Gotta be quick now. Gotta move. The slow-walkers are left back in the dust. Sorry but you guys are too slow! Ha Ha! I want to scream, I want to dance! Don't. Not now, wait until prom. Past the B buildings the great Leon darts like a speeding bullet. Quicker than the human eye. Oh, there it is! Nearly there, closing in. One, two, three....
"Oh, there you are. Here." A blue sheet of paper gets thrusted into my hand by HIM. I, I mean, Johnny gives me the guide as usual. Johnny West, bloody captain of the class. No, he's a good guy, mostly. Except for his overbloated ego and luck to ... no. Cool your jets Leon. He's not your rival here. He's your fellow student. A tall, perfectly shiny teethed, funny, confident genius of a fellow student. One who just happens to like to put his arm around Amy! No, keep calm. Hold it in. Like a real man, a polite man. Acting like a gentleman is the right thing to do. Ow! What the...
"Well, Leo?" Jenny asked. But what did she mean? Oh no, she wasn't talking was she? She looked annoyed, her nostrils flared, and her eyebrows twitched. I could clearly see her lip clipped under her teeth. She didn't look happy, she looked as though she was in her usual mood of impatience. I just hoped it wasn't going to spill out at me.
"Uh, I'm sorry, but ..." I began in my tone of mousiness, but was cut off by her long growl.
"Ughhhhh... Leo, wake up will ya? Your speech for tuesday. What's it gonna be?" Ah! Now that I knew. I had spent all night last Friday thinking about it. I had pegged it somewhere between the technological advancements of today and how they are killing the ways of life of the past, and if technological advancements in science fiction could ever be accomplished in reality and if so, how they might affect the government. Of course, I chose the latter. I was looking forward to bringing in a model of the TARDIS and showing how leaders could easily use it to create an insane form of governement like that of 1984. I smiled and opened my mouth to ingeniously explain it, when she turned her head and walked away.
"Oh Amy, thank god there's someone who read the assignment..." Well hey that's not.... Oh well, there's no need to fight her. I looked over to see her standing there. Her glittery jade eyes sparkle at me as I look her over. A cute pink blouse, a lovely black miniskirt, and that grin that seems to say ' Hi Leon, I fancy you, do you fancy me?' I certainly do Ms. Chen. Getting up I walk over to where Amy's being interrogated by Jenny and pull out my crumpled confession. I hide it like a secret plan for my eyes only. Should I ... could I? I should, It's about time I tell her how I feel ... but uh, maybe tomorrow will be better. Yeah. Today's not the right day. tomorrow will be much better. Or ....
