"You made me cry, and now you're saying I can't ask for much? Well, I'm not forgiving you then."

With that, Sophie turned on her heel, ready to walk away.

Harold quickly caught her by the arm and, after a moment's hesitation, sighed, "Fine, you win."

"That's more like it."

Sophie gave Harold a playful pat on the head and said, "Then I better get ready."

Harold blinked, confused. "Ready? Ready for what?"

Harold's face fell, realizing he'd been outsmarted by this cheeky girl yet again!

"Sophie!"

"I'm right here."

"You..."

"What can you do about it?"

Sophie stuck her tongue out at Harold and pulled a funny face.

Harold's scowl deepened. That Sophie! Always pulling stunts like this!

"Ms. Sophie, this isn't on you."

"But it is! I was being too stubborn."

She and Harold had been inseparable since childhood, always sticking together.

The idea of being in separate classes meant no more shared lessons or lunch breaks. Just the thought was unsettling.

"That's not my call to make."

"But..."

"Ms. Sophie, if you really don't want to change classes, you might want to talk to him yourself."
