One day at school, something strange caught Ann's attention. Lily (quick) put a bag in her own desk, making Ann feel unusual. Later, she saw Lily secretly give something Cindy under the desk. It seemed that they decided (do) something without her. Ann thought, "How can my best friend plan something without inviting me?" Even though they were still (friend) to her, she was a little upset.
On the bus ride home, Ann avoided (sit) next to Lily on purpose. She noticed Lily giving an envelope to someone else, which made her even more upset.
Later that evening, there was knock on Ann's door. There stood Cindy from next door, inviting her to Lily's party. first, Ann didn't want to go and said no to her, explaining that they were no (long) friends. But Cindy kept asking Ann to come along.
When they arrived at Lily's house, everyone shouted, "Surprise!" Ann hardly (believe) that. Lily smiled and said, "Tomorrow is your birthday!" Ann was moved that tears filled her eyes. She said thanks and hugged Lily.
