Glasses

I found this piece in one of my notebooks and I thought you'd enjoy it.  I this piece, three schoolboys mock another schoolboy who has started to wear glasses, meanwhile, there's news of a girl looking for a date.  Which of the three boys will do the honours?

"Oh look at him."  The classroom of schoolboys laughed as Edward entered, red in the face.
     "Doesn't he look silly."  One asked.
     "The most daftest thing to put on a face."  Another spoke.
     Most uncommon."  A third spoke in a posh voice.  "Most uncommon."
     "Why are you wearing that sill thing?" The first boy, Alfred, asked.
     "Supersavers told me I needed to."  Edward answered weakly.
     "How horrible."  The second boy, Douglas, mocked a shocked voice.
     "Nothing's wrong with my eyesight."  The third boy, George, mocked a peer's accent voice.
     "What's going on here?" Arthur asked as he entered the room.
     "Eddie's got glasses."  Douglas laughed.
     "I can see that."  Arthur replied.  "I quite like them."
     "Oh, thank you."  Edward replied, smiling weakly.
     "What's the news?" Alfred asked.
     "Young Miss Grace has announced that she's taking one of us on a date."  Arthur answered.
     "She'll take me out."  George smirked.
     Douglas looked at him, "No she won't, she'll take me."
     "Don't be silly."  Alfred spoke up, "It'll be me who will be with Grace."
     Arthur and Edward sat on the edge of a table side-by-side, arms folded and smiled as the three schoolboys argued between themselves.
     "She won't be taking me."  Edward whispered to Arthur.  "I don't feel special enough."
     "Because of your glasses?"
     "Yes my friend."
     "It makes you look intelligent."
     "Shut up."  Edward smiled wider.
     "What's the arguing about?" Asked a voice in the door.  Edward thought his glasses were playing tricks with his eyes.
     Grace was about his height with long blond hair and dazzling blue eyes that matched the long deep blue dress she was wearing.
      "I'd like to take you out tonight."  Alfred jumped up.
     "No, I will take you out tonight."  Douglas stepped in front of Alfred.
     "Please, let me take you out."  George gestured.
     "Let Grace decide."  Arthur suggested.
     "I already have."  Grace replied softly.
     "Who is it?" The three schoolboys asked at once.
     "The intelligent looking one."  Grace answered, looking at Edward.
     "Me?" Edward asked, taken aback.
     "Of course, your glasses make you look intelligent."
     Edward's smile matched Grace's smile as he took her arm and they walked out together.  Arthur watched on, impressed.  The three boys were dumbfounded, their mouths dropped, eyes big as a snooker cue ball and their legs turned to jelly as they fell back in their chairs with one thought in their minds, and it's the same thought as they said it aloud together, "I want a pair of glasses."

I hope that you've enjoyed this piece.  I hope to post another piece soon.
