After the world reopened from the silence of lockdown, Zofia Nowak, a brilliant Polish STEM student, moves to Canada in 2021 for her final two years of high school.
New country. New people. New life.
But among crowded hallways and competitive classrooms, one person stands out the most-
The boy in the oversized hoodies and headphones.
Elias Kingston.
A sarcastic volleyball player with messy curls, sharp eyes, and a habit of pushing everyone away before they can get close.
They were never supposed to become anything more than best friends.
Until one day, Zofia discovers the truth hidden behind Elias's headphones-
He's deaf.
And while the world mocked his silence, Zofia became the only person who stayed.
Between late-night conversations, shared secrets, math classes, and pages of Zofia's diary filled with thoughts she could never say aloud, Elias slowly became her safe place... her yellow soul.
But life becomes complicated when Zofia enters a relationship with Dylan Foster, leaving Elias trapped between friendship and feelings he was never brave enough to confess.
Still, one promise remained unforgettable.
"One day, I'll wear a yellow dress to farewell... only when the person I truly love is there."
And in 2023, under golden lights and farewell music, Zofia arrives wearing a satin yellow dress beside Elias Kingston.
For one moment, Elias believes the yellow dress was meant for him.
Until he reads the truth hidden inside her diary.
A story about friendship, silence, jealousy, heartbreak, and the kind of love that arrives too late.
Sometimes, the loudest feelings are hidden inside the quietest souls.
