The next day after the competition I was napping on my seat in classroom before homeroom start. As my alarm buzz a get up from my seat and go towards the bathroom to wash my face and get refresh. As I entered in classroom again I see all the students was in high spirits chatting with eachother with loud voice as always. I wonder what they talk about with that much of energy in the morning. I sit on my seat waiting for homeroom to start.
The teacher get in classroom and shouted
Rahul come to the staffroom! Now! With a intence voice that everyone in classroom stays silent with fear. The teacher leave the classroom and I followed her back to staffroom. As we enter in staffroom teacher shouted again.
What the hell are you done in the competition? The principal eating 2 pills for high blood pressure because of you.
Can I seat? You too. We can talk after we seat right teacher? I asked with calming voice.
You are getting at my nerves! Yeah seat or do whatever you want. Teacher is still talking in irritated voice. I take a seat next to teacher desk and teacher also seat on her seat.
So what you want from me teacher? I asked
What I want? Do you even have slightest idea about what you did at that competition. So mock a contestant and you didn't stop at that you even made a bait with one of the audience and get money from them. I need a written explanation on it! Why you did that ? Teacher asked touching her head, maybe her haid was aching from what I did.
I have a question teacher did I participated in that competition with my will? Someone forced me to and I even tell you about that but you just ignore it don't you? I asked
That's ... The teacher stay silent
I'm the victim here, and you teacher shouting at me. I'm not a puppet of anyone who wants me to work for them I'm a pupeteer. I own my freedom. I said
I'm sorry I'm the one who fill out your form and participate your name in that competition but what should I do now? I didn't know you will make a this big of a deal because of that. What I should tell the principal? I'm going to lose my job at this rate. Teacher said in down manner accepting her did.
(Sigh) teacher just tell principal that it's all your plan from get going. Make me participate cause a ruckus and then get disqualified. It's all a plan to get more attention for college. Everyone will think of this college high because of that and no will call this college a wasted rich kid college. That's it. I said folding my hand with closed eyes.
That's ... Teacher stop for a moment at think about it and said
That's not going to easy to convince principal. I will try my best will my all might to persuate him. I have to call the principal right now you can go to classroom and for the god's sake don't do anymore unnecessary things and increase my job.
Okay okay teacher chilax okay. If I have to I'm going to if I don't want there is no one made me do it. I said and left the staffroom.
I was walking home Salina after college ended.
So what happened this morning? Teacher simmed very furious about something! Anything serious happened? Salina asked me with a worried expression.
Nothing at all! There was a misunderstanding this morning that I clear up with teacher. I said looking at her walking side to side. She looked relieved somehow.
Oh! And what about your chess competition? Did it ended? Salina asked meeting my gaze then looking away.
Ahhh I was disqualified from the competition for good.
Oh! Sorry I didn't know about that. I'm really sorry.
No no it's totally fine. Don't worry about that tell me about yourself. How's your work going? I asked scratching my back of head.
It's going smoothly, I resently did a photoshoot for a shopping mall and that featured in magzine and newspapers too. She said with bright smile with cheerful voice.
That's great! I said thinking about something
Rahul? What are you thinking about? Salina asked me
Oh no nothing serious! I'm just wondering how you do your photoshoot and everything. I'm just curious. I said
Is that so. W ... Wanna come to my next photoshoot this weekend then? She asked with slightly bright red.
Is that possible ?
Yeah afterall you .... Your my boyfriend she said in low voice.
Okay then I will take you on that offer I said and then it's decided that I'm going to see Salina's photoshoot on weekend. Then we walk together towards her living area that she leaves and said goodbye.
