Now, I don't know if you are familiar with this word "bunk". In fact, it is used very frequently both in Pakistan and India. It's origin is British but I guess the British no longer use it. It used to be a slang word in old British English but it is still in use as a slang word here both in Pakistan and India.
If somebody says, "John bunked his chemistry class, yesterday."
It means that John was at school/college/university but he was goofing around somewhere else when he was supposed to be taking the class.
So when you are supposed to be in your class and you don't take it, rather you hang out with friends outside your classroom doing unnecessary things, like spending time in the canteen, gossiping with friends, using internet aimlessly at the computer lab and stuff like that.
"John bunked his chemistry class and hung out with Stacy in the lawn."
"Don't worry, I will bunk my English class and help you with the assignment"
