School's Exam

Purnit and Karan were best friends since childhood. They both studied together from nursery to 11th standard. Throughout their childhood, both were weak in studying but excelled in sports. Purnit was the school football captain, and Karan was the district badminton champion. They were both busy with tournaments, leaving them with little time to study.


As the whole year passed by, they didn't realize that their final exams were only 10 days away. It was crucial for both of them to pass the exams because if they failed, their parents would make them quit all sports. Purnit and Karan tried hard to study, but their minds were not focused, and they felt irritated and scared about failing the exams.


Nine days had passed, and their conditions hadn't improved. The next day would be the exam, and neither Purnit nor Karan had learned anything. Then, an idea came to Purnit, and he called Karan to discuss it. Purnit said, "I have one idea, but it's very risky, and we have no other choice if we want to pass tomorrow's exam. The school principal's son, Yogesh, is my good friend. Tonight, I'll ask Yogesh to give us the keys to his mother's office."


Yogesh agreed to help them as a friend and threw the office keys onto Purnit's balcony. Purnit and Karan devised a simple plan. They knew that one day before the exam, the question paper would be in the principal's office. They decided to find the paper, copy the questions, and return home.


However, they were unaware of the risks involved in their plan. As they entered the school by jumping over the wall, it looked eerie in the dark night. They found the school guard patrolling and managed to hide themselves to reach the principal's office. Purnit used the keys to open the office, but suddenly, Karan felt a cold draft on his neck. When he turned to look, he thought he saw someone standing at the end of the corridor, watching them. But when they both looked again, there was no one there.


Ignoring the eerie feeling, they entered the office and found t

he question paper. As they were copying the questions, one of the almirahs in the office opened by itself, scaring them. Despite the strange occurrences, they focused on copying the questions until they heard a knock on the door. They panicked, thinking Yogesh had informed the principal, and hid under the principal's desk.


The knocking on the door became intense, and they feared that they would be caught. But suddenly, the knocking stopped, and the door slowly opened. However, to their surprise, there was no one behind the door. Confused and frightened, they managed to collect as much as they could and hurriedly ran out of the room. Unfortunately, they tripped over something and fell, and Karan's nose started bleeding.


As they tried to get up, they saw a horrifying sight - a man dressed in the school uniform, with a pale white face and pure white eyes, stood before them. Purnit screamed, and before they could react, the horrifying man struck Purnit on the head with a wiper, causing him to fall unconscious. Then, the man disappeared.


The next morning, the guard found the two unconscious boys, and the news spread like wildfire. The exam was canceled, and the principal got to know about Purnit and Karan's actions. They woke up in the evening and immediately went to tell the principal what happened that night. However, the principal dismissed their claims, saying there were no ghosts or spirits in the school.


The principal punished Purnit and Karan, making them repeat the 11th standard. But Purnit and Karan could never forget what happened that day, and they told everyone about it, only to be met with disbelief and laughter. Then, an old school guard revealed that a worker had died in that classroom 20 years ago while cleaning it. The principal's office had been constructed on the same spot after the worker's death, and no one had seen the worker's ghost since then.


After hearing the guard's story, Purnit and Karan were terrified, and they stubbornly insisted on leaving the school.
