Adventure Friendship High School

once upon a time there was a girl called Hope who always had a wish a bout a place that she wanted to go to. One day when he was going to visit her friend called Mike, on her way she saw a picture on the ground and behind the picture there were words which were written on it and these were Miami beach. Hope had no idea about what Miami beach was and she decided to go and ask her high school friend called Ornella to tell her more about Miami beach if she knew that place. Ornella had little information about that place called Miami beach but all she knew was that Miami was a great place to visit and for adventure and she told her that great memories can be got their. Basing on the information that Hope got from Ornella, she started to believe that her wish is coming true.

The following day, Hope went to visit her friend Mike and told him what happened to her when she was on her way to see him the previous day. Hope reminded Mike about the wish she always had and she told him about how she picked a picture on the way and the words that were written behind it was Miami beach and she told him that that is the place she wants to go to. When Mike finished listening to Hope, he asked her if she had any clue about the place that she wanted to go to but Hope only had little information that Ornella gave her. kindly Hope decided to ask her friend Mike if she could accept to come and they go together to that place if there is no problem. Mike told her that she will accept the offer after making his research about that place and will decide whether they go together or not.

Mike took his time to think about it as he had promised and gave his response to hope’s proposal as soon as possible because he was honestly very excited to go on a trip with hope too as his friend. So, as they were in summer vacation, they used the opportunity to go by then before the vacation ends,

so they organized everything and went. It was hope’s first time to get in a plane, so mike made sure he comforted her and reassured her that everything was going to be fine until she fell asleep and

mike woke her up when they had reached their destination. Hope was amazed by everything she saw as her dream was becoming true at the moment and finally, she was standing on the beach with

her own feet and touching the sand with her own hands. Mike was so glad to be the one with hope at her best place and they had much fun and their bond grew. Hope called Ornella a lot to tell her

about her days and how amazing the place is, Ornella enjoyed it a lot that they had promised to come back to the place together, as a girls’ outing. So as days went by and they were planning to come back to their home country, Mike had a confession to make to Hope and he had decided to say it while they were still in the trip and he told her that he liked her more than a friend and asked her if they could start dating, but he told her that it was fine for her to take her time and think about it. which made hope very disappointed and got distant with him, and just like everything else she called Ornella, her friend and told her about it, it was a long call and Ornella told her to follow her heart and take everything slow as she needs to think very well about it and the consequences of every decision she’s planning to make. So Hope thought a lot about it and finally told Mike that she only could love him as a friend and nothing more, Mike got sad because of the answer but he tried to understand her and asked her if they could just forget everything and focus on their friendship which was very hard to do after that but they tried their best because they were both good friends to each other.

Hope and Mike came back from the trip but something had changed between them and even the way they talked to each other changed. As the days went by, Hope started to see Mike in a different way which was different from friendship and on the other hand, Mike was trying to move on and forget about Hope even though it was hard to bear an forget easily. As the days went by, Mike started to be close to Ornella the friend of Hope because they lived in the same place. This was a worst thing to Hope because she had started getting into Mike. This brought bad feeling between Hope and Ornella where by they stopped talking together and no one was seeing each other. Hope decided to go and ask for an advice from another friend of her who was called Derrick and told her about what happened to her and Ornella and the reason it happened. Derrick had a crush on Hope but she never told Hope about it because she thought Hope was not at the same level as him and that he could be rejected. Derrick advised Hope to stop all the things she had in mind and move on. Hope decided to move on and accept the things the way they are.

When Hope came back to school, she tried to make a way to talk to Ornella but it was not easy for both of them. On that school, there was the cousin of Mike called Omar and he was also a friend to Hope and Ornella but this time he was lost because he had no idea about what was going on between them. He decided to come near them and asked what happened between them that made them to stop talking to each other. When they told him about Mike, he was surprised to hear that his cousin was the cause but Ornella told them that there was a misunderstanding because there was no special friendship between her and Mike that instead Mike always loved Hope and no any other woman which made Hope happy and decided to get back with her friends especially Ornella.
