Two high school strangers falls in love with each other right before school ends then they unexpectedly have to part ways. Ten years later, the see each other again. Will they reconnect or will they leave their love for each other in the past?
Everyone in the school cafeteria is pointing and laughing at the girl on the floor with her face submerged in her food.
"Next time watch where you're going." Sophia says arrogantly. Then she and the rest of the bullies step over her while laughing, then walk towards the direction of their lunch table.
Bellamy slowly gets up off the floor. She wipes the food from her face, picks up her trey of food then take it to the trash to dump it. Everyday since she started this school, she has been bullied by what she calls the fantastic four. Sophia, Maya, Sara and Yui.
They were the reason she doesn't have any friends at school. They all made her life miserable every chance they got, but if it wasn't for Sophia, none of it would happen. All of the girls followed Sophia's lead to torment Bellamy even if they didn't agree.
Bellamy makes her way to the girls bathroom to clean herself up before it's time to go to her next class. She's used to these sort of things happening to her in school so she not only keeps one change of clothes, but two in her locker.
After she changes into her clean attire, she walks back into the hallway to put her dirty clothes into her locker.
While she's focusing her attention on putting her dirty clothes into her bag, she's startled when she hears a slamming sound of another locker behind her.
She turns her head, and notices Jamie Miller. The most popular guy in school. He is standing there with a v-neck white t-shirt and a pair of denim jeans. His hair slightly pushed back with two slightly curled peaces laying across the left side of his forehead.
Bellamy heart skips a beat when she sees its him. She has always liked Jamie, he's handsome, humbled and popular but he was Sophia's boyfriend and no one girl dared to talk to him because of that.
Jamie notices Bellamy staring at him so he gives her a warm but awkward smile and says, "hi." Bellamy eyes widen in surprise then she immediately turns her head back to her locker, feeling embarrassed. She hadn't realized that she was staring at Jamie for so long until he spoke to her.
Jamie thought her shyness was adorable. He also fancied her big beautiful brown eyes. He's never actually noticed how cute Bellamy was before, because he never really paid her any attention.
After Jamie realized Bellamy wasn't going to speak back, he chuckled, shook his head a little then walk away.
Once Jamie was out of sight, Bellamy shut her locker door then quickly walked to her next class so she can sit peacefully before class starts and the other children join her.
All the teachers felt sorry for Bellamy because they all knew what she endured everyday because of Sophia and her crew. They knew Sophia was a spoiled brat that got away with whatever she wanted. However, no one, not even the principal would dare to punish her.
Sophia's family is really powerful and they have the power to build or destroy the reputation of the Wellington school so Sophia used that power to her advantage.
At the Wellington school, you have to be a child of society's most important people or really smart to attend. Sophia and her friends were very rich and their families donated a lot of money to the Wellington school, so they felt like they could do anything they wanted and get away with it, and they did.
On the other hand, Bellamy was extremely smart. She was only one at the school on a scholarship because of her academic achievements. She was tested and had the chance to graduate early when she was only in the 7th grade, once the state seen her high scores. However, her parents decided for her to just skip the 8th grade instead so she can still experience high school. So she went from 7th straight to 9th and that made her now a year younger than all the seniors.
Bellamy was not poor, but she wasn't as rich as everyone else that attended the school so everyone believed that played a big role on why Sophia tormented her so much.
The real reason that no one knows about except Sophia, is that Bellamy's beauty and intelligence made her envy's her. Bellamy is short and petite with long thick black hair. She has long thick lashes with oval shaped big brown eyes that looks like it changes color in different lighting. She has a heart-shaped face, with full lips and a deep cupids-bow. All of the other girls wished for a face as beautiful and innocent as hers, but Sophia is the only one that hated her for it.
If it wasn't for Sophia giving her hell in front of everyone everyday, all the boys in the school would definitely try to be her boyfriend.

After school was out, Bellamy walked towards her car ready to go home but was stopped in her tracks by no one other than, Sophia.
"Looked like you've changed. Damn it girl, do you have anything decent to wear?" Sophia asks, mockingly.
"Sophia, I don't have time for this. Let me pass." Bellamy replies with an exasperated expression.
Ignoring Bellamy's plead, she says "You know what... my grandmother is donating her clothes to charity. I can give them to you if you want. At least they would be better than the rags you wear to school every day." She says and everyone starts laughing.
Bellamy just looks at Sophia with no emotions. She wants to tell her off so badly, but she know that will only make things worse for her. There was only two months left before graduation and then she wouldn't have to see her ever again.
"Sophia, please, just let me go. I'm tired and already reached my quota of abuse from you today."
"No... you can only leave when I say you can leave." Sophia sneers.
Sophia, that's enough!" A males voice catches their attention and they both look to see Jamie stepping forward.
No one knew that Jamie had just came outside of the school and was about to talk to Sophia before he seen her picking on Bellamy. Curious about what was going on, he just stood there quietly and watched their interaction before stepping in.
"What? I was just offering her some clothes my grandma was donating. You know I'm a philanthropist, baby." She says snobbishly.
"No, you're trying to embarrass her." He says angrily.
"You misunderstood me. I was merely trying to do my part in society. She's just being ungrateful."
"Stop it, Sophia. Haven't you've had enough? You two have been at it for years now. When will you grow up?"
All the onlookers was shocked to hear Jamie say those words to Sophia in front of everyone.
Someone asked, "why is he defending Bellamy, are they friends now?" Another person said. "Jamie is tired of Sophia's crap. Frankly, I am too. About time someone put her in her place."
"Jamie, hunny. What are you doing?" Sophia asked nervously, with a bemused expression.
Bellamy was even taken aback. What is he doing? Why is he sticking up for me now? She thought to herself.
"I just witnessed you antagonize her. She didn't do anything to you. I'm tired of this shit, Sophia. I hear from people everyday about you messing with this girl. You always say she's messing with you, but I'm starting to believe that she never once did anything to you. Your insecurities are the reasons why you dislike people. We all know you pick on her because she's pretty. If anyone is prettier than you, they are a threat."
"What do you mean, prettier than me?" She ask angrily, then stomps her foot. "You think she's prettier than me?"
Jamie rolls his eyes at Sophia with annoyance. Everything I just said and that's all she heard? Jamie thought to himself.
"I'm done talking." He says, then walks over to Bellamy that's standing there completely dumbfounded because of what Jamie just said to Sophia.
"Come on, I will walk you to your car." He says to Bellamy. She nods in agreement then begins walking with him.
Bellamy didn't really want to walk with Jamie. She knew it would only spit fuel to the fire if she left with him, but she just wanted to get away from the situation and allowed him to take her to her car.
"Jamie, if you walk away from me now, we are over!" Sophia yells.
Jamie never stops walking beside Bellamy, ignoring her threatening words.
"Jamie... did you hear me? We are so over if you leave me here!" She says once more but Jamie never turns or acknowledge her.
Sophia felt humiliated. Her face was as red as a apple when she storms off to her car, leaving her friends standing there. She got in then pulled off so fast that her tires left black tread-marks on the ground of the park lot.
