The Scam in Junior College (Part X)

I wrote this story, The Scam in Junior College, in 2013 and think this is the right time to post it on A Journalist Reveals. This is also one of the stories I wrote based on a real incident. Here’s the tenth part.

The Scam in Junior College (Part X)

The next day when she entered a XIth Commerce class, a disgusting sight greeted her. Written on the board was, “David loves Radha.”

Revulsion consumed her and she left the class, in a huff, for the staff room. There, she informed the staff supervisor about what she had seen. Manpreet’s face turned red and she got up to come with her. In the class, the supervisor asked the students, “Who wrote this on the board?”

None of the students got up. Then, the supervisor turned to Radha, “You continue the lecture. I will find out who wrote it.”

“Ma’am, I am not going to teach here unless the culprit is punished.”

Right then David passed near them and looked into the classroom wondering what had happened. He came into the classroom and spoke to the students. Within 5 minutes, he had them apologizing to both David and Radha. The boy, who had written it on the board, came up to Radha and said, “I heard some lecturers link you both romantically, so I wrote it on the board.”

Radha was very angry. She took the boy to the principal and told him what had happened. She then turned and looked at the supervisor, who had followed them into the principal’s cabin. Even David had entered the cabin behind them. “I thought an education institute is a temple of learning. But this is what is happening in your college, Sir.” Radha said with aversion. “Unless and until I get a written apology from the culprit teachers, I will not teach.”
