there will be hope

It was a hot summer day in Delhi. We were given a free period and Aisola Ma'am was monitoring our class. I was sitting on the second or third last bench with a guy I had a crush on. We were all happily chatting away when Aisola Ma'am asked "will some one take these papers and give them to xyz Ma'am in the teaches room". Everyone heard but then soon went back to what they were doing. I waited for the guy besides me to raise his hand to volunteer. He didn't. Disappointed, I started to walk towards the teachers desk when a guy on the front row said "Ma'am, who would go out in this heat". As I took the papers from her and left the room I heard her say "as long as there are students like her, there will be hope"
