(2025·南京玄武期中)It was my 14th birthday and I would have the biggest party. The number of the guests had quickly grown from seven to seventeen. Nearly every girl in my class was 1. When each guest excitedly took the invitation, I was especially happy.
The living room was full of shouts and laughter. We had just finished a game of Twister when the door bell rang. I was so 2 and I could feel my face turning red, because when I opened the door, there at the front door stood Sarah Westly—the quiet girl who sat next to me in music class—and she was holding a 3. I thought about the guest list. How did I 4 to invite Sarah?
I remembered that I only added a name to the 5 when someone was interested in me. But Sarah had 6 done that. I accepted the box, a gift from Sarah, and warmly led her into the sitting room. I invited her to join the party. “I can't 7,” she said. “My dad's waiting in the car.” At that moment I felt bad about forgetting to invite Sarah and 8 wanted her to rest for some time in my room. “Thanks a lot, but..., but I have to go,” she said, turning quickly towards the 9. “See you Monday.”
I didn't open the box until the party was over. Inside the small box was a ceramic(陶瓷) tabby cat. It was the 10 gift I had received though(尽管) I didn't like cats. I later found out that the gift looked just like Sarah's cat, Seymour. I didn't know it then, but now I realize that Sarah was my best friend.
