"A Retrieved Reformation" - Writing Focus

I had a friend named Linh. She's not your typical girl walking around school. First of all she's tall, and her hair is super long with highlights, making her look cool with some dyed hair (not that it's a bad thing, of course). It's also hilarious about how she runs! I'm not insulting her, but when she runs it's like her leg can't really bend like an average person's so her legs kind of go to the side. But who knows if she run like a normal person, I just never saw her do it. Also, whenever someone tells a joke that's funny, she mixes it up herself and makes it not make sense, making it even more hysterical. Linh can really cheer people up and I miss her since she's changed schools to ACG.
