Story of Idioms...

Peter is the blue eyed boy in the English class. He always get extra attention from our teachers and adored by many.

This makes him to horse around so much during the lesson. He knows that they will never punish him and would be lenient no matter what he does. We don't really mind and in fact we enjoy having Peter in the class because he is out going and takes the attention away from us. Everyday we hope he's in the pink of health so he could attend the classes and cheer us up.
