CHAPTER FIVE


HAHA, I FOOLED MY PRINCIPAL!

 

"Mom, I am the hero of the inter-class drama competition. For that, I tried my best to look heroic. How do I look like?" I twisted my word and tried to bully the illiterate mind of my mom.


She gave me a positive compliment. Her description of my hairstyle planted fat smile in my lips. 
A few minutes later, I raced to school. It was just 6 AM. I was early. In other days, I would be the regular late comer to the class and the assembly. However, that unknown girl has changed my entire mindset and pattern of my routine.


Five minutes later, I reached the paddy field. I slowed my walking pace. I scanned around to confirm whether she still works in the paddy field or not. She was nowhere.

A few minutes later, I reached in the school. 


Do you know what happened?


No sooner did my nose expose to the school campus, I was dog styled by my friends. They teased me for being with an unknown girl. 


The shocking thing was I did not get angry for teasing me. Rather, I thanked them for letting me remember her by teasing me for her.


"Oi, who is that girl? When are you going to marry her? Have you sharpened your weapon? Otherwise, she will kick you out of the bed." One of my friends teased me.


"Hey, come here. Do you see any possibilities that we may land up sleeping on the bed? Do you know about her? Will you be postman, please?" I caught his hand, I nudged him and tried my best to dig out so I could get a chance to know more about her.


He was shocked to know about my reaction. He intended to irritate me. But, I was happy and
