About five years ago I began to study at a new school, when my family moved to Iowa. I was just a little 1 ,wondering whether I could get on well with my classmates.

My teacher made us 6 next to each other for the last term. Lucy was not happy. However, I kept 7 at her, though she rolled her eyes, and I kept telling her that she was beautiful.
Finally, Lucy let me 8 to her, even when her friends were around. She ___9___ telling me how beautiful I looked. I still remember the ___10___ time when she smiled at me and said that, and I smiled right back, saying 11 to her.
