It sneaked into my thoughts and I could think of nothing else..I could hardly wait to put it into writing. It burned in my chest like a broken heart, suddenly there were butterflies in my stomach..reminding me of my first date so long ago.
So good was the Idea that I wanted to scream it out loud..but I knew such an unwelcomed action would only earn me hostile looks from Jessica and Zam my immediate neighbors,not to mention the teacher..so I held it inside.My hands were now aching with the desire to put it into writing, and I kept looking at the clock willing it to move faster.
As soon as the chime sounded, I grabbed my bag and started running only for the teacher to call me back asking me to lead the class in a closing prayer.I rushed through the prayer, and murmured a half- hearted 'shitsurei shimasu' accompanied by what can hardly be described as a bow and rushed out.
I sat down took out my small laptop excitedly then I suddenly stopped.I had forgotten what I wanted to write.The stream of ideas in my head had died,the burning in my chest was no more,even the butterflies in my stomach had been replaced by what I could positively identify as pangs of hunger.
I pushed back the comp into my bag headed off to chapel doubting my sanity all the way
