"ORLANDO, what are you doing here?" Harmony exclaimed as she closed the door to her dorm, during the night of homecoming last year. "Orlando? My government? I didn't know we were still mad at each other?" Lando replied as he hopped on Harmony's bed. "Mad? Lando, we broke up." She reminded, standing in front of him with her arms crossed.
The two had broken up in May, almost 6 months ago. It was a mutual break-up in a sense, the two had been together since Harmony's sophomore year of high school. Both of their dads are close, seeing as they had been best friends since they both attended Bringston. Harmony and Lando met during their dads' annual camping trip, where the two gained feelings for each other. Since Lando lived in Atlanta and Harmony lived in Beverly Hills, the two made sure to spend every spring, winter, and summer break together. Unfortunately during Harmony's senior year, the distance got harder to maintain.
"That break up was more your idea than it was mine. I didn't want to break up." Lando spoke out. "Lando, we argued every day." She sighed. "That's only because you took me wanting to express my feelings, as me wanting to fight with you." He responded, now standing up. "Then, when I stopped expressing myself, you said I wasn't putting in enough effort."
"Okay, well then since I was the problem, why are you standing here, in my dorm, right now?" Harmony exclaimed. "Because I love you." Lando called out. He took a deep breath, before stepping forward, placing his hand on her cheek. "I never stopped loving you. You're the only person I can see myself ever being with."
Harmony stared at him, not knowing what to say. Orlando took this time to lean in, causing Harmony to step back, thinking of JR. "I have a boyfriend."
Harmony frowned as she watched Lando's face drop. "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know." He replied, grabbing his jacket from her bed. "Wait, Lando." Harmony started, "No, it's cool. I just came by to let you know that I got accepted into Bringston and that I'll be attending next fall."
"Oh, congrats." She grinned. "Yeah, thanks." Lando weakly smiled back, before making his way towards her door. "When you realize I'm the one that's meant for you, give me a call." He said before exiting the room.

IT WAS the first day of classes at Bringston College, Harmony, and JR walked into the gym at 7:45 a.m. just in time for their daily 8 a.m. workout, where they ran into Simone Hicks, who was looking down at her Tennis Team workout clipboard in distress. "Hey, Simone." Jessie Raymond greeted. "Hey, girl." Harmony beamed.
