Chapter 2 - Homework Crisis

As I left for school I started to think that we have homework right?

"OHHH SHIT!" I didn't do the homework, more importantly, today is the last day of submission.

I knew it! Something that will ruin my day would arise.

"Shit, Shit, Shit, Shit." I ran as fast as I could. If I could just copy it from someone I still have a chance.

The school was in view and I could see children going in, maybe if I can find someone from my class from whom I can ask about their homework but...

"No one? Why do I have such bad luck."

I reached my classroom and I could see that almost half of the class was filled. For a second I forgot about the homework and wondered how it is possible that so many people can wake up early in the morning? I have so much trouble waking up early and here almost half of the class is already.

"I don't have time for this." I looked around to see if I could copy my work...

"Thud." I placed my bag at my desk and went directly to the topper of the class. Always ask the class topper for anything related to study.

Also, generally, the topper kind of people have a little bit of ego in them and their answer to someone who asks about their homework and their reply would be-

Case 1) "I didn't do it."

Case 2) "I don't know."

Case 3) "Teacher asked us to do it on our own."

The third one is the worst kind of answer.

So I have cracked opened a very simple formula about this kind of answer and that is-

"Hey, Tim, can I ask you something?" Tim is our class topper.

"Yeah, sure," he replied.

"I forgot to do the homework and I know this is silly of me but can I ask you to share your homework with me please."

"I don't know..." okay, so the second option. Here we go.

"But Tim beside you I don't know whether the work of others is correct or wrong. I can only believe that your work can be fully trusted."

"Umm... Since you want it that badly I guess I can give you but don't copy it line to line, change it in between so that the teacher doesn't find out that you copied mine." got him.

"Yeah. Even I won't do something idiotic like that." see the trick with egoistic people is to praise them a little and compare them with the whole. Also most important is to maintain a neutral relationship with them because you don't know when and where you need them.

"No time to waste now. Let's hurry." I sat down on my chair but... it is like people to meddle whenever there is a chance.

"Hey Allen, what are you doing?" I heard a girl saying this while I saw a pair of shoes resting on the side of my desk.

"What do you want Liz?" I asked her very gently, not to get angry.

Ask anyone who wouldn't get angry when you are doing important work and someone comes to you and interferes with your work for FUN!

"Nothing, I just wanted to talk to you."

What the fuck man?!

"Liz, can we talk later? I have to do some work right now?" she doesn't know that if she doesn't go away right now she might have to face some consequences.

"Wh-" as she was about to say something-

"Hey Liz, someone is here to talk to you." someone called her. Thank that person.

"DING-DONG! FIRST PERIOD."

And I cannot catch a break.
