It's the first day of classes Belle couldn't help but feel a sense of nervous excitement.

Belle had
always been a shy girl who prefers to be alone but deep inside her is a girl who wants to be seen
and heard. Belle Coloma is now a grade 12 student and soon to graduate.
As she enter the room, she scanned the rows of students and one face caught her eyes. It was
Clint, the one person she had hope to never cross paths with again but there they are sitting in the
same classroom just a few feet away from each other.

As the days passed, Belle finds herself stealing glances at Clint during class, trying to get a
glimpse of what he was like now. He seemed different, yet the same. More confident, perhaps,
but still with that same air of superiority that had always set her on edge.

Belle's POV
I tried to focus on the teacher's lesson, but my mind kept wandering back to him. I couldn't help
but wonder what had brought him here, to this class. Had he changed? Is there something new
about him?

As I look at him questions suddenly pops up in my head and his name made me think of our
past.

Last school year , Belle and Clint were something , and by that something, I actually mean they
were more than friends but less than a lover , they were never in a relationship but they had
feelings for each other but that feelings wasn't enough to protect what they had.

After everything they had Clint suddenly had a change of heart and that’s where everything
ended.
The almost relationship, a story about what they could have been, A close relationship that was
never quite fully realized.

One day in school, their class was group into two and Belle and Clint is not in the same group.
Belle was relieved about it.

"yes!" said Belle.

"Okay class , you are now group into two because you will be practicing a dance for your P.E
performance ,so go to your group and practice"
said by their Teacher.

And because its Friday Belle's group decided to practice on weekend , so they went to a place
where they can practice , somewhere wide and clean , and somewhere fresh. So they went to the
park, after their practice Belle and Yan suddenly got hungry so they went to a fast food restaurant
near the park.

Yan is one of her best friend they've been friends since last school year and including Nadine, but
Nadine is in the other group so the both of them are together.

Here comes the day of their performance, Everyone is nervous and at the same time excited to
perform because of how hard they practiced for this performance.

Belle's group is the first one to perform and as they set their foots on the stage the crowd started
cheering, Everyone is enjoying the dance and even the other performers was amazed by it. After
their performance , Clint's group started to perform.
Clint is beautifully dancing with his partner , Everyone is cheering for them and their classmates
started to tease Belle. And suddenly Belle walked out and went back inside their classroom.
Yan and Nadine notices it , so Yan and Nadine followed her.
“Why did you leave? “ Yan asked.
“How can I stay there , when everyone is being so insensitive” said Belle.

Jealousy suddenly sprung up with a furious explosion, strikes her heart.

Belle started to tear up and told her friends about what she really feels.
“ I though I’ve already moved on , everything was fine , I thought I was doing great already, but
why do I feel this?”
Yan and Nadine hugged her and they started to cry because they feel bad for Belle.

Long weekend is coming so Yan and Nadine came up with a plan to help Belle feel better so they
decided to go on a trip and spend the rest of their weekend together.
Nadine and Yan took Belle under their wing,
introducing her to new places and people, and encouraging her to try new things. They went on
long walks, had endless conversations, and shared countless laughs. Slowly but surely, Belle
began to feel like herself again. It may take longer than it seems but it will be worth it.

As the three of them explore the city , Nadine would often point out little details that Belle had
never noticed before. A beautiful sunset that will remind her that there's beauty in goodbyes ,a
hidden park where we can find solace, and a restaurant that can serve her the meal she deserves.
These small observations helped Belle to see the world in a new light, and to appreciate the
beauty that was always around her.

One day, as they were sitting in a cafe, Nadine turned to Belle and said, "You know, moving on is
not about forgetting the past, but about embracing the present and looking forward to the future."
Belle realized that Nadine was right. She didn't have to hold onto the past so tightly, she could let
go and start anew.

Yan agreed with what Nadine said and hugged Belle.

With Yan and Nadine by her side, Belle began to heal and move forward. She started to see the
world as a place full of possibilities, instead of a place that was limited by her past experiences.
She learned to embrace the present and look forward to the future, and she was grateful to have
Nadine and Yan as a friend to guide her through the process.
