Writing exercise

Original

I have a friend, some classes she sits behind me. But I think she doesn’t know she smell not good. At first I didn’t know the flavour is from her but oneday we sit together I knew it’s her. I asked for her best friend S:”Do you smell the stink from her?” She says:”Yes,of course.l smelt long time ago!” “Are you ok?” “At first I felt too bad now l habit it but some time the stink made me headache and you are not the first one to ask for me.” I know why S never talk to her about the stink from her because if S says will hurt her. We all know so nobody tell her just bear.

Edited version

I have a friend who sits behind me during some classes . But I think she doesn’t know she smells bad. At first I didn’t know the smell was from her but one day we sat together and I knew it was her.

I asked her best friend S:”Did you smell her body odour?” She said :”Yes,of course. l smelt it a long time ago!” “Are you ok?” “At first I felt too bad, but now l am used to it.

But sometimes the stink gives me headaches and you are not the first one to ask me.” I know why S never talks to her about her smell.

It is because if S says it, it will hurt her. So we all know but nobody tells her, we just try to bear it.
