One week passed quickly, with the kids going for all kinds of classes, music, knitting, tuitions, etc. Everyday was a hectic day. And having answered all the tests, came the day which was most feared, ''The report day''. The parents came and saw all the scores and ended with a short parent-teacher talk that was totally not that needed. It was a bit awkward for the child to just stand there, while your parents are asking questions that make your heart skip quite a few beats. But, fortunately the parents weren't all that into meating with the teachers. Instead the kids got their own phones when they got into middle school. The school had an app, it showed attendance, syllabus, but most importantly the result. Having kept their punishment in mind, they opened their results. And Lo and behold! Not one kid got straight A's. Nikkil got B in math, Ayesha B+ in Science and Yashasna and Ayush B- in Math. They cried for they knew they would soon be squatting their way to what they thought of and called 'Hell at Home' . They knew they messed up and couldn't turn away from their misery.
