All he wanted was some juice. As high school students sat in a cafeteria on that cloudy afternoon, he was
36__. We sat near yet away from him, fixing our hair and
37__ about the test period we hadn’t studied for. He was far away from our world, but was

54
were very much alike, they both weren’t accepted. But just
55
