TEARS

Jane doesn't know what to do, as she saw her best friend cry. She tried to console her, listen to her problem, but that friend of hers refused to tell her what had happened. It was sad to see a friend with tears of sadness rolling down her cheek.

"Ring! Ring!" there goes the recess bell.

Jane was still kept in the dark, not knowing the reasons for her very best friend to tear in front of her for the very first time. She tried to find out from her classmates about it, but none of them knows. She tried to figure out herself; soon she came to a conclusion:
She was unhappy about her results for Elementary Mathematics.

Jane remembered that a few days ago she was staying back after school, studying for an important test which will include into the overall marks. She even asked her for tuition for that particular subject. But even though she was hardworking, she doesn't seem to be able to score well for her mathematics since secondary one.

As time passes, Jane just couldn’t forget what had just shocked her. The bell goes, and all lessons had ended for the day, she went to find her best friend. She found her at a corner in her classroom, crying.

Jane asked her, based on her conclusion, is the terrible results that cause her to tear in front of her, nodding her head to agree with Jane, she told her what will happen to her if she bring this result back home for parents to sign. And Jane knows what will really happen as this happened a lot of times before, her friend will be accused for not studying hard enough, and in order to make her score better for the tests, her parents will often pull out the cane to cane her.

As Jane was not really good at offering solutions, she kept quiet for a moment. she felt bad, really bad, for she cannot offer good solutions to her friends whenever they need help.

"hey, why not we tell the teachers about it?" Jane asked, trying to break the silence.

But, no reply came. So she told her friend that she is going to tell her form teacher about it, they will know what to do. Her best friend parents were soon called to meet the form teacher. And on that day itself, her friend family understands their daughter more. Soon Jane no longer hears, her best friend telling her about she being caned.
