Helping Out

As the chilly cold wind roared through the trees making thrashing sounds, the heavy rain bucketed down onto the charcoal grey asphalt road. The sky was gloomy and sunless.
I however, was on the school bus safely sheltered from the dreadful weather.
I wondered to myself why, what today would be like? My thoughts were short lived as the bus pulled into the garage. I glanced at my watch and realised it was 7:43pm.
“Late” I thought to himself “Late, Late”
As soon as I got off the bus, I dashed to my classroom on the 2nd floor. I made it just in time. And found my seat in the corner of the room.
“Good Morning 12th Graders!” said Mrs.Leroy sipping her cup of coffee “Let me just take attendance then we’ll start class!”
“Hey, Callum!” whispered my good friend Neville “How are things?”
“Good, quite good” I whispered back

During lunch recess, I hung out with Neville and another friend named James. James was quite nice, like Neville.
“So...Hi” said Neville trying to start a conversation
“Did you guys study for the math test we’re going to have tomorrow?” I replied
“Yep!” James and Neville replied happily
“Me too” I replied

After school while I was getting my bag from by locker, a boy approached me. He had an angular face and jet black hair.
“Listen To Me!!!” He yelled as he grabbed me “You’re that kid that always gets perfect grades, right?”
“Let me go!” I replied struggling to be free
“NO!” He yelled back “LISTEN, get bad grades on the test tomorrow”
“Why!”
“Just do it!” The boy replied “If you don’t, I’ll get you real good”
Then he threw me to the ground and ran off.
“What’s his problem” I whispered to myself “Still going to do my best on the test”

A few days later Mr.Drusan, our math teacher, handed back our test. Neville, Jam...

... middle of paper ...

...elp you get good grades,” I reassured “Wanna go over to my house today, I can help you with whatever you need help with?”
“Sure, Thanks man, sorry about what I did to you. You’re the best,” George replied

I gotta admit, I was a little scared when I invited him over. But I did it because I knew I was the right thing.
“Hey, what do you need help with?” I asked George in a kind tone
“Umm...what about geography?” He replied
“Like the stuff that was on the previous test?” I asked calmly
“Yup!” He replied
And just like that, I started to help him.

I helped John with academics everyday after school. Neville and James also helped, we all became really good buddies. George managed to pass and even get perfect grades on the tests that followed. At the end of the year, John was able to be accepted by a great university. I gotta say, helping out others can also help you too!
