In Asa's eyes, Rodney Reeves was perfect. She had admired him from afar since the 6th grade. He seemed so nice to everyone and had the cutest smile. One day, she got the courage to write him a note to profess how much she liked him and how she wanted to get to know him better. Asa gave her note to her friend Stacy for delivery because Stacy had science class with Rodney. During lunch, Asa rushed into the lunchroom with high hopes and asked Stacy if Rodney had read her note. Stacy responded, "Yeah, he read it alright! Rodney read it aloud to his friends, had a good laugh, and then ripped it up. Don't waste your time with him." Shocked and heartbroken, Asa realized that her two-year crush had ended in disaster. "I didn't think that he could be so mean. I can't believe that anyone could be so mean." 4 If Asa were to write Rodney another note and slip it into his locker, he would most likely be A. sickened. B. appreciative. C. amused. D. flattered.
