My heart went out to him. So,I jogged (慢跑) 8       to him,and as he crawled around looking for his glasses,I saw tears in his eyes.

I asked him if he wanted to play football on Saturday with me and my friends. He said yes. We hung all 16        and the more I got to know Kyle,the more I liked him. And my friends thought the 17        of him. Monday morning came,and there was Kyle with the huge 18        of books again. I stopped him and said , " Damn boy,you are gonna really 19        some serious muscles with this pile of books everyday!". He just laughed and 20        me half the books.
