Chapter 30 - Break the silence

On reaching the classroom, Sammy found out that the teacher had already left the classroom and everyone else was waiting for him to return and explain how he managed to complete the project all by himself despite the obstacles.

Sammy, then without a word, walked in and sat down like nothing happened, and there was an awkward silence for a few moments. Nobody said anything to anyone.

Asing, not being able to stand this awkward silence, spoke first and said, "Say something." Sammy replied and said, "SOMETHING."

Asing confused said, "Not specifically something, I mean, say a word." Sammy then said, "A WORD."

Asing, annoyed, said, "Are you stupid or something? I mean to break the silence." Sammy then took the teacher's scale, where it was written "silence" on it, which was used to maintain the class in order, and broke it.

Asing, being completely frustrated, slammed on the desk in anger, and at the same time, the teacher also came back and scolded Asing for making commotion.

The teacher returned after going to the staff room to get some first aid for Sammy and treated him. After the teacher was done treating Sammy, he saw that the silence scale was broken and asked, "Who broke it?"

Sammy said, "I did it, sir." The teacher confused asked him, "Why would you do such a thing? Do you know how hard it is to find such a scale?"

Sammy replied, "Well, sir, ask that guy; I forgot his name. He told me to break it."

Asing, being shocked at the sudden accusation, said, "I said no such thing to him; he is lying, sir. You can ask others about the truth, and atleast remember my name it's Asing"

Although to Asing's surprise, everyone else said that he did say those words, and Sammy broke the silence scale under Asing's influence, and to his surprise, even his teammates supported Sammy on this.

The teacher punished Asing by letting him buy 10 more of the same scale by next week, or he would lose 10 marks in his internal score.

After the teacher left, Asing asked Hori and his other teammates, "Why did you lie about that?" Hori replied, "We didn't lie; I mean, if you recall, you did say 'break the silence.' Technically, we all are speaking the truth, except for you."

Asing understood what sammy did and gave up and decided never to mess with Sammy again.

Shon, on the other side of the team, asked Sammy, "How did you manage to complete the project all by yourself?"

Sammy then said, "Well, it was simple; we just needed to take the survey from the market."

Toping interrupted and said, "Yeah, and yesterday was Sunday, all the shops were closed. How did you manage to do it, and look, you even got our pictures along with the shop?"

Shon, supplementing Toping, asked, "We never took pictures together, so how did you manage to get our picture together?"

Sammy answered all of them by saying, "It's all Photoshop; I searched for our school's media page, and from there, I searched for all of your private accounts and found your pictures."

Although, if you look carefully, you will see that the Photoshop is not perfect, and there was a possibility of getting caught, so I intentionally fell down and got a nosebleed so that I can distract the teacher from the project while making him believe we already made the project so that we won't loss the marks.

Shon and Toping thought, "Is he actually a genius for pulling that trick, or just stupid?"
