Once we started giving Charles the  4 shoulder, almost everyone was taking no notice of him．He looked so  5  , especially at lunchtime when he sat alone in the cafeteria．Now and then he nodded and said, “Hey!” when  6  passed his table, but all he got  7  return were mean looks and silence．

During one lunch period, Charles  11  glanced at his watch, obviously 12   the minutes until he could leave the cafeteria．I suddenly realized I had done wrong．“Hey! Man．I’m terribly sorry．” I called out．“Oh, so you are talking to me now?” he asked．

“I’m sorry,   13  I had thought that you wanted to end our   14  ．” I said．

“What?” he nearly shouted, looking much   15 ．

“I’ve left you alone because I thought that was what you wanted．”

“Oh, my God! Why would I want  16  ?” He shouted, completely puzzled．

Clearly, we both had been  17  each other wrong．At first Charles couldn’t accept my  18 ．I knew he needed time to   19 all the hurt I’d caused him．But eventually, he did forgive me．We even started   20   out together again．And our friendship wasn’t destroyed at all．
