He came up and asked me nervously,“Can you sign this?”I took his yearbook but I didn't know 4 to write．I saw that there was the name“Ricky Sanders”written on the front of it．So I wrote：

It took him nearly five minutes to sign and when I got my yearbook back, there was a very shaky“RICKY”．He hugged(紧抱)his yearbook and 8 ．I couldn't help but smile back at him．
In that moment, my 9 changed completely．
I gave him a high five and suddenly everyone at my table wanted his signature．He was asked politely to write in their yearbooks and the signature 10 of his yearbook were filled up．He was smiling so big that it lit up the whole room．
I changed school the next year, and I never saw Ricky again．However, I will never forget the day that he became the most 11 guy in school．Whenever I'm 12 , I still look back at that yearbook．
