When my friends walked away from me

John, our class brightest boy and he is my best friend. He had never failed to score the highest mark in every subject throughout our years together. It might because of the PSLE. I really put in all my effort in my study as I didn’t want to disappoint my parents.
One afternoon, during math lesson, our math teacher announced to the class that she was very surprised that one of our class pupils did extremely well and score the highest mark among all the primary six classes no doubt there were some difficult sums and tricky problems. All eyes were on John and he was smiling happily until my teacher called my name. I was shocked, too happy with boiling blood flowing around my body, thinking of: how come it’s me? And I jumped up from my seat. My class mate gave me applause except John. The smile had disappeared from John’s face and lesson was continues. “Ring…… Ring……” the recess bell ring. I packed up my things and wanted to leave the classroom with John to have our meals which we used to do for years, but he walked away from me when I walked towards him and refused to say any words. I was very sad, felt insulted and ask myself what I had done wrong. I know John too well. He just can’t take the fact that I did better than him in the math test. As my best friend, he should feel happy for me if I did well in my study. I felt down, sad, broken heart and disappointed. For the past few weeks, I could not eat well, sleep well and misses all our happy moments together.
One evening after school, I am surprised that John waited for me at the school gate and he apologized to me after his mother explain to him that he should not treat me that way. I felt glad that he finally can accept the fact. We were back to our old times and even closer now. Thanks to his mother as I just don’t know how to put my feeling in words but just could say I am extremely happy now.
