Dear Diary,

I never really meant to sleep during my class. It wasn't exactly my fault. It was the weather's. The soft melody of the rain drumming against the hard, concrete road and cold spray of the rain that crept into my room and landed on the woolly carpet was a factor. The fresh, damp smell of the earth which wafted in and my warn, midnight - blue jumper also contributed to my nap. Before I know it, my eyelids closed and my head dropped onto my the freshly carved mahogany table. My headphones hung loosely around my ears and were on the verge of falling down. My teacher might have called my name out a few dozen times during my unexpected slumber but I had long before drifted off into the amazing land of dreams. It was my sister who woke me up. Are you sleeping? And your online class is ON! she exclaimed. "W.. What I stuttered waking up and forcing my eyes open. I looked around aimlessly, confused. You were sleeping, dummy!' my sister replied while shaking me like a rattle toy.' Stop it! Go attend your online class. I have mine to attend.' I replied, shrugging my sister's hands off and pushing her away from my chair. "My class got canceled" she announced and continued. 'You should not sleep during your class, you know. It's a very bad habit.' she said moving away from me and rodding her head like she had announced a great truth. "Oh really! Who are you to tell me that?" I spat. "Your sister? You shouldn't talk to the like that. I do all your homework, class work, projects, worksheets, class tests etc. etc. Without me, you would be failing. Besides I know a secret that can got you suspended from our school." my sister said . At that moment I wanted to push my sister out of the room and slam the door at her face "Firstly it's not like you hate doing my work. You like doing it. Secondly, what is that secret you were talking about?' l asked inquisitively. "The secret is…..wait for it……. wait for it. 'You ARE UNMUTED!' she exclaimed, bursting out into a fit of giggles and falling on her knees, clutching her stomach and laughing. It was as if she were hypnotized by amusement. 


My eyes grew wide in fear as I whirled my  chair around to face my laptop. I adjusted my headphones and with trembling fingers and hastily muted myself. I listened to my class. Mr. Ram, are you telling me your sister does your homework for you? YOU ARE SUSPENDED FOR 1 MONTH. At least have some shame now" my teacher cried out leaving me dumbstruck and my mouth hanging open. 

That, dear diary is the story of the one click that led to my downfall. Two things I learnt today were: 

1) Never sleep during an online class. 

2) Make sure that a mischievous sister is not lingering around. 


(At present, my parents have grounded me for my whole life and bit me with only fruits and water for food for the whole month as my punishment.)

Love,

Ram
