was so bad I almost threw up, but I just told myself to think about the good time I _42._ that night. Then, I got a call from my
friend who said she couldn’t make it to the movie because she had to work late. I told her it was fine, but in my mind I was thinking,
“There goes my Friday night!”
Just as I was thinking that, I heard someone calling my name. At first, I didn’t recognize the person. Then I saw it was a man
I _43._ with. We used to do everything together when we were kids, but after my family moved out of that neighborhood, we
lost touch. I was happy and surprised to see him, and he was, too. I asked if he had any plans and he didn’t, so we decided to have
dinner together. That was the start of a great new friendship, _44._. Thanks to that bus ride, I don’t hate taking a bus
anymore.

Dear Mr. Trask,
My name is Erica Baker, and _45._. I found it on the sidewalk outside my apartment building this morning. As soon as I
picked it up, I looked inside to see if anything was missing, and I’m sorry to have to tell you that there was. _46._ However,
the good news is your ID and credit cards are just fine. Also, I tried to find something with your phone number on it so I could call
you, but I didn’t have any luck. Just when I was about to give up, I found a card with your e-mail address on it. I have a feeling
you will be wanting your wallet back, _47._.
Sincerely,
Erica Baker

1. Dear Angie,
I just started my first year of junior high school, and so far it’s been a nightmare. The other kids make fun of my hair, the
clothes I wear, and the way I walk and talk. They seem so different from me, and I feel like I don’t belong there. I was thinking I
could get a new haircut. It could be something like what the fashionable girls have. Also, I could learn to walk and talk like them.
However, the clothes are going to be a problem because my parents don’t really make a lot of money and I don’t want to ask them to
buy newer and more expensive ones. I’m dying to fit in and make some friends at school. Can you help me?

Dear Odd Girl Out,
Having friends is an important part of growing up and of life. However, the ones you get as a result of peer pressure are not
good for you. My advice to you is to be happy and just be yourself. You shouldn’t change who you are for others in the hope that
they will like you. Instead, find someone who is more like you and likes you, and make him or her your friend.
