Maha was in the ninth grade and a leader of her class. She was not only good in her studies, but also good at sports. Maha was smart and kind-hearted. Her parents were proud of her and she was well liked by everyone in her family and friends' circle. A new family moved to their neighbourhood and they had a daughter named Esha, who was the same age as Maha. Soon Maha and Esha became friends because they also studied in the same class and had common interests.
Esha was a clever student and was generally a nice person, but often she would become a little arrogant（傲慢的）. Esha's family was rich and she was rather proud of being rich. It was no wonder that Esha had a huge ego（自负） and it often showed itself in her behaviour.
When Maha and Esha started to hang out together, Maha noticed that Esha always liked to show off her wealth and lifestyle.
Maha also noticed, in the first week of their friendship, that Esha made fun of her classmates who were not rich and she would show off her expensive pens and other things to everyone. When her parents bought a new car, she sent a picture of the car in the group chat of her class.
Esha also made it a point to bring expensive make-up, bags and even a smartphone, which was not allowed, to the school. This behaviour, annoyed her classmates and they started calling her Miss Ego.
Maha warned Esha many times that she should stop making fun of others, but she never listened.
Maha decided to break her friendship with Esha because she was an arrogant person. When Esha got to know that Maha did not want to be friends with her anymore, she got mad and started making fun of Maha too.
This further frustrated Maha, so she decided to go to Esha's house and talk to her parents about this. Esha's parents listened to Maha and they felt ashamed about their daughter's behaviour. They told Maha that they were sorry for all the stupid things that Esha did. They then called Esha and made her sit with them.
