As the class slowly approached its close, Sammy intensely glared at the clock, his eyes fixed on the ticking hand as each passing second seemed to drag on forever.
The awaited moment didn't seem to be approaching for Sammy, and he lost his patience. He couldn't hold it any longer and asked the Economics teacher if he could go to the washroom.
Although the teacher refused to let him go, saying, "Be economic and use the time in an economic manner; we only have 10 minutes left for break. Hold it and serve the class in the meantime by attending and listening to my lecture."
Sammy, on the other hand, was stubborn as well and said, "Sir, I understand the importance of being economical with time, but I think you forgot to apply the concept of opportunity cost to my situation.
Holding my bladder for 10 minutes might seem like a good use of time to you, but it's resulting in a high cost to my personal comfort and hygiene.
Perhaps next time, you could consider the human capital aspect and prioritize your students' well-being over a few extra minutes of lecture time?"
The teacher, who thought Sammy wasn't paying attention in class, was impressed by how much he actually knew about the subject and was also embarrassed by how he humiliated him with his own subject. To save face, the teacher had no choice but to let him go.
Sammy, without looking back, dashed towards the washroom at light speed. As he was on his way, he wasn't running but literally flying because his legs were on air more than the ground, like Krish.
In the urgency of the situation, Sammy triggered an adrenaline rush. For those who don't know what an adrenaline rush is, it's a physiological response to a threatening or exciting situation that occurs when the body releases the hormone adrenaline into the bloodstream, thus giving the person temporary supernatural strength.
Who would have expected Sammy to trigger an adrenaline rush for going to the washroom!
Although, to his misfortune, he saw Hina standing on the way to the washroom, and because of their earlier incident, he didn't want to cross paths with her.
Sammy, under the influence of the adrenaline rush, was running 130 KM/h and after noticing Hina from a distance, he hit an emergency brake, but due to inertia, he started sliding forward hard on the ground, and because of the friction, his shoes started to catch fire.
Sammy then applied a force in the opposite direction by grabbing onto a nearby pole, thus making a hard stop, but to his misfortune, one of his shoes slipped right out from his leg and continued to move forward to hit Hina right on one side of her face knocking half of her 20 kg makeup.
Sammy, after realizing what had happened, was scared beyond measures, so before Hina could turn around to see who did it, he, under the influence of the adrenaline rush, escaped the scene in an instant.
As much as he hated to, Sammy had no choice but to return to the class without hitting the washroom because of the unfortunate circumstances.
As he returned to the class, the teacher wondered how quickly he came back and asked if he actually went to the washroom or just strolled out.
Since Sammy had humiliated the teacher earlier, he didn't want to let the teacher know that he just returned before reaching the washroom.
Sammy then acted like he already went to the washroom and went back to his seat, trying not to show how much he still wanted to go to the washroom.
Finally, after waiting inside the class the awaited moment reached and the bell rang, the teacher dismissed the class, and the moment was for break.
Sammy hurriedly packed his bag and rushed towards the urinal, and on reaching, he finally let go of the Nile River he was holding for so long, like Victoria Falls.
