The Last Meetup Before Bella Leaves for Med School.
A cozy café, bustling with energy. The soft hum of conversation fills the air as the group of friends settles around a table. Bella is seated in the center, surrounded by her four closest friends. The girls talk with excitement and laughter, knowing this may be the last time they’ll all be together for a while.
Sophia Bennett (FL's bff)
(grinning)
Okay, okay, I know I’ve been talking about him a lot lately, but Jason is literally the best. He surprises me with coffee every morning and is always so sweet about everything. I mean, how did I get so lucky?
(She leans back in her chair, eyes sparkling, as she clearly adores her boyfriend.)
Mia Lawson( FL's bff)
(laughing)
You’re such a sucker for romance, Fia! But I get it. I get it. Speaking of love stories, I met this guy at the chemistry lab last week. Total disaster, though! I don’t think I’ve ever failed an experiment so badly before, but he still found it charming.
(She rolls her eyes, clearly not thrilled with how things went.)
But hey, at least he made me laugh. That counts for something, right?
Charlotte Hayes (FL's bff)
(nonchalantly, sipping her drink)
Guys, please. Don’t get me started on boys. You know how it goes for me. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that the more I try to care, the less it works. These boys just come and go like… well, like the wind.
(She shrugs, unbothered, and flicks her hair back with a careless smile.)
But you know what? I’m having fun, and that’s all that matters.
Grace Montgomery(FL's bff)
(quietly, her voice a little softer)
Well, I’m still waiting for that perfect guy to come along. I guess my knight in shining armor hasn’t found me yet.
(She smiles, but there’s a hint of wistfulness in her eyes as she twirls a strand of hair between her fingers.)
But hey, I’m not in any rush. He’ll show up eventually.
Isabella Carter (FL)
(looking at each of her friends, her heart full of affection)
(With a smile, she watches the lively conversations, feeling both happy and sad. Her friends are everything to her, and it’s hard to think about leaving them.)
You guys, I’m really going to miss you all. This is the first time we’ve all been together for so long. I’ll never forget these moments.
Sophia Bennett (FL's bff)
(teasing)
Of course, you’ll miss us! We’re the best thing that’s happened to you.
(She laughs, nudging Bella’s shoulder.)
Seriously, though, I know med school is going to be tough, but you’re going to rock it, Bella. Just remember to take care of yourself.
Mia Lawson( FL's bff)
(seriously)
Yeah, and don’t forget about us when you become all famous and successful, okay? We need to meet your doctor self once in a while.
(She gives Bella a playful, exaggerated look.)
Plus, I’ll need someone to help me with my chemistry problems.
Charlotte Hayes (FL's bff)
(grinning)
And I’ll need a doc to fix my broken heart when one of my flings goes wrong.
(She laughs, as everyone else joins in.)
Charlotte Hayes (FL's bff)
(softly)
Just promise me we’ll all meet again soon, Bella. I know things will change, but we can’t let it drift apart. Right?
(Her eyes meet Bella’s, her voice sincere.)
Isabella Carter (FL)
(nods, smiling warmly)
I promise. I know it’s going to be hard, but we’re family, and family always sticks together. No matter how far apart we are, we’ll always meet up on our birthdays, and once every month, no matter what. We’ll stay connected.
(She reaches for Grace’s hand across the table, squeezing it gently.)
Sophia Bennett (FL's bff)
(grinning)
Deal! And I’ll definitely be the first one to remind you, Bella. Don’t even think about backing out.
Charlotte Hayes (FL's bff)
(teasing)
Yeah, yeah. But only if we get to have a massive party whenever you come back. You owe us one!
Isabella Carter (FL)
(smiling, feeling her heart swell with love)
Thank you. This means everything to me.
Grace Montgomery(FL's bff)
(with a soft smile)
Then it’s settled. No matter how busy life gets, we’ll be there for each other. Always.
As they all sat back, the warmth of the conversation settling in, Bella couldn't help but smile. The realization that she would soon be far away from her friends hit her harder than expected. But hearing their laughter, seeing the joy in their eyes, reassured her that no matter how far apart they were, they'd always be there for each other.
Sophia Bennett (FL's bff)
(Raised her cup and grinned.) We’ve made a pact now. Birthday parties, monthly meet-ups, no excuses. We’re family, remember?
Mia Lawson( FL's bff)
(Nodded enthusiastically) Exactly! We’ll always find a way to meet, even if it’s just for a weekend. We’re not letting you get away that easily, Bella.
Grace Montgomery(FL's bff)
(With a soft smile, added)
And when you come back, we’ll have a new list of things to talk about, new adventures to share.
Bella looked around at her friends, her heart full. No matter where life took her, she would always have this moment, this bond. She knew this wasn’t the last time they would laugh together. It was just the beginning of a new chapter.
Isabella Carter (FL)
“Promise?”(asked, her voice thick with emotion.)
“Promise,” they all said in unison, raising their cups toward her.
Bella took a deep breath, savoring the comfort of her friends' presence, knowing that even the distance couldn’t break their bond. No matter where she was, they would always find their way back to each other.
