1002 high 55 I was at the school and I saw a girl. She was very pretty and she had long hair. I liked her so much that I decided to ask her out. But when I got there, she was already with another boy. It broke my heart. I sat in my room and cried for hours. Then I went outside and saw a cat. The cat looked sad too. I felt sorry for it and gave it some food. After that, I felt better again. But then I remembered the girl. I thought about her all day long. That night, I wrote a letter to her. In the morning, I put the letter in her mailbox. The next day, I went to school early. I saw her walking toward me. She smiled at me and said "Hi!" We talked for a while and then she left. I was happy because she liked my note. But I didn't know if she would write back. I waited all day but no letter came. I felt disappointed again. Then I saw another girl who looked nice. I decided to talk to her instead. She laughed at something I said and seemed amused. That made me feel good about myself. So I stopped thinking about the first girl. By evening, I was ready for bed. But as soon as I lay down, I started missing her again. I told myself not to worry anymore. Still, every time I closed my eyes, I saw her face. Finally, I fell asleep. The next morning, I woke up early. I walked outside and saw the sun shining brightly. It reminded me of the girl's smile. I hoped she might come back soon. But until then, I had to live with my feelings. One day, maybe things will change. Until now, I keep hoping for a good old time again. The beginning grew out at second place.
