Dreams And Passion

OH OH!!!!!!! Trouble!!!!!!!!!!!!

The person I smacked right into was none other than Greg Johnson. Some may describe him as being a liar, cheater, bully and so on. Personally I would describe him as being a loser,cheat and a chicken who is not even sincere to his own parents.But also most girls put that aside since he is like the hottest guy in the school no one really cares about that.

"Hey. Are you still mad at me? You know that I keep on trying to explain my self but you won't let me. " he looks at me and says.

"Really you have a perfectly reasonable explanation for being seen with a another girl? You think that I am that dumb? Anyway I don not have time to talk to you know so please move out of the way and let me enter the class." I tell him quite angrily.

Did I forget to mention that he was my ex boyfriend? Why am forgetting everything today?

"You do know that we have Maths together right?" Greg asks me.

"Yes I do now please get out of my way." I tell him and he gets out of my way looking a bit hurt and of course though it should be me looking like someone stabbed me in the back considering what he did to me.

"You haven't gotten into class yet? What were you doing this whole time?" Alex asks looking at me quite quizzically.

I could not tell him that I was talking to Greg since Alex is pretty protective of me and would hate it if he saw that Greg was trying to talk to me again.

"Uh nothing. I was just thinking about things." I tell him.

"What's wrong? You have been zoning out quite a lot today." Alex asks me quite worriedly.

"No I'm OK." I assure him. Since we both are in the same class we both hurry into the class just as the bell rings. Thank god for that.Just then my class teacher comes into the class and starts to take attendance. Just as reaches my name she looks as as if she has just remembered something.

" Ananya you have prepared your speech haven't you?" she looks at me and asks.

"Speech?" I ask pretty puzzled.

"Yes the speech I asked you to prepare on the topic The Importance of Reading. you did do it didn't you?" she asks starting to look pretty scary and also angry.

I look at Alex expectantly in the slight hope that he had also remembered my speech but guessing by the look of hopelessness he is giving me I can say pretty confidently that he hasn't heard about the speech. Looks I have to get through this mess alone.

"Uh............. of course I remembered the speech. Actually when do I have to give this speech exactly?" Hoping that it's at the end of the day and by that time I can whip up something.

" You have to give it in exactly 5 minutes through the school speakers." She says thus dashing my every hope of whipping something up.

As I am walking to the office to deliver my speech I am trying to think about anything I know about reading but I can't remember anything. The clerk at the desk gives me the microphone to give me my speech and I still don't know the first word I am going to say.

"Uh....... good morning everybody. uh...... my name is Ananya.... I am in the 10th grade... uh..... Today I intend to tell all of you about...uh...the...uh...... importance of....uh..... reading.... reading is...uh......very important since it.....uh..... helps to develop our knowledge and all..uh..... we should keep reading.....uh........ books for fun and all.... that's all for......uh......my speech..... thank you all and have a great day..."

There is something really wrong with me I mean like seriously why am I so forgetful today. And I am also really embarrassed by the way I handled my speech... Anyway as I open the door of my classroom I can see giggles on the faces of everyone except Alex and Greg as I enter the classroom. Even My teacher can't seem to hide her laugh. Anyway the class starts by her asking everyone fr their homework. Thank God for Alex otherwise I would be standing outside plucking weeds.

Anyway after doing some problems the bell rings which is music to my ears.

"What exactly were you doing these days.I mean I know you and you are never that forgetful." Alex asks me.

"I uh........ just forgot to........uh............ do them all." Hoping that he does not realize that I am lying. If he found out that I had been to my cousins house he is going to kill me as he does nit like me going there.

" Wait a minute. You went to your cousins house didn't you? After all I told you not to go to still had to go didn't you. Well fine. I am not going to be your babysitter anymore." He tells me pretty pissed off and storms off dramatically away.

I want to go after him but it is no use. He will cool off in his own time. Until then I just have to wait out the storm.
