I found out one time that doing a favor for someone could get you into a lot of trouble. I was 36 the eighth grade at the time, and we were having a final 37. During the test, the girl 38 next to me whispered something, but I didn't understand. So I leaned over her way and found out that she was trying to ask me 39 I had an extra pen. She showed me that 40 was out of ink and would not write. I happended to have an extra one, so I took it out of my pocket and put it on her desk. Later, after the test papers had been 41 the teacher asked me to 42 in the room when all the other students 43. As soon as we were alone, she began to talk to me 44 it meant to grow up; she mentioned how important it was to stand 45 your own two feet and be responsible for your own acts. For a long time, she talked about honesty and emphasized the fact 46 people do something dishonest, they are really 47 themselves. She made me promise that I would think 48 about all the things she had said and then she told me I could 49. I walked out of the room wondering 50 she had chosen to talk to me about all those things.

Later on, I found out that she thought I had cheated on the test. When she saw me lean over to talk to the girl next to me, it looked 51 I was copying answers 52 the girl's test paper. I tried to explain about the pen, but all she could say was it seemed very strange to her that I hadn't 53 anything about the pen the day she talked to me right after the test. 54 I tried to explain that I was just doing the girl a favor 55 he use my pen. I was sure she continued to believe that I had cheated on the test.
