The boy who capture her heart like a thief. The picture reminisce about her happy romantic days with him.she take a album from the table beside the sofa. Flipping each photo of their memories. Each photo shows her best days in her school life.she still remember how they meet which cause a smile in her red lips,she was walking in corridor and admiring the dolphin keychain she brought, she love blue colour but someone clashed with her and the dolphin fall down breaking.She was stunned then came to sense when someone tap her shoulder and say sorry when she look to see the accused person she feels like she forget to move ,a blue pair of eye that shows apologies and it make her nod her without knowing.she just feel she can't breathe and ran away from him without looking back.she just shake her head to not to remember that days.she take a album from her table beside her sofa .she flip through each photo and each photo shows thier loving memories and experience in thier high school f days.Suddenly a drop of water fall on the last picture where she kiss him on cheeks.when she touch her cheek,she can feel her tears falling.she missess him a lot.

I loved the story but you need to write in paragraphs so it is easy to read and understand, and also write the dialogues in quotes. Good job👍👍👍
