Proxy

The previous night was one of the better ones of my life. I had a hard time convincing myself to sleep. I was so excited, but sleep was necessary because tomorrow was my turn to do 'proxy'. You see we had an agreement, my friends and I. We were bound by the sacred word, an unspoken oath, we had to take turns to go the morning tutorials and mark the attendance of each other. There were three of us, Rohan, Sammer and I.Sameer and Rohan had served their terms respectively, I was next. I did not see an eye to an eye to the morning lectures. But I had no choice, we had marks for attendance, ya that's right, no need to be taken aback. So as per plan I slept early(which was at 1 by the way)to get up on time the next day.Next morning it took 6 alarms and the constant banging by my neighbor on my door( apparently he had woke up due to the alarms and was a bit irritated that I was still asleep and was switching the alarms off) to wake me up. So i woke up , had breakfast for the first time in the mess and then went to class as a dutiful slave.
What was taught in class is of less importance, it was like a tangent. it touched my head and went far away!!!!!!!!. So I am sparing you the details.
What was interesting is what followed
You see we have a sheet that is passed among students to mark the attendance. Teachers actually believe that students will not use any unfair means!!!!!!!!
So when the sheet was passed to me I marked mine Rohan's and Sameer's attendance.
I was relieved after that, a job well done. I was wrong.
Destiny has a personal grudge against me, always has. Never before had the teacher never before but then that day he decided to take a head count. There were 2 students less, ob.
Teacher - "Who has put proxy attendance?"
No answer
Teacher - "Tell me or zero to all of you"
Some geek, some moron gave the idea to call out the names.
'I am a dead duck' I thought
So he called out the names
"Sameer"
No answer
"Rohan"
No answer
"Puneet"
"Present Sir"
"Where are the above two"
"I don't know sir"
"I haven't seen you in any class, but your attendance is full, you people you think you can fool us. I want to see all three of you in my chamber this evening or consider yourselves repeating the course"
'I am screwed man' "Yes Sir"
