Living with my tutor

Ch-2 School

"Kia please behave yourself at school and don't let any irregularity in your permanent record coz they will be told to the parents by personally calling them. And dad does not buy any sick excuses. And one more thing. You are no more in primary wing now. You are in middle wing and the rules are really strict here. You will not be forgiven for your mistakes but rather punished for them. So please do not let yourself in any trouble and follow all the rules." BYEE. Love YOU!!! Atharv my brother said while dropping me in my class and then he went straight to sports complex to help the club incharge with the particulars of the new members of grade 5 as he was the club Captain.

The bell rang and my class teacher Mrs Solanki came in with the list of the clubs that were assigned to the students.

She was the only female teacher that I had in my schedule and probably the most lenient but not so lenient.

Roll no. 1 Aayush ------ Heritage club.

Roll no. 2 Aman -------- Eco club

Roll no. 3 Anjali --------- Health&Wellness club

Roll no. 4 Ankur -------- Science&Astronomy club

.

Roll no. 12 Harsh ------- Literary club

.

.

Roll no. 16 Kiara ------- Sports&Yoga club

"OH s**t!! NOO" It slipped from my mouth and the scariest thing was that Mrs Solanki heard me.

"Kiara better behave yourself, else I'm gonna put it on your permanent record. I had really not expected this from you. You are such a bright and charming child. You must not use such foul language in school premises and rather I should say anywhere." She told in a caring way.

"I'm sorry ma'am. I couldn't control myself and it just slipped off. I'll take care this doesn't happen again"

"Yeah, it better not" and then she continued with the list.

Oh god. Why this does happens with me. Being in sports&yoga club was my least priority. How can I be in the same club with my brother as the club captain? It really sucks. And I'm really not in a mood to face Mr Siddharth Khurana, the club incharge and our P.E. Teacher. He is really very strict and especially very concerned with the positions that we get when we participate in any game.

My thoughts were interrupted by Mrs Solanki when she told us we will be having club periods on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 8 o'clock to 10 o'clock.

Today was Monday so we did not have a club period. Thank God!

Mrs Solanki started teaching and the first period was soon over.

My 2nd period was of Maths and I was really excited for it.

"OK kids, just open up your textbook and yes one more thing show me your projects that i'd asked you to make." Mr Pankaj said as he entered the class.

"....And where's your chart Proksh?" he said to the boy sitting on the first bench.

"Sorry....?"

"I said. Where's. Your. Damn. Chart?"

"I'm sorry sir but I was on leave before the holidays so I asked about the homework from one of my friends and I was informed that Either we had to make a complete report on any of our fav topics of maths on A4 sheets or we had to make a chart. So I preferred the report and here it is."

"Are all these students foolish who worked their ass out and made both the 'report' and the 'chart' ". Mr Pankaj barked.

"You. All. Had. To. Make. Both. The. Things." Mr Pankaj said angrily focussing on each word.

"Go stand at the back of class and raise your hands and mind you, your elbow should be at perfect 180 degrees angle.

"Sir.. But..!"

"I don't care whatever the reason was. The fact is that you have not completed the work assigned to you. Now don't argue.

Just Go."

Wait

"And by the way who's your Friend who misguided you."

"Ah... Sir....I...askkeed... to... ah... Kiara"

"KIARA AGNIHOTRI" He yelled.

"Uh... yes sir..." was all I said while standing up from my seat.

"Show me the project and chart you have made"

.

Oh God I'm Screwed.

.

"I'm waiting Kiara. Bring your damn project and chart..!"

.

"I beg your pardon sir. But I really did not know that we had to make both of them. I've just made the report" I said handling him the project.

"Oh! Really. Then it shows how inattentive you were during the class."

"I'm sorry sir."

"Yes you will be sorry after what is coming to you" He said with a straight face.

I was scared now on the thought of what's coming.

"Spread your arms"

I froze and did not move.

"Spread.Your.Arms" I shivered down my spine after listening to his words and did as told. He then walked to the almirah and brought a R...RU....RULER..

"Lift your palm. You will be getting 10 for misguiding your friend and 15 for not completing the work assigned to you."

.

"Sir but she intentionally did not misguided me. She herself did not know about.." Proksh said from the back of classroom with still his hands raised and elbows at perfect 180 degrees! But was stopped when Mr Pankaj shot him a glare.

"Do not interfere Proksh unless you also want to be in the trouble that she is in."

"And you kiara, lift your right palm up coz I know that you write with your right hand and not to mention that it should and it will hurt when you will be writing anything and completing the remaining project by tomorrow."

My heart dropped on listening to his words. Completing the project in just one day would be very difficult since in our school we do get a lot of homework in all the subjects and making up for the pending work was very difficult as we were not left with much of free time.

And after my palm will be receiving 25 hits from the ruler, it will become next to impossible for me to complete the project.

"What are you thinking? Lift you palm and do not move if you don't want to make it worse than it already is!"

With these words he began the torture on my palm. Rather I should say right palm.

SMACK. SMACK. SMACK. He continuously gave me 3 hits and I felt intolerable pain. I had never gotten in such a trouble to get such a painful punishment.

I tried to be tough and mentally prepared myself because this was just the beginning and nowhere near end.

SMACK. SMACK. SMACK. SMACK. SMACK.

SMACK. SMACK. SMACK. SMACK. SMACK.

After the 13th hit, I was broken up and could not take anymore. Naturally my arm started to come down.

He got the hold of my wrist and said "Do. Not. Move. Kiara. How many times I have to tell you this?. That's an extra three."

And then continued.

SMACK. SMACK. SMACK. SMACK.

SMACK. SMACK. SMACK. SMACK.

SMACK. SMACK. SMACK. SMACK.

I tried to stay still since I didn't want to get any more extra hits.

SMACK.

SMACK.

SMACK.

Last 3 were the hardest and I was thankful that the punishment was finally over.

"I'm Sorry sir. It will not happen again."

"Yeah! It should not."

I did not realise when the tears came in my eyes until Mr Pankaj asked me to go to water point and wash my face.

I went to the water point and he began checking the projects of rest of the class.

When I walked out, I faintly heard him telling Proksh that he can come back to his seat but his project should be completed by tomorrow.

When I came back to class he had almost finished checking the projects of the class and had lectured 2 more defaulters for some minor mistakes and asked to redo the work to some as he was not satisfied by the efforts they put.

"Kiara and Proksh the work assigned to you must be completed by tomorrow otherwise both of you will be getting a cane. And mind you I'll not buy any sick excuse that you did not get enough time or the work was more, etc. etc." He said in a harsh tone.

Then he started teaching.

After about 30 minutes the bell rang and it was a fruit break for about 10 minutes.
