Molly started to hang out with a new group of people and was growing very popular. We   35   less time together, and we even   36   talked on the phone. At school, sometimes I tried to   37   her, but one of her new friends would come up and Molly would just   38   away with her, leaving me alone. It hurt.

I was confused about   39   I should give her a phone call. To my   40  , when it was just the two of us talking on the   41  , we were friends again. It was the old Molly.

We talked for a long time, and I felt as if I had lifted a heavy weight   44   my heart. We both wanted to be with our new friends, but we would never   45   the fun and friendship we had shared with each other.
