Girl X and girl Y were in the element school. One day, they naively promised :"We will be together forever." Then they studied really hard together and both got into the same key middle school. Girl Y have a rich family. Girl X's family is not very rich, her family didn't have enough money to offer her private high school tuition. (Chinese government offer 12 years free education system, but good private high schools require tuition fee).
As the time passed, Y started to understand the society, learned how to dress up, how to straight hair. X just liked to silently follow Y. Finally, Y got into the really good private high school. But X got into a non-private high school due to her family cannot offer the tuition. X was really sad and Y felt really sorry about her. In high school years, X worked super hard because the chance to get full scolarship depended on how good her grades were. Y enjoyed her high school year, she started dating with her boyfriend and her grades droped. X tried to save as much money as possible for her college, thus she was always wearing the same clothes. Y started to realize that X's family was not rich, so she tried to keep away from X because she didn't want her rich friends to know that she had a friend like X before. Little by little, Y forgot the face of X and the promise they made.
After three years, Y's grade was not good enough to get in that college. She let her father use money to beg the president of college. Next week, Y got accpted from that college. On the other side, X finally got the full scolarship from the college that Y tried to get in. She was so excited and can't wait to tell Y. X asked her parents to buy her a new clothes. X never asked her parents for anything since she found out that her mom had been suffered from illness and didn't have enough money to pay for the treatment. Her mom gave her five bucks from her thin wallet.
X happily ran to Y's condo with her new shirt. X waited outside of her door and wanted to tell her this huge suprise. X was so happy that they can be together again. X recalled the time they spent together; the road they walked together; the song they sang together; the Origami they made together. Finally, she heard the sound of the opening of the door. while Y walked out of the door, X jumped out and surprised her: " Hi, Y. Long time no see." Y numbed for a while, she looked at her face, said: " Who are you?"
Reailty is always cruel. Money is the final scale for everything. Best friends, promises, loves, even your honour would all fall apart in front of money. This is reality.
