Tonight was the worst night never! I went to a party at a friend's house. It's winter, but I stayed outside because it was too hot inside. Be inside the house felt like to be in a sauna, but Sarah was in the living room, so I headed that way. We were talking and she noticed that I was sweating. She probably thought I was nervous to talking to her and thought it was sweet. In reality, I was about to passing out because I was wearing four T-shirts and two long shirts under my wool sweater! She touched my arm and asked me how much layers I was wearing. I made some excuse and left the room in a hurry.

"Abandon ship, abandon ship!" I told myself. I ran to the bathroom. My arms were heavy as I pulled on the shirts; just lift it exhausted me. I had to stop and rest. I slowly (A)put on all the shirts and hide it in the closet. I put my sweater back on without anything under it. Relieving of the weight of all those layers I'd been wearing, I felt lightly and freely again. (가)갑자기 내가 파티에서 실제로 어떻게 보였는지를 깨달았다 - a sad ball of clothing.

Oops! (가)내가 지난 밤 파티에 내 옷들을 두고 왔다는 것을 순간 깨달았다. That's okay, because of my days of wearing extra layers is finally over. (나)만약 Sarah가 “더 커 보이는” 나와 사랑에 빠졌다면, 그녀는 더 이상 나를 좋아하지 않을 것이다. as soon as she found out I was faking it. Besides, winter isn't going to be lasted forever, and I can't wear as many layers in the spring.
