One afternoon when my classmates talked happily and loudly with each other I kept silent in my seat. I felt so sad because I got a low mark in the exam.

When I was deep in thought Panda one of my best friends and monitor of our class said to me that it was my turn to clean the classroom. Hearing that I was so angry that I lost my temper. Standing up and throwing the book onto the desk I went straight to get a broom and left him looking at me confused.

A few seconds later I calmed down and realized that I had behaved badly just now. I decided to make an apology to him after class. But I had no courage to do that. Thus we didn’t speak to each other for several weeks.

Considering it was my fault I planned to break the ice between us. Then a good opportunity came. One morning there were only a few students left in the classroom including Panda and me. I walked towards him slowly thinking about how to make an apology. When I sat opposite him he gave me a smile. Then I encouraged myself to open the mouth and said “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have ...” To my surprise Panda said “What’s up?” Then he continued with a big smile “We are good friends all the time aren’t’t we?”

Maybe he had forgiven me; maybe he had forgotten that matter. However it is certain that the ice between us has melted.
