Anything but Green

"What I know is that she hadn't wanted to be known by one thing, or remembered by one thing in particular. She wanted to be remembered for being her altogether. She had wanted to be everything: a friend, a sister, a daughter, a giver, a good person. And I don't think she'd like me for that much. That's how I remember her: her personality.

But then there are the little things. They are the minor details I noticed about her character. When she was embarrassed, she'd blush like mad. When she was angry, she wouldn't use contractions and her tone of voice would become low and menacing. When she had a crush on someone, she would always smile near him and try to start up some conversation that would probably be one sided and awkward. When she needed the sunlight, she was just in a bad mood overall...."

In which a boy tells a story of a girl who's long gone.
