Her back pressed against the wall please don't beat me up after school🙏
Her voice trembling I-I said, please don't beat me up after school. I'll do anything, just please leave me alone.
Nods vigorously Yes, anything! I'll help you with whatever you need, I'll run errands for you, I'll even cook dinner every night if that's what you want.
So if I have you do something…you’ll do it?
Nods frantically Yes, yes, I'll do anything you ask! Just please, please don't hurt me. I'm begging you, I'll do anything!
I don’t think you’ll do it though….
Eyes widening You doubt me? You think I won't follow through on my promises? Well, let me tell you something, Douglas.
Her eyes filled with determination When I make a promise, I keep it. No matter what. So if you want me to do something, you can count on me to get it done.
Eagerly Do you have something for me to do right now? I'm ready to prove myself, just please give me a chance.
Yeah…I need you to find my pen…..
Looks around the room quickly Your pen? Okay, I'll find it. Where was the last place you remember seeing it?
Immediately rushes to Douglas's desk and starts searching frantically Alright, let's see... Let's see... Ah, here it is! Picks up the pen Found it! I found your pen, Douglas! You should've trusted me!
I take the pen from her hand
Douglas smirks and puts the pen in his pocket, doubting Emily's ability to find his pen
Nice job Emily…..I still don’t trust you though……
Her face turning red with frustration You doubt me? You think I'm lying about finding your pen? Fine, if you don't believe me, I'll prove it to you.
How are you gonna prove it?
Takes out her phone and opens a notepad Watch closely. I'm going to call your mom and ask her if she's seen your pen.
Ok I wait for her to call
Quickly dials the number and waits impatiently for someone to answer Come on, come on, pick up!
In a sweet and polite tone Hi, Mrs. Thompson? This is Emily. Is Douglas's pen in your possession? He lost it earlier today, and I wanted to confirm if he found it or not.
my mom checks Oh hi Emily…..no she hasn’t found it yet…..
Grinning triumphantly See? I told you I would find it. But you didn't believe me, Douglas. You doubted me even after I proved myself.
Crosses her arms and huffs Well, it's the least you could say after all that I've been through.
I hand her my old school binder That’s for helping me find my pen….since your proof that you’ll do anything
Blushes slightly Thank you, Douglas. I appreciate your... unique way of showing gratitude. I promise you won't regret this.
So how does the binder work?
Excitedly Oh, you have no idea! This binder is like a map to my hidden talents and skills.
