The autumn leaves crunched under Mia’s boots as she hurried through Maple Park, the golden afternoon light filtering through the oak trees. She tightened her grip on the paper bag holding Lucy’s favourite blueberry muffins from Dan’s Bakery. It was her birthday, but she still remembered the argument yesterday.
At school, Lucy had shouted at her: “You ____1____ forgot our project meeting! Again!” Her words hurt her harder than the November wind.
Mia had tried to explain: “My little sister was sick. My mom was in LA and I had to…”
“ ____2____ , everyone has excuses,” Lucy cut in, her school bag hitting the door as she turned and walked away.
Now, getting closer to their usual meeting place by the duck pond, Min ____3____ Lucy already there, mechanically throwing breadcrumbs to the ducklings. Her shoulders were hunched like they always were when she was unhappy.
“Hey,” Mia said, placing the muffins between them. “I brought peace offerings.”
Lucy eyed the bag but didn’t smile. “You know what made m ____4____ ? It’s not that you missed the meeting. It’s that you didn’t even call or text.”
A gust of wind sent orange leaves swirling around them. Mia ____5____ her miss. “I was so busy with my sister’s fever that my phone had been unnoticed.”
“You’re right,” she added, watching a mother duck herd her ducklings toward the water. “I should have found a way to ____6____ you. I was just… I am so sorry.”
Lucy sighed breaking a muffin in half. The smell of warm blueberries mixed with the earthy scent of fallen leaves. “I overreacted too. My dad’s lost his job, and I’ve been ____7____ over everything lately.”
Mia’s eyes widened. “Why didn’t you tell me?”
“Same ____8____ you didn’t tell me about your sister, I guess,” Lucy said, “We were always, you know, laughing around. I didn’t want to worry you.”
At that moment, the church bells from St. Mary’s across the park began chiming 4 PM. Mia held up the remaining muffin toward Lucy. “Happy Birthday. And from now on, shall we promise to share the ____9____ stuff too?”
“Lucy finally smiled with muffin in her mouth. “Deal! But only if you try this muffin. They’re _____10_____ good as last year’s!”
