CHAPTER -5
I was getting ready for tomorrow's school when I heard the notification bell in my phone rang. It was from 'SMS '. Somebody from unknown number had messaged me.
Hi!
It's me.
Tomorrow mooring collect all the forms and keep on my desk.
At first, I didn't get the person but after sometime I did surely remember that it must be Tan for sure. Only he is the one who can order me like this. 'What a piece of crap is he?' I said to myself. Who sends such a message without even name mentioned in it? I was smart therefore, I got it. What if I wasn't smart. Anyways, I have to see early today so that I can reach school early tomorrow and collect the forms. Collecting forms is the worst job I ever know; It's like dealing with amnesia patients. I had very bad experience from last years I remember how many times you have to plead so that your classmate won't forget the forms. Besides that, some serve cases, forget where they have kept the forms and some serious assess don't even remember if there was something like form given to them. Last years, it took me two weeks to collect the forms and these years there are more 10 students so obviously it's gone take more time.
I could barely sleep at night without reading my favorite book. It was so interesting and full of mysteries that I can barely keep myself away from it. I was so immersed in reading it yesterday that I slept at 3: 30 am last night. Because of that I was late to school too; If I, did it same today, I wouldn't be able to collect my forms. I had messaged everybody personally to bring the forms. I wish everybody will bring the form tomorrow because I have used Tan's name to tell everyone, So I am sure that they will bring. And for Kris addicts I have told them that Kris is going to collect form tomorrow in his class so they should also brin back the forms. I hope this both things work. Staying in a school where there are two popular people with huge following is such a big fuss. Your class is divided into tow groups already. If you don't go with both of them in mediation, then you will be in big mess. And you will be punched by both the sides. I am taking this risk only because I have no other way other, I would have never done this. I hope neither of one come to know this that I am using their names otherwise I will be totally screwed.

Place - Staff Room
"May I come in sir?" I asked politely to Mr. Lee who was idlily dancing in the staff room. He had his headphone on and that's why he didn't heard me. I went near him to talk but he suddenly turned by and was scared by my face. " Ahhh!" he screamed aloud as he fell down on the floor.
"You scared me! What's wrong with you?" he asked still lying on the ground.
"I didn't sleep whole night. "I answered him back.
"Ahh! Your generation only know to spent nights playing on phones, watching movies, dramas and then you'll come with swollen faces ins school and scare a timid teacher like me." he babbles getting up.
Ms. Reena entered the staff room with mobile in her hands with a swollen face like me. Mrs. Gems asked her,
"Ms. Reena you don't look well today, are you ok?"
"I am ok! but…." She stopped looking at Mr. Lee. She headed towards him and said;
"Thank you! Mr. Lee for yesterday's treat. Your choice in movie is great. Normally, I sleep during late night shows but your company was really good."
I now looked at Mr. Lee and he had just realized that he was coiled between his own talks.
"I also belong to your generation!" he exclaimed to me explaining his earlier sentence.
"Sir, But why have you called to staff room?" I asked. I had collected all the forms just few minutes ago and kept it on Tan's desk. My idea of using Tan's name worked totally well. But I didn't find any kris addict in class, so I don't know if my plan really worked or not. I was just leaned on my desk to take a nap but somebody came at my bench and told me that Mr. Lee has called me in the office so I came to staff room.
"Oh! Yueh, I totally forgot about that. You didn't complete my work?" he said being serious now.
"What work, sir?" I had no idea about what Mr. Lee was talking about.
"Yesterday, I had messaged you about collecting the forms and you even replied 'ok' to me."
This blew my head complete. So, yesterday the person I was cursing for nit mentioning the name was not Mr. cheesy but Mr. Lee. I am back to class without wasting a second. When I came back to class, I straight ran towards Tan who was talking with his friends and his friends were sitting on the desk. The papers which I kept on his desk were not seen anywhere now. I pushed his friends off the desk to see the papers but still couldn't find one.
"What do you think you are doing?" came a firm voice of Tan.
"Where are those papers? There was a bunch of papers here. Where are they?" I questioned barely breathing.
"Those papers which were on this desk?" asked Tan calmy.
"Yeah! Those papers? where are they?" I asked again.
"They were occupying lots of space so I told to put it in trash." he answered simply.
I tried my best to hold my anger . He simple and calm face after doing such thing was piercing my heart . I wanted to grab his collar and smack him at his head .But I stood there like a statue thinking , What will I say to Mr. Lee and other classmates ?
