Lesson Well Learned

The aroma of fresh baked cookies surrounded the kitchen as Beatrice was sitting at the kitchen table on her MacBook blaring music, while Giovanna was tidying up the kitchen. Both girls have known each other since the beginning of the fall of their first semester of University and since they were studying the same thing, they became instant friends. They had a particular type of friendship, like the one you only see in movies. Where they would routine their days, and to be more specific, their Sundays. Every Sunday since the very beginning, they would take time away from their studies to bake and gossip about what has happened throughout the week.

Gossiping and baking was usually a norm to both girls. Most of the gossip would come from Giovanna, considering a lot of the people she would see throughout the week didn’t really fancy Beatrice. They would either loath her for absolutely no reason or would only know one side of the story and that would be all it would take for them not to like her.

“Beatrice, did I tell you about what happened before the party last night?”

Beatrice looked at her, trying to recall whether she had a conversation about last night’s wild party, but they haven’t talked about it yet. She wondered if it was something regarding Summer or maybe even someone else. At that point she lowered the volume on her MacBook and asked Giovanna what she was eager to know.

“No, tell me everything!”

“You know how I was at Summer’s flat before the party last night? Well, so was Evie and Harrison, and let me tell you! Summer made yet another scene about how much she thinks Harrison is in love with her and basically doing the same thing she did with Calum, but this time in front of Harrison.”

Summer is one of those girls who ...

... middle of paper ...

...terrible about everything that had happened. Beatrice was a wreck, she didn’t know how to feel. Calum sat next to her, holding her hand as he held back tears. At one point Summer and Calum had been good friends until she started to develop feelings for him, and although that didn’t end well Calum forgave Summer. As he hopes she would forgive him for anything he had done to hurt her.

As the ceremony ended and both girls weren’t the same, they started to look at life differently. Deciding to be better people and not talk so much gossip about other’s lives. They realised it wasn’t worth it, that they should make the most of their lives, rather than judging other’s. Although they still had the thought of what happened in the back of their minds, they looked at it as a learning experience and decided to go on with their lives learning more and more from the incident.
