Monday started out great. I woke up on time, ate breakfast and did some last minute studying for my first hour math ____1____. Ten minutes later, I sat by my friends on the bus. We were busily chatting about how we spent our ____2____ when, THUMP! Ryan ____3____ over someone’s foot and landed flat on his face in the passage between the two rows of seats.
Everyone on the bus laughed crazily. Ryan ____4____ himself up and made his way to an empty seat. He tried to laugh with us, but his face was bright red with ____5____. The rest of the morning flew by. I did well in my math test. I read two more chapters of To Kill a Mockingbird in English class. It wasn’t long before the ____6____ bell sounded. I met my friends from the cheerleading team in the dining hall. Then I couldn’t help but ____7____ Ryan a few tables over, sitting alone. He caught me looking. I smiled at him quickly and turned away.
When we finished eating, we ____8____ out to the courtyard to practise a cheer we wanted to do at that night’s football game. After a little ____9____, we nailed the cheer, so we decided we only needed to ____10____ through it one last time. Again, just like the rest of my day so far, the cheer was going great. I raised my leg ____11____ one last toe（脚趾） touch. RIIIPPP! I felt my jeans split down the middle of my backside.
I ____12____. I didn’t know what to do but stayed still. Then I heard people laughing, and I saw them pointing. Trying to ____13____ myself with my hands, I tried to ____14____ too, but I felt tears began to escape from my eyes. Then I saw Ryan walking toward me. I remembered earlier that morning when he had fallen and I had laughed at him. This would be his ____15____ to return the favor.
But he didn’t. ____16____, Ryan offered me his jacket to cover up my ____17____ jeans. He also offered me his phone so that I could call my mom to bring me some ____18____. I thanked Ryan for his help. And a few days later when I saw him again, I apologized for laughing at him on the bus. Ryan regarded it as no big deal, but my own ____19____ experience and Ryan’s kind response taught me about ____20____ for others. Thanks to Ryan, I can honestly say that Monday was still a great day!
