The first period had ended and Shirley was getting ready to get her books out for the next class. Over the weekend she had gotten everything that was needed. She had her books, her own pens, everything. Now she no longer had to share with Mai, like she did the first day. There was just one problem though.
Looking over to her left side, she could see Mai's face slumped over at the desk, and she let out a huge sigh.
"Come on." Shirley said. "Why don't you just tell me what's wrong. You have been sighing throughout the whole lesson. I could even see the teacher getting annoyed. I bet if you weren't the top in the class she would have said something."
Mai just placed her forehead on the desk.
"It's all ruined." She replied.
There was a good amount of time before the next period would start, so she decided to move her desk over towards Mai.
