Is the “white lie”really “white”?

“Did you lie to me?” Mandy stared at me angrily.

“Uh..em..I just..”I bowed my head and dared not to look at her.

“Until today, you have been my very trusted person. But today you disappointed me too much.”Her eyes were red around, and then she turned and ran away.I did not follow her. I just stayed in place and gazed at the two test papers lying on the ground.

Last week,we had an important English test. Before this test,Mandy said to me :“I have been in the cram school recently, and I will definitely surpass you this time! You must answer seriously, don't look down on me!" I nodded seriously and then during the exam I checked many times.

As soon as the quiz reports were handed out, I checked my scores at one and it turned out I got a pretty nice score. But I found that she was keeping her head down and said nothing. I immediately realized that she might not have a good score as she expected. She had always been a very proud person. If she found out my scores were higher than hers, she would be extremely sad. I cherished our friendship so much, so I decided to keep my scores as a secret...

“How many scores did you get? I didn't do well in the exam. It was just over 80 points.”I came to her desk and pretended to be frustrated. She looked up with read eyes, and talked to me in surprise: "I also didn’t do well. I thought your score would be very high. ”I was a little flustered, but still said:“ Yeah ... I feel that this test was a little difficult. ”“ Really?"" O...Of course..."I lied to her and I believed this was a very nice “white lie”.

"I still think we should discuss our test ...”She wanted to get my test paper,I quickly swept away the test paper,she looked at me in a puzzle "Why did you sweep it away?” When I was just about to explain, there was a gust of wind and the test paper was blown open. On the test paper there was red 94.

We didn't speak for a while. She asked me why I humiliated her in this way. I couldn’t think up an appropriate reason. She ran away with red eyes. I was stunned, and I felt very self-reproaching: What I thought as "white lie" turned out to be a shame for her.

After this, although she was still playing with me. But she never talked about scores and discussed questions with me. This also made me understand that sometimes the relationship between friends does not need to be maintained by so-called "white lie". And the way of treating each other honestly will better gain the trust of others.
