Question

In my class, there was a really weak-looking guy. I don’t    know if his name was Vit or Wit. I will   him as Wit in this story of mine. He was a pale, thin guy. Not only his build looked weak, the way he   was also weak. He walked slowly but he tried to stay off of everyone’s way. The friends in my class, Jean and Ingrid,  would him. Truth to be told,

I   them as well. We did things like taking his stuff, like his pens and pencils, and   them somewhere in the school.

Wit was also really of insects, even butterfly. Jean, Ingrid, and I often put beetle on his clothes and he would run around, trying to it off. There were many beetles in the school so that was the   insect we used to scare him with. Other insects such as butterfly were hard to     so we pretty much gave up on it. We would often take the     when Wit was off-guard and put the insects on him.        it was on him, he would run around or jump about. He was too scared to       it and pull it off.

Suddenly one day, we were   by the school. When I walked into the room, Wit’s mother, as well as Ingrid’s mother, Jean’s father, and mine were     in the room silently. Wit’s mother said that Wit went home and       the sandbag shouting “Jean!!! Ingrid!!! Archer!!!”    every day. I wanted to laugh but didn’t with all the     she was putting on us .She asked many things, including things I had no idea about such as “Who put Wit’s bag in the girl toilet?” Apparently, it was Jean who did it. Jean seemed to have bullied Wit quite a lot and got quite a(n)      from Wit’s and her own mother.

I think it should have been quite guilty for    to see us scolded by the parents. However , we decided to stop bullying Wit and be friendly to him.
