Everyone left the theater after the show ended.
They were dispersing into small groups.
The sounds of laughter and comments were still echoing in the corridors.
Some of them were imitating scenes from the play.
And others were discussing the ending enthusiastically.
In one of the empty halls, a girl entered, looking around.
She was looking for Farid.
She asked some classmates, but no one knew where he had gone.
She shook her head in disappointment and left.
Meanwhile, Farid was far from all of that, in a quieter place.
---
On the top of the school roof...
where the open air gently touched their faces.
Farid stood beside Lavinia.
They were looking at the nearby buildings.
Their lights were beginning to turn on as evening approached.
A comfortable silence settled between them.
Lavinia said, smiling a calm smile: "It seems you enjoy your school days more than I do."
Farid laughed lightly and replied: "Yes, I do… or maybe I've only just started to enjoy them now."
Lavinia looked at the horizon, then said in a sincere tone: "I don't know… but I'm happy that you're here with us."
"And happy that I got to know you. You might be the best thing that happened in my school life."
Farid paused for a moment and turned toward her.
She was looking at the buildings, her hair moving with the breeze and falling back.
He felt his heart beating faster, and his face reddened without him noticing.
Then he said in a low but sincere voice: "Thank you… that means a lot to me."

Downstairs...
in one of the school corridors.
Mikel ran into Chloe by chance. They exchanged a quick glance, then smiled.
And decided to hang out for a while.
They entered one of the departments that was running a café, and sat together sipping coffee, the warm light reflecting on the wooden tables.
Chloe said while staring at her cup: "Maybe I'm thinking of resigning from my position as club president."
Micheal 's eyes widened in surprise, and he said immediately: "What? Are you joking? And why?"
Chloe sighed and said: "I think I've had enough… I need to rest a little from the noise of the club and its responsibilities."
Micheal looked at her seriously and said: "But you're important to us. You're not just a president… you're part of the team. Do you remember your first day at the club?"
With his words, memories passed as if they were vivid scenes.
Back then, Chloe was a beginner, not knowing much.
And the rest of the members looked down on her, didn't listen to her, and always left her to clean up their mess.
She would stand alone, trying to look strong, while exhaustion filled her eyes.
Except for micheal …
He was the only one who stood by her.
He helped her quietly, organized things with her, and one day said to her in a firm tone: "Don't be weak or easy with them. Do your best. You're an amazing person, and they'll be forced to respect you."
The memories returned to the present.
Chloe laughed and said: "Hehe… I remember that clearly. You were the reason I became the club president, and the reason I became a strong person. Thank you, micheal."
Micheal smiled and said confidently: "That's why I don't want you to resign. As the team leader… I ask you to stay."
Chloe laughed lightly and said, shrugging her shoulders: "Alright… I'll think about it."
After that, they left the café.
And began walking down the quiet corridor.
Suddenly,
they noticed someone approaching them.
It was George, wearing a cap, looking down. For a moment, Chloe felt afraid, but she steadied herself and lifted her head.
George stopped in front of them and raised his gaze to look directly into micheal 's eyes.
He said in a calm but clear voice: "I'm sorry… for all the trouble I caused you, you, Lavinia, and your friends."
Micheal froze in place.
He never imagined he would see George apologize. He was about to respond, but George suddenly turned toward Chloe.
He raised his voice in the corridor and said without hesitation: "I love you. I've always admired you."
A heavy silence fell.
Chloe's eyes widened in shock, and her breathing quickened. She did not expect this confession.
Not in this place.
And not with such boldness.
As for Micheal, he looked at George, then at Chloe, not knowing what to say.
George said while looking at Chloe sincerely: "I know I've made many mistakes… but my feelings for you are real."
Chloe stood silent for a few seconds, trying to process what she had heard.
While the entire corridor watched in anticipation.
