I learn to be a better person

End you essay with “I learn to be a better person.”

I screamed hysterically while clutching my stomach after we exit the school hall. It was such a scene as she was called up onto the stage and was accused of stealing people's belonging out of their bags or in their table's drawer, in front of the whole school.

For the last few days, people's belonging had been mysterically dissapear out of their every place they could possibly have been in. Of course, no one knew where they could have been in except me, Tyler Cross, the greatest stealthiest thief in the world! I am the only one who could have stolen those things and it is impossible for that Eleanor Sparrow to do all that.

She is practically the clumsiest person in the world. Everytime I saw her, she will be either picking up the books from the floor which she had unintentionally drop or being scold and insulted by them whom she also unintentionally hit when walking around the school compound. But they do not know that, to my advantage. During recess, I saw her ran out of the headmaster's office, crying like there's no tomorrow. Her hot tears streaming down her delicate face and her side bangs fell to the front of her face messily, hindering her sight. Then, she murmur to herself, saying that she had pleaded again and again that she did not steal other people belongings, but it was to no avail.

She jolted out of her thoughts in her own thinking world when I went up to her and pushed her down roughly against the wall. She look up and glare at me. If looks could kill, I would be possibly dead at that moment by then.

Suddenly, her ear piercing voice almost deaf my ear when she scream at my face. While she was busy screaming, sobbing and hiccuping and forming coherent words, saying I was a pussy for not admiting my wrong doings and all, I only stand still while grinning maniacally at her.

“I know you did it Tyler Cross.” She screamed, her face tomato red and sticky with salty tears. “I saw you stole their things so you accused me?! Get a life and stop trying to ruin other people's life!” I stop grinning, shocked at the impact of what I had done.

I had not realised that she could get expelled, what with her impeccable record and all, but I saw it now. “Whose life have I ruined? Not mine not of anyone else of significance and importance.” I told her with my words filled with venom.

She open her mouth in shock and horror. Then, she continue to rant. I was getting impatient so I just walk away from her to the canteen, determined to get some food before the recess is over.

When she noticed I am out of her sight, I heard she sigh and said “You are hopeless and pathetic Tyler, but I hope you are happy now. You have a chance of coming first this year than the mandatory second you always come when I'm there. The only good thing about being expelled is that I will not have to see you again.”

Guilt started to washed over me and I feel very sorry to her for what I had done. When I thought of turning back and tell her that I am sorry for being such an idiot and horrible person, she was gone.

'You got her expelled for what you did!' my conscience screamed inside me. This was rather a new feeling to me as I had always boasted that I had no conscience. I felt that what I have done must be really wrong that I gave birth to a conscience and that too is a really strong one. I started to walk towards the headmaster office to confess, led by my guilt.

After the school ends, I went up to her to apologize to her and also tell her that she will no longer be expelled. “Thanks Tyler” she said. “It was the right thing to do.” I sighed and decided to leave. I didn't want to hear her speech she had for me for I still have my man pride. When I started to walk to the opposite direction, I heard she say “I forgive you, Tyler.”

Although that appeased my guilt a bit I still turned and said despairingly to her, “What difference will that make? I'm still expelled, aren't I?” “Not if I can help.” she said and started walking to the headmaster's office as I stared at her amazedly after her retreating back. Since then, I learn to be a better person.
