Turnaround Day
Midway through the exam my lead broke. What to do?
The boy across the aisle noticed.
“I brought extras. Take one,” he coaxed, extending an arm towards me.
Why would he offer to help me? I, the lowest achiever of the class; the one all classmates avoided.
Reluctantly I accepted his pencil, resuming my guesses to multiple choice questions.
“Good luck,” the same boy whispered, bending towards me.
I watched him rush to the front of the room to be the first to hand in his exam. He, the smartest student of the class.
The one who gave me hope.
