"Only ten minutes are left. Attach all your extra answer sheets and all other loose pages quickly and then continue writing." announced the examiner. 

Arjun took a sigh of relief and then had a look at his watch. It was really very frustrating and boring sitting for at least half an hour doing nothing, thought Arjun. It was his last paper and that too of Hindi (one of the easiest subject, according to Arjun). He completed his paper in two hours and then took a sound sleep for about twenty minutes. He was quite happy to realize that he could freely enjoy after those couple of minutes.  

Suddenly the bell rang and there came an announcement "stop writing". While the examiners were busy collecting the answer scripts, the students were trying to scribble down the last inch of words on their sheets. Students who had not written anything in their prescribed time limit were trying to copy maximum number of words from their neighbours copy. Some got success in their attempt but mostly failed to garner, even the minimum possible word limits. The examiners were finally able to collect each manuscript and after doing other formalities allowed the students to leave the premise.  

The students were finally free to enjoy the moment of, freedom and liberty. They started howling and the teachers were smiling seeing the transformation of humans into wolfs.  

Suddenly a voice was heard "boom" and everyone knew that someone was busy enjoying his/her company with crackers.  

Arjun called his friends for a healthy talk which lasted couple of minutes, about the things they were going to try out this vacation or say for this half month holiday. While Arjun was busy chatting, he felt that someone was persistently keeping a watch on them. He looked all around but saw no one.  

Finally they all decided that before returning home they should first try their hand in cricket. Very quickly the two teams were ready and Arjun was appointed leader of one. 

Arjun physical persona was quite impressive. Although his height was less than a normal 15 year old boy but his good physique provided, a good cover up over his height. His colour was quite fair and was well complemented by his brown hair. His eyes always tried to convey that he was up for some mischief. 

Arjun played his part in the match. Although he was not able to score much runs, but was able to complement his other team mates well. His other team mates, played better than him and were successful in snatching win from the hands of their opponent. They were now fully exhausted and decided to pay a visit to their home sweet home. 

As expected Arjun reached his home very late and his father and mother were ready to give him a very sound scolding.  

"Arjun is this a time a student should return his home," asked Arjun's father, Ajay. 

Ajay was a strongly built man just like his moustache. Some specks of hair, on his head, had turned white but that had nothing to do with his ever glowing face. A bit of belly was popping out of his belt though he was trying his level best to put it back in its original position. But yes, all these comments on his physical appearance had nothing to do with his anger which was quite bad, according to Arjun.  

Arjun was still in his jolly self and had yet not fully realised the danger he was facing. "No papa", replied Arjun. 

"So you don't consider yourself a student,"  

"Why papa". Arjun was now slowly realising the gravity of the situation. "Didn't you noticed the time of your arrival," exclaimed Ajay, his face slowly conveying his anger.
