For this past few years I, Scott, have never thought of someone who could actually be so much dearly and care for me just until that incident happened. It all had started when In form 5 which my best friend since birth, Wengy were put in different classes. At first, I didn't actually care because being in my class now makes me having a better friend that could bring up my popularity in school. Students who are put in this class are the most known people in school as they are clever and good in athletics. This makes girls in schools go crazy whenever we pass by. 

So, just as I started making new friends such as Mark, Jack and Josh, We actually became the most popular guys in school. From that very moment I have started to realize that I have forgotten my very best friend who I had almost being with in my entire school life. Unfortunately, once I'm one of those popular guys one of the things that I should not do is not to hang out with lower class students. I think this is absurd but actually thats how things goes. 

I made myself clear that no matter what it is, I will always stick to my new friends and never leave them behind. I made up my mind not to spend anymore time with Wengy ever again. This was the biggest mistake I have ever made. There was once Wengy came to me and said "Hey Scott want to hang out after school?" I wanted to say yes but Mark, Jack and Josh was just beside me and I said "Hang out? Sorry 'dude' I don't hang out with losers like you" With full of guilt I said that and I saw right through his eyes that he sensed my betrayal. My friends laugh at him and said "get lost forever alone guy!"  

From that incident onwards we never talked about anything anymore. I just hang out with my 'gang' and had so much fun from being popular and looked up to by so many people in school. Being in my class now makes me more smarter and smarter which I can ask mostly from the smartest student in form 5. And during valentines day it makes me feel like heaven! I got a lot of bouquet of flowers and bunch of chocolate boxes which supposedly a guy like me should do and not those desperate girls.  

That time, I really thought that everything was right that everything that's wrong is right. Until Mark who happened to lost track on his time management and forgotten to study for the coming mid-term examination in about a week. Mark as the leader of the 'gang' ordered us to break in the restricted area where exam papers are kept that night. I disagree with the plan and did not join them. That night, they broke in the restricted area and unfortunately luck was not on their side and got caught by the school security.  

In the principal's office, Mark used my name that I was the puppet master behind all this. Even though they didn't have evidence, the principal unfairly believed it anyway because she knew the four of us are always being together and by chance that the security saw me walking in front of the school gate that night. In fact, I could proof myself innocent if only I am still friends with Wengy. Because that night I was actually going to the grocery store and coincidently met Wengy when I was buying some food to be restock in the fridge. But I am in the full of guilt to ask for his help. 

But before the principal was about to say the punishment we should get, Wengy burst out from the office door and shouted " Wait! I have something to say that Scott is not at the restricted area last night." I was so shocked towards his action and feel so guilty on what I had done to him. I have really regretted that I have been ignoring him just to become something that is not necessary. Even if I have the smartest friend who could teach me in my studies but not being honest is nothing much but a fool that could not think positively. From that day onwards I started leaving out Mark, Jack and Josh and started to be friends with Wengy again because now I realise the value of a true friend.
