We had been in\nthe same class for six years. She was my best friend forever. We told each\nother different stories and shared our feelings and thoughts. Carrie was a\ntrouble maker. She always gets into trouble and I might have to clean up the\nmess. Although I\u2019m used to it, that time she was really in a big trouble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I was resting on the corridor, I suddenly heard\nsomeone crying. I ran in the dressing room and saw some girls bullying a girl,\nand that girl was Carrie. \u201cWhat\u2019s the matter?! Are you a monster or a troublemaker?!\nYou always get our class in trouble and have to clean up the mess for you, will\nyou ever quit?!\u201d One of the girls shouted loudly and was trying to punch\nCarrie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cStop it you\nguys!\u201d I ran toward Carrie and stopped that girl. \u201cIf you guys do that again,\nI\u2019m going to tell the teacher and you will be in a really big trouble!\u201d They\nran away. I asked Carrie whether she was fine or not, but she just continued\ncrying. She murmured something and went away. I did not catch what she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other day, I\nwas late for class. When I arrived, I saw the teacher standing in front of the\nclass, looking serious. I wonder what had happened, that\u2019s when I found the girls\nwho bullied Carrie were not at school. The teacher said seriously \u201cI think you\nall know that those girls are absent today. They were attacked by a girl in\nthis class. They were injured and sent to the hospital this morning.\u201d I was\nshocked. Why were they injured? Who in the world attacked them? At that moment,\nI found that Carrie was looking at the ground all the time. I went toward her\nand asked<ins>,<\/ins> \u201cYou know something, didn\u2019t you?\u201d\nShe started to cry and whispered to me, \u201cI attacked them. I didn\u2019t mean to hurt\nthem, I just wanted them to know they were wrong.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIs there anything\nwrong, Carrie?\u201d the teacher stood in front of us and saw Carrie crying. \u201cDid\nyou know anything, Carrie?\u201d the teacher looked at her seriously, starting to\nsuspect her. \u201cI&#8230; I&#8230; I did&#8230;\u201d \u201cI did that.\u201d I shouted out before Carrie\nsaid anything. \u201cWhy did you do that?\u201d \u201cThey hurt my friend. This is unacceptable,\nso I wanted to teach them a lesson. Carrie was just shock about they were hurt,\nshe did nothing. Also that\u2019s the reason why I\u2019m late for class. I\u2019m sorry\u201d I\nmade up that ridiculous story to protect Carrie from being kicked out of the\nclass, she loved ice-skating and I did not want her losing her dream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At last I was\nkicked out of class and I never see her again. Carrie was my best friend and I\nwanted her to succeed. Her feelings and dream are the things I hold dear. If\nthe incident happened again, I will do it in the same way.
