Chapter 23 - who he is ?

Arya: No, it's nothing like that. I'm leaving now, I need to study for the exam.

Zohan: Are you sure everything is okay?

Arya: Yes, really, everything is fine. You should go too, don't you have to study? So, go.

Zohan: Alright, you go ahead. I'm leaving too. Take care of yourself, okay?

(Arya turns around, opens the door, and goes inside.)

Zohan: (Waiting there until she goes inside) Something has definitely happened to her... no, no, that can't be it.

(Zohan quickly heads towards his house. While on his way, he spots the Principal talking to someone. Zohan quietly approaches to eavesdrop on their conversation.)

Principal (to the other man): Are you crazy? Can't you do anything right? It was my mistake giving you this job. Now I'll have to do it myself.

(The Principal notices Zohan)

Principal: You... Zohan? What are you doing here? You shouldn't be eavesdropping like this! (Speaking with a mix of nervousness and anger)

Zohan: Sorry, Sir. But what were you talking about? (Looking at him suspiciously)

Principal: (Taking a deep breath) No, it's not what you think. I was just scolding him because the school bathrooms aren't fixed yet.

Zohan: How do you know what I'm thinking, Sir? (Zohan grows more suspicious)

Principal: (Trying to change the subject) I was just saying... don't you have exams? Shouldn't you be studying? Go home.

Zohan: Yes, alright Sir, I'm going. (To himself) I need to get home for now, I'll look into this later.

(Zohan leaves for home)

Principal: (Sighs in relief) Good thing he left. (To the other man) Are you still standing here? Get out of here. Contact me later—we can't meet in public like this, we'll have to talk over the phone.
