DISAPPOINTMENT

Violet POV

Both guys ran towards me to attack but i knew how to handle them, I turned to one and gave a kick so powerful he flew backwards crashing into a pile of trash cans

I turned to the other and gave him a side kick but he dodged, he then tried to hit me and I blocked it before giving him a straight punch, he fell to the ground immediately.

The guy who i kicked stood up from the pile of trash cans groaning in pain as he walked towards me limping "sweetie, we can end this right now, in fact you can be my girlfriend and I'll treat you like a queen, please let's just stop fighting"

I laughed scornfully "really?, no need to act so pitiful, you know that you are no match for me and you are trying to escape this fight, sorry but i don't take pity on losers like you"

I took a glass bottle from beside me and smashed it on his head, shattering glass everywhere, the guy blacked out instantly

"Phew" i exhaled loudly, that fight had been easy, i turned to the old lady "are you okay mam" i asked politely, but she just looked at me like I was a goddess

I rolled my eyes, there is nothing surprising about a girl beating up guys, right?

I gently hauled the woman to her feet and placed her on her electric wheelchair, "here you go" i said giving her all her jewellery

"Thank you so much child, what you did today means so much to me, i should have never doubted you, i don't even know how to repay you for your kindness" she hugged me affectionately and I hugged her back, happy I was able to help

"No problem mam, you don't need to repay me at all, I'm just glad I could help" I replied breaking out of the hug "is there anyone I could call to come and get you out of here"

"yes, my grandson, actually my grandson and i were in a parking lot heading towards the mall to do some shopping when i told him i forgot my phone and asked him to help me get it from the car, he hasn't gone for more than a minute when these boys came came out from God knows where, with a sedated handkerchief using it to cover my nose making me faint, and by the time i woke up I found myself here stripped of everything i owned by those boys"

I tried not to roll my eyes, i only asked a simple question and she gave me a detailed explanation of what happened, old people could be such loquacious people

"okay and do you know your grandson's number by heart so that i can call him" i asked

"no i don't know his number by heart, but i do know other things like his birthday, favorite colors and...."

"okay I get it, I'll just call 911 then" i interrupted her politely not wanting to listen to another long talk

I whipped out my phone dialing 911, after explaining the situation to them and giving them the address of the alley with the response of them coming soon, i hung up the phone facing the old lady "the police are on their way and they'll be here to take you home soon"

"Violet right, such a wrong choice of name, it doesn't suit you at all" she said shaking her head

"huh, what does that mean" asked a confused me

"it means your parents gave you the wrong name, Violet means beautiful and delicate, the beautiful part is absolutely correct while the delicate part is so wrong, nothing about you Is delicate on the contrary you are the toughest girl i know and that makes you special"

I shrugged "I know that I'm tough and all, but I'm not sure if that makes me special, besides i don't think i told you my name, so how did you know"

"oh i saw the name on the file you dropped while fighting those guys, isn't it yours"

"what fi..." I gasped as i remembered "ahh, the interview, my files, oh no"

my sudden outburst frightened the old lady and I turned to her taking the file from her hands "don't worry mam, the police will be here soon but i have to go so, bye"

Before she could even open her mouth to reply, I dashed out of there, how could i have forgotten about the most important interview of my life, why am i such a fool sometimes

When i got to the bus station, the bus just moved, i was happy to see that it hasn't left completely, but i couldn't celebrate yet till I've entered the bus, so I ran towards the bus like my life depended on it cause it actually did.

Fortunately for me, I saw Caleb through the window, I waved frantically hoping he would see me and fortunately he did, oh today is my lucky day

Caleb looked happy to see me, he then signaled for the driver to stop the bus and he did, i was so happy, i thanked God silently in my heart as i ran towards the bus to enter it, I'm truly such a favored girl

I was only 3 feet away from the bus entrance when it moved and sped away, leaving me very confused

"WHAT THE HELL" I screamed so loudly passerbys looked at me like I was insane, but i didn't care, how could they leave me like that, didn't Caleb stop the bus, but most importantly, did I just miss the most important interview of my life

I tried going to the interview office myself but I remembered that unless you join the bus you are not qualified to do the interview, besides the driver probably didn't mark my name in the attendance note

I couldn't believe i missed my life long dream interview just to help an old lady, it no longer felt heroic, but plain stupid and careless of me to ignore my interview like that

I squeezed my face tight to keep me from crying in public, i will do the crying when i get home, curled up in bed with Bella trying to comfort me

I felt so disappointed in my self, I also disappointed Bella, Lisa and my Sensei who were the only ones that knew of the interview and were confident I will do great

Today is officially the worst day of my life
