New classmate

A few days ago, a student was transferred to my class. His name was Zaki. I am not sure why he was brought here but he did not really do anything in the class. He was either sleeping or starring at the wall while the teacher teaches the class. I was glad he recognized me but I felt sad that he stayed the same since the first time we met. I have known him since Form 1 when I was in one of the last few classes. During those years, our class was comprised of lazy and trouble-making students. We were both trouble-makers and wouldn't pay attention in class at all. As the years gone by, I started studying and finishing my homework whereas Zaki was still immature and playful in class. But I see now that he is depressed and won't speak as much as he did. I hope placing him in my new class will benefit him in his studies.

One Sunday morning, James went sauntering through the woods with his older brother to collect firewood for their can of beans. It was really early and he had just awakened from his slumber so he was slowly strolling behind his older brother. After a while, James was blinded by a shiny gem that was stuck on the surface of a tree trunk. He then proceeded to peregrinate towards it and leaving his brother to continue traipsing around for more firewood. As James got closer and closer, he tried to remove the shiny gem. Then, in the distance, an old man shouted at James, telling him to not remove the gem. The old man trodden angrily towards James to warn him. However, James has the tendency to not follow orders, so he removed the gem anyway. James quickly ran off with the gem and out of the woods. The old man then walked away laughing and cheering. As James ran back to his home, he feels his feet getting heavier and heavier and his arms becoming very stiff. He eventually stopped to see what was wrong. His blood went cold as he sees his limbs turned into wood. He panicked as his feet were planted in the ground. He had turned into a tree. He couldn't speak but could see his brother. His brother had collected enough firewood and perambulated through the bushes. James screamed but not a single word came out. His brother did see the gem but did not take it, thinking it was put there for a reason. The next day, the old man returned to the woods to meet James. The old man stood there, smiled and said, "I told you so!" He then spitted on James and walked away never to return. THE END
