I enter the class. I notice that I’m very late and that too again. The teacher asks me why are you late Mike? Sorry ma’am, actually I was stuck in the traffic, I apologize. No! Just get out of the class she snaps at me. You always make excuses and always come late. But ma’am, this time it’s the truth. No please don’t waste my time and go out quick! I move out with my head drooping down with shame. The whole class starts laughing at me. Silence please! She commands.
I stand outside till the class is over. Then I enter. Hey Mike! Why are you late everyday man, Drake giggles. No, nothing bro, it’s just due to the traffic. Traffic or something else? Ah sorry! We should say someone else, huh! They start teasing me. Drake, John and Lance are my good friends. But they tease me so much, saying who’s she, tell us man, why are so shy like touch me not plant. But I have never told them.
Only I know and now my friends you know, or God knows this secret, that why I’m late everyday. I meet her everyday, her, who is the most beautiful girl in the world. The girl with blue eyes, so deep, that I just drown in them whenever I see her. Her long black hair so adorable, that they hold me tight in their grip, and don’t let me free myself. I just want to stay with her always. Oh Annie! How gorgeous are you! Hey, are you lost somewhere? shouts Drake. Suddenly I check myself. No I’m here Drake, I’m here, I say like a lamb, so that they don’t grow suspicious. You are so silly Mike, sleeping in the class. Didn’t you have enough sleep at home? They start making fun of me. But I’m not embarrassed but rather happy that I have managed to keep it from them.
