As always I went to school marry. I entered to the gate and I greeted with my classmates. The bell rang. We entered to the class. Our teacher who is teaching us literature came. We started the lesson as usual. After teacher checked our home tasks she told:
-Today I’m happy, because my lovely pupil Ann gave second place in competition. Couse of she is very clever and she did the test very well.
-Who? -I asked in shock situation.
-Ann,- she told again.
-What about me? -I asked again.
-Yeah, what about our classmate Alina? She had gone with you too…- all of my friends agreed with me.
-She couldn’t give place. But she also did a good result.
-Congratulations for Ann…- I replied sadly. At that time, a drop of tears flowed from my eyes. -May I go out?
-Yes, go out. She looked to my face and ask: – Are you fine?
-I’m okay.
I ran to school yard. Hatred and envy covered my heart. I lost myself.
-Can it be really? Is it possible I lost? I was cried.
Because in fact incident was like that:
2 days ago we went to competition which in this competition a special test from various subjects is given and we work on the test. The 3 students with the highest scores would receive a certificate. The judges distributed the test. Ann and I sat down at a desk. I worked the test exam immediately. But Ann couldn’t. And she begged me:
– Alina, please also works my test. I couldn’t work it. I got confused. I’m getting excited. Please…
I couldn’t refuse to see that she begged. And I took her test sheet and started working. There was a little time left for the exam. Finally, I finished. But was run out. I worked out her test but I didn’t get around to working out the last 5 of mine. Exam sheets received. I was a little upset, but more happy. I thought Ann would thank me for my help. But she didn’t…
Now I’m going to classroom. Just now Ann pointed to her certificate in her hand and went to the school hall. She was arrogant and as usual she didn’t express gratitude. As if she achieved success with her own knowledge and hard work.
