“We’ve been good friends for so
many years. And I don’t think you meant to do that ...” I said to myself, looking at Jack, my friend who was
running across the 36 field.
How I wish I could join them! But it was impossible
because of the pain in my left foot, caused by Jack.
I first met Jack in a football
match in the elementary school. When my team looked as if we were 37 , Jack, who was watching, volunteered to join
us. He was so confident and skilled that we won. From then on, Jack and I often
played together and became best friends.
But something happened before an
important football match between Class Six and my class. My class had so many
good players that we had to 38 the best ones.
Jack and I were in the same team. The match was close in the first
half. I saw my chance and was ready to score a goal. Suddenly, Jack 39 me. He slid to
stop the ball,
but collided with my left foot. I knew I had lost the chance to score and
was 40 the field. But
what really hurt me was that Jack didn’t say sorry. And when some of my
teammates said he did it on purpose to 41 me from scoring, I felt even 42 .
Now I stand here, with tears in my
eyes. I don’t want to 43 those words but
I don’t know how to persuade myself they are 44 . Then everything
changes when Jack scores and wins! How excited I am!
While I am still 45 in excitement, someone pats my
shoulder. It is Jack,
with a smile on his face. “I’m sorry that you can not join in because of
my 46 . But you see, Jason, we beat them! No matter whether you
joined in or not,
you’ve made a contribution. Come on, let’s celebrate!” Suddenly, I am 47 by the players.
The sunshine is so bright that I close my eyes. Riding high above my teammates, I feel so happy. And
I know the friendship between Jack and me will last forever.
