I (hope)                 (7) the other students (not, think)                                                           (8) I am weird.   I (write)

                                                                                                          (23) at me. I (get)                                    (24) nervous again.

Oh my gosh! One of them (come)                                   (25) this way! Stay calm, Rachel. She is not going to hurt you. She is just another girl like you, right?

Wait. Now she (hold)                                      (26) out her hand to me.  Does she (want)

                                    (27)   to be friends? What (she, do)                                                         (28)? Oh, I know! She (invite)                                                  (29) me to her table! Maybe I (be, not)
