The girl was in her bed with her eyes closed and her bedside light on.
She wasn’t asleep. She was waiting. The encounter with the boy from the next block of big houses, just a few days before, was all she could think off. She didn’t really know him. He went to a different school. She didn’t like him at all. He was such a show-off, and he had all these horrible pimples all over his face. She’d been told that his dad drives him to a posh school in the city every day in a big, expensive car. She didn’t really like talking to him, but he just happened to be there, coming out of the sweet shop with a huge bag of lollies. She nearly bumped into him, making him drop the bag. She had said she was sorry. That’s how it started, with him yacking away about how rich his mum and dad where. He was such a show-off.
That was when he told her about his teeth. At first, she thought he was exaggerating, the way boys do, but she soon realised that with his mum and dad being so incredibly rich, he was probably telling her the truth. She’s been thinking about it ever since.
It was lucky, really, that it just so happened that on this very night she had a tooth beneath her pillow. Not just her tooth. She managed to have her hand under there as well. She was waiting. She needed to have a serious talk with the tooth fairy when she came…
Her eyes were still closed when she heard the flapping of wings. As soon as she felt the movement under her pillow, she managed to grab the fairy by its tiny arm and drag it out. It had her tooth tucked under its other arm and was looking very annoyed.
Sitting up with a grin, the girl said, “Got you!”
Yanking its arm out from the girl’s fingertips, it said, “What do you think you are doing?”
She dived back under the pillow and held the coin up. “What do you call this?” she said.
With raised eyebrows, the fairy said, “What is your problem? We take the tooth and leave the money. That’s what we do.”
At this point the girl went into detail about the conversation with the horrible boy she met outside the shop. “Can you explain how this spotty kid gets twenty dollars for each tooth when I only get two?”
The tiny creature rolled her eyes. “Look kid, we just do our job. We do it without complaint, and we don’t like it any more than you.” She shook her head. “It plays havoc with our commission!”
“Commission?”
“Yes, commission. All these different rewards being handed out.” She sighed. “None of us really know what to expect at the end of the month.”
With a pout, she said, “Well, I think your system of rewards is very spotty.” She paused momentarily, thinking about how clever that was! She went on with a smile. “Well, OK. I had no idea.” She waved the coin. “Thank you,” she said.
Laying her head back down on her pillow, she closed her eyes.
Moments later, she was asleep.
