Beyond Control

The whole class stood up when Mrs Girija Maheswari walked in

By the time Neha stood up to greet the teacher, the rest of the class have already got seated after wishing the professor

"Why are you still standing Ms Bhatia. Don't waste my time. Sit down and open your books" Mrs Maheswari said placing the doll in a corner

The doll is really very ugly

Aren't dolls supposed to be pretty?? Neha wondered

The rumor is that Mrs Maheswari is childless and considers the doll as her child

She carries the doll everywhere she goes

The doll comes in different clothing on each day.

She had even heard that Mrs Maheswari dresses the doll in the university Jersey during any inter college festivals.

The doll is university's unofficial mascot

What kind of weird people does this university has

Neha stared at the doll and scrunched her nose

Even the Chucky doll looked prettier than this

What will Mrs Maheswari do if the doll goes missing

Neha grinned

She could kidnap it. Then ask for a ransom

That would be wonderful

A free period a week for one month. That would be the best ransom for the ugly doll.

And maybe she can give hints to some of her friends that it's she who kidnapped the doll

No proofs.. Only rumor

That would make her the college badass

Wow!! She can image herself getting down from her own new sports bike, all badgirl style and people parting away giving her way to walk in

Which motorcycle should she buy??

How about a Harley Davidson

She could name it Mozzarella.. Or maybe Margarita

"Neha Bhatia"

She could even appoint some girls from her class as her side chicks

"Neha Bhatia"

And they will fall over themselves to do whatever she wants

Neha sighed dreamily

"Neha Bhatia"

"Present Ma'am" Neha said raising her hand

Neha pulled a stop to her train of thoughts when a fire breathing dragon stood in front of her

Okay!! That might be an exaggeration. But hey, it came close

"This is not a place for day dreaming Ms Bhatia. If you find my class boring you can get out" The professor said

Neha sighed and packed her bag

She had always found Mrs Maheswari's classes boring and was tempted to walk out many times but always stopped thinking that would hurt her feelings

Now that Mrs Maheswari herself is giving the permission why should she sit here and bear with the boring class

She stood up with her bag all ready to walk out when she saw her classmates looking at her with disbelief
