Aanya's POV
He dropped me home and I called Yashvi as soon as I reached my room but she didn't pick up. Thinking she might be in class or maybe busy somewhere, I didn't call her again.
I've an exam tomorrow for which I've to study now. This exam constitutes a bigger portion of my overall grade for this year hence this is one the important exams and I have to clear it at any cost. Hence, I pulled out my books and started studying.
I was so engrossed into studying that I didn't realise when the sun set and night fell upon. I decided to have dinner and scroll through my phone a little before getting back onto studying.
As I was scrolling my phone while having my dinner, I saw an unexpected text notification. It was from one of the boys from the group I had a fight with today.
A- Aanya B- boy
B- hey! How's your preparation going?
What the hell? How come he's asking my prep? Something's fishy. Or maybe I'm just thinking too much. Without giving much thought, i replied him.
A- Hi. It's going good. Wbu?
I put my phone down but it beeped. I checked and that guy responded so fast as if waiting for me to text him back.
B- kinda okish. Do you think our paper will be tough?
A- idk. Maybe.
B- Based upon your preparation, what do you think?
A- I think it will be tough. The topics are hard and difficult to remember so the questions will be tougher too. Well that's just my thinking.
B- How good will it be if we get the question paper before exam. Right?
A- No way! That's cheating and I don't think that'll be any good.
B- But it will give us a good feeling knowing what all we have to learn.
A- listen, that's definitely not a good idea. You shouldn't think of something like that.
B- Whatever.
I left him on seen. I knew there was something fishy. Anyways, I ignored his texts and went back to studying. I practically studied the whole night and didn't get enough sleep. I slept at 5:30 am and had to wake up at 7 as the exam was at 9 am.
I went to college and went directly to check my room number and seat. I went to the room and was searching for my seat when I saw Ahana looking at me or I would say glaring at me. The heck is wrong with this snake?
The exam started and I was fully focused on the exam writing down things without looking anywhere else. Half way through the exam, I heard my name being called. I looked up only to see the director of our college along with the dean and our invigilator.
I stood up. "Yes sir?" I asked them being confused as to why they are here in the middle of exam and looking for... Me? What did I do?
"Can you come with us to the director's office, Miss Verma?" Our dean asked making me looking at him perplexed. "But sir my exam-" Director cut me off in the middle. "I don't expect the students of this campus to question back." By this time, every single person present in this room had his eyes fixated on me.
"Yes sir." I said with my head down. This exam was one of the most important exams for this year. Now my whole hard work that I did for this exam has gone down the drain. I don't know what the matter is but my exam is spoiled.
I followed them to the director's office. "Miss Verma, would you like to explain your actions?" The director asked making me look at him confused. "I'm sorry, I don't know what you are talking about sir." I said truthfully.
"Miss Verma, we've got proofs that you've leaked the question paper of today's exam." The dean said making my jaw drop 6ft down if it was possible. "What?!!" I nearly screamed.
"Would you like to explain?" He asked. "Sir I didn't leak any exam paper. I don't know anything about this." I said truthfully looking straight into their eyes. "We have proof Miss Verma." The director said. "Can I look at it?" I asked and sir forwarded me some prints. It was the chat I had with that guy from last night, except, the texts that he sent were named as sent by me and my texts as sent by him.
"This is false. It is photoshopped. I can prove it." I said hoping they would give me a chance. "Well then prove that you are innocent Miss Verma, because leaking question papers has a very strict action against it which includes expulsion from college and debarring from law board, that means you will not have a career in law." He said making me shiver at that thought.
Law is my dream. The only thing I've worked for from all these years. "No! I'll prove it. Can I get my phone? I have the chats from last night." I asked and he nodded as a yes. I turned around to go. "Stop!" I heard the director. "Yes sir?" I turned around. "You won't leave this office. Mr. Vardhan (the dean), get a peon to get her bag." He said.
I stood still and soon enough my bag was brought. I quickly pulled out my phone and opened the chat from last night but the Id was completely removed. I could not find the chats. I started sweating badly. "S..sir.. the.. the chats are not here." I stuttered. "What do you mean? Miss Verma, if you can't prove yourself innocent, then I'm sorry but I have to debarr you." The director said. "No! Sir please! I beg you! It's my future, my passion. Please sir! I'm innocent please believe me." I had tears in my eyes at this point.
"I'm sorry Miss Verma but the proofs are against you." The director said making the tears fall from my eyes. "But sir please give me sometime. I'll do anything to prove myself innocent." I pleaded.
"Alright Miss Verma. I give you 2 days. Prove yourself innocent or I'll have to expell you from this college and debarr you from law board." He said giving me hope. "Thank you so much sir! Thank you." I thanked him and went out of the room.
I ran down the stairs but stopped hearing the announcement. "This is to inform all the students that today's exam is being regarded as invalid due to the leaking of question before. This is a shameful act done by one of our students and actions are being taken against the student. The actions include expulsion from college and debarring from the law board. The exam will be conducted again after this matter is solved. Thank you." It was the director.
I sighed as I could hear whispers. Ofcourse the news of me being dragged out in the middle of the exam by the director and Dean is spread all over the college.
"I think it's her who's done such a shameful act." "How the hell did she even do that?" "With that cunning looking face of hers, she is definitely a witch." "Her law career is on stake" "bitch"
I looked around and saw everyone staring at me and gossiping within themselves, giving me dirty looks. I felt humiliated to my core. Tears fell from my eyes. I'm not this weak to cry infront of others but my passion, my dream is at stake.
Whoever has done this to me, I'll not spare them at any cost. Vineet came near me and I turned my face to other side and saw Ahana smiling. In some way or the other, this snake is definitely behind all this. "What do you want? Want to laugh at me now that I am being blamed?" I asked Vineet without looking at him, with my eyes still fixated at Ahana's face.
"I know it's not you who did this." He said making me look at him. He's my enemy, yet he's the only one who believes me. My eyes became moist again. "Don't cry penguin, we need to prove you innocent." He said holding my face in both of his hands and wiping tears of my face. "I..I only have 2 days. If I don't prove myself innocent then... Then I'll be debarred." I said and burst into tears.
"Shh my lil baby. Stop crying. I'll not let you get expelled and you'll not be debarred. Apni palko ko bhegona bandh karo, mere dil me dard hota hai." He said as he held my face caressing it.
