26 The Guilty Are Afraid Of The Law And The Innocent Fears The Fate (1/2)

Alyssa had completed her hacking and the scene of her entering the infirmary was playing. Both the principal and the attendant can see that she hadn't touched anything after entering the room.

Just then they heard a knock coming from the principal's office door. They saw a young freshly appointed doctor entering from it. The doctor scanned the scene. He saw Alyssa sitting in front of the principal's computer and he can see on the computer the CCTV footage of the infirmary. He looked to the principal's and the attendant's foul expressions. He felt confused. He was standing by the door not knowing what to do. Just then he heard the principal saying, ”Come In”. He entered the room and politely closed the door after him.

Mr. Linton said, ”Check this girl's would and tell me whether she had applied any medicine on it or not.”

The doctor was confused. He wanted to shout and say, 'Can't you see in the footage that she hadn't applied any medicine on her wounds'.

But later he thought that maybe it was a way of the principal for knowing his staff's character. He didn't want to disappoint him and wanted to leave a good impression on him. He thought this as a test to evaluate him. He went towards Alyssa and took her hands in his hand. He frowned genuinely looking at her blisters and wounds. He understood that these were the wounds caused by silver. He looked towards the principal and said, ”She hadn't applied any medicine on her wounds. But her wounds are serious and are caused by silver. Let me take her to the infirmary to bandage her wounds ”.

The doctor was newly appointed in the school. He had heard rumors about Alyssa but he has never met her or saw her. Additionally, he thought the principal was examining him so he spoke the truth.

Alyssa felt bad for him because from now he will receive the backlash of this incident. Maybe he will get fired too.

A simple misunderstanding made her work so easy. She felt lucky enough that the doctor that came was young and naive in the field of politics. She looked towards the principal for his opinion.

But a person cannot always win through sheer luck. He had to work hard to achieve his goals. Alyssa's strategy and the video footage created the misunderstanding. Who knew if the doctor had not seen the footage, he would have sided with the principal.

The principal's face fell. He could clearly see his thick pile of money flying away from him. He maliciously looked towards Alyssa. The attendant too had a bitter face made up. Alyssa smiled looking at them and got up from the chair. She smiled towards the doctor and said, ”Thank you, doctor. But there's no need for that. I am perfectly fine.” After saying that she went outside the principal's office without the principal's permission. She was not in the mood to deal with their rotten attitude anymore. Her hands were burning in pain and she wanted to at least first aid it before dealing with another baseless accusation against her.

'To be innocent is to be not guilty but to be virtuous is to overcome the evil inclinations.'

Alyssa was always bullied and gets wounded all the time. So she made a habit of keeping the first aid box with her all the time. She took a pair of rubber gloves from the washroom and used it as a cover to open her locker. Even with the rubber glove as a medium of isolation, Alyssa could still feel a stinging pain in her hands. She took out the first aid box and applied the medicine on the wounds.

It was lunchtime and Alyssa and her group were having lunch together. ”How did this happen to you,” Marcus asked. His eyes wide in question.

”Nothing. Just silly pranks” Alyssa replied coolly.

”Just tell us, girl. Violet is too much. Every time she steps up her game. Her cruelty is like the waves of an ocean, one more cruller than the other”. Marcus clutched his shirt near his heart in mock pain.

”Drama queen”. Alyssa shook her head and laughed.

Alyssa then recounted the whole event to them. The attendant's plot, the principal's scheme, and the beautiful misunderstanding of the doctor. Her friends were a good audience. They gasped and commented about the event in the right places.
