From the first week of high school, my best friend, Trisha, was always going out with the popular girls. __1__ I thought, “It's okay; she's just making new friends.” But soon I realized that Trisha wasn't interested in me anymore. I'd __2__ my best friend. It really hurt.
One day, I told Trisha that we should __3__ pretending (假装) to be friends when we really weren't anymore. I wasn't trying to make her mad, __4__ she was. After that, Trisha started talking about me behind my back, telling people that I was __5__. Some of our friends __6__ with her. I felt like she was taking them away from me.
The more I thought about it, the __7__ I got. Finally, I __8__ a picture of Trisha and drew lines on her face. I wrote, “I __9__ this person” across the bottom. And then I did something I'll always __10__： I put it on a website I thought was __11__. I thought people would see it, and it felt good to vent (发泄)．
A week later, Trisha's mom saw the __12__. She called my mom, who made me take it off the website right away. However, it was already too __13__. Lots of people had seen it, and I was in a lot of __14__.
That whole day, I felt __15__. I had to say sorry to Trisha face to face. She said she accepted my apology (道歉), but I felt she was __16__ angry with me.
Posting that picture was one of the worst __17__ I've ever made. I realize now I could have found a much better way to deal with my __18__. If I'd just told Trisha how much I __19__ her, maybe things would have turned out __20__. It's too late for me to change things, but I hope you'll learn from my mistake.
