The bell rang, Jawad rushed into the classroom.

"Class, good afternoon" said the teacher who entered.

Students in that class were silent and a beautiful teenager girl entered the class. The anxiety to some of the peers in Jawad's class arose. By which, Jawad was quiet and Kochu was beside him. Hence, the girl pointed her finger at Jawad that rounded his eyebrows and opened his mouth with a shock.

"He...bullied...me" stammered the girl.

"Ma'am, I don't even know her!" screamed Jawad.

"But Jawad, one of the students saw your friends and you were bullying the girl by slapping her and took her pocket money from her" said the teacher with a stern look.

"Look, ma'am, I wasn't even in this scenario! Why this girl would blame me out of nowhere and who is the speaker here?" screamed Jawad.

"I think, you need to talk to the principal regarding this!" said the unpleasant teacher.

That left Jawad the unexpected event. Hence, he followed the teacher to the principal's office, that shivered his spine, with a bit of a mental breakdown. The girl was silent. He sat outside the office in the bench. Therefore, he overhead the principal's conversation with the father.

"Hello, Mr. Karim" said the principal.

"Yes, who is it?" said Rahat from the press, on which newspaper clippings and prints were heard.

"It's about your son, Jawad" said the principal.

"Oh, principal sir? What happened to my son?" asked Rahat.

"He bullied a girl from the other section due to his rage. But he is refusing to know her. I don't know what's becoming of your son? He might have been an average student but was a good boy. What is becoming of him?" said the principal

"I don't know, my son is acting strange these days, he's probably disturbed by the excess behavior at home. God knows what he's been up to lately!" said Rahat.

"Would you like to..." but was interrupted by the cross-connection on the phone and cut. Hence, the principal called him through his office.

"May I come in, sir?" asked Jawad.

The principal admits him in.

"Jawad, you are failing your grades once or twice" calmly said the Principal.

"Once" corrected Jawad.

"Well, if it is twice, what problems are you facing during your school time. Whenever I walk around, I always see you with Kochu, who was a worse student than you!" said the Principal.

"He's not a worst student, he's just being a loyal friend to me. What gives you the right to ask my parents on phone about my grades and the girl who I don't even know, is accusing me of bullying? How could you belive that so easily, sir?" asked Jawad.

"You need to be learnt a lesson at home! You are messing a bunch of assholes like me! I even can ruin your career! If you just harass another girl, I will break your brains entirely!" glared The Principal.

"I am sorry sir, this school is no longer my priority, because unprofessionals like you will have a straight jail, because you reminded me of an ungrateful king who believes everything easily and each of your 'so-called brilliant' students are the bunch of pimps which strangles through the discrimination of poverty and human rights. And thank you for your time" snapped Jawad.

He walked away like a boss that shocked the principal with dismay and disbelief. Furthermore, Jawad went through the school field, looking at his 'fake friends' smiling along with the girl who falsely accused him. That infuriated him like wind and rushed through the fake ones. It was a moment of desparation and the fire sparkled them with the revelation that might shock Jawad to the abyss.
