Dream- An Ambition

Chapter 36- Teja's Punishment

Teja POV:-
After I argued with Tanish, I come to the female washroom. My hands where Tanish griped me pain a lot. When I remove my sleeves of Kurti then I saw that my hands have blue marks. I tried to touch them, and it hurt. I cried not because I am hurt. It's because of Srishti's words. So, that's what she thoughts about me. I don't know what did I do to her that she hates me to this extent.

I washed my face and wiping my face, and when I stopped crying. I hate crying, but when I become broke and unable to show that I am strong. I come to the washroom and crying my whole heart out.
I know today I missed 2 classes. But I can't help it. I don't want to face anyone. Then, I heard an announcement. The principal told me to meet them in the principal office.

I am shocked. How can this happen? I calm myself first and go to the principal office.
I knocked at the door, and I heard "come in" from inside. I entered the room and saw the angry face of the principal.

" Teja, what is this? " the principal yelled at me. I shivered.
" What do you mean, sir? " I asked.
" Don't try to act innocent. Look at the face of this girl. How could you slap her so hard? Your handprints are showing on her face. You tore her lips too. Care to explain. " He yelled.
I turn my face to Srishti.
She is covering her cheeks with her hands.
Anjali is standing beside her. She is looking at me with a smirk.
I knew it's all planned by Srishti. I turn my face back towards the principal.
" Sir, we fought with each other over some things. " I explained.
" I'm sorry, sir, but I can't tell you. " I said, and the principal face become red.
I know this answer makes my punishment double. But I don't care. I am facing punishment, even when it was not even my fault.

" Teja, what do you think of yourself. Just because your father knows some politicians and your mom is SMC(School Management Committee) vice-chairperson. You think of yourself so high. " He yelled.
" No, sir, it's not true, but I can't tell you the reason because I don't want people misunderstanding me," I said respectfully. But, he didn't understand anything.

" What do you think that I am sitting in position because I am stupid. You stupid girl, do you even know that student council applies that we should give you to them for punishment. You are not giving me any answer. Then, I am not able to help you but gave you to them. " He explained.
" I'm sorry. " I said, and the principal sighed in frustration.
" You are going to the student council office. " He ordered. I nod my head, bow to him, and left. The auditorium is also a council room.
I reached the council room.

When I come, I saw the whole 12th class are present here. Our head is Zoya from arts, Kamya from commerce and me from science. But, since I am the culprit, Anjali becomes the third head.

I saw most of the girls happy to see me as a bully. Soon, Srishti and Anjali come, and we took our position.
This case is so important. That's why we have given the 4th period for ourselves.

" Teja, do you accept that you slapped Srishti? " Kamya asked.
" Yes!!! " I replied.
" But, why? " Zoya asked.
" Because she slapped me first. " I replied.
" Even, she slapped you. As a monitor, you shouldn't do it to her. " Anjali said.
" I know as a monitor. I should not have done that. But, leaders, shouldn't she slapped me too? " I asked.
" I know what she did is wrong. But, you forgot your rules as the monitor. That's why you are guilty here. " Anjali replied, and everyone agreed.

" Your punishment is you have to sit on the center of the playground on your knees till school over. Your disciplining starts now. You can't even eat your lunch today. " Anjali said, and girls nodded happily and boys looking at me with pity.

I nodded my head and left.
I went to the playground and sat on my knees. I know it's going to be difficult for me.
In 10 minutes, Rain starts.
Wow, God. You helped me. I can freely cry now because I am not able to control my tears now.
I let my tears freely fall from my eyes.
I sit for 3 hours there.
I knew in 10 minutes. My punishment will be complete.
I am starting to feel dizzy.
I saw someone running towards me, and I smiled.
Soon, I lost consciousness.
