My first encounter with fear

It was a time when i was giving my semester exam of HSC.A college peon came in examination hall and called me. i was quite astonished and started thinking why he called by name .No sooner i went out of exam hall i asked peon what has happened and why did he called me.The peon replied there was a fire cracker which was busted in gents washroom i am suspected for placing those fire crackers.

Hearing this i was completely shocked.I asked the reason to my college peon that on what basis they are suspecting me .The peon replied "I don't know i have just been told to call and present u in front of Principal " .When i went over there i saw 4-5 students standing outside principal cabin where discussing about the same then i came to know that they were also suspected in the same case as of mine.

we all were called one by one in principal cabin she told me that they have fingerprint of person who placed firecracker in college & If fingerprint is verified as mine then they will debarred me from the college.This words made me completely shocked.Although i had not done any crime my mind started thinking much faster then my heart beats about what will happen if i am being found guilty. Suddenly i came to know that all my friends who were being called were told the same thing and then somehow i heaved a sigh of relief when a friend came and told me that actually they don't have any proof as such.It was actually a way by which they feared us so that a person who placed firecracker will admit his crime.Eventually after few hrs they told us to go home as they where not able to trace any culprit for that.

After few days i came to know the reason for them to suspect us and it was quite silly reason when they state that  "On the day of exam you reached late in exam hall so you where suspected"  Hearing this i started laughing like anything.
