am I evil? (click to read more)

Dear Benchmate,

 

We’ve not been in touch for the past 7 years. But I think you deserve to know a few of the things which happened when we were in school.

Please note- many of these confessions may come as a surprise to you, but believe me- I acted as an evil and it made me so happy.

It all started when on my first day of school you called me ‘cry baby’. Specifically ‘Rotlu’. We were in 5th then. I was new to the town. I had no friends.

After this incident, for the next 5 years- I was called ‘Rotlu’ by everyone in the school. That day, after school, I complained about you to papa and maa. They taught me to take revenge.

Though, in the principal's cabin, when we found out that we stay in the same society. We were asked to be benchmate for the rest of the time. I was forced to forgive you. Guess what, I never did.

 

So, here are some revelations-

One. Remember, when 1 day you were not feeling well and you did not come to school and on the next day, everyone started to call you ‘Shitty pants’? It was me, I started this rumor.

I felt so good that I wanted to do it again. But I did not.

OK. Not until you triggered me.

 

Two. After Diwali, everyone was flaunting their gifts and sweets in tiffin boxes. Suddenly, one day you hit Rama for his sweets and you threw his water bottle in the gutter. I felt something was not right. Next day, I put salt in your water bottle. When you threw up in front of everyone, I again felt so good and alive. I felt like I was a savior for weak kids.

Three. On another day in 7th standard, when exams were near and you tore up the homework book of Rahul. He could not submit it to the teacher. He was asked to call his parents to the school. After the incident, he did not come to school for 2 days. God knows what happened. Later during the exam, you failed in Maths. Teachers were not able to find your answer sheet. Guess what? I sneaked into the teachers room, and I tore your answer sheet. Though, later you were asked to appear for the exam again.

You know, I felt like Ramanujan from Aparijit. I was so happy after doing all this.

Four. On a school trip, when everyone went to take a bath; your spare underwear too was wet. I did it. Because I liked Rachna ma'am, and in the bus, you threw water on her seat. Everyone was laughing at her and she was so embarrassed.

There are few other things too. However, this much is enough for this time. We have not been in touch for the past 7 years. I am glad though.

See, I never felt bad or guilty about the stuff I did. You were a jerk back then, I decided to step up and teach you a lesson. Every time.

Papa and your dad were good friends. I’ll ask papa about you and your family tonight. Hope he’s in touch with your dad. I must send this letter personally to you.

 

With fake love,
