Star-struck

Shilpi: Gimme your English notebook. Quick! Couldn't do my homework. How much time's there?
Alka: Five min!
Shilpi: My God!

Ten min later...

Shilpi: Phew! Just completed!
Alka: [Thinking] What shabby handwriting! You get 'FAIR'. I get three stars. Wow!

Teacher [Gasping]: Sorry, got late. We'll directly begin our lesson. No homework-correction for today!

Thanks Rajat for inputs!

    lol :) It would have been even worse if Shilpi had better handwriting than Alka ;)

    55ers are addictive, I am sure more will follow this one Ketan :)

    Yeah, but that'd have meant tragedy only for Alka, but this meant anticlimax for Shilpi also. TC.

    More 55ers are likely to follow, but not very frequently. Just wanted to challenge myself as I tend to write very lengthy sentences. This is seriously not my kind of fiction. Do you come back and read the replies to your comments?

    BTW, Shilpi's handwriting turned out bad because she was completing her work in a hurry. I thought that should've been pretty clear to the reader :( How much could be included in 55 words.

Well-articulated disagreement would be a very good indicator that I was understood, and would be appreciated more than perfunctory agreement or praise. But of course, you could agree and praise...
