Fatima's cell phone

By the time I stepped outside the leaves were on fire. The winds were blowing harder, everything had caught fire by the heat wave generated by Fatima. She was my childhood friend, her anger had power of burning everything, atleast when it was on me. For a moment I was left thinking of the reason. Was it because I copied her homework without prior permission or because bunked class without informing her? It was eight of clock and I don't think it's late, our school time is nine. Why is she yu angry? I wondered.

"Era aren't coming out?", She screamed at me.

I rushed to her swinging my hands around her, she pushed me back, "what were you doing yesterday? First of all you bunked yesterday's class, next you visited my home in my absence to stole my homework and what did you say to my mum? That I ain't focusing on studies and all teachers are fed up of me! Are you serious?"

So, we got ours reasons, I hope there's nothing more.

"Sorry, Fatima I was just...", I giggled, "I will tell your mother that you are a good student, okay?"

"Not okay. After that you video called me at school. At that time my phone was with Bella, so it was she who received it and she is such a dumb that she got caught by Mr. Halmhotz . And my phone is in his custody."

"That's it... I will fetch it for you don't worry"

"What are you going to do, Era?", She asked.

I smirked at her.

It was still half hour before nine, this is the our school teachers arrives. I was standing in front of staff room waiting for our class teacher, Mr. Halmhotz. In his blue suit he entered the floor running his fingers through his hair. He was the most stylist teacher of our school. He stepped into the room glancing at me with his cat green eyes.

"Good morning Mr. Halmhotz, may I come in? I had to submit my application", I asked monotonously.

"Morning, come in", he took a sip from his bottle.

I stepped into the room taking a look around. The room was empty.

"Why were you absent yesterday, and why had you called Bella?", he asked giving an alarming look.

"Actually sir, I was sick and I didn't want to miss your class so I had video called her to see you", I said slyly as I placed my leave application and homework

"I would have taught you separately, you weren't suppose to do that. Just see if Bella have brought signed application or not, I have to return her phone"

He is such kind person, one can't even wonder. He is unkind only to those who breaks rules. But how will Bella bring application if the phone isn't her?

"Teacher, do you remember that I had left my dictionary with you, can you please return it, I need it?", I made a plan.

"Notepad really? Let me check", he started checking his bag, "I can't see here", he taking out every other thing from his bag for my dictionary which wasn't there.

With every other thing he took out Fatima's phone. I recognized it with its blue cover.

"Let me help you", I said as I moved my hands through his books and other items. I intentionally pushed Fatima's phone with a book, to make it fall down the table.

"Oops! Oh my God! I'm so sorry sir!", I screamed as it fell breaking the screen guard.

"Shit! Bloody hell!", He exclaimed.

I looked at him with exclamation. I was surprised with his use of words.

"Sorry, I am sorry", he said picking up the phone.

"But sir, what are you going to do now? Bella's mother is a bit nitpicker", I alarmed.

"What should I be afraid? It wasn't me, it was you", he said putting the phone in my hands, "just give it back to her saying I have forgiven her and it was you who dropped it, okay? "

"But ..."

"No ifs and but just follow my orders", he alarmed.

"Okay, sir" I said in lowered pitiful voice.

Ha ha I got Fatima's phone without any application or begging.

I smirked getting out of the room with Fatima's phone and a promise that I'll be taught every missed lesson separately.

I got into the class,

"It happened just because you, why weren't you careful with the phone?", Fatima was seriously mad on Bella.

"Chill bae, I have got your cell", I passed her her phone.

"How you did that?," Bella asked.

"Era's magic", I said whirling my fingers.

"That's alright but what's wrong with the screen?", Fatima asked doubtfully.

"Let me see ", I said taking it in my possession. It wasn't getting switched on.

"Let me check", Bella gave a try but failed. We three got sank trying to switch on.

"Three musketeers, what are you doing?", Mr. Halmhotz entered.

Bella dropped the phone in shock giving it's screen another crack.

"Oops!", Teacher exclaimed picking up the phone. He switched it on and said, "congratulations, it's working! Now keep it in safe or I will take it back"

"No! No sir! Thank you!", Fatima said taking her phone in possession excitedly.

"So it was yours, thank your friend for, next time you won't be forgiven", he said looking at me, "and I remember I had returned your dictionary".

"Okay sir, I will check it",I said shying.

We got seated at our places, as the class began. One shouldn't do this in school. You shouldn't use phone, you should lie with teachers, you shouldn't play tricks with your teachers, but if it's a kind case like Mr. Halmhotz you can, it's fair. Okay, it's fair. I wish if this time can stop and I can live my school life forever, high school is best part of ones life and we are living it to the fullest, and we must live it to fullest. Thank you Mr. Halmhotz for making our high school life that special.
