The Day Hannah died, I was happy.
Not because she died, of course, but because I got an A on my semester work in English, and my mom took me shopping, and we laughed a lot.

I remember the day we met. I remember the first time she smiled at me. I remembered the day she started playing soccer, so she could train with me. I remember the first time going up the stairs to her room. I remember the day we became friends. I remember the day I almost kissed her.
