In The Name Of Love Part 2

Hey guys!!

I promised it before, about my short story, and....hmmm...tadaa!!!

Sorry that you have to wait that long to read this....

I told my mom about the boys and with a certain look in her eyes, she said,

"Take it easy, honey. You don't have to care about that, if they really want you, they will do the same as your dad. Yeah, a rose a day. That will surely be the best thing in your life. I know, for some reasons, I know that will soon happen to you. Bear this in your mind, where there is great love, there are always miracles."

I nodded. Bewildered, I asked her,

"How long should I wait mom ? For a man like dad."

Mom remained speechless. There was only silence for an answer that I was all agog to know. Then, I pondered about my question,

'How mom will know ? Nobody knows. Right, only miracle can save me.'

"Hey, my name is Marcus Davenport. Can I talk to you for a second ?" ,

someone, out of nowhere asked me when I was packing my stuffs from the locker. He looked neat and smart, but, his face was unfamiliar...new student ?

"W...Who are you ? ",

I replied him after a while.

"I'm Marcus, I've told you that. Anyway, can I just go straight to the point ? ",

I nodded and he continued,

"I heard about you and your name. I just wanna know if that really your name or...",

He looked unsure whether to continue with his words or not, so, I said,

"I made it ? To avoid the boys ? No, not at all!",

I raised my voice a little louder. He seemed shocked with my answer - or it might be because my voice suddenly sounded louder. After a few minutes of silent, he said,

"Alright. So...now that I know the truth, can I be your friend ? I...please don't misunderstand, it...it just, hmm...I've tried to talk to you for a long time, but, each time I saw the other boys like being rejected by you...I...",

Promptly, he stopped talking, then, I nodded. He smiled meaningfully.

I could not hide my happiness anymore, I was on top of the world, on a cloud nine, in high spirit...yeah, well, like a strong mood of happiness anyone like me had ever felt when I heard those words coming out from his mouth. Marcus might be the first boy who wanted to know the explanation of why my name was my name. He was a far cry from the other boys, he was one of a kind! Usually, my conversations with the other boys went like...

"Hey, my name is _____and you ?",

with an awkward smile, I would say,

"I am Taken",

then I would get a reply,

"ah..."

and that was the end.

However, for Marcus even when this was not a-rose-a-day thing, it was more than enough.

I was happy to know someone like him and had a name like my name.

What is my name ? I am Taken.

Yeah, I am taken by Marcus.

.......THE END......

Hmm....this is my short message for my teacher when I asked him to mark this essay, I would like to share it :

" Dear sir,

This story actually need more than 4 pages when I first wrote it. Then, I wrote it again - in a short way - and my ideas...urgghhhh - you know when we make the same story twice in a different way, it will never be the same, right ?

I hope you get the main idea of this - that will be enough and...do give me a few tips to make it more interesting. "

Inspired by : Button badge : I am____

Original idea, by : Me

My teacher gave me almost perfect score, I was glad that he gave me marks that I never thought I deserved. My English might be broken, but, trust me, I'm gonna work harder after this.

To all my friends, thank you.

Thank you that you guys put your trust in me and let me check your essays even when I'm not that good. And I think I will not work that hard if you guys don't do such things. Hehe. I'll work hard, so that I can help and share it with you guys.
