But while I was insulting her, my heart __8__ for the girl. I could see that the insults were making her look uglier, because she was so __9__ and alone. Then I wanted to __10__ her. I just didn’t know how to stop my schoolmates __11__ the night of our class roller-skating party.
Our whole class were there __12__ Amy. Amy didn’t know how to skate, but I could see how much she wanted to have __13__ like the rest of us.

On the school bus the next morning there was much __15__ about Amy and me skating together. But __16__ insulted her or me. And they didn’t for the rest of the year. I __17__ heard from Amy again after the school year. But I’ve always __18__ that I changed her life for the better. She changed my __19__. After becoming her friend, I no longer tried to impress people by trying to __20__ like them. I became myself.
