Question

【題目】

Winnie sat outside the Headmistress's office waiting to be called in. She wished she had not been caught down by the river at lunchtime. But it was too late now.

That morning, Winnie happened to be in the playground with a group of girls from the ninth grade. She liked hanging out with the older girls. She felt more important when she was with them. She especially admired Vicky. Vicky was always breaking the school rules, but somehow managed to get away with it.

Vicky told the group of girls she pinched a packet of cigarettes* from her dad's pocket. She invited them to follow her to the river at lunchtime for a smoke. They sat under the bridge and Vicky passed round the packet of cigarettes. Winnie had never smoked before. It tasted awful. The other girls started making fun of her. Then Vicky told Winnie to steal a packet of cigarettes from her dad and bring it to school for them to smoke. Winnie knew this was wrong but wanted so much to be part of the group. So she said they could count on her to bring a packet the next day.

Then, suddenly, before they could hide their cigarettes, Mr. Jackson, her class teacher was standing next to them. He was furious. Vicky threw the packet of cigarettes into Winnie and said, "She gave them to us. She stole them from her dad." But Mr. Jackson had seen and heard everything. He told them to go straight back to school and wait for him outside the Headmistress's office.

Now, sitting outside the Headmistress's office, Winnie knew she would be punished but in her heart she also knew the punishment was a stitch in time. She would never try another cigarette and would never again get mixed up with students like Vicky. Winnie was beginning to have second thoughts about Vicky. Because of Vicky, she was in trouble, too.

The door opened and Vicky came out. She was crying. Winnie had never seen Vicky cry before. She looked so different, so weak, so unimportant. In a flash Winnie realized Vicky was not a very nice person after all.
