One evening，I stayed after school to rearrange my classroom．5 ，I turned out the light and closed the door．Then I 6 toward the gate．It was 7 ! I looked around．Everyone had gone home．
After 8 all the exits，I found just enough 9 to squeeze under a gate in the back of the school．Then I walked toward my car，parked in a field behind the building．
Suddenly I heard voices．I 10 around and saw at least eight boys following me．11 my pace，I reached into my shoulder bag to get my key．I 12 all over the inside of my handbag．But the key wasn't 13 ! Dear Lord，please help me，I prayed 14 ．Suddenly，my fingers touched a loose key in my purse．I didn't even know if it was for my car，but I took it out and 15 it．It worked!
I opened the door，slid in and locked it—just 16 the teenagers surrounded the car．Trembling，I started the engine and 17 away．When I returned to my apartment，the phone was ringing．It was my Dad．I didn't tell him about my experience； I didn't want to 18 him．“Oh，I forgot to tell you! ” He said，“I had a(n) 19 car key made and slipped it into your purse—just 20 you ever need it．”
