(2023·安徽省皖豫名校联盟高二阶段检测)For my fourteenth birthday, my mom offered to take me and my several friends to the city nearest our small town to visit a mall, go shopping, eat pizza in the food court, and then watch a movie. Afterwards, we would all return to my house for a party. It was just the kind of celebration that a teenage girl expected.
When it was time to climb aboard the bus and ride together to my home out in the country, Nora didn't show up. I felt confused. Then I felt mad. Why didn't she tell me she couldn't make it? Why would she tell me she'd come to the party and then back out without letting me know? I decided to call Nora and get some answers.
Nora explained that she'd had to stay home from school because she had gotten sick. She couldn't ride the bus home with me and my other friends or join us at the shopping mall for food-court pizza and a movie because she had been too sick to come to school.
Nora began crying on the phone, hurt and surprised that I was angry with her. Moments later, her mother called back. Angrily, she told me how much I'd hurt her daughter, how much Nora had wanted to join us, and that she had been the one to change Nora's plans because she didn't allow her to go to school sick that day.
I seldom gave Nora or her absence from our festivities another thought. At school on Monday, I found it easy to avoid her since she and I had no classes together. For the rest of the school year, we seldom spoke, and I forgot about my hurtful call with Nora as time went by.
The next year I started at the high school, with twice as many students as my middle school. I made some new friends and kept some old ones. Maybe I glanced at Nora with a small smile once in a while as we passed in the halls, but our friendship had been relegated (使降级) to the past. It happened sometimes, and I shrugged it off (不予理睬).
