Our college gives out distinction certificates for those with SGPAs above 80%. My friend had no place for his certificate and I had to keep it with me in my bag. But we didn't meet after that till our next set of exams. On the last exam, we had planned to meet so I could give him his certificate.  I had texted him before the exam asking him to come to where I was camped out. I finished my paper early and was leaving. I met another friend and got to paper discussion, that's when I thought I saw my friend in another classroom. I asked the teacher supervising the hall(invidulating?) and asked her to give the certificate to the person I thought was my friend. My other friend with me didn't realise the mistake either. 

I wasn't in a rush to get home or anything but I had worl to do that wasnt uber urgent either. I thought I'd get it over with. In a bit I got a lift back home and 1KM in, I got a call and turns out my friend was looking for me. I told him where I gave the cert over and asked him to check. I asked if he needed me to come back. He said yes so I walked back, oppologising profusely. Once he/we got there, there was noone and all the faculty offices were empty.  Everything was locked and no sign. 

We tried asking around for a lost property thing and our college has none. Fuck them. We went to the Exam Controller office that handles paper correction with the respective faculty(for malpractice etc). And we waited for an hour for help. No one helped and I told my friend that he could leave and I'd handle it. He told me it's fine cause he's a KM away. He said we'd have to meet anyway to get it from me. And we were both heading out of town soon. I dropped hints that they may charge to replace certificates, or that we could meet the department head and see what could be done. Eventually we left cause there was no point and we both had places to be. I was oppologising through all this while he was trying to downplay it all, saying "it's okay. That cert isnt the most importa,t" It isn't, but it has worth.


He wasn't mad at me to the highest sense either and we also tried to make plans to go for aovie(Into the Spider Verse) the plans failed cause of packing and my cousins coming over.



So AITA?
