and don’t tell me, they include my not receiving my million pounds I suppose?’ replied Alec shaking his head despondently.
    ‘That’s right ’ laughed Tom ‘you can’t ask for any financial gain, I’ve already learnt that one. I can’t ask for any personal gain, no matter how indirectly’ explained Tom.
    ‘How’s that work out then?’ asked Alec curiously.
    ‘Well put it like this, if I pray for you to win a million pounds, then I’d be better off too as you’d be sure to share some of it with me’ explained Tom.
    ‘I wouldn’t be so sure about that, mate, I might just keep it all for myself’ smiled Alec as Tom just laughed at him.
    Then Alec looked thoughtful.
    ‘What about me and Sara h then? That wouldn’t benefit you in any way would it?’ asked Alec curiously.
    Tom just stroked his chin in thought .
    ‘I’m not 100% sure about that one’ he told Alec truthfully.
    ‘Let’s find out then ’ responded Alec keenly.
    Tom just sighed.
    ‘OK , but I have to warn you, Alec, praying is like ‘wishing’ and if I ever wish for something that ‘isn’t right’ it sometimes doesn’t turn out as planned’ Tom warned.
    ‘But what’s that supposed to mean?’ puzzled Alec impatiently.
    ‘It means ‘be careful what you wish for’ explained Tom seriously ‘because you might just get exactly what you’ve wished for!’
    ‘But that’s good surely?’ smiled Alec.
    Then he looked thoughtful for a moment.
    ‘F or a chance to snog Sarah Brown I think I’ll risk it’ he smiled as Tom just laughed at him.
    ‘Go on then , get praying boy’ suggested Alec keenly.
    ‘I’m not doing this with you watching me, I’ll pray for what you want later tonight, Alec’ Tom explained as he began to leave.
    ‘This isn’t just some ‘wind up’ is it, Tom?’ Alec asked suspiciously.
    ‘I almost wish it were, Alec’ Tom replied seriously ‘it is an awful responsibility to carry around with you, that’s all I know.’
    ‘What, being able to pray for anything you like? You’re joking?’ laughed Alec.
    ‘Don’t tell anyone about thi s, Alec’ asked Tom seriously.
    ‘My lips are sealed, well, in readiness for Sarah anyway’ chuckled Alec.
    ‘Blimey and I thought I had it bad for her’ smiled Tom as he left for home.
    ‘MAKE SURE YOU DON’T FORGET !’ Alec shouted after him.
    So later that night, Tom prayed for pretty Sarah Brown to fall in love with his best friend Alec.

    The next day, Alec and Tom’s first two lessons went exactly the same as usual.
    Then it was time for their usual mid-morning break.
    ‘Oh look, there’s sexy Sarah!’ smiled one of their friends as he pointed her out.
    Sarah was just chatting with some of her friends when she suddenly caught Alec’s eye.
    ‘Blimey! S he’s only coming over to see us’ uttered one of Alec and Tom’s friends in surprise.
    Sarah meanwhile , marched straight up to Alec and just smiled at him.
    ‘My, you’re sexy, w here have you been hiding all my life?’ she uttered as she then grabbed him by the collar as she planted a long lingering kiss straight onto Alec’s lips!
    Al l the other boys just stared in disbelief as their jaws now dropped to the ground in surprise.
    After Sarah had finally let Alec up for some air she pouted away at him.
    ‘Make sure you m eet me behind the bike sheds at lunch time’ then she smiled and winked her eye at him before wiggling her way off again.
    ‘Blimey! What was that all about?’ uttered one of their friends after she had gone.
    ‘What after shave are you wearing, Alec, as I want to buy some!’ joked another.
    ‘Oh, no way !’ uttered another of their friends now scratching his head in amazement ‘you lucky, lucky, so and so, Alec’ he laughed ‘she’s definitely after your body mate, there’s no doubt about it!’ he laughed.
    Another just patted him on the back.
    ‘I don’t exactly kn ow what is you’ve got, Alec, but whatever it is, I know she wants it!’ he joked as
