On that fateful day, Cindy had just stepped out of the restroom when she caught sight of Anna heading in. Seizing the opportunity, she stealthily locked Anna's stall from the outside before sauntering off.
Still fuming, Cindy rounded up a bunch of her friends, and together, they dumped a large bucket of ice-cold water over the stall.
Anna, fresh from using the loo and ready to leave, found the door jammed shut from the outside. Before she could even process a plan to escape her chilly prison, she was drenched from head to toe!
Completely bewildered and now boiling with rage, Anna stepped back and kicked the flimsy door open with a loud "BANG!"
The door swayed precariously on its hinges as a soaking wet Anna emerged. Her eyes narrowed at the sight of Cindy and her cronies snickering at her expense. It was crystal clear who was behind this soggy surprise.
Cindy had always been a thorn in Anna's side. Their feud was well-known, but this latest stunt was over the line! Unable to contain her fury, Anna lunged at Cindy, her hand clamping around her neck as she delivered a resounding slap. "You're asking for it!"
Cindy was accustomed to throwing her weight around the school, and she was initially stunned by the slap. But like a wounded lioness, she roared back and swung at Anna. "I'll tear you apart! How dare you hit me!"
She clawed at Anna, aiming for her face that she thought was more beautiful than her own. Fortunately, Anna had been well-trained by Johanson and quickly subdued Cindy, pinning her to the floor with skillful ease.
The onlookers, friends of Cindy, hesitated to intervene, daunted by Anna's prowess. Cindy lay sprawled out on the ground, cursing and shouting, "You jerk, get your foot off my face, and I'll show you!"
Upon seeing Anna's fierce stance, Cindy’s friends cautiously approached, intending to pull Anna away from Cindy.
Anna stood her ground, foot firmly on Cindy, glaring menacingly at the older girls. "This is between Cindy and me. Anyone who tries to interfere will face my wrath!"
With that, Anna picked up a bucket of water and drenched Cindy. "Didn't your mom ever teach you not to mess with people you can't handle?"
The cold water hit Cindy like a ton of bricks, leaving her shivering and gasping. She struggled to rise, but Anna's weight kept her pinned. "Damn it, Grace! How dare you splash me with water! Let me go. You'll regret this!" Cindy continued to rage.
Her friends saw the situation escalating and wisely decided to seek help. "Hang in there, Cindy. We'll get someone."
