When Kellan saw her, and got to know her, his world shone through everything he knew. He felt, that everything is a little bit nicer than before. His way of life became easy-going. Tiara made him felt comfortable. These young highschoolers first met on the group sessions of the orientation. The orientation itself considered group of pairings to be adjusted. This is to consider the concept of what way the students say to each other.
The first day went like a bliss, they both pretty much worked together effectively. Kellan never felt secure enough towards a girl before, so he felt nervous everytime he spoke to a girl. Tiara, on the other hand, is very easy to talk to, and is an open minded person. She will be the kind of person to smile to everyone, reliefing the stress that particular someone experiences.
That first day, they first get to know each other by a handshake. It was not too tight or too strong, but he felt Tiara's handshake to be as gentle as it could be. He saw the way Tiara spoke to others. In that very first day, Kellan immediatelt knew what it is to be carefree. He was known to be quite stiff and unsociable, very contrast towards the star Tiara. Their first conversations was about telling stories.
The 2nd day was his very best moment of his life. The way they talked to each other, makes him felt easy and nice in his heart and mind. To be happy and to make someone happy, were the things he really needed up to that day. They began to continue telling stories, such as Tiara told her way to get slim and her workout routine, and Kellan often told her about his passion in writing. "Ohh i see, well i will be waiting for your stories about me then! Hahahaha," chuckled Tiara after hearing that Kellan enjoyed writing romance short stories. "Yeah, i will tell you after i wrote about you." Replied Kellan with a smile.
The project instructed the groups to tell what is the characteristic of each other. This, as the teacher always said at the pre orientation, will help students to grow sympathy, tolerance, and indifference feelings inside their hearts. This will help the students to became a better personality. Some senior thought that the orientation is very much a mixer, as many couples find themselves there. It was seen as the legal way to get a girlfriend, some of the boys gang would say with laughable jokes.
"You know, we should continue to call at our homes, Ti" offered Kellan after the 2nd day ended. The next day will be the project presentation, where the students must tell the characteristic of their pairing and explain them with objectivity. "Yeah, that stood me. Call me whenever, ok? Here's my number, so call me maybe? Hahahahaha," Joked Tiara with Carly's Hit song. "I see what you did there." Kellan smiled as the sun began to set and the two went home and talked the night away with smiles and cheers unseen from each other.
The next day, it was brilliant. Tiara explained really well about Kellan's hobbies and passion, as much as Kellan's thought about Tiara that she expanded his horizon with her way of thinking. Of course, there are several things left unsaid in the presentation, such as how Kellan always felt happier when Tiara smiled and laughed, how Kellan really need to make jokes for her to laugh to him every single moment. How Kellan knew that, maybe he will never get to know a girl like Tiara better and closer ever. He just knew, that after this, Tiara will join her friends gang in a whole different and far away class than Kellan's class, and that maybe they will never call each other again.
After the third and final day together, as expected, Tiara never called him again. She always seen smiling by her friends and enjoying her daily life as a highschooler. Kellan became a much more secured person, although he still sometimes got panicked and uneasy at any given moment. They both never forget about what they say in their last presentation of the third day of orientation,
"If we can meet again, can we be friends?" Asked Kellan after the last day ended. "What? Are you silly? Of course we are," replied Tiara with a very confusing expression.
Throughout highschool, both of them really wanted to feel that connection again, alast never did any of them try to. Tiara got pretty famous and was often hit by guys like Tyrone and Micah, the best football players in school. Kellan continued his passion as a writer, and get 3rd place in his first competition in highschool.
Both of them still lurking that feeling, that they can get again, but they will never get it, as Kellan thought that Tiara never saw something in him. And as Tiara thought Kellan will never think highly of her, an average student will zero credibilities and got one for just smiling.
They both wished to comeback to their first three days together, where things are simple, and they enjoyed together laughing cheerfully, freely, and just keep continuing to make each other smile.
For every single moment.
