ONCE again, I was in new school. 36 was a girl in my class named Paris. That’s where the similarities 37 . I was tall and she was small. I was one of the 38 in the class while she was the youngest. I was awkward and shy. She wasn’t. I couldn’t stand her, considering her my 39 .
40 she wanted to be friends.
One day, she invited me 41 and I said yes I was too shocked to say no.42 no one had invited me over to play before.But this girl, who wore the 43 fashions, wanted to see me.She lived on the fourth floor in a two-room place with her mother, her stepfather, her two brothers and her sister- When we got to the room she shared with her sister, she took out a big case of Barbies which was my next 44 .I would have thought she’d outgrown them.I had 45 played with them.But we sat on the floor of a walk-in cupboard laughing as we 46 crazy stories about the Barbies.That’s when we found out that we both wanted to be 47 when we were older.We both had wild 48 .
We had a great day that afternoon.Our jaws (下巴) 49 from smiling so much.She showed me her 50 , which had mostly come from a designer clothing store (时装设计店) down the block.The woman who owned it used her as a 51 sometimes for her newspaper ads and gave her clothes in exchange.
Paris had the whole 52 charmed.The bookstore owners lent her fashion magazines, the 53__ gave her free passes and the pizza place let her have free pieces.Soon I was 54 in her magic world.We slept over at each other’s houses, spent every free moment together.My dark hair grew out and I learned to love being tall.
Paris, my first real friend since childhood, helped me get through the 55 teenage years and taught me an amazing and very surprising thing about making friends: your "worst enemy" can turn out to be your best friend.
