It was a sunny day, which was very rare in England, so the boys took advantage of it. As they were walking out to go to the park and mess around for awhile Ringo noticed Maureen sitting alone with her back to them. He decided to say bye to her before he left but as he got closer he could hear her sobbing.

He sat down beside her and asked her what was wrong.

"Hurry up, Rings!" Yelled an impatient John.

"I'll just stay if it's alright, John."

"Softy." Muttered John.

"What was that you said!" Shouted Ringo.

"Nothing!" Replied John

John and the others left while Ringo resumed what he was doing before.

"Mo," this was the nickname that Ringo and the boys had given her. "Can you tell me what's wrong?"

She shook her head and said, "It's nothing, go have your fun."

"I'd much rather be with you." Said Ringo. He automatically regretted it, what if she guessed that he liked her.

"Okay Ringo, if you must know, I'm upset because I just got screamed at by our history teacher, he said that I'm just a worthless student and he...he...he..." She trailed off crying harder.

"What did he do?" Ringo said in a sympathetic, slightly angered tone of voice.

"He-said-that-he-would-raise-my-grades-if-I-do-him-special-favors." She told him in between sobs.
