"How large?"
"Please Olive, I would rather not talk about it. It's embarrassing as it is."
"A good 14 inch, seeing your blush."
"Next time I pull down his pants, I will make sure to measure it with a ruler."
Last week all we discussed was Senthil not looking at me, this week all we discussed was Senthil what-I-looked-at.
Senthil didn't appear in the school for the rest of the week. But Radha Aunty came to visit me. Senthil had told his mom that I didn't like his teaching. She came to ask me for another chance for her son. It's not like I didn't like what I saw, so I said we could start on Monday. But one thing was sure, he is never going commando on me ever again.
Senthil came to school on Monday, he avoided looking at me with more vigor. I didn't know such a thing was even possible. The first class on Monday was PT. The class groaned audibly when Senthil informed Mohan Sir will be taking it.
Turns out in PT girls usually sit in groups and gossip, boys are left to do whatever Y-chromosomes do. But Mohan Sir, it transpired, took physical training seriously. He made the whole class lap the ground twice.
Most girls fainted or fake-fainted. I was the only girl who seemed to have survived the ordeal unscathed. Then he made us play volleyball. Again I was the only one who served the ball or hit it when passed to me, all others ran shrieking as though they were being shot when the ball headed in their direction.
"Are you a volleyball player?" asked Mohan Sir.
"Yes sir, I played on my school team."
"If you are interested you can join weekly training, but there is no other female player in our school. We can club with other rural schools in case of competition, there are 3 more players like you."
"Sure I will join."
He looked extremely happy as he said, "We just need to find 2 more to form a team."
You think having PT as the first thing in the morning is good and it will take the Monday blues away. Wrong!
Facts:
1. South India has no winter: Yes! Just like Olaf's wish, it's always summer. There is no winter or spring or fall. You get sun in summer, you get sun + rain in winter, no cross that. Its called monsoon season. People here refer monsoon as winter, they have no idea how cold winter can be. "Winter is coming" is almost a joke here, apparently they all like rain.
2. Coldest temperature never drops below 20 degrees: Didn't I already explain in point 1 there is no winter here, the usual temperature in Valayapatti is 38 degrees! Today it was 42 degrees!
3. Human males sweat: If I must confess, human females also sweat. But except for me, all females in question have avoided physical activity except when they had to run away from the ball. Trust me, I tried to explain that we are not playing dodgeball, but they didn't believe me.
4. There is no F-ing shower room: We didn't even have a locker, forget the hell about having a shower room. We didn't have separate gym clothes. We ran and played in our uniform and we wore the same sweaty smelly dress for the rest of the day.
For maths heads -
Theorem statement: In a pt-angled-class, the total square of stink is equal to the sum of squares of the other two stinks (Male + Female).
For physics heads -
Newton's law of stink: The total stink in a class will not change its motion unless a force (PT class) acts on it.
For dunderheads like Aarav -
Imagine how much you would sweat lapping the ground twice, now try doing it under the hot sun. How much you will stink if you didn't change for the whole day. Now multiply that by 45! And keep all the stink contained inside a classroom.
Conclusion: Monday stinks! No matter what.
Hence proved.
