Becky, the only girl from a poor background in a class of 30, she endured so much from the spoilt brat she calls classmates. Just when she had given up on education, she finally got a chance to go to school when she gets a scholarship. Despite her humble background, she is the top student in her class, she get high scores in all subjects.
She had put in for almost all discouragement one could ever think of. They have taken her for granted many times. Being the top student, her classmates offers her money to work on their assignment on their behalf. She needs money more than everyone of them, she has been sponsoring herself since she got admitted, her sick mother has nothing to offer her while her father left home when she was 10 years. She is forced to do some jobs her classmates offers her because she needed money, she endured everything well.
Sometimes, if she witnesses any type of bullying within the school, she keeps quiet out of fear, if she looses this chance, she might not get another one. Rich people have their own way of working things out with money, she just have to pretend nothing happens. Susan, a classmate of hers is a child of a lawyer, her mum owns one of the biggest hotel in the city. Susan has her own way of working her grades, everyone thinks she is brilliant but those closed to her knows she bribes most of her teachers in to giving her high marks.
Susan uses becky as a powerful tool, she would pay her for any projects or assignment, Becky dare not refuse her offer, she got a beating of her life the day she told her to work on her assignment herself. Susan knew what Becky needs at that moment, money, and even if she refuses, she most time threatens her. It's very simple for her to get her out of the school, Becky therefore summit to her offer not for anything but for peace to reign.
Towards the end of the session, everyone is preparing for the final exams for the session, Becky is the only person blocking Susan from being the top student this year. Her dad promised her a new car if she comes first in all her papers. No amount of bribes can make her come first if she write the exam with Becky and everyone in class. Susan calls Becky out of class during their lunch time, she offers Becky $200 if she allows her to come first in all the subjects, she just have to miss some answers intentionally.
Becky is thrown between the devil and the deep blue sea, Susan has nothing to lose even if she fails to come first, but what will happen to her if she refuses to accept her demand. Will Susan let it go? Becky needs time to think about this but she agreed to her offer immediately, if she gets this money, she finally got a chance to save her sick mother, she held in her self respect and summoned courage. She has nothing to lose if she did not come first this time. She will make it up to herself the next year.
After the end of the exams, result came out, Becky checked her result, she knew she was in trouble, after all the questions she had missed intentionally, she got the highest mark. The furious Susan made her way to her presence. She angrily pushed her against the wall, Becky remained calm as always. She had collected half of the payment in which they agreed to pay the remaining after the result. Susan keeps hitting her that got everyone's attention, this time Becky is already bleeding on her lips, with every strength in her, she pushed her so much that she fell on the floor. Becky gave her few punches in the mouth that the security had to separate them from each other. She is done pretending to be dump, she is done enduring hardship and bullying. No more silence, she will speak up admist any 'gang up' against her.
Thank you for reading ♥️♥️♥️
People from quite a poor background do much better academically. I have always asked myself is this really because they are poor or just a matter of one putting their all seriousness to it.
