During their final year at school they dated.
They got on really well. During the week they often spent time drinking chocolate milkshakes in the café between school and their bus stop. It was sad for both of them when her family moved to another town. She began as a trainee hairdresser while he considered studying chemistry, but decided it would be too much effort. He left home, got a couple of part time jobs that didn’t work out and ended up homeless, sleeping rough. Despite this he managed to keep in touch for a while, but this gradually dropped off.
Five years later, she was back in her old town, where she’d been visiting an old school friend. She was on her way back to the carpark when she saw him across the street. He was sitting in the doorway of a closed-down shop with a cap in front of him, waiting for loose change. She was really shaken by the sight of him sitting there, begging. She had a thought. She had time…
He was almost dozing when he heard something drop in front of him. His cap had something in it. He leant forward and picked it up. It was a paper bag containing one hundred dollars in tens, with a note. It read: Hi, I spotted you today. I knew you when you looked better. I hope things look up for you. Use the money wisely. Buy yourself a chocolate milkshake, maybe? Pay me back when you can. I hope you still have my email address.
It was signed: Your girlfriend from our last year at school.
His face lit up when he read it. He looked around, but she was nowhere to be seen. He was shaken by the thought that he had sunk so low in just five years. He thought about the idea of turning his life around, that would be wonderful, he thought.
Thanks for another informative blog. Where else could I get that type of information written in such a perfect way? I have a project that I am just now working on, and I have been on the look out for such information.
You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be really something that I think I would never understand. It seems too complex and very broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I’ll try to get the hang of it!

Today, I went to the beach front with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!
