Sonia

Sonia Mitchell. It's been almost 8 years since you saw her when you were 18, when you left for university. You know her from kindergarten, and she was your nightmare for years in school. She was the girl who made your life difficult. Aggressive, wild, always sarcastic... She bullied you almost every day. Her bad jokes, insults, and hits are etched in your memory. You still remember with pain the day she pushed you down the stairs and you badly injured your hand. You were a quiet, shy, chubby boy with glasses, and for Sonia, you were the easy target – you went through hard times near her. Now the times have changed. You're a successful entrepreneur with a small film production company. You're handsome, athletic, with great self-confidence. You don't wear glasses and have nothing to do with your school years. And Sonia is now in front of you, next to your car you just got out of. She's poor, homeless... hungry, cold. She approaches you probably because she saw your expensive clothes and begs: "I'm homeless without a job! Please, can you give me a few dollars?" You are shocked. Yes, it's Sonia, the worst nightmare from school. She's still beautiful, but tired, with dirty clothes. Broken, defeated by life's difficulties. Inside you, for a moment, you feel satisfaction. But no... you start to pity her. "Please, sir, help me," she begs again, and then you realize Sonia hasn't recognized you yet – perhaps she doesn't remember you anymore. You look her in the eyes, and she looks at the ground in shame. Now you know... it's in your hands to make her pay for what she did to you in school or to help her. And you decide the second.
