INTERVIEWER: Can you tell us about Zahra Nichols?

ALMA CLARKE (PHOTOGRAPHER AND CLOSE FRIEND): Zahra was the best friend I ever had.

KEIR WALSH (REPORTER, SKYSPORTS): Zahra is exceptional. Talented, experienced. I can proudly say that Zahra was my toughest rival.

RORY ALVAREZ (SINGER AND CLOSE FRIEND): I wish everyone could experience life through Zahra's eyes. She found beauty in everything, even when I couldn't find it myself. She's probably the reason I'm still alive right now.

AMARA SEONG (FORMER MEDIC AND CLOSE FRIEND): Looking back at those years, Zahra saved me when I fucked my life up.

CHARLES LECLERC (FORMULA ONE LEGEND): Chuckles and shrugs What do you want to know? Smiles

INTERVIEWER: Do you remember your first impressions of Zahra?

CHARLES: Oh, absolutely. It's almost impossible not to be captivated by Zahra. I remember vividly, it was  summer, and she had this sun-kissed glow about her that was just so... Her long hair went down her shoulders, and I remember thinking they looked like ocean waves. But what truly set her apart was this charm she radiated—it was like being under a spell. Her smile, it wasn't just her smile alone, but the way her eyes lit up with it, making you feel like you were the only person in the room. It was more than her looks, though; it was her spirit, this energy that she carried with her. And the way she spoke, with such passion, it drew you in. You wanted to listen, to know more about her perspectives, her stories. From that day, I knew she was really something, someone who you don't come across often in life.

INTERVIEWER: Zahra's more secretive than you are, what happened after the club? Why were you in Midd Beach anyway?

CHARLES: It was during my summer break, and I found myself in California visiting a friend who lived near Midd Beach. One evening, we went into this makeshift club—it didn't even seem like a real establishment, just a converted space with a bar and a DJ. Zahra caught my eye immediately. But, the night ended sooner than I'd hoped, and I left feeling a lot of regret for not exchanging contacts with her. The next day, as fate would have it, I found myself at the beach with my friends, and there she was again—Zahra, accompanied by Amara, whom I had met the night before, and two other girls. It was an exhilarating moment, seeing her again unexpectedly. Smiles

INTERVIEWER: What happened after?

CHARLES: After the beach thing, we ended up following each other on Instagram. I took a chance and sent her a message late one night, not really expecting a reply. But, shockingly, she responded. What was even more shocking was when I asked her out, she agreed.

ZAHRA NICHOLS

Ever since Charles hit that "follow" button on my Instagram, my life has become a whirlwind of emotions and, let's be honest, some serious cyber-stalking. With Amara as my number one go-to for stalking, we've carefully looked through every digital nook and cranny to find every piece of information about him. I think hit the jackpot.
