‘Adam’s Love’ is my first eBook here at Smashwords.I have always wanted to write, but felt I didn’t have the appropriate skills. However, when I changed my work, I started working in a secondary school working with students who had limited English skills. Working with such students, an eagerness to write stories eagerly grew until I actually began writing.I hope my eBooks will help readers, particularly reluctant readers like young teenage children, to quickly develop and inspire a deep love of reading and to help readers discover and develop themselves as avid readers!I have used romance and love as my driving force for my theme in my eBooks because such relationship books can have the greatest impact because children can relate to their everyday lives by being in a similar situation or environment. Through this eBook, readers, including young people, will be encouraged to develop their communication skills, confidence but equally important, help inspire reluctant readers to enjoy reading thereby truly transforming lives through improved literacy!Finally, I hope readers will love my eBooks and thoroughly enjoy them! If you do, then please tell your family and friends. Thank you.

The lesson finished, and Adam was still in his class with his Maths teacher, Mr Khan.

"Why the very long face? asked Mr Khan, as Adam sat still quietly at the back of the class looking extremely worried and anxious. Mr Khan noted that Adam sat uneasily at his class desk as if his whole world was about to come quickly to an abrupt end! It’s the end of school day you know; you can go home now, Adam," added Mr Khan.

Adam didn’t response for a little while, and feeling a little concerned, Mr Khan approached Adam’s desk where Adam was sitting, his head down now resting on the desk.

Adam? prompted Mr Khan, sensing that something serious was the matter with Adam, and that whatever it was, it was visibly upsetting him. Usually, Adam was never this quiet at all. Is everything all right, Adam? asked Mr Khan, concern in his voice. I’ve noticed that you didn’t say anything at all in today’s lesson; that’s not like you at all, Adam.

Sighing heavily, Adam eventually lifted his head from the desk and faced Mr Khan; he looked pale with worry and anxiety.

Is everything all right? again asked Mr Khan, distinct worry in his voice.

It’s OK, sir, Adam replied slowly, distinct unhappiness in his voice.

Mr Khan could clearly sense that something was the matter.

Adam, if there’s something you want to talk about, you know you can talk to me at any time, Mr Khan reminded Adam, sincerity in his voice.

It’s nothing, sir, responded Adam, trying initially to avoid the issue.

Are you sure, Adam?

I’m sure, sir, responded Adam but with hesitation in his voice.

Absolutely, Adam? asked Mr Khan just to be sure. There’s nothing you want to talk about?

Again, Adam didn’t reply instantly, but hesitated as if he was thinking whether to say anything to his teacher.

It’s …

Yes, Adam. What is it? prompted Mr Khan.

Adam looked a little uneasy; yet words wondered wildly on his lips still unable to stumble out.

It’s … a girl, Adam eventually blurted and looked away from Mr Khan.

OK, responded Mr Khan uncertainly as he sat on a nearby chair. Go on.

Spreading his fingers, Adam completely covered his face with both his hands, taking a long deep breath before lowering his hands to face his teacher. Mr Khan stared at Adam prompting him to continue.

There’s a girl…

Yes, Adam, prompted Adam, his body posture showing interest in Adam’s worry.

"This girl … I, er, love her very
