stopped sleeping, too, and quickly sat down at his desk to study. But he had no idea that I had already fallen asleep.
Speaker A
When we returned to school the next day, I saw how exhausted he looked, and I knew my plan had worked. Not only that, he had not even finished his homework.
Speaker A
After being called out by the teacher, he was forced to stand at the back of the classroom as punishment. The reason I did all this was because the boy and I had competed for the position of class president. But for some reason, he ended
Speaker A
up winning. So I made a bet with him that in the next exam, whoever ranked first would become the boss. The boy who had competed with me since childhood immediately agreed. To school, I deliberately placed the cardboard robot
Speaker A
under a tree to attract the boy's attention. Seeing his confused expression, I finally revealed the truth. To realizing he had been tricked, the boy became furious. He immediately walked over and stomped hard on the cardboard robot, then turned around
Speaker A
angrily and left. This made me unable to stop myself from cursing at him. When I returned home and saw that my mother was not there, I secretly turned on the television and started watching it. The boy deliberately made a noise, making me
Speaker A
think that my mother had returned. Looking at him, I knew the boy had done it on purpose. So I went back to watching TV. But just as I sat down, my mother really came home. Seeing the anger on my mother's face, I stood there
Speaker A
guiltily without saying a word. In the end, I was punished by my mother and forbidden from eating dinner. I also had to peel peanuts as punishment. Looking at the boy's smug smile, I was extremely angry but had nowhere to vent my
Speaker A
frustration. After returning to my room, I was so hungry that I couldn't fall asleep. Suddenly, a sound came from outside the door. When I saw the insulated lunchbox in his hand, I instantly understood what he meant. This scene was also witnessed by my father.
Speaker A
As I drank the chicken soup from the bowl, I finally felt completely satisfied. The boy did not forget to tease me from the side, but because I was so hungry, I didn't care about his mocking at all. One day, the school
Speaker A
organized a sports day. Because I had a special physical condition since childhood, I was not allowed to participate in any sports, but I still wrote my name on the registration form.
Speaker A
However, all my classmates did not want me to participate. Even the boy who was the class president tried to persuade me, but I still insisted. In the end, to prevent me from getting injured, the boy tied our hands together. He ran
Speaker A
alongside me throughout the entire race. With the boy's help, we worked together perfectly on the day of the competition.
Speaker A
In the end, we surpassed all our opponents and won first place in the event.
