I was walking home from school when I saw a girl who looked exactly like my friend. Naturally, I got excited and ran over to say hi. Unfortunately, when she turned around, I realized she wasn’t my friend at all. I felt a bit embarrassed. But luckily, the girl laughed and said it happens to her a lot.
