Instead, I gave him a 22 of his own medicine. “Shall we teach Daniel a lesson?” I asked my buddies over lunch. “let?s 23 him out.” Once we started giving Daniel the 24 shoulder, almost everybod y was taking no notice of him. He looked so 25 , especially at lunchtime when he sat alone in the cafeteria. Now and then he nodded and said “hey” wh en 26 passed his table, but all he got in 27 were mean looks and silence. At first I was glad my plan had 28 , but as I looked at Daniel?s sad eyes, my conscience started gnawing at me.

I 33 have been so mean! When the bell finally rang and Daniel got up, I followed him int o the hallway. “Hey, man!” I called out. “I?m sorry. Daniel turned around 34 , clearly wanting to avoid eye contact. “Oh, s o you are talking to me now?” he asked. “I am upset that you?ve been pulling away from me.” I said. “What?” he nearly shouted. “I?v e left you alone because I thought that was what you wanted.” “Why would I want 35 ?” I asked, completely puzzled. “Lately I have felt a sort of immature compared to you,” Daniel said. “So I supposed that you wouldn?t want to hang out with me any more.”Apparently, we both had been 36 each other wrong. At first Daniel couldn?t accept my apology. He needed time to 37 all the hurt I?d caused him. But eventually, he did forgive me. We even started hanging out t ogether again. It makes me sad to think I d amaged our friendship. But thanks 38 Daniel?s willingness to forgive, it wasn?t 39 . I?m now careful not to jump to conc lusions about people.
