    I sat in the same seat every day on the school bus, just in front of Jessica and Cory. One day, they asked to see my lunch box. “Wow, it’s really cool,” they said. I couldn’t _______ the two ninth graders liked me that much. They returned my lunch box and thanked me for letting them see it. “Oh, my pleasure,” I said, filled with _______ both inside and out.

When I opened my box at noon, my lunch was gone. The empty box seemed to be _______ at me. I never even tried to think of another possibility. In one single moment, everything made such a painful _______. They were never interested in me, they were not my friends, and this whole time I was some kind of _______ to them. I felt like a fool.

It was Jessica. I turned around and ________ a slight smile. “Look,” she said, “I’m so sorry about the lunch thing.
