Charles and I used to hang out all the time , together with a few other guys , but he seemed too cool for us lately . We couldn’t understand the 36 , and we didn’t ask him for an explanation . 37 , we decided to 38 him a lesson in the way he treated us .
Once we started giving Charles the 39 shoulder , almost everybody was taking no notice of him . He looked so 40 , especially at lunchtime when he sat alone in the cafeteria . Now and then he nodded and said , “Hey!” when 41 passed his table , but all he got 42 return were mean looks and silence .
At first I was glad my plan had 43 , but Charles’ unhappiness made me upset . I only wanted him to know 44 it felt like to be blown off , but I hadn’t thought about how badly my “l(fā)esson” would 45 him .
During one lunch period, I 46 as Charles repeatedly glanced at his watch , obviously 47 the minutes until he could leave the cafeteria . I suddenly realized I had done wrong .
“Hey ! man . I’m terribly sorry.” I called out .
Charles turned around 48 , clearly wanting to avoid eye contact .
“Oh, so you are talking to me now ?” he asked .
“I’m so sorry , 49 I had thought that you wanted to end our friendship.” I said .
“What?” he nearly shouted , looking much 50 . “I’ve left you alone because I thought that was what you wanted.”
“Oh, my God ! Why would I want 51 ?” I shouted , completely puzzled .
Clearly , we both had been 52 each other wrong .
At first Charles couldn’t accept my 53 . I knew he needed time to 54 all the hurt I’d caused him . But eventually , he did forgive me . We even started hanging out together 55 . And our friendship wasn’t destroyed at all .
