Read the passage:

Chester’s best friend Alfonso was standing out on the lawn calling his name. Chester didn’t want to have to tell Alfonso that he couldn’t come to the hockey game that afternoon. But his mother had told Chester that he had to stay home and clean his room and spend some time with his family.

Finally Chester walked outside. “I’m really sorry, Alfonso, but I can’t go,” he said, looking at the ground and kicking a stone.

“Oh man, Chester. That’s horrible. I was looking forward to this all week. Why do you always have to do so much stuff with your dumb family? I don’t!”

Chester blushed. “I know, but I don’t really mind. I haven’t seen my sister all week because she was on a college trip, and I want to hear how it went.”

Alfonso scowled at Chester. Then his face softened and he spoke. “Nah, man, that’s cool. I kind of wish my family would do stuff together. I’m always alone.” And he turned and ran off, waving back at his buddy.
