Portfolio #1

My neighbour Luke, lives two houses from mine. I’ve known him since we were 15. He has got blonde spiky hair, he is tall and fit. His sparkling eyes, freckles and his warm smile make his face look like an angel. As regards his personality, he was a good natured, fun-loving and outgoing person, who loved spending time with his friends after school.

He had a small family, his mum, his dad and his little sister. They were very closed and they got on well with each other. One day the family decided to go on a trip but Luke wanted to stay with his friends, and his parents had no problem with that. The following day of the trip an unexpected event happened…

The police told him that his family had crashed and died. This situation hurt him so much. He was under-eighteen, and he couldn’t live alone. So he had to move with the rest of the family to France. Over the months, his life was very difficult. He couldn’t speak the language very well so he didn’t speak too much with his schoolmates. He wore scruffy clothes, his eyes looked a bit lost and he became very reserved.

I haven't seen him since he came back to the old house. We have never been friends before but now we are very good neighbours. He has changed a lot since the last time I heard of him. He has found love, a girl that can make him forget all the pain. He has made new friends from university. He wears smart clothes because he has been working in a office. He is making a new life.
