Challenge

     "Tom! I want to challenge you in Math!" Jhonson banged his hand on the table, shouted loudly and stared at my eyes while I am stunned confusingly. I did not know what was happening if I have done anything to him. The class was silent for seconds. I smelled a rat that something would happen badly to me. I really had no clue how to respond to him. Luckily, my teacher stepped into the class."You watch out!" he shouted before walking back to his table. It made my hair stand
     During recess time , See Sia explained to me," Yesterday is Valentine's Day and Johnson was rejected by Jessica because she was looking for person who could teach her Math."
     "Oh no! I am in hot water!" I talked to myself. I wondered if it is true that he was jealous me because Jessica usually came to my table and asked how to solve the questions. I had unknowingly become a love rival. I feel so irritated by him because I did not want to get this trouble. We had been good friend for very long and I had never expected this fight happened to our friendship.
     Since that day, he put amazing effort in studying Math. He completed all the Math homework and did many extra questions the teacher did not ask us to do. He researched for more methods solving difficult Math questions on the Internet. He canceled other subjects tutors and hired Math tutor indeed. He went tuition center for Math five time a week, even on Sunday too. He worked against the clock in order to surpass me. By the time, I really did not mind what he was doing. I only tried my best to study and score average for every single subject.
     I could not believe my eyes, his Math result had improved incredibly. He scored full marks for common test 2 and 98% for prelim. However , he did badly for English subject, - only 15%
     There were about 3 weeks left to N-level Exam. He had to work much harder for others subjects, but it seemed mostly impossible because he only focused on Math and gave up others. He did not expect this worst situation.
     He sat at one corner in the class, holding his prelim result clip and crying. All his effort had gone up the smoke. It was meaningless how high you scored for all the subjects but English failed. He looked very down and lifeless. I pitied him.
     "Don't give up yet!" Jessica put her hand on his shoulder," Even though there was a dim light of hope, it was possible. I will help you, we will all help you , won't we?"
    "Yeah of course!" the hold class cheered.
    At the moment, he burst in to tears. He felt on top of the world. However, I am not fine with it. He had beat me top scorer for Math. If he passed Eng for N exam, he would be top student. That made me unhappy because I was top three students last night.
    "The challenge is not over yet." I spoke friendly to him," I will still challenge you for overall N-level result. I won't lose to you."
    Those four weeks, I took seriously in studying and revision. I did my very best for the exam paper. Truly I did not touch my computer even just one time. I only concentrated on revision. I did not want to lose him.
    My N-level result was better than him luckily. But his Math result was better than me of cos. It did not matter. Our class 4N1 all did quite well. See you next year in 5N1.
