Victoria sunk into the bubbles deeper, causing most of her body to be engulfed leaving her nose just above the water level to continue calm breathing. She could hear the sound of her heart beat in her ears. The dulled, partially muted classical music playing from a small radio on the sink.
With her eyes closed she rested her hands on her bare abdomen. Her mind playing over and over everything that has been happening. Replaying meetings with students, with Shuya, with Pine. Her mind swarming like live bees constantly in motion from one thought to the next. It was so hard to just focus on one thing at a time when she needed to get them all strait in her mind.
She had been so preoccupied that she had forgotten to feed her fish for two days and would have to apologize when she finished soaking in her tub. The thought of her fish dying would not only be the topping on the cake but a depressive thing. It was her first pet after all.
Rising up from the bottom of the tub she swiped her hand from over her face to the top of her head to remove the bubbles. Tilting her head to the side Victoria seemed to enjoy the warmth that the water had to offer.
*Buzz* *Buzz* *Buzz*
The sound of her cell phone vibrated on the sink making her grumble as she reached with her fingertips to retrieve the phone. Barely making it, Victoria opened the flip phone and said hello while making a splash back into the water as she settled back in.
“Hey Vic, where you at?”
Jackson’s voice, one of the younger Banger Boys, spoke through the speaker.
“Hi Jackson. Im in the tub, can this wait?”
“Ooo can I join ya?”
“Shut it Jackson or I’ll have to hurt ya.”
“Kinky, actually it can’t. I got those files you needed from me. I don’t know how to tell ya Vic but you got a nasty case on your hands.”
Victoria moved her torso to the side of the tub, her bosom pressing against the cold porcelain, resting her arm over the side of the tub, leaving small puddles of water from her fingertips.
“How so?”
“Well..It seems like that guy you were telling me about was legit. After hacking into their data base it’s between Hircine and Paragon. Other schools which include the neighboring cities are above or just meeting national standards. Hircine has made improvements but whatever their teaching over there in Paragon seemed to catch on too. Its going to be a close call and if you don’t get the upper hand over Paragon the result will be the same. Hircine will shut down. Financials are the same way. Even thou Hircine isn’t putting much money into the school they have past bills that still need to be caught up on. It doesn’t look good when the next grant comes in but it will be enough to keep the school afloat. That is of course if Hircine comes on top.
Even thou Paragon has had a clean slate they are still pulling a lot into the repairs to keep the school in shape. You guys are about even and if you don’t do something soon it might just tip the scale between the schools. Every things in the email I sent you. You just have to get to your mailbox.”
“Anything else?”
“Yea, mind sending me a photo with your phone.”
“Jackson your becoming a perv. Good bye.”
She closed the phone without waiting for him to say anything else. He used to be such a doll and now he’s been spending too much time with Spyder. Placing her phone on the back of the nearby toilet she sunk back into the tub.
“So, Its going to be like that huh. I guess there isn’t enough time for us to do anything, I guess it is literally in the students hands. I just hope Hircine is ready.”
