It was the new term. But Linda was not happy because her best friend Jane had been transferred to another school.

As soon as Linda realized that she could no longer walk on campus with Jane and share with her the feelings of everyday life, Linda felt quite frustrated.

Having been used to staying with Jane, Linda couldn’t put up with the loneliness. In order to get rid of it, she started to get addicted to computer games. As a result, her parents and teachers became disappointed with her.

One month later, Linda received a letter from Jane. She was so happy that she burst into tears. The letter read:

“Dear Linda,

I was so sorry that I left you without informing you. My parents made the decision suddenly and all I could do was accept it. It took me about three weeks to adapt to my new environment. In addition, I took part in many activities, like speech contests and social gatherings, which gave me opportunities to make a lot of friends.

At the same time, I was angry to hear from your parents that you wanted to drop out. It is a great pity that you don’t enjoy school life. Even though we couldn’t meet each other as often as before, we can communicate in other ways, as the distance between us is just a small challenge. We must learn to face it and get through it.

Cheer up! I hope you will pick yourself up soon and I will treasure our friendship which, let us hope, will grow with time.

Yours sincerely,

Jane”

After reading that, Linda realized what a stupid thing she had done. She finally devoted herself to her studies. Moreover, she took part in school activities with enthusiasm, which made her life rich and full. Jane and Linda wrote to each other once a week so that they could share their feelings just like before.
