The Time I Read A Person Wrongly
It was the beginning of the school year and everyone's heart was filled with much excitement and anticipation for they had a new school year to looked up to. The same goes for me as I am going to be in Form 4. I went to my class and was quickly bursted into excitement as my old friends from the previous years are going to be in the same class as me!! :) When class was about to start, my new form teacher come into our class and gave us a small talk about our Form 4 life. Later, a girl with very nice curly hair and big eyes walked into our class. She was wearing our school uniform and had looked rather shy. Our class had become noisy when we saw her as we all busy disscussing whther she could had been a new transfer student. Next, our form teacher begin to introduce the new girl to us. He said, " Class, this is our new transfer student from Kuantan and her name is Emily. She is still quite new to the surroundings around her so please be nice to her and make her feel at home. " He then added some more, " Emily, you can sit with Mei Chee at the middle row there. " She then walked shyly to take her sit. Her first impression to me was that she is a person with few words and shy. At first, we had no conversation at all and was all the feeling of nervous. The atmosphere was very still and quiet as well. But I cannot stand the quiteness no more so I took up the courage and turned to her and said, " Hi! The name's Mei Chee, how do you do? " She then replied me. Our conversation started out with much awkward but then we started to build our conversations slowly. At almost lunch time and before teacher left, he reminded us that he will be collecting the new school year fees. During lunch time, I invited Emily to go to the canteen with me but she rejected the offer as she said she is feeling rather unwell. At that time everyone was at the canteen eating the meals and munching on their snacks they had juat bought. Except for Emily of course who was in the classroom resting. Break time ended with a flash and the students all head back to their owm classrooms. As I walked into my classroom and took my seat, I suddenly remembered the money in my bag I brought to school. I opened my bag and looked for my money. To my horror, I could not find my money or anywhere else in my bag. I quickly jumped to comclusions and looked to Emily. " You stole my money! Give it back! " I yelled out with much anger inside. " What? What are you talking about? I didn't stole your money." Emily replied. I added," Oh you didn't? Then how do you explain my disappearing money? It couldn't had just grown two legs and jumped out of my bag! Face it! Your the only suspicios culprit around here. Not leaving the classroom during break time and saying your not feeling well? Ha! Just some lame excuse to take the chance and steal my money! " Our quarrel remain for quite some time until our teacher walked into our classroom. " Girls, whats all this commotion about? Stop it immediatly! ", teacher cried out. " Emily started it, she stole my money and she would not confess and give it back!" The teacher then walked towards Emily and asked her, " Emily, what Mei Chee had said, is it true? Did you seriously stole her money?" She replied no. " Mei Chee, check your bag again to see whether your money is in there or not. I do as I was told to and took out everything in my bag. I flipped through everybook there is and just when I was flipping my Mathematics text book, an RM50 note dropped out. I then jumped with excitement and also with embaressment too as I had read Emily wrongly. She turned out to be the innocent one and I felt so sorry for saying all those mean things to her. " There, you have your money, be more cautious next time and next time don't simply jump to conclusion." teacher commented. I promised teacher that and after that commotion, everything returned to normal. I make up with her by apologising to her and luckily she was able to forgive me. We then became the best of friends again.
