This is a story of a girl I met.
I saw her walking into the shop to buy a box of tissues. I didn't know why she can be so calm after knowing the result--yeah, she just answered the phone which is telling her the result of interview.
Then, I saw her began to cried after leaving the shop.
She didn't talk about this with friends. She just wanted to be left alone.
She gave a sigh that can be hardly heard.
"What's happened?" I asked.
"I thought I could share good news with him. But interview failed."
She sent IM messages to him when she found he's online. However, he changed the status to "away" soon.
"I am too noisy, haha."
Was she?
What a tough night.

No problem :) yes there were a few little grammar problems in the original text so I had to correct them as I went along. As for your re-written script, just a couple of small changes:
"which WAS telling her the result of the interview" - because this story is in the past
"Then, I saw her BEGIN to CRY after leaving the shop" - after "begin to", "start to" etc. you always use the infinitive of the verb
"She didn't talk about this with HER friends"
"I thought I could share THE good news with him"

“What happened?”I asked.
“I thought I could share the good news with him. But I failed my interview.”
She sent IM messages to him when she relized he was online. However, he changed his status to “away” pretty quickly.
“I am too nosey, haha.”
