The next day at morning________ we saw him on the playground without saying anything, but we made eye________. A few days went by and it________ a lot that he had stopped to say hello to us as he rode by on his orange bike. No one from our new school had________ made an effort to befriend us, and we were shy and didn't know how to________ out.

Our new friend made a considerable effort to________ us. He started asking us to go on bike rides around the neighborhood. We slowly started meeting other kids in the neighborhood and________ that some of them went to our school.

The following year, when I went off to middle school, I remembered how________ I felt not knowing anyone. I made it a point to look for the________and shy kids in my classes. Our new friend had shown us how to use________ toward a new kid. Now my brother and I wanted to reach out to others.
