I have to write a story and each setence must start with a new letter of the ABC's....

A life with love is something never to be wasted or taken for granted.  Ben couldn’t wait to leave high school and make something of himself.  Caitlyn just wanted to get into a good college.  Different were Caitlyn and Ben, yet their paths constantly crossed at school. Each one looked away from the other when they passed each other, feeling as if they weren’t good enough for each other.  For now Caitlyn’s nose will stay buried in her book, and Ben’s headphones in his ears.  Guided by a loose piece of paper that flew from her notebook, Caitlyn runs across the quad chasing her notes. Hopping from foot to foot Ben stands waiting to be picked up by his brother.  In a chance of fate Caitlyn’s notes get stuck under Ben’s shoe.  Jetting for her notes, that were her ticket into college, Caitlyn doesn’t realize who is standing on her notes. Kneeling down Ben grabs the paper from under his ripped skate shoes. Looking up Ben makes eye contact with Caitlyn.  Millenniums seem to pass by as Ben hands the paper to Caitlyn, taking out his headphones when only seconds have passed. Neither student would realize their lives were going to change. Over the months of high school ending and graduation, Caitlyn and Ben became close.  Prom was uneventful for both of them so they left early and went formal mini-golfing instead.  Quickly they went from friends to much more.  Remembering their summer together Caitlyn packed her room for college in Rhode Island while Ben had to go to Michigan for school.  She left first and cried on Ben’s shoulder while hugging him tight. They couldn’t keep their relationship together and both were devastated, he only broke up with her for her own good. Utah six years later and both are at a concert; he still listens to the same music and she listens to it because it reminds her of him. Various bands and artists preform all day long at the festival and both don’t see the other.  Wandering around looking for the friends she came with Caitlyn bumps into someone familiar, Ben. Xavier stands to the side with Pete a smile on both of their faces. Years after this day, the wedding, two children, and a lifetime of memories, Ben and Caitlyn sit on their front porch watching the world pass by. Zillions of things happen for a reason and if you ask Caitlyn she always blames the wind for Ben being a part of her life, ask Ben and he just smiles.
