Stupid Rules

It’s the first time ever that I am not in a proper uniform. For me it’s not a big deal because one can forget essential things. However there are some people who are not going to forget “the School Vice-Captain is not in a proper uniform!!God save this school!”  Damn!This is a horrible feeling.

Today I am not in a proper uniform. I was not wearing a white dress! It’s Wednesday and I was supposed to wear a white kameez. I forgot to wear it. I wish I had seen the routine once, only then I wouldn't have forgotten.

Some of them will tell me ‘What is wrong with you Anjali? Why are you getting deteriorated day by day?" Oh!   How am I supposed to answer such pathetic questions?

Some will say ‘there are some annoying people in the class who pretend to be people they are not. And one day when the curtain will be lifted the mask will also be removed…and their real face will be revealed.’ These things are said in general, but pin-points to you and you feel like a thousand dagger stabbing all over your body!

These incidents compel me think ‘I wish I were invisible!’ I was trying to hide my head in shame with my muffler in the assembly line. I said to myself,' you should get a REAL punishment for being so careless!'

To make matters worse I made up handsome excuses!

It goes like this,' actually sir, I was having coffee this morning and the cup slipped and it fell into my white kameez. It was a sheer accident. I wish I had not come to school but my mom forced me to wear an alternative dress and I ended up wearing the wrong uniform!'

‘Wow’, I said to myself. Even I didn’t know that I can tell lies in such a sequential manner! However more than half of my listeners did not believe me!

I hope everyone will forget about this by the next day.
