clique

I am very disappointed with you two. You could have been more open-minded and anti-cliquish. You could have given those people a chance because they deserve it. "We don't really know them" is a lame excuse, because in the real world out there you have to learn how to deal and work with people whom you do not know initially. What, you think all the people in our class know each other when they formed their groups? We have the least number of group members, and we could accommodate two more. Tomorrow's the deadline of the submission of group members, and how could you sleep tonight knowing that there are two of our classmates still left hanging without a group? The three of us have tried to reason with you to give them a chance, but since when did the majority succumb to the power of the minority in decision-making? I feel so bad because I allowed this to happen. But we were just being very careful in arguing with you two because we also don't want our group to break apart. And what's more, our friendship is precious to us.

But still, I cannot take it that we rejected them for our own very selfish reasons. They humbled themselves greatly just so we would consider them to be in our group. They did their best to prove that they will not be free-loaders. They presented what they could do for the success of our project. They literally wooed us for about a week, and now this.

I know I didn't do my best to persuade you to give those guys a chance, because I knew you wouldn't listen anyway. See, there's already three of us for them and only two of you against them, yet you throw this tantrum to shut us up.

I wish those guys all the best in finding a group and in their project, and may not the Heavens punish us and put our grades at risk for being a bunch of egocentrics.
