They were still young but always played together. They told each other their problems and were very close. They were Gypsy and Dennis. They grew up in different family but they did not mind as long as they are happy. Dennis grew up from a rich family and always got what he wanted while, Gypsy was the opposite of him. But her family is always happy unlike Dennis, he always had stress and many problems. So whenever he felt down, he went up to Gypsy to tell her how he felt.
One day,Dennis's family decided to leave where they used to stay and moved to the city. Of course, the youngsters felt very difficult to part. They were at their teens and attended the same school. But now, it would not be the same anymore. Dennis's parents decided to leave tomorrow so it was really difficult for them to say goodbye though. When that day came, Dennis gave Gypsy a necklace with their photo on it that was made of glass. Tears rolled down their cheeks at that sad moment. Dennis insisted on putting on the necklace for her.
