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.
