The Friend Who Never Replies

My best friend is called Tom. We met at school five years ago. He is a very nice and funny man.

Last week, I sent him a long message. I asked if he wanted to eat pizza on Friday. I also told him about my new job.

Tom did not answer my message. I waited for two days, but he was silent. I felt a little sad and confused.

I called his phone number three times. The machine picked up every time. I thought maybe he was very busy at work.

Yesterday, I saw Tom in the park. He looked happy and healthy. He did not remember our conversation at all.
