He saw Mary beside himself in no time. When Mary asked about the result, he was hot under collar, gritted his teeth and tried to be friendly.
He hemmed and hawed and skirted the issue.
Mary's insistence was a hit below the belt. He remembered school final exam what Mary said left a bad taste in his mouth, but finally he decided to lay his cards on the table and held his temper. He took the bull by the horns and told it like it was.
-"Oh!! Me, too!!" Mary said!
He was all at sea and sat up and took notice of her words.
-"How?!! You were in the big time in School!" He said surprisingly.
-"Yeah! But it seems that we both brought up the rear" Mary said with a smile keeping her chip up.
His heart went out to Mary.
Mary continued:
"Now it's the time to put heads together and pool our resources. It's very good to join forces. Tow hands are better than one."

COULD YOU MAKE ITS END UP?!
to find hi name was like looking for a needle in a haystack. Oh! His name wasn't there!
He became so upset that he lost his head. But worse he saw Mary and looked her in the eye. He flipped out and at first he couldn't speak then he pulled himself togetherb.
Mary was his classmate. She whipped the pants of the other students and stole the show from every body in the class in a way that other students do not hold a candle to her.
She had a lot on the ball and everyone sat up and took niotice of her clever mind. Teachers took their hat off to her but she thought that she is God's gift to the mankind and had a heart of stone that always added insult to injury.
thank you sahar jan!
then what happened to him? :)
:)
Please be patient!
