Once there was a girl in my class that I thought was beautiful and smart. I believed that she was perfect. When the time for my birthday came, I    56    her to my party, and she came.
A few months    57   , it was her birthday. I got a special scarf for her. Thinking about how happy she would be to receive my gift made me so    58 .
I asked her when her birthday party was going to be. She replied, "   59   do you want to know? You're not invited. You're just a dog with glasses !"
I felt really    60    when she said that. I just stood there looking at her. Everyone standing by her came to stand next to me. Then we all    61 .
That day, I figured out that even if someone looks perfect, there is a very good possibility that they aren't. When it comes to perfection, it's how someone treats you that is more 62 than how they look.
