Chapter 10
The next day evening,everyone met each other at The SKARS meeting table.Sujal asked”Now we have collected all 4 metals but what to do with it?” I said”Good question.Mmm…. Let me think. Aha!We can ask our teacher.” Ritvik said”We can’t keep asking her like that; she may smell something fishy and call our parents” I said”You are very much right Ritvik but we are doing this for our school,right?So we need to.” “Yeah.Ok.But we need luck,mam might not be at the school right now,And if it is so then we need to know where she resides.” “The faster,the better.” We sat on our bicycles and started cycling as fast as we could.When we reached our school,we saw nobody. I said”She might be in the room! Let’s go.” We ran up the big flight of stairs and went to our class.We were standing outside peeking through our class door.Ms Chirangi was sitting quietly in the far end corner of our class,rifling through some pages.I whispered”You all stay quiet,I will go in.Ok?” They all nodded their heads. I slowly and steadily,opened the door and went in.I said”Hi,Mam!” “Oh!Hi Kiaan! What are you doing at this time?” “Mam,I am so sorry to disturb you from time to time but it is important.” “No worries!” “Ok.So,mam you are such an avid reader..have you read or come across any Egyptian book about curses? Mmm, .after a long pause she said no...but why do you want to know Kiaan...she looked at me with her big round eyes?“well me n my friends are stuck into something very serious and we have to get into the core of it.And we will tell you the details once we solve it.Chirangi miss said" okay" I have a contact of a librarian who owns a big library which has a wide collection of Egyptian books.Might be you can get help from there.” “That would be nice.Thanks once again for everything.” “No problem.I will call her” She dialed her number and called her.My friends were staring in amazement,listening to everything I spoke(I think now they have understood my brilliance in acting and in how trustworthy I am). She started speaking”Hey Angelica!How are you?Oh great!I will be needing some favor.”After 5 mins talking to her, Ms Chirangi said to me”Kiaan,her library is closed but she will open it again at 9:00 A.M.tomorrow.So, is 9:00 A.M. a comfortable time?I have kept her on hold.” “Yes yes.It is a comfortable time.Thanks mam.Bye!” Just then Ritvik bursted out laughing. Ms Chirangi’s eyes went wide.She said”Who was that,Kiaan?” “Mmm… Mam,it is Ritvik.” “So you had kept them hidden for so long.Is anybody else there?” “Yes mam.My whole group is here.” “Call them in.” I went near the door and said”Come in all.” They all came in.Ritvik was laughing loudly. Ms Chirangi said”Why are you laughing Ritvik?” “Hahahaha!Mam,haha,you said she will open hahaha!the library at 900 A.M..Hahahaha!” “So what?” “9:00 A.M. on Saturday and Kiaan said it is a comfortable time!Hahahahahaha!” “ Listening to that,Ritvik stopped laughing and the rest all started laughing. Ms Chirangi said”What's the matter ? Ritvik said, Ma'am , Kiaan doesn't get up from bed before 11a m on Saturdays!! Listening to this, I frowned at everyone and sheepishly smiled at Ma’am. We said Good Night to her and left for our homes. On the way we planned to meet at 8:45 am the next day.
