What should I do now, sir? Both Adivitya and Abhinandan received the same grade and are the class leaders. Now, only one of the two can be assigned to the BSRO for a six-month project. Who do I choose? Vice Principal seemed to be confused. The Principal, though, was certain. Adivitya! he exclaimed. Where is the scepticism? He is our ADM madam’s son. Additionally, his father serves as an ADM in a different district. Go ahead and make the announcement now. However, the vice principal was not focused on tranquilly. He was not pleased at all with the head of his school’s reaction or demeanour. The father of Abhinandan was a teacher. A gifted youngster who excelled in arguments, discipline, and sports. Adivitya and Abhi, on the other hand, were close friends.
The ADM couple paid a visit to the school and were overjoyed with the outcome. Adivitya is the class’s top student, while Abhinandan is the second-place finisher, according to the principal. The husband and wife were unconcerned and paid little attention to the other name. Adivitya received hugs as they thanked the principal. The principal was pleased and said, “Madam, we need your help with the construction of our new building and bus services.” Madame reassured, and then the couple exited the room together. The Vice Principal was also relocating from there in the meantime. “Adivitya is the top dog,” he said as he dashed towards the couple. Another boy, though, is the best in every category. Abhinandan is his name. I cannot formally state.However, this is a fact. Even your son considers Abhi to be a wonderful buddy. The ADM couple, however, didn’t think highly of the statement and said, “Mr. Vice Principal. Avoid attempting to become a whistleblower. The reality is known to us.
Adivitya’s name was announced during the school event’s opening, and he was given the prize. Abhinandan afterwards received the distinction of second topper. Everything went smoothly. You are better than me, my buddy, Adivitya told Abhinandan as she offered her congratulations. I’m not deserving of this honour. The actual topping is you. Please accept it. Everyone was taken aback, including the school principal. However, ADM madam was enraged. Adivitya, though, was not at all anxious. Principal Sir, I’m correct, he murmured. I learned values from my teacher in class. Do not be alarmed by my folks, please. It is due to Abhinandan. View that board at the front desk. Both integrity and impartiality have definitions. Please repeat the award announcement and recognise my friend. And I’m sorry, Dad and Mom.”
