Just as she was about to turn but the one following her brushed past and started climbing the stairs,
She wanted to yell, "Can't you see?"
But she kept quiet and saw that the stranger turned to look back at her briefly. The place was dimly lit and she was not able to see his face but she got a glimpse of his bag it was dull gray and blue in color. He then went up the stair case very quickly and vanished.
Then in the class, Pooja was as usual sitting in the fifth bench beside her best friend-Tejaswini whom she fondly called "Teju". Then their mathematics teacher entered his name was Mr.Ramesh. He went straight to the board and wrote the name of a new chapter.
Then he said, "Before I start the lesson I want to ask you some questions from this chapter." someone said,"Ohh man why he always asks things we don't know."
Ramesh heard that and pointed his finger at a boy and asked him to stand up and then asked him a difficult question from the new chapter,
Naturally that student did not know the answer just kept quiet and hung his head down,
Then suddenly a very bright girl stood up and said, "Sir the answer is....." but before she could complete the sentence Mr.Ramesh looked at her angrily and she sat down.
Then Mr.Ramesh continued the lesson and gave them a lot of math problems as homework before leaving. His period was the last and after that everyone went downstairs waiting for their respective means of transport. So Pooja was waiting for her dad and Teju was telling something about "Indefinite Integrations" to which Pooja was listening with utmost interest.
Then after their little discussion, Pooja spotted the new boy in her class who had brushed past her shoulder. She told about it to Teju and Teju said, "Look at that boy with his hair messed up and ruffled clothes I bet he did it on purpose."
"Don't be so loud Teju he might listen and feel bad." said Pooja.
"If you ask me that guy looks like a beggar." said Teju...
Just as Teju was completing her sentence a brand new black Mercedes Benz E-Class came and stopped near their entrance gate. Everyone was a little surprised on seeing such an expensive car near their little coaching center. Someone asked "Did Harshal buy the new car??" Harshal was the richest boy in their coaching center. Harshal said that he did not buy any new car. Pooja and Teju were watching curiously as to who will get in then the doors of the car opened and the new boy in their class got in and the car drove away very quickly.
Then Pooja said to Teju,"Looks like your beggar turned out to be a Prince-A Beggar Prince."
Both of them had a hearty laugh about the little incident. Then Pooja's dad came and drove back to their home.
