We thought that we will be taken to a big hall,something like Auditorium.But,the Venue for the competition is "L.K.G classroom".The tables were too small and it moreover resembled like dungeon.The kids of that classroom were send to ground and we were send in one by one.1hr allocated for the competition.Each sub i.e; English&Tamil..,30mins each.One old lady came and told,I will write(scribble)one passage u students copy it and handover it.We can't even sit in that small chairs really..but,me and vaishu because of our resolution stayed calm and watched things happen.We started writing first and came out(alive) from that classroom first.Vaishu told if we go to our classroom this soon,then everyone will question us by asking,whether we went to competition or roamed somewhere else..???? .So,i asked what can we do standing outside the LKG class..??She told better we will roam..I too got fed up on hearing our Moral Science classes..so we finally bunked our classes.Then after our school timing got over we went to our class and took our belongings and left the school happily.
After 1 week,the results of the competition was let out.We both were the students went and peeped into the staff room and scanned the list to see, whether either of us name was there.(our first drop of sweat dropped to become popular, worked a bit) A big surprise..!! I got 1st place in English(expected) & 2nd place in Tamil (was a shock..!! really did'nt expect).
Vaishu got 1st place in Tamil & 3rd place in English.We both were much contented.Till that day,we resembled like useless students in the class..but ,from the next day,we were treated differently by our classmates.A small crowd of students will be there near our bench and we(me &Vaishu) thought we are slightly becoming poplular.(exchanged our evil look..!!).
The next came Singing Competition.But both of us never known/aware of the singing basics.(even dog's barking sound wil be wonderful than ours). Just we both gave a try...We sung one devotional song of Jesus but,god did'nt show mercy on us both.We did'nt get any prizes but it helped us to become more familiar/close with our English Faculty Miss.Lavanya(coz,she is a christian,and got impressed with our song...anyhow traces of popularity among one faculty...hehehe...)
A Health Welfare council will visit our School every week and they will create awareness about health issues and also provide everyone with Iron Tablets.For most of the students(especially for my friend vaishu) that tablet showed side effects like vomiting.We,from students side opposed that.But,they continued.The only way is,we students should pretend like taking that tablet.Everyone(students who are not willing to take the tablet) accepted this idea and waited for giving their acting performance.
The day came and we were told to stand in a queue.My turn to eat that tablet and i kept that tablet under my tongue and drunk some water and left that place.My friend vaishu too did the same and we both spitted them out before entering into our class.The same council staffs came in the next week...(the real thrilling scenario followed by their visit.)Me and Vaishu this time cant spit the tablet, has most of the council staffs encircled us.So,we took that tablet and put that in our pocket and left that place.With no furthur delay entered our class and continued with our rest of our classes..Unfortunately the class we was about to hear is Moral Science.Pretty boring to here about someone teaching about the ethics of humans.So,my friend vaishu told better we can eat some Biscuits..!! i nodded my head as i felt too hungry and angry after hearing the teachers lectures.
The Biscuit pack was inside the bag and we should take ,unwrap ,and then should dispose the cover after finishing.I told to vaishu, its better we unwrap and keep it in our bag itself..we can take one by one and have.She too agreed and we started to unwrap the Pack slowly.(coz,all students slept after hearing the lecture and hence the class was too quiet,if traces of noise,we''ll be send out). we started tasting it nicely as it was Cream biscuit.Our Class leader saw this but her gestures resembled as if she wont report it to the teacher.
Still 4 more biscuits to go.We were busy enjoying and deeply immersed in eating and eventually forgot about our classroom.Our Moral science teacher suddenly came for rounds.We both had two biscuits,each in one hand.We disposed the cover too so cant hide our snack... so, we were left out with one choice.i.e; to put in our pockets..The ultimate dreadful scene followed..Our Head Mistress was behind us.
She saw the entire thing(the thing we hided in our pocket).And she called us both out and told to have our biscuits.We refused.But she shouted and made us take that biscuit out and eat.I patiently took the biscuit and ate..but my friend got frightened on seeing our H.M's face and took the biscuits and ate those..Yucky..!! Mistakenly the tablet which was in her pocket got stuck to the cream of the biscuit and ,unnoticingly she ate it fully.
Our H.M(synonym for Hitler) she warned us .Then we immediately rushed to the washroom before anything worse could happen.As thought, my friend kept vomiting for the remaining day.
Lesson learned: Dont believe anyone chuckles u at(even he/she is ur class leader).
From that day, we concentrated towards our studies.I topped in the class and happened to hold the position of the Class leading person.2 badges was given to me,One for First Rank and the other one for Class Leader.Felt Honoured..!! More responsibilities fell over me.And more friends i gained(Fake friends who stuck with me when i got first rank,before that none would turn back and give a look..i learnt more about the people and from then by myself understood the difference between false and true friendship..Thanks for letting me know this).Stayed obedient in class and think, i did my job well...The competitions and appreciations continued...sigh*
Note: Me and Vaishu did'nt become popular yet..wait for my next post..!!
