We walked out even when classes should have been started everyone was walking in one direction.
"what happened ?" I asked Luke as Percy was long gone with his friends.
"My dad gives every fresh batch a speech so this time its our turn"
"why does your dad give a speech?''
"My dad gives this school the most money"
We went to the auditorium and took a seat together. The principal had dragged himself till here.
"Maybe you and Percy should try to be friends"
"you think?"
"ya .. i mean you guys think alike''
"but..." Luke was cut short by a man starting to talk on the mike. Luke mentioned it was his father.
I noticed that Percy was sitting right infront of us and was paying a lot of attention. I liked the speech.
And i noticed Luke wearing his earphones. i nudged at him but he just shrugged.
then Luke's father caught my attention. He said -
" If we just had to read from the text book, believe me, the teaching staff would be at that seat where your seating and every one of you would be in my place." everyone gave a polite laugh at this. the staff tensed up a bit. "teachers are only made to maintain rules but winners MAKE the rules"
everyone clapped. Luke looked around at the students and started clapping.
''This year we would have a competition to see who's the best. He or she would be given the award of -''
A red cloth was removed from a glass container which stored the coolest trophy ever
" THE STUDENT OF THE YEAR ''
