Winning is a good thing, isn't it?

Everyone in first year is really excited about the big prize in the English essay competition - four months in France - and Alice has a good chance of winning.

Megan loves writing essays, but she doesn't want to win - go away for four months alone, no way! She doesn't want Alice to go either - why would anyone want to go abroad without her best friend?

But Alice seems determined to win ...

How much should you give up for your best friend?
