Dear Kieran,

I hope you're doing well. Today has been quite the rollercoaster of emotions for me, and I wanted to share it with you.

Firstly, congratulations on your performance in the competition. I heard you and Sofia did really well and managed to snag the third prize in the dancing competition. That's amazing, Kieran, and I'm genuinely happy for both of you. You deserve all the success in the world.

As for Liam and me, well... we won first prize together. It's bittersweet, really. Holding that trophy in my hands brought back memories of when you and I stood on that stage together, celebrating our own victories. It's funny how life works out sometimes, isn't it?

But what really caught me off guard was what happened at the afternoon party. I never expected it, but you... you kissed Sofia in front of everyone and announced that you were in love. It was like a punch to the gut, Kieran, seeing you declare your love for someone else while I stood by, a mere bystander. The dream I once had of us being together shattered into a million pieces right before my eyes.

I won't lie, Kieran. It hurt. It hurt more than I thought it would. I had to excuse myself and find a quiet corner to let the tears fall. But even as the tears streamed down my face, I knew I couldn't run away this time. I had to face you, face Sofia, face everyone. And so I did.

When the whole school congratulated you guys, I joined in too. And you know what? It felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. Maybe it was the realization that I could finally let go of the past and move forward, or maybe it was just the relief of knowing that I could still be happy for you, despite everything.

I'm not saying it's going to be easy, Kieran. Letting go of the past never is. But I'm willing to try. I'm willing to change, to grow, to become the best version of myself that I can be. And who knows? Maybe in doing so, I'll find a happiness that I never thought possible.

Take care, Kieran. And once again, congratulations on your success.

Sincerely,
Maeve
