Arya came out of the office and closed the door gently behind her.
Raising her head, she glanced at the sign that read 'Principal's Office' with a tired look on her face.
She had been in the principal's office for close to thirty minutes now and she wouldn't lie that she didn't enjoy any bit of it.
When she saw the humongous 985 points sitting right next to her name earlier this afternoon, she knew that her days of quietly slipping through school like a cool eel were over, permanently!
The principal called her to his office and praised her for a full ten minutes on how well she had done in the mock exams.
The words of adoration were so overwhelming and she had to paste a perfunctory smile on her face till it started to hurt.
