Part 7 : The confession ( Part 2 )Thursday was the longest day of the week , While lessons on others days ended at 1pm , Thursdays dragged on till 2.30pm , leaving me worn out by the end of the day . Reflecting on the obstacles in my dream , having a longer duration in school would higher the chance that my plan would be successful . At the half an hour interval during Math's lesson , I turned to Torrence , palms sweaty and legs trembling , mustering sufficient strenght and said , " I had a peculiar dream the night before , and it left me brooding over it , contemplating why i had that dream . ". " No wonder you were like an empty shell yesterday . You didn't repond when I talked to you . ", snapped Torrence . " To make up for it , why don't you share your dream with me ? " , she suggested . It then occured to me that a priceless opportunity had revealed itself . " Why not ? " , I replied with a grin in my heart .
" In the dream , I was trying to confess to a girl , someone who I adored greatly . But everytime I get to the point of confessing , an obstacle would present itself . " , I said . " How sad , but did u ever get to telling her ? " , asked Torrence . " Nope , but i am hoping to do it now . ", I replied . I was now looking straight at her , feeling as nervous and insecure in my dream , with my heartbeat now thundering in my chest , which was hot and stuffy by now , I muttered " Torrence i really like you , will you go out with me ? " . Immediately , I felt like a great weight had been lifted off my shoulders . My heart and mind was synchronised in jubilation ."No" , replied Torrence . I snapped back to reality , realising I had been rejected . " I'm sorry Samuel , can we remain as friends ? " , said Torrence . I could clearly hear the crumbling sounds of my heart . It was not an answer I had expected , in fact I had only thought of confessing , never did I bring rejection into the picture . " Er .... okay friends are fine . " , I said with a look of grimace on my face . But i was not going to give up this easily .
