There was a vote on QQ zone that do you remember you first desk mate.
53% people voted that they didn’t remember at all. Only 22% people voted that they still remember them. I belong to the latter.
When I was in Grade 1, I was not good at writing. As I wrote the words so slowly, I often was one of the last several kids to hand in the schoolwork.
My first desk mate was a boy, with thick eyebrow, dark eyes and dark skin. He was a little weird when he talked or did something. And he wrote
slowly, too.
One day, on the last class, the teacher let us to write some words. When
we took the better part of the time, most of kids had hand in their
schoolwork, my desk mate and I hadn’t finished.
I glanced at his workbook. The schoolwork he had finished was more than mine. I didn’t want to be the last one, so I said to him ‘Hi, let’s have a
competition.’ He answered slowly ‘For what?’ I said ‘Who is slower.’ ‘OK!’
he replied happily. He slowed down, mean while I wrote faster and faster.
Finally I had finished my schoolwork. When I stood up and said ‘Done’,
looking at him as a winner, he learned my trick and shouted ‘You lied.’
