A Naive Encounter
Misunderstandings
Emma hurriedly boarded the bus, clutching her bag tightly.
Emma
*Phew* Finally got the bus, I had almost missed it.
As she settled into a seat, exhaustion washed over her, and her eyelids grew heavy.
Meantime, a guy casually sat beside her.
Emma
*glances at the guy and speaks to herself* Ah, I am going to fall asleep, I should take a small nap
Emma
*asleep* Zzz..zzzzz...ZZ..ZZ.
When Emma woke up, her eyes widened with horror as she realized her hard-earned money was missing.
Emma
*Startled* Where's the money... all my savings for the semester has been stolen... what do I do now. *sigh*
Emma suspects that the thief might be the guy who was sitting beside her.
Emma
*at police station* Excuse me, I would like to register a theft complaint. My purse is stolen which had 1000 dollars cash.
With teary eyes, Emma stands still wondering how'd she pay the college fees as she had no money left with her.
Keturah
Hey Emma what happened to you? Why are you crying?
Emma
m…my money got stolen.… *sobs*
Keturah
Don't worry I got your back, we will catch the culprit. I will lend you the money, you can return me later.
Emma
Thank you Ket.. I need it to pay my semester fees, I promise I will work hard and pay it back to you.
Keturah
Oh girl, please stop! What are friends for.. Okay see you in the college, bye.
Emma is walking to the college, when she suddenly notices a group of thugs is hitting a guy.
To her surprise, she figures out it's the same guy who stole her money.
*Emma runs towards the group of thugs*
Emma
Hey what are you all doing? Why are you hitting him?
Thug 1
Girl, stay out of it. It's none of your business.
Thug 1
what the.. This girl needs to be taught a good lesson
Daniel
You stay out of this.. This is not something you should meddle in
Daniel
I am handling this on my own
Daniel
aah.. Stop.. Listen to me.. I will return all of your money, just give me some more time
Thug 1

Thug 1
Hey.. You.. Bring a rod, I will kill these two today
Thug 1
*takes a metal rod to hit both of them*
Suddenly cops arrives at the spot
Daniel
Girl.. Who the hell are you? Why did you jump in her?
Daniel
Did you want to show how great you are? We would have died because of your silliness
Emma
You should be thankful I did not hand you over to cops after stealing my hard-earned money.
Emma
You stole my money, I came to help you, and you are still being ungrateful, huh? I should have let you get hit by those thugs
Daniel
So why did you come and help me? Did I ask you for it? If you want to hand me over to the cops, do it I don't care.
Emma
*tears start rolling down her face*
Emma
Do you even know how important that money was for me?
Emma
It was my semester fees.. *sobs*
Ben
Hello… I am sorry for barging in between
Ben
I am Ben, I was just passing by and saw you two in trouble.
Ben
So I called the cops, I hope everything is fine now
Emma
Thank you, Ben, you saved us today.
With tears in her eyes, Emma walks away from them
