I know there are a lot of grammar errors in this but never took the time to correct it. I just want to show you this story...
Walking down the train tracks, on a cool fall day three years ago on my way home from high school. I saw a girl slowly walking down the same path I was. I walked up to her just to say hello, since I was in a friendly mood that day. The girl has to be around 15 to 16 years old, baby blue eyes and short red hair. When she said "hi" back in reply she had a smile on her face, likely she was thinking about something before I came to her. Her name was Kasey, with a 'k'. She lives only a few blocks from where I live. Not also did her path home crossed with mine but she went to the same high school as me.
While walking we were talking about school, our friends and family, and mostly just small talk. However she talked a lot about her boyfriend. Saying that she couldn't wait to meet him when she gets home. How they both met and fell in love, what they have done and their plans to do in the future. She even showed me a picture of them together. I thought to myself that these two make a cute couple. Kasey and I came our separate ways when she came to her house. Later that evening at home I talked to a good friend on the phone. I was telling him about Kasey and her constant talk about her boyfriend. My friend knew who Kasey was and told me that her boyfriend that she's obsessed with has been dead for almost three months now. He had a sudden illness and was taken to hospital where he stayed for a week and died not soon after. Kasey was so devastated that she wasn't the same afterwards. She barely slept, eaten or talked to anyone for a couple of weeks, and then she started acting or pretending as if he was still alive. Everyone around her tried to talk her out of it from friends to family, but she never listened.
The next day, after school on my way home I ran into Kasey. I told her, "You know your boyfriend's passed away for some time right?" She replied laughing, "What are you talking about?" I told her about his illness, she said he almost came close to death but survived. Whatever I would tell the girl about her lover's death and convinced her that he was dead, she would deny it in some way. Kasey was eventually upset of me talking about his death and said I was a bold-faced liar. For the rest of the walk she ignored me and didn't talk to me ever since. I found out from my friend that her and her family's moving out of state. Maybe it's just their way of getting Kasey to let go of the past. Three years have past by and I still wondered and hope for her sake she moved on. Last week I got a call from my friend said that she has a new boyfriend. The weird thing about it is she keeps calling him by the same name of her dead ex. My friend e-mailed me a picture of them and the guy even looks like a spitting image of him. I bet she still thinks it's the same guy. Since then, I still worry about that poor girl...
