Pay a price

After two periods of studying, the gang went to the canteen to see if there is something that they like.

For a number of days the topic of discussion has been about drugs and drinks and some movies.

"Yeah...that movie indeed is great." The guys said.

The whole gang was not in the canteen really. Anna was not feeling like eating so she stayed in the class with her head down. As soon as Reina and Rachel saw Anna with her head down they came from back and scared her and because of this she ended up screaming "Don't! Don't!"

Seeing her screaming like this, both Reina & Rachel looked at each other in confusion and asked "Don't what? What happened Anna, are you ok?"

"Ah...yeah, I am. So... what did you guys have in canteen?" She asked to divert the topic.

At that time, Reina, Anna & Rachel were not the only ones in class. Stephen was also in class but minding his buisness, he just kept studying and didn't say anything on this.

The rest of the day went quite normal and you can say boring....because the games period was canceled due to some inspection.

"Why the hell do we need to sit inside...its games period.." One of the girls of class said.

************************

Anna's home, evening.

Anna was studying in her room peacefully that suddenly a thought came to her head "What if mom & dad find out some day..? What if it's found out by some teacher?? No, Anna...you got to quit this." Anna thought as she hit her fist on the table making a loud sound.

"Anna, something happened?" Her mom asked from kitchen as she heard the loud sound.

"Nothing mom!" She said.

Even if Anna had made her mind, the people that she was about to face were not easy to handle... the whole night went into seeing nightmares, she was tossing and turning onto her bed and was unable to sleep the whole night.

-----------------------------------------

The next day, school

First period of History was still going and Anna was feeling so sleepy that it was impossible for her to keep her eyes open and in no time she already had fallen asleep...but thanks to the rotation of seats everyday, today she had to sit at the back so luckily Mr. Anthony (Mike) didn't see her.

"I-I-I want to quit this drug and stuff so I won't be coming here." Anna said.

While saying this, though her face was showing confidence but her legs were shaking and she was terrified from inside.

"And why is that?" A man with deep and hoarse voice who was wearing a stunning black suit with long hair said.

"Be-because it isn't good for me so.." Anna said with her head down.

"Oh, so it isn't good for you..." The man said.

She nodded. There was silence in the room for a minute but then the man smiled and said

"You are free to leave but you gotta pay for the drugs we let you use for free until now which costs $100,000." The man said shrugging his shoulders.

"What?? How can I give that much? I'm a student!" Anna said.

"Isn't your father in a government job?" The man asked.

Anna was shocked to hear as she had not uttered a single information about her family or friends then how did they know about this? Anna was quite unaware of the fact that people like these can get information from wherever they want.

"I can't tell them! Please give some other option." Anna said in her pleading voice.

Hearing this the man got up from his seat and walked towards her. He looked at Anna up and down and said "Hmm... even your body is not satisfying to fulfill our needs.."

Anna almost broke in tears but before she could say something the man slowly moved his hands towards her face and lifted her head up and continued "....but hmm you are quite a nice girl...helped us a lot too...so we'll compromise"

Hearing this Anna shouted

"NO!!!"

The whole class suddenly went silent. After waking up from her dream Anna was quite relieved that whatever happened was just a dream but her reliefness soon turned into embarassement as she saw herself in history class shouting in front of the class.

"Anna, some problem?" Mr. Anthony asked.

"No sir..." She said

"Go wash your face." Mr. Anthony said as he noticed her sleepy face.

Hearing this, Anna ran to the washroom in embarassement.

"Hmm...shouting 'no' in middle of the class... hmm why are my senses saying something... leave it...I'll call her in staff room and talk about this." Mike thought to himself before he started teaching again.

After the period, Anna was called in the staff room by Mr. Anthony.

"So...are you not sleeping in nights?" Mr. Anthony asked with a calm expression.

"Sir...that..umm...I wasn't feeling good in night so I couldn't sleep...and then slept in your lecture...I am sorry." Anna said with her head down in embarassement.

"Oh...no need to say sorry for that! Ok, now go your next class must be starting soon." Mr. Anthony said.

Just when Anna came out from staff she saw Ken in the corridor as he was coming back from washroom. Ken also noticed her and walked towards her "Hey...so what did Anthony sir said?" He asked.

"Nothing much, he just asked if I hadn't slept in night and then told me to go as our next class must be starting soon." She said.

"Teacher is absent. Everyone is talking in the class that's why I came out." Ken said.

"Oh? Phew...I can complete my sleep!" Anna said as she stretched her arms.

"Oh yeah...by sleep I remember...do you mind telling me what dream you saw that it made you shout 'NO!!'?" Ken asked.

"Ahh...that...leave it, its a girly thing so you won't understand." Anna lied without batting an eye.

Though Ken definetely didn't believe her lie but he kept her expression calm and didn't really forced her to tell the truth.

"Where are you going?" Anna said as she saw Ken passing by the class but not entering in.

"Gavin, Adam are waiting in ground. I am going there." Ken said as he waved his hand at her while keep walking towards the ground.
