 　　She was beautiful. She had a big smile and pretty teeth. I want to be her boyfriend¹, Mark thought. One day he saw her alone in a restaurant. She was eating fries and a burger. He wanted to join her. But he couldn't just sit down. That might be too forward. He bought two sodas³. He went over to her table. "Hi," he said. "They just gave me a free soda². I can't drink two sodas. Can I offer this one to you?" She smiled and said thank you. "Won't you have a seat?" she said. He thanked her and sat down. "I'm Mark. You're very pretty," he said. She said, "Thank you. I'm Jenny. You're not so bad yourself. Do you have a girlfriend?" He said no. His heart raced. Oh boy, she wants to be my girlfriend, Mark thought. "My best friend doesn't have a boyfriend," Jenny said.
