The teacher walked into the classroom. It was the first period that day.
“Good morning, everyone. How was your holiday?” Mrs. Jane asked.
“Great!” “Fun!” “Exciting!” Those were the words came from every student in the class describing their end-year holidays. Of course holiday is fun and interesting days for everyone. But, for Jessica, it was a boring holiday since her parents rarely spent their times with her due to their busy schedules even during her school holidays. She just kept quiet as if she did not hear when Mrs. Jane asked them. She seems hardly opened her mouth since she entering the class.
After sometimes Mrs. Jane realized that Jessica disliked her school holidays. She quickly switches her topic. “Okay, now. Everyone, I’m going to introduce you to your new classmate, Tiffany,” announced Mrs. Jane. She welcomes Tiffany to the classroom. Mrs. Jane then asked her to introduce herself. After that she asked her to sit beside Jessica.
“Hi, I’m Jessica. Nice to meet you,” Jessica greeted her with a broad smile. “Nice to meet you too,” Tiffany said with a broad smile too. Mrs. Jane smiled to herself when she saw that Jessica smiled broadly. Mrs. Jane felt relief knowing that Jessica was happy to have a new friend.
“Alright, everyone~ Let’s start our first lesson today,” Mrs. Jane told the class. The lesson for the day was very interesting as the students seemed to be enjoying the lesson.
It was at about 2pm everyone was waiting for the final bell to ring that marked the end of the lesson of the day. Jessica and tiffany walked hand-in-hand on their way home.
“Do you usually walk home?” Tiffany asked Jessica while walking along the corridor.
“Yes. I’d rather walking than going by car,” Jessica told her.
“I used to walk too,” said Tiffany.
“Hey… can I ask you something?” Jessica asked.
“Sure. Why not?” Tiffany wondering what is she going to ask her.
“Can we be friend?” Jessica asked. Her face turned reddish red. Tiffany giggled.
