ride on a bicycle,  but not __1__. I had a severe spinal cord disorder(脊髓病) and I knew I would
always be much __2__ than others.
I hated going to school and I hated people __3__ at me. I hated seeing others smiling broadly and

My friends found me __6__ because I didn't let others get close to me. I thought I was going to

That afternoon,  I was sitting by myself in a corner of the school-a spot where no one would __8__
me. That's when I first heard her voice.
"Hi. Can I sit down?"
I raised my head and there she was,  with an irresistible smile on her round face.
"What are you looking at?" she asked.
"Ants."
"What are they doing?"
"No __9__."
"I bet they're playing games and making friends. Don't you think so?"

ants,  the clouds,  my little niche(处境)-until it was sunset.
Then suddenly,  she saw my __11__. She just stared.
My heart __12__. What I feared most had happened and I knew for sure she would __13__ me
