As days goes by, each present day moves to another tomorrow quickly. One event that you've been waiting for is finally here. The annual campus gala was one of the highlights of the university year. Students dressed up, danced, and for one night, left behind the stress of classes and deadlines. As soon as the event was announced, invitations went out, and groups began planning themes and outfits. You and Hanni had been excited about it for weeks—before the tension, the late-night confessions, and the distance had taken root.
Before the main event, you noticed there is still tension between you and Hanni. But she never close the door on you, but things between you still felt delicate, like walking on thin ice. You tried to let her take the lead, knowing this was her way of figuring out her own feelings, though the unspoken tension lingered like a faint ache. When she texted you about the gala, it felt like a lifeline.

When the day of the gala arrived, you couldn't shake the mix of excitement and nervousness coursing through you. You dressed up in a dark, elegant outfit that was simple but highlighted your best features. You had a memory of how Hanni's eyes lingered on you at the last event you attended together added to the anticipation. Would she look at you like that again tonight?
As minutes pass by, Hanni met you outside the dorms, dressed in a midnight blue suit jacket over a satin top, paired with matching pants that gave her a refined, yet effortless look. She flashed a soft smile, her eyes lingering a little too long as she took in your outfit. "You look... amazing," she said, her voice quiet, a hint of wonder breaking through.
"So do you," you replied, trying to sound casual, though your heart raced at the warmth in her gaze.
You reach out your hand for Hanni to hold, she looked at it for a few second, hesitant but took it. You held on with a gentle grip, you can feel her soft palm and her small fingers intertwined to yours. As you kept holding her hand all of the memories you made with each other as friends came back. The old and happy "YOU and HANNI", the "IT'S BETWEEN THE TWO OF YOU AGAINST THE WORLD" eventually it made your heart even more broken.
The event was held in the university's main hall, transformed with shimmering lights and elegant decorations. Students poured in, laughing and mingling, music pulsing through the room. The energy was contagious, and for the first time in a while, the two of you found yourselves falling back into the ease of your friendship.
