Jane is seen as a proud girl by her peers in school. She hardly associates with anybody other than some casual exchange of pleasantries in the morning when she arrives. This has made her to have few or no friends at all.
She is also seen as one of the best in her class. Whenever any class test is given she usually emerges as one of the best to solve them. This, coupled with her introvert behaviour has made her a popular figure both in the class and the school generally.
But in all these, Jane managed to make just a friend - Clara who was transferred from another school. When Clara came initially, both were seen as direct rivals in the class because each of them usually answer questions asked in class. So an incident happened on day when both of them gave the answer albeit wrongly, simultaneously in class. Everyone laughed at them when the teacher said the answer was wrong.
After the class, Clara went to over to Jane and told her that she was not convinced with tht teacher's answer given in class. After discussions both became friends. Clara scribbled something on paper and handed over to Jane saying Text me whenever you want to do your private studies Clara said. I would like us to be reading together. Reluctantly Jane agreed and both exchanged contacts same day. Everyone in the class was surprised that Jane of all persons can work with a fellow classmate.
