Hey, do you remember my birthday party that my friends had planned for me?

Yeah, I remember. You were so excited about it.

Yeah, but I feel terrible that I couldn't make it to the party. I know it meant a lot to my friends.

Why couldn't you make it?

I was studying for my final exams and I just couldn't afford to take the night off.

Ah, I see. I'm sorry you had to miss it.

Yeah, me too. I mean, my friends put in a lot of effort to make it special for me and they were really disappointed when I didn't show up.

Did you apologize to them?

Yeah, of course. I explained the situation to them and they understood, but I still feel bad.
