I truly learned what a best friend is in my
first year in high school. Kate and I were good friends and we were
inseparable. We spent every day together and always had a good 36
.
Then basketball started and we were on the 37
team. After a few games, 38 , Kate got moved up
to the Rose Cup full-time. I wouldn't admit it then, but actually I envied(嫉妒) her. Having 39 practice
times, we started to see less of each other. Soon I started to hear that she
was talking 40 my back.
One night, I called Kate to tell her about my new 41
.To my 42 , the next day at school she
told everyone I 43 her style
because she had told me she wanted to get hers cut like this. At noon
she handed me a letter and walked away 44 talking
with me. I couldn't accept the 45 words on the paper.
In great __46__ , I wrote right back to her.
Over the next week, we exchange(交换) more 47
notes. I cried myself to sleep every night, 48 our friendship
was over. One night my mom took me to Kate's home. Our moms looked at each
other 49 . Kate's mom asked us questions but __50 _
of us responded(反应) .At last
I let everything out. The huge burden in my mind was slowly lifted as we
each talked about ___51____ we were feeling. It was all out. Suddenly
Kate 52 from her seat, crossed the room and hugged me
with tears. I will never forget that.
It has been five months 53 we broke with each other. Last weekend we were out
together again. It makes me happy that we are 54 to care
about each other more. I now know that 55 I am asked about my friends, Kate will be at the top of
