"Silence!" Agastya shouts after having enough of the whispered chatters among the students. Everyone shuts their mouths looking at Agastya silently.

"Enough of your discussion! open your books, now" Agastya Glares at the class causing everyone to shuffle through their bags and bring out the textbooks.

"Ugh! I was hoping for some entertainment!" Saransh groans beside me, slumping on the chair while rolling his eyes.

The class is still whispering among themselves but not intensely as before and Agastya has gone back to solving the sums on the board, ignoring the curious and surprised looks students threw his way.

"How is this possible?!" Someone whisper shouts but it's not enough of a whisper if I can hear them so clearly.

"I know right! I didnt even think it was possible" her friend replies in the same manner.

"I told you guys, he must already have someone in his life" another person sighs behind me.

"Who is the class president?" Agastya questions all of a sudden grabbing my attention back from the gossip.

Saransh raises his hand beside me causing my eyebrows to shoot in disbelief as I gape at him "You are the class president?" I whisper in shock.

"You didn't know?" He frowns at my surprised state matching my reaction.

"No I-" Before I can complete my sentence my dear husband cuts me down "Collect everyone's homework and bring it to my office after the lecture ends"

My eyes widen in more shock as I try to recall which homework he is talking about.

From the other side of the classroom Myuri descends down the steps as Saransh also walks out from his seat before they start collecting books from students.

"Those who didn't compete theirs, be read for punishment" Agastya thunders sternly and moves his eyes around the classroom as a few students groan at his word.

I drop my head on the desk with a loud thud. If it was any other kind punishment I wouldn't have batted my eye on this.

Stop it, Aadriti! it's not funny anymore! My inner voice shouts at me.

Agastya continues his lecture while his desk starts filling with notebooks from students.

Is he seriously going to check everyone's homework? It's not possible right? It can't be! He is joking.

Someone taps my desk cursing me to lift my head to greet the intruder.

Mayuri stares down at me with a few notebooks in her hands as she opens her mouth to say "Your homework?"

I eye her skeptically when I notice a plain paper in her hand with a few roll numbers. Oh god when did she get that?

"I uh-" I contemplate telling her the truth, eyeing the paper in her hand once again when my mind echoes with Agastya's words.

"Those who didn't compete theirs, be read for punishment"

"I am collecting from this row, You can collect from that one" Saransh comes to stand beside my desk as he points his finger at the next row for Mayuri.

I leave a breath of relief when Mayuri walks away after glazing me for one more time.

"Thank god!" I throw my head on my desk once again before a book comes in my vision.
