Help! I'm In Love With A Liar

The next day at the coaching we were proudly narrating to Wang and John, the whole saga of the revenge. We entered the classroom and were about five minutes late when Mrs. Feng had already begun to explain a new topic, the relation between demand and supply in an economy. So, I thought of pleading her to repeat the last five minutes of her lecture, for better understanding of the topic.

"Excuse me madam!" I stood up and appealed, "Can you please repeat the concept of demand and supply from the beginning. We missed some part of the lecture."

Mrs. Feng stared at me angrily and yelled "you want me to repeat the entire concept of supply and demand which I taught in the previous lecture!"

I failed to understand her words. Without a second thought I asserted "no madam! The pervious lecture was on Monopoly."

Mrs. Feng gave me another incandescent look. "Just because you failed to attend my last lecture doesn't give you any such special privilege to know what you missed."

"But mam, I didn't miss even a single lecture of yours. I think you are mistaken," I protested.

Mrs. Feng's face was turning red from exasperation.

"Cecilia! Let me remind you, you and your friends were not present in my previous lecture. You should be thankful that I did not complain to your hostel warden regarding this," shrieked Mrs. Feng.

I was even more perplexed and before I could say any other word in my defense, I felt a sharp tug on my back which literally made me fall back on my seat. I turned back and realized it was Wang who had pulled me back.

Meanwhile Mrs. Feng, still in a bad mood had continued teaching supply and demand relation.

"Will you just control yourself? She isn't crazy, she is right. We did miss the last lecture. It wasn't an off. I lied to you, so that you would go out with us," he said trying to suppress his laughter.

I looked at him wide mouthed not believing my ears. Did I just skip a lecture for the first time in my life and as if that was not enough I even questioned a teacher about it in full confidence. In just few seconds a million thoughts occurred to my mind. I shuddered at the thought that I could have been expelled, if Mrs. Feng would have inquired about me from the "lady Hitler".

I suddenly regained my senses, when I realized all four of them were laughing hysterically at me. After a few seconds I myself couldn't help but laugh off at the whole scenario.
