As sixth graders, kids were separating into groups, but I wasn't sure where I belonged.

    Our teacher gave us a task called "secret friends" for the coming week.We were supposed to do nice things  36  our friends without letting them know who was doing it.We could leave  37  notes or cards either on their desks or in their backpacks.Before doing the task, with our eyes closed, from a basket, we  38 a name of a classmate who we were to secretly befriend over the next five days.

    Soon, the task was turned into a competition of giving   39 instead of notes.Everyone was getting cool presents except me.My friend   40  what the teacher had told us without a fault.I received nothing but hand-made cards with nice words about me.

    On the last morning, I finally got a package.When I  41  it, the girls around all  42 .It was perfumed powder, an "old lady" gift.My face went red.

    I tried to forget about the  43  gift, but when the same girls  44  it again during the break in the bathroom, I joined in, "How stupid! My grandmother wouldn't  45 want it." The girls laughed at my  46  and filed out of the bathroom.Washing my hands, I let the water run through my fingers   47 I thought about my words.It wasn't  48  like me to say things like that.

    I was sick to my stomach as my  52  words ran through my mind.She had heard everything.How could I have been so cruel?

    Later I learned she had felt bad all week about not being able to leave me any cool present and her mum had given up her only luxury.

    And I had  53 everything for her.

    I told her that I had only said those things to try to  54  .

    "We aren't that different from each other, are we?" She smiled  55 .Her simple words, spoken from her heart, found their way straight into mine.
