The Gum Incident

On Tuesday, my friend and I were sitting on the benches outside during recess to eat. As we got up, she noticed that she had sat on gum and it was now stuck to the back of her jeans. She and I went upstairs to ask the people at the kanteen if they had any dishwashing soup, they didn't have any though they advised us to ice it. We were going to ask one of the teachers and on the way saw a science teacher and decided to ask them. She said that we'd need to apply heat to it. My friend said that she didn't have a laptop since she would have that teacher after recess, the teacher told her she needed one so we had to go to the library. In the library, the librarian told her that she should apply heat, as the science teacher said so. Once we got her laptop, she played volleyball while I attempted to scrape it off. At the time I didn't think of it as that gross, but thinking back, it had been in someone's mouth. By the end of recess I had make surprising progress and there was much less. But she and I had to go to our separate lessons. After school, I saw her at her locker and she told me she went to the nurse to get ice and once she iced it, it came off.

I think I displayed friendship by helping her get the gum off in the time I had with her.
