Alice’s words struck a nerve. The classroom fell silent; everyone stared at her in shock. She was truly an inspiration.

Chloe’s face flushed; she started crying.“Alice, I was just trying to comfort you. I didn’t mean anything else.”

A classmate exclaimed, “Alice, don’t be ungrateful! Even if your score is good, what’s so impressive? Become the top scorer and then boast!”

Chloe sniffed.“Don’t fight because of me. I understand Alice’s upset about her scores.” Chloe was furious.“Understand what? Stop with the crocodile tears!

Chloe was surprised.“Alice, don’t be stubborn. We all know.”
