No “ice” between friends

One afternoon, when my classmates talked happily and loudly with each other, I kept silent in my seat. I felt so sad because I got a low mark in the exam.

When I was deep in thought, Panda, one of my best friends, and monitor of our class, said to me that it was my turn to clean the classroom. Hearing that, I was so angry that I lost my temper. Standing up and throwing the book onto the desk, I went straight to get a broom and left him looking at me confused.

A few seconds later, I calmed down and realized that I had behaved badly just now. I decided to make an apology to him after class. But I had no courage to do that. Thus, we didn’t speak to each other for several weeks.

Considering it was my fault, I planned to break the ice between us. Then, a good opportunity came. One morning, there were only a few students left in the classroom, including Panda and me. I walked towards him slowly thinking about how to make an apology. When I sat opposite him, he gave me a smile. Then I encouraged myself to open the mouth and said, “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have　...” To my surprise, Panda said, “What’s up?” Then he continued with a big smile, “We are good friends all the time, aren’t’t we?”

Maybe he had forgiven me; maybe he had forgotten that matter. However, it is certain that the ice between us has melted.
