So, I got an absent. During the whole class, I was depressed. I did not give much attention to the lecture. The teacher gave me bad looks, but I ignored. How dare he gave me absent?? I was late just by 4 minutes, not even 5. Now I can never get my attendance to 100%. I was just talking with 'inner me' that the hourly bell disrupted my attention. I was the first one to move out. Even before the teacher said to leave. I didn’t care for him to say that. I was a busy man right, Mr. Teacher!
Now it was the class, for which I am always excited. It was the soft skills class. The only class infect for which I am always excited. I went straight to the room, no water, no restroom time, directly to the class. I took the second seat. Why was I excited for the class? Ooh, it was Soft skills? Maybe that's why?? No way. I mean, yeah, I am a bit better at it, but the reason was something else. The soft skills class was elective subject so 2 or maybe more sections were merged in that class. In other words it was her class. No, not the teacher. Although she was beautiful too, no offense. It was actually the girl of another section. I was into her from the first year. I have been following her to her classes. Sometimes I even missed my classes because of her. Many times we had eye contact but I never had the courage to talk to her.
The class started. All the students were present. She was sitting just by two seats left to me. I was full with anxiety. I was thinking about her that suddenly madam asked me to join her in front.
“Now Pratap will give us a demonstration of how to sleep in class" Madam giving me bad looks pointed out.
I went in front and was in a bit of wonder now what to do? But me being me, I took advantage of the time.
“Yeah, sure mam, with your guidance, I will definitely share my tips of such a talent" I said jokingly.
“Oh, go ahead. I am feeling so positive to hear you"
“I hope I will stand on your standards mam"
Now here comes my little demo on how to sleep in class.
“Sleeping in class is a symbol of intelligent students. Good Morning to one and all present here physically and mentally, my name is Pratap aka Pj. Now I will give you some tips about how to sleep in class without getting caught. First of all never sleep in class if you are having habit of snoring “the class busted out in laugh. I took a quick look at her face, she was smiling. This gave me more confidence to entertain the whole class.
“See guys, try to take first seats if you want to sleep because teachers usually ignore them due to chaos from back benchers. Back benchers, if you guys want to sleep, carry a towel cloth with you. Make sure it is below your forehead while you are sleeping. This way your head will get some heat and if you got caught make the reason that you are sick. Teacher will most probably check your temperature from forehead and pass his or her judgement." my demo was too good.
“Nice job Pratap. You are a good speaker"
“Thank you mam"
Learn from him. How to be calm at such situations and use your brain to enjoy the opportunities. But Pratap I don’t want to see you sleeping next time in class. Everyone open your books now, it’s time to start chapter 3: The signs.
I walked back to my seat. Surprisingly she spoke to me for the first time.
“That was nice Mr. Pratap”
“Thank you Ms."
“Ms. Mandeep, actually don’t call me that. Call me Mandy"
Call you Mandy?? Is she saying we are going to talk again?
“Thank you Mandy"
“And don’t mind, now can I ask why you used to follow me last year?"
I was shocked. I was not prepared for such situation. I didn't saw that one coming. I talked to myself, No doubt it's true, if beginning of the day is bad, your day will go bad.
