Students discussing among themselves, then came Anakin to jude

Anakin: hi jude, guess you know what to write already..

Jude: i guess so...

Anakin: Can you tutor me? You know my writing skill is poor...

Jude: alright, i can do that. What are friends for...

Anakin: or better, when you are done writing yours, i can use it as a guide for mine. What do you think?

Jude: much more better..

After school, Jude got home and told his Mom about the scholarship and essay and asked for her assistance.
The next day at school

Teacher: lest i forget, concerning the essay, all entries should be submitted on or before friday for screening.

Kendra: what a short time to prepare, can't it be taken further?

Teacher: Friday it is, say no more.

Anakin: wooww , you are always ready, thanks i won't forget this.

It was Thursday already

Jude: Anakin, can i have my essay now?, i have to write it in a plane paper to make it more presentable.

Anakin: ouch!!! I forgot it at home. You see, i was busy writing all night, i didn't remember to pack it all.

Jude: I'm doomed, can you bring it to my house after school?

Anakin: sure, i will.

Jude waited and waited, then he went to Anakin's house, but couldn't find him.
The next day at school (Friday)

Teacher: Bring forth your essays

Jude: excuse me ma, i gave Anakin mine but he is yet to give it back.

Teacher: well, lets hope he brings it before the close of the day.

Jude(furious): where is my essay?

Anakin: sorry Jude, i lost it.

Jude (crying) : what? You mean i will loose this one chance to fulfill my dreams....

Anakin : I'm really sorry.

Jude lost his chance of getting a scholarship.....Weeks past and Jude forgave Anakin , and they were friends again

Teacher: For your exams, submit a summary of your Biology text.

Anakin: Jude, i can't find my Biology text, please lend me yours to make a copy.

Jude(thought back): Sorry, I can't.

Anakin: it won't take more than five minutes.

Jude: i know, i just can't let it out of my sight.
