The days following Milk's confession and their renewed commitment to each other were some of the happiest Love had experienced. Their relationship blossomed anew, infused with the deep understanding and history they shared. They quickly fell back into the rhythms of school life, balancing classes, extracurriculars, and time with friends.
One bright morning, Love, Milk, Prim, Tu, View, June, and their other friends decided to make the most of their free period by hanging out in the school courtyard. The sun was warm but not too hot, a perfect day to be outside. The courtyard was buzzing with students chatting, laughing, and enjoying the break from their studies.
Love and Milk sat under a large tree, their friends scattered around them on the grass. View, with her ever-present camera, was busy snapping candid shots of everyone, capturing the joy and camaraderie of their group.
Prim was busy organizing an impromptu game of volleyball, coaxing Tu and a few other friends to join. “Come on, it’ll be fun!” she said, bouncing the ball with enthusiasm.
Tu rolled her eyes playfully but got up to join. “Alright, but don’t blame me if I spike the ball too hard,” she warned with a grin.
Love and Milk watched the game unfold, cheering for their friends and laughing at the playful banter. June, who had become a regular part of their group, sat next to View, both of them engrossed in a conversation about their favorite movies.
“Do you think we should join them?” Milk asked, nudging Love gently.
Love shook her head, smiling. “I’m enjoying watching them play. Plus, I think I’d be a terrible volleyball player.”
Milk chuckled. “Same here. I’d probably trip over my own feet.”
They sat in comfortable silence for a while, simply enjoying the moment. Eventually, View approached them, her camera dangling from her neck.
“Hey, you two. Mind if I take a picture?” she asked, already raising her camera.
Love and Milk exchanged a glance and nodded. They leaned into each other, their smiles bright and genuine. View snapped the picture and showed it to them. It was a beautiful shot, capturing the warmth and affection between them.
“Thanks, View. You’re really good at this,” Love said, admiring the photo.
View beamed. “Thanks! I love capturing moments like these. Speaking of which, June and I were talking about doing a photo project together. Maybe you two could be our models?”
Milk’s eyes lit up. “That sounds like fun! What do you think, Love?”
Love nodded, her excitement matching Milk’s. “I’d love to! Just let us know when and where.”
As the volleyball game wound down, the group reconvened under the tree, their faces flushed and happy from the exercise. Prim flopped down next to Love, breathing hard. “That was awesome! We should do this more often.”
Tu sat down beside her, wiping sweat from her brow. “Yeah, it was a good game. You weren’t half bad, Prim.”
Prim grinned. “Thanks, Tu. You weren’t too bad yourself.”
June glanced at her watch and nudged View. “We’ve got some time before our next class. How about we grab some snacks from the cafeteria?”
View nodded eagerly. “Great idea! Who’s coming?”
The group collectively decided to head to the cafeteria. They walked together, chatting and laughing, the atmosphere light and carefree. At the cafeteria, they loaded up on snacks—chips, drinks, and a variety of sweets—and found a big table where they could all sit together.
As they ate, the conversation flowed easily. They talked about everything from upcoming tests and projects to their favorite shows and hobbies. Love and Milk sat close together, their hands occasionally brushing against each other’s, a silent reminder of their deepening bond.
Prim and Tu engaged in a spirited debate about which volleyball team was the best, their friendly rivalry always a source of entertainment for the group. View and June, now firmly friends, discussed the details of their photo project, brainstorming ideas and themes.
At one point, Love noticed Milk looking thoughtful, her gaze distant. “What’s on your mind?” she asked softly.
Milk shook her head, smiling. “Just thinking about how lucky I am to have you all. This is exactly what I needed—a reminder of how important friendship is.”
Love squeezed Milk’s hand. “I feel the same way. These moments are what make everything worthwhile.”
The rest of the lunch period passed in a blur of laughter and camaraderie. As the bell rang, signaling the end of their break, they all reluctantly got up to head to their respective classes.
“Let’s do this again soon,” Prim said, gathering her things. “Maybe next time we can plan something special, like a picnic or a movie night.”
Everyone agreed enthusiastically, already looking forward to their next gathering. As they dispersed to their classes, Love and Milk walked together, savoring the last few moments before they had to part ways.
“I’ll see you after class?” Milk asked, her eyes hopeful.
“Of course,” Love replied, leaning in to give her a quick kiss on the cheek. “I’ll be counting the minutes.”
Milk blushed, smiling brightly. “Me too.”
The rest of the day passed quickly, the anticipation of their next meeting making the hours fly by. When the final bell rang, Love and Milk reunited outside the school, ready to head home.
As they walked, they reflected on the day, their hearts full of happiness. They knew there would be challenges ahead, but with each other and their friends by their side, they felt ready to face anything.
That evening, as Love lay in bed, she replayed the events of the day in her mind. The laughter, the joy, and the simple pleasure of being with those she cared about most. She drifted off to sleep with a smile on her face, knowing that tomorrow would bring more memories, more moments of happiness, and more time spent with the people she loved.
