Ali was stupendously quiet. Everyone was walking at the street sides but he was slightly away from them, looking at the ground with puppy eyes and kicking away some pebbles at his feet.

"What's wrong?"

He looked up at his left to see Boboiboy. His right hand was on his back and he was actually looking worried.

"I feel dumb," he admitted.

Then the others joined in.

"Ala, it's OK. It's normal for people to be dumb," Gopal said.

"No, I mean not like that. Before this, at my old school, I was like this too. I always got a F for exams and tests. Never got an A in my life. I'm scared I'll fail this time again and everyone would laugh at me."

"Don't worry, you have us," Yaya said and the others agreed.

Ali grinned weakly. At least they've tried cheering him up.

"Thanks guys."

"No problem," Ying said.
