Why not being reckless from time to time!

It's already 8:30 a.m. and only 15 minutes left for the beginning of the first class! But the four of them just reached to their destination. Well, destination isn't the classroom but the white wall that is the partition between the school premises and outside area.

Rosa is sitting on the top of the wall,jumping over the bricks. Below the wall,on the ground,Ele stood,not actually stood but half sat,on Ele, Rae and on the back of Rae, Haze stood up so that her hands can touch the hands of Rosa to cross over the wall. Being the only athletic girl in the squad, Rosa took and takes responsibility to implement any type of adventure. At the end, Ele was left to cross; though she's the shortie here.

-"Jump,Ele! Jump! We're running late!"

-"The hell! Only I'm left! Well, wait! God,please save me! Ele jumped and unexpectedly could reach to Rosa at one go!

Luckily, these four rame teens made it outside the school premise without any extra barriers!

-"There he is! Rae shouted,standing in the middle of the road.

Haze and Rosa rushed to him pulling Ele's hand.

It has been almost a year since they visited their favoruite ice-cream stall. A man in his mid-forties,bald and straight faced with a height of approximately 167cm, is standing with his ice-cream van under the big oak tree.

-"Hey, Mr. Ice-cream uncle!" Rosa waved to him. His face seemed to be enlightened as he saw this rame group. He doesn't get any customer most of the days in a month but somehow he has got four permanent customers and considers them as his achievement! Nobody likes his special ice-cream flavour i.e. the butter flavour whereas they have turned this into a cardinal point for them . So significant that they can even escape school for it!

-"Four honey-butters?!" He said as if he was about to prepare it without their nods.

-"You still remembered us!" Haze exclaimed with wonder.

-"Ofcourse,my permanent customers!" he smirked to them, "Take it, I guess it's schooltime", that he's rushing to send them as soon as possible,is clear through his voice.

-" Not an issue,you may take your time", Ele said smiling.

Actually it was only those four bewildering teens who discovered this flavour and none beside them knows the reason of existence of this unique flavour! He used to sell only butter flavoured ice-cream which tasted quite bland. So they decided to test the taste of it with a mild flow of honey on the top and undoubtedly became a fan of this! Surprisingly, he doesn't even want to try to sell this amazing flavour cause it doesn't include his creativity!

-"Wait! How many years it already had been?" Looking at the sky, Haze heaved a sigh. Others also looked at the sky and an awkward silence remained for a while.

-"Oh,you again!" Ele shouted as Rosa put ice-cream on her soothing cheeks.

Rae and Haze followed Rosa and all of the four started laughing to their hearts' content.

The silent and calm breeze was one of the reasons to keep them away from going back to the school, more like a jail!

Haze checked her watch,"Yall!!! It's already time for the 2nd class!"

-"Holyshit! Just run now!" Rae cried out but didn't forget to shove the rest part of ice-cream inside her mouth all at once.

-"I just hope none counts today...God! Please!" Rae is somehow tensed this time.

But unbelievably, Ele seemed too much carefree whereas she's the one who freaks the most whenever they're out for any adventure!

-"Whatever, let's just enjoy this day!" Everyone looked straight at Ele as soon as she finished her sentence.

Within 5 minutes,they managed to enter the classroom. As an expert in bunking,they took their seats as if they just came back from washroom!

-"Where were you during 1st class?" Jamsy Clara was panting with some papers in her hands.

-"Why? Was anyone looking for any of us? We..", this time a mild sign of fright became clear on Ele's face. She couldn't even make up the story. Usually she never faces this type of instant situation, though tries to prepared in every adventure.

-"Ms. Sherrnia looked for you," Jamsy was in rush,so she just left then.

-"OMG! What might it be?" Rae said in a freaky voice.

-"We can think about it later. Now find excuses", Haze is tensed too.

-"How about telling that we were in parade ground guiding juniors' drill? Rosa seemed to be proud with her idea. But others look mad as it is clear to them how wrong she is!

-"And you think staff and drill instructors won't report the fact?" Rae shooted a look at Rosa.

-"Then what about hospital?" Haze suggested.

-"It's not safe either",Rae said while thinking of other possible excuses.

-"Hey,Ele! Ele!" Rosa called out but she seemed not to be present there mentally. She was thinking something deeply.

-"Ele!" She said loudlier this time and Ele looked up at her.

-"I've already found the way. The new Economics teacher is on leave now. I just remembered. So we'll say,we didn't know she was on leave and was looking for her. As other teachers of the department wasn't there,we couldn't even know. How about this?" Ele finally stopped.

-"Wow! Perfecto!" Haze showed a thumb-up at her and four of them slapped each other's palm. More like a high-five, but not actually high-five.

******************************************

Ms. Sherrnia wasn't inside her department. The more moments were passing, the more Rae's heart was pounding. Haze and Rosa tried to think positively but seemed like they couldn't. And none could understand what the hell was going inside Ele's head.

Finally they found Ms. Sherrnia at the exam controlling room. Trembling in fear,but still trying to stay normal,Haze took the initial step toward Ms. Sherrnia to report that "WE ARE PRESENT", more like " We didn't get lost anywhere".

But Haze hadn't have to report. Before that,she called out.

-"Wow! Perfect timing! You four have come together?" she seemed so carefree.

"Don't say she already knows the truth!" Rosa whispered so that none besides them could hear.

"Seemingly happened so", Haze too whispered.

" That means we're so dead!" Rae said clenching her teeth.

-"Sorry maam,for being late.Actually....

-"No,no! Not a issue. Actually I'm sorry to call you in middle of your class." she apologised stopping Ele in the middle of her words.

Needless to say,they got so shocked that their jaw dropped right at that moment.

-"Well,the thing is,I checked the marksheet of previous class test thrice but couldn't connect the dots about how only four of you got ZERO out of 56 students of your class!" her frustration over this matter was clear on her expression.

-"Oh,maam! Actually we were out for 'Computing contest' during that test and couldn't attend later on", Rae is explained on their behalf.

-"And sorry maam, we also forgot to remind you of retaking the test." Haze added.

-"Okay,okay! Nothing serious. You may leave now. Be attentive in class", finally she smiled again.

-"Yes,maam. Thank you for being so understanding", Ele said while leaving, whatever other three clearly understood the sarcasm in that very *thanks.

Finally the REH heaved a sigh of relief*!
