915 Words
Savannah spend some time with Aiden and his mother and returned home after paying a quarter of medical fee of Hanna.
...........
Anna returned home. Like a deflated balloon she dragged herself to her room and fell down on the bed.
Her mind repeating a single thing again and again.
Thirty thousand dollars.
30,000 $
Thirty thousand dollars.
It has four zeroes.
FOUR
FOUR
FOUR
Her mind shouted at her. But she didn't let a single voice came out of her mouth.
After 3 there are four zeroes and it equals to thirty thousand dollars.
30 thousand dollars.
Until she couldn't handle anymore.
"Aaaaaaaggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh................................"
Her legs flailed irritated.
She was fine with what she did but at the same time she was not. She should help how much possible she can and she should do that but this thing, this loss which was not a loss at all but a was still a loss hurted her hurt and head and bank very much. Very much.
30,000 dollars.
"Agghhhh......." Anna flailed her left arm being thoughtful of her right arm. And scratched her head and hairs wildly.
Her face showing a pitiful expression. Her eyebrows furrowed.
That's a huge amount.
"I know."
It is three zero zero zero zero.
"hmm"
Equals thirty thousand.
"Will you shut up already?" Savannah shouted irritatedly at her own self.
"I know that it is a huge amount but it was not wasted. NOT WASTED. Even if the child's operation required more than a hundred thousand dollars I would have arranged the money. It was not for anyone but for me.
That's what humanity is. So you should stop dwelling on a mere few thousand dollars."
"I Savannah Hudson did a good deed. And I doesn't regret it." Anna declared and raised her fist as she nodded her head in affirmation.
.................
The next day which was Thursday. Savannah entered the school premises with a plastered hand, a bandage on her forehead and her face was painted with make up.
The ugly makeup. It wasn't much she just used two buds and covered them with her dark brown lipstick and just covered her cheeks with brown spots.
She took a deep breath and walked in.
Savannah put her right foot on the tiled floor to enter the school building when.
Splashhhh..................
She was covered with water. From head to toe.
The water trickled down her hairs and face. Her whole uniform even her socks were soaked in water.
Steven laughed from the second floor looking at her soaked form.
Anna gritted her teeth.
Aghhhhhh.......
She screamed internally.
This *****, ******, ***** will die by my hands.
A soaked Anna looked up at Steven where he stood smirking at her and a big bucket of water which was now empty was in his hand which he swung showing her. Provoking her.
Steven was has been waiting for her for a whole week. He thought the newcomer gave up earlier than expected. He wanted to enjoy his boring days a little more playing around.
When he saw her coming from the second floor he hurriedly send another boy to grab him a bucket full with water.
He should welcome the newcomer grandly. He smirked thinking how she would look fully drenched in water.
And the scene that he was presented with made his day.
All the students stood around her and looked at her drenched form hilariously. Snickering.
Anna glared deathly at the boy who made her want to pull all his hair out and make him bald.
Even thinking about Steven being bald sated her anger and even made her laugh loudly.
"Hahahahahahahaha.........." Anna laughed loudly.
She cleaned the small tears, from her wet face, that came in her eyes thinking about his bald look.
"Oh! That was hilarious. Hahaha..."
Steven looked dumbfounded at her reaction shouldn't she be crying and running away.
Even the students looked at her as an alien.
Who could smile...no laugh that to very hearty in such situation?
Anna looked up at him and nodded at him.
Acknowledging his effort.
Stevens's mood was ruined.
He was irritated.
Was she amused? Did all the effort I did was to make her laugh. Is she thanking me to make her laugh.
All the effort included throwing the water on her.
Anna cleaned her face with her left hand.
But when she saw the light brown colour on her hand her eyes widened.
My makeup.
Anna hurriedly went towards the restroom. She had to change her clothes and set her make up again.
Anna always kept a spare set of clothes in her locker. And it always came in handy specifically in situations like these.
Anna took out her favourite black hoodie and pants and put her bag in the locker. She hurriedly walked to the rest room that her stomach started paining.
Anna changed very difficultly and removed the soaked bandage from her forehead.
That.....didnt even think of my forehead.
The wound shouldn't touch water but now her bandage was completely soaked with water.
Moreover she could only use her left hand.
Thankfully there was no one in the washroom at the moment so Anna could put on her makeup.
But
She didn't bring it with her.
She didn't bring her small makeup kit with her
Agghh..
Anna pulled her hairs cursing herself.
The wound has affected my brain and it has stopped working.
You can bang you head with the wall. Maybe your lost brain cells could return.
