   3    (student) talking and laughing, I felt heart-broken. I couldnt talk with anyone about my problems. Then one day, when my classmates were talking   4   (happy), I was sitting at my desk unhappily   5    usual. At that moment, a boy came in. I didnt know him. He passed by me and then turned back.
