The school's football team was practicing for the upcoming tournament. The coach had all the players on their heels. This was probably the reason why the school always won the championships.
When Sameer played, his mind was a little diverted. And his coach figured it out. The coach never excused anyone for deterioration in the hard-work that is put in the game. So the coach asked Sameer to stay back half an hour after practice and sort all the sports equipments.
While re arranging the sports room, he heard a sound coming from the first floor, that is, the floor above where he was. It felt like something heavy fell with a loud thump. Assuming that it was his imagination, he continued to sort the last of the basketballs and the footballs.
Just as he was about to finish and pack up, he thought he heard some movement like something heavy was being dragged across the floor. He was scared at first. He wanted to inform some authority, but his coach had left 15 minutes ago asking him to close up.
Sameer had no choice but to go and check if something was wrong. He knew that no one went to the higher floors at this time of the day.
As he made his way up the first flight of stairs, he figured that there were no lights on that floor. Just as he was reaching the end of the second flight of stairs leading to the first floor, he simultaneously began to frantically search for his cell phone to use its torch feature.
In all this confusion, he couldn't see something lying on the ground and tripped over it. He fell face first on the ground and the first thing that he thought was why was the ground wet. Subconsciously, he ran his right hand across his face to wipe the water off his face. He got up and started looking for what had he tripped over.
What he saw had shocked him beyond measure. It wasn't a sack as he had assumed. It was a girl- a girl from his school, his class. She was lying there unconscious in a pool of her own blood.
Something suddenly struck him and he looked at his hand. That is when he realized that he hadn't slipped on a sack or spilt water, he had, rather, fallen over an unconscious body and her blood.
As soon as he recovered from his shock, he ran towards the gate and informed the watchmen. He, simultaneously, called the ambulance on his cell phone.
