"By the way, will you be going to the library after school today?"

"No." Frida shook her head. "I have to work; I found a job nearby."

Frida's words shocked Mashauva, and she asked, "You're working? Frida, why did you suddenly get a job? Didn't you say you wanted to focus on your studies? It'll affect your grades if you work, won't it?" "It's fine. I'll just find other time to study."

In full sincerity and seriousness, Masahuva asked, "Are you short of money? We're best friends. Just stick by me; I can give you some of my allowances."

Frida gave a wan smile. "No need, my job isn't hard. I'll do just fine."

"But..."

"Mashauva!"

Frida raised her voice several notches. "I told you, no! It's your pocket money, not mine. How can I spend your money?"

"But, I don't mind."

I do!"

The smile on Frida's face disappeared. "Your family is rich; of course, you don't care about the money. But I'm not you. I grew up poor. Your monthly allowance is equivalent to my one-year living expenses. You want me to spend it with you? It may look like you're being nice to me on the surface, but what's it to me? I'm not a beggar. Don't treat me like one."

Frida's outburst got Mashauva dumbfounded for quite a while before she said, "Frida, I don't mean it that way. I just thought..."

"Alright, that's enough. I'm leaving."

Without waiting for Mashauva to reply, Frida turned around and left.

Mashauva stood in place and subconsciously clutched the hem of her shirt, not knowing what to say.

When their classes ended, Frida was indeed the first to leave the classroom. Mashauva traipsed along behind her and watched as she left the school. She was about to follow her to see where she was working.

However, when Mashauva reached the gates, she saw a familiar figure.
