HELPING

Violet POV

"Hey, i just got a text from my mom saying that the bus will arrive soon, I'm so worried about the interview, what if something goes wrong" Caleb said and started panicking

I chuckled, holding his hand in my palms "just take deep breaths, everything is going to be fine, remember you worked hard for this and you will definitely get admitted to the institute"

He calmed down immediately "thanks Violet, i really needed that"

"of course what are friends for" I smiled before hearing him gasp, his eyes widening

"what is it" i asked confused

His grey eyes turned soft " Wow, you have the loveliest dimples I have ever seen, pretty girl.

I frowned and took my hands away from his, i have heard so many compliments about my dimples and I couldn't care less about that but I didn't and have never liked to be called a pretty girl, before i could give him a piece of my mind the bus arrived earning shouts of excitement from all the interviewees.

The driver got down and he started checking our files and entry number before letting us go in the bus, the institute did this for security reasons

Suddenly, from the corner of my eyes, i sighted an old lady on a wheelchair being dragged by some dangerous looking guys into a dark alley and one of them used a cloth to cover her mouth to prevent her from screaming

I was alarmed, how could they do that to her, i needed to help her at all costs, as i was leaving, Caleb stopped me holding my hand

"where are you going the driver will soon call us in"

I knew that I'm risking my interview for this old lady that I've never seen before but like my karate sensei says "Try to do good everyday especially to strangers because in the middle of generosity lies opportunities"

I looked at Caleb "he is still in number 12 and my entry number is 89, i will be back before then and If not, could you please stall the bus till I'm back"

he looked confused for a while but hesitantly agreed

"of course, be back soon though" I nodded and dashed to the dark alley

On getting there I crept to a corner and watched them discreetly, there were four guys who looked around my age and I saw one using a gun to threaten the old lady, they took away her expensive jewellery and electric wheelchair pushing her to sit on the floor.

I gasped in horror after one of the guys who looked stupid rather than scary in all his piercings and tattoos pointed a gun to her head, ready to kill her after taking all her things

The old lady realized this and begged "please don't kill me I've given you all your want"

the guy just kicked her legs and hit her face with a gun making her bleed "shut up old hag" he said spitting on her face.

I widened my eyes in anger, that did it, they just crossed the line, I rushed to the guy and gave him a punch so hard I'm sure i knocked a tooth, he dropped the gun and fell to the floor wincing in pain, i took the gun pointing it to the other three, who looked shocked but non-threatened

I glared at them "we can do this the easy way or the hard way, just give this woman all her things and leave quietly or else"

They first looked confused, then amused before laughing like idiots, one of them said mid laugh "Is this a joke, who is this girl and how can she confidently threaten us"

Oh, so they doubt me because I'm a girl, Hah! jokes on them, they really don't know who they are messing with

The second guy who looked like their leader licked his lips looking at me "she is so pretty she could be my girlfriend"

The old lady just looked at me sadly "oh dear, you don't need to defend me, you are still young and I don't want these guys to harm you, so leave now while you still can"

Still pointing the gun at them, I wiped the blood off her forehead with my hand "don't worry mam, I'll protect you"

That statement only seemed to amuse the guys who laughed harder

The one who I punched got up from the floor rubbing his cheek "I think she should be part of our gang, she is fierce and she throws good punches"

The youngest guy whose outfit looked so horrible I'm sure he dressed himself blindfolded sneered at me "babe, do you even know how to use that" he said pointing at the gun

These guys were seriously testing my patience, i gave a wicked smirk to the badly dressed guy "never call me your babe and yes i do know how to use this, infact let me show you"

I aimed for his thigh and shot it, he shouted and fell to the ground, the other guys looked alarmed and from the look on their faces they instantly knew that i was not one to be messed with.

The guy who I punched, rushed towards me trying to grab the gun from my hands but i skillfully swerved, aimed for his arm and shot it "Ahhhh, how dare you bitch" he cried in pain falling to the ground, i tried to shoot the other two guys but the bullet finished, Ugh I guess we are doing this the old-fashioned way then

I've been waiting for a moment like this to beat up guys and be a heroine, when I received my brown belt in karate, six months ago needless to say Karate is my favourite hobby, while jewels is my passion, I've been learning karate for the past eight years and i can confidently say that it is the best decision I've ever made, though I learnt It discreetly, cause if my parents ever found out, they will go all ballistic on me, telling me all sort of nonsense like how females shouldn't do anything but look pretty, Tsk, what rubbish.

Anyways, back to the present, the remaining two guys looked happy, now that the bullets has finished they thought that they can easily take me down now, but little did they know how dangerous my hands and legs could be after eight years of training in karate

I glanced at the old woman to see how she was doing, but she just looked at me in awe and disbelief, knowing that she was okay I looked back at the guys ready to fight them

Violet is such a badass though, i mean, from disliking being called pretty to punching the gut out of those guy, she is a true role model
