down to see the top posts under "Who's that girl, Damon Lee?" and read some of the comments:
"I heard she's a stripper? Damn Damon Lee, why are you associating yourself with some low ass slut?"
"I've heard some news that the girl seduces a high ranking politician and when she got pregnant she aborted the child. Wow Damon Lee, Why are you meeting up with this kind of person? I bet he's not even aware what kind of a person she is!"
"She deserves all the hate! I hope she dies! She'll just going to ruin Damon's reputation!"
Reading the comments gives me satisfaction with my job and how people reacts. It's not gatekeeping okay? Damon Lee is only for his fans or maybe mine?
I giggled thinking about it "Damn, Wait. This are the comments I've been looking for! I need to take some screenshots and write an article about this!" I immediately took a screenshot and send it to the groupchat.
"Thanks for the comments guys! This will blow up even more. I'll make sure this girl is getting what she deserves. Wait till I post this article that I'm going to write, she might want to end her life instead!" I couldn't find the middle finger emoji so I just send it to the groupchat. It'll look funny if it has that emoji though. This is why you don't cross the line with us "Damies" that's the official fandom name of Damon Lee's fans.
While slurping noodles I open my laptop and starts writing. Should I add some spice? What if I wrote that she really got an abortion? That will make the article blow up right?
Nevertheless, within 2 hours I have finished writing the article that will probably be a huge controversial tomorrow!
"Here's some *facts* that you need to know about Damon Lee's rumoured girlfriend"
"She got pregnant at the age of 18 by a politician way back 2019. Apparently, she had the child aborted because the said politician won't pay for child support"
"She works as a stripper at Mondeu Nightclub since she was disowned by her own family"
"This said actor who can't be named used to date her after she aborted the child. The actor confirmed that they broke up due to her sleeping with another men"
I smirk as I click publish. When this girl wakes up in the morning I'm pretty sure she'll wish that she never woke up.
I wake up due to my phone keeps ringing and saw that a lot of people are trying to reach on me. "30 missed calls?" I rushed towards the bathroom and take a quick bath, I even almost slip.
Why did I sleep very late last night writing that article? Oh well, it was satisfying though. I hope she's gone by now. I was smiling the whole time while getting dressed for school and it was late that I realize that it's Saturday today...
I grab my phone and see the phone logs, it was my source groupchat that kept on contacting me. I read all the messages and it gives me satisfaction to the point I'm smiling like crazy. I laugh it all loud, the backlash the girl is getting is immaculate! It was fun! It was fun seeing her suffer!
"MWAHAHHA" she deserves it! She really do! The moment she met up with him, she knew this is coming! I've done it to a lot of girls that Damon Lee was linked to. Fat shame them, Make them lose their confidence, Make their life miserable! What else couldn't I do? His only for his fans. He's probably happy how I'm helping him dodge a bullet, isn't he?
I actually did changed my clothes since I'm off to the supermarket to buy some supplies for my little apartment. I checked my current balance and it gives a smile to my face. I'm getting relevant again! The money that I've gained right now is bigger than usual! What a lucky day it is, right?
A taxi stops in front of me and I ask the driver if he could drive me towards the public market in the town. As I went inside the market everyone's talking about the article that I've just made. Apparently, that's what happened when you date a famous actor you get viral positively or negatively and thankfully that girl is getting what she deserves-- the hate!
I can't control myself but to smile while pushing the pushcart. I should buy some delicious foods to treat myself for this victory. The girl has fallen and that's what she deserves!
While pushing my pushcart towards the aisle where the biscuits are the news on the hanging television of market shows a very familiar case.
"Damon Lee's rumoured girlfriend has been reported death this morning. The authorities are still investigating the cause of her death and as we all know the said person has faced a lot of accusations for a couple of days." While the news is still going on I'm already zooming out. I just drop the bottle of milk accidentally and you can see it through my face how shock I was. What I've heard is still processing through me, while trying to reach the bottle of milk I can't help it but to laugh.
"She's finally gone" I don't even know if I'm laughing or crying? Maybe, both at the same time? My rival-- she's gone, Damon Lee is finally mine!
