Persuasion gone right

Standing in front of the big prestigious school, Akira read the name bodly engraved on the school building.

"Celebrity High School" she sighed and took a deep breath, nothing was going to prepare her well enough for this life.

"How in God's name did I end up here?" She said to herself and thought back to when she was at the hospital.

"But Miss, consider the benefits or is it the cost?" The doctor persuaded her again.

"Its not just that, I offered her a full fledged scholarship but she still refused".

"... " the doctor's mouth hung agape.

"I do not want to attend where those spoilt brats are attending".

"But Miss, perhaps you are not understanding. Going to this school opens a whole new world of possibilities for you. Do you just want to throw away this once in a life time golden opportunity? A lot of people would kill to have an opportunity like this. I'd literally do almost anything for my son to attend that school someday and here you are with this green card".

"He sure has sweet tongue, putting it like that, he makes it seem like I won a lottery" Akira thought to herself

"It's like you won a lottery girl" as soon as he said that, she mentally face palmed her head.

"And all you did was be brave and save a well known important figure from death. Parents are wishing for their kids to be in your shoes right now. You are popular already and then with this? Please do reconsider Miss Takahashi".

"Please think of this offer Miss Takahashi, think of your mum, you'd be able to help and assist her. You won't have to make her worry with your education" Mr Watanabe said to her with pleading eyes.

"We are doing fine sir".

"I could really use the help".

The mother and daughter duo spoke almost the same time and then turned to looks t each other.

Her once calm and babyish mother, turned to a serious woman. She gave her daughter the 'don't you dare look', while Akira gave her mother the 'ohh I would mother" look.

In a couple of seconds, it was a mind-staring war contest between the mother and daughter pair. After some minutes of some mind-staring talk between the two, Mrs Takahashi's once stern face turned to a solemn puppy face... Pouting with her teary round big eyes at her daughter. That seemed to have done it as it broke the carmel's bag, because the next thing they all heard was...

"Okay okay I'll go. Now stop with that face mother".

Akira quickly closes her ears as her mother squeals and rushes to hug her daughter.

"Mother, stop it already, you are not a child anymi"

"Thank you, thank you, thank you so much darling, no going back on your word dear".

"No mum".

After hugging and kissing her daughter all over her face, she turned to face the pleased Doctor and Mr Sato Watanabe with a beaming smile on her face. Before she gave them news, Okay.

"It's an official yes doctor, Mr Watanabe. That would take a few days to get her settled and ready to go".

"If she is fit enough by tomorrow, she would start".

"Sir her uniform would take a bot long".

"Not to worry, everything has been taking care of Mrs Takahashi".

"Really? That is great news sir. Thank yo so much for everything".

"No thank you".

"Now sir, please go back to your ward. She agreed as promised" the doctor said to Mr Watanabe, moving to his side to assist him.

She was brought back from her thought by a voice, it was the driver, he called out to her as he waited for her to leave the entrance of the vehicle so he could close it.

"Miss Takahashi" he said with a pause

She stops thinking, "oh sorry" she said setting forward so he could close the door.

"Thank you sir" she said to the driver as he went back into the car.

"You are welcome Miss Takahashi, enjoy your day" she smiles at him as she waved goodbye.

"Now I'm stuck here. Thank you mother" she said sarcastically as she sighed again.
