There there were two students named Emily and Jake who lived in the vibrant
college town of Brooksville. They were both Brooksville University students,
both of them nineteen years old. Emily was an enthusiastic literature student
who enjoyed writing and reading. Jake played football with talent and was a
sports science major. Despite seeing each other frequently on school, they had
never truly conversed.
Emily was reading her favourite fantasy book in the campus park one bright
afternoon while seated beneath a large oak tree. Sarah, one of her friends,
approached her and seemed excited.
“You won’t believe it, Emily!
This Friday is a social event hosted by the university. It should be a lot of
fun, Sarah stated.
Emily grinned as she raised her head from her book. I’m not exactly in the mood
for parties, but that sounds fantastic.
Sarah took a seat beside her. Yes, but I have a strategy. Jake from the
football team is reportedly attending. You mentioned that you found him cute, I
seem to recall.
Emily reddened a little. “Well, I think he’s cute, but I have no idea how
to talk to him.”
Sarah smiled. “Well, this is your opportunity! I’ll support you. You ought
to go ask him out on a dance. How do you feel?
Emily paused. “I’m not sure. It
sounds a little ominous.
Sarah smiled comfortingly at her. “Come on, have fun with it. Who knows?
It’s possible that you’ll have a terrific time.
When Friday finally arrived, the university hall was turned into a vibrant
space with upbeat music and vibrant lights. Emily felt confident because of her
basic yet attractive blue dress. Sarah was there to support her and keep her
spirits up.
As the evening wore on, Emily caught sight of Jake with his pals seated across
the room. He was laughing and conversing while looking dapper in his casual
clothes. Emily’s pulse pounded. Sarah gave her a little prod.
“All right, Emily. You’re
capable of doing this, Sarah urged.
Emily took a few long breaths before approaching Jake. Her palms were sweaty
and her hands felt clammy. Her heart thumping in her chest, she walked towards
him.
Emily tried to seem casual as she said, “Hello, Jake.” “Do you
want to dance?”
Jake seems taken aback but happy. Yes, Emily. I would adore it.
They made their way together to the dance floor. The lovely, mellow music was
playing. Emily was anxious, but she made an effort to concentrate on enjoying
herself. She felt both delighted and at ease in Jake’s company.
While dancing, Jake struck up a
discussion. What are you studying, Emily?
Emily grinned. “I’m a literature student. I adore writing and reading.
Jake gave a nod. “That is fantastic. I’m a sports science student. I play
football for this team.
Emily’s expression lightened. “I watched you perform. You’re quite
talented.
Jake laughed. “Many thanks! I’ve been told you’re a huge bookworm. Which
book is your favourite?
Emily glinted in the eyes. “I adore reading fantasy books, particularly
the ‘Magic Lands’ series. Have you perused them?
Jake’s expression brightened. Well,
I have! Like you, I love fantasy literature. Meeting someone who enjoys books
similarly is cool.
They carried on discussing their preferred films, literature, and pastimes. The
conversation became more casual, which made Emily feel more at ease. She was
having more fun than she thought she would.
Following a few tunes, Jake grabbed Emily’s hand and guided her to a more
peaceful area of the hallway. A warm ambiance was created by the fairy lights
that were used to embellish the space.
“Emily, I’ve had a really great time tonight,” Jake replied quietly.
It’s been a long since I wanted to know you better.
Emily felt her heart race.
“Really? It’s been fun speaking with you as well.
Jake grinned. “Are you up for going out sometime? Perhaps we could go to a
bookshop or get coffee together?
Emily seemed happy. “I would adore that.”
They arranged a coffee appointment and swapped phone numbers. It was a great
way to close the evening. Knowing that Jake was eager to learn more about her
made Emily very happy.
Emily and Jake embarked on multiple dates throughout the course of the ensuing
weeks. They explored the university together, went to bookshops, and had coffee
in quaint cafés. They discovered they were very similar to one another and
enjoyed each other’s company. Emily began to feel as though she was falling in
love with Jake as their bond grew.
But as the semester went on, Jake’s
schedule for soccer matches and training grew more and more hectic. In
addition, he was anxious about his obligations as a student-athlete and
impending tests. Emily saw that he appeared exhausted most of the time and was
less available.
After a demanding class day, Emily was waiting for Jake at their favourite café
one evening. In addition to being happy to see him, she was concerned about
their relationship. Jake looked worn out when he arrived.
Sitting down, Jake remarked, “Hey, Emily.” I apologise for being
late. The practice session went longer than anticipated.
Emily was worried, but she still smiled. “Jake, don’t worry. How are
things doing overall?
Jake gave a sigh. “It has been quite busy. It’s difficult, but I’ve been
trying to balance everything.
Emily felt her heart sink. You seem
to be quite busy these days, I’ve noticed. We seem to be spending less time
together, in my opinion.
Jake had a hurt look. “I am aware. I’m sorry I can’t spend as much time
with you as I would like to. Simply said, everything has been accumulating.
Emily felt a knot in her throat as she attempted to understand. “Jake, I
understand. I simply long for the moments we used to have together.
Jake extended his arm to grab her hand. Emily, you are really important to me.
You shouldn’t think that I’m ignoring you. But for now, I have obligations to
attend to.
Emily’s eyes were full with tears.
“Are you suggesting that we should have a break?”
Jake gave a sad nod. “I believe it may be advantageous. I don’t want to do
you any harm or include you in my worries. I have to make sense of things.
Emily was quite depressed. She had hoped for something else to happen. “I
comprehend. It’s simply difficult.
Jake gave her a tender hug. “I truly apologise, Emily. You ought to have
support from someone.
With sad hearts, they said their goodbyes. For the next few days, Emily
experienced heartbreak and loneliness. Sarah in particular was there for her,
supporting and consoling her. Emily put all of her energy into her studies and
her personal health.
After several weeks, Emily started
to recover. She spent time with her pals and turned to her books for comfort.
She also began to find new things to enjoy doing and interests to pursue. She
realised she had to go on, even if she missed Jake.
She once noticed Jake sitting on a bench across campus, appearing to be
reflecting. After a moment of hesitation, she chose to go up to him.
“Hello, Jake,” Emily replied quietly.
Taken aback to see her, Jake looked up. Hello, Emily. How are you doing?
Emily gave a slender smile. “I’m improving. I’ve been trying to remain
upbeat and concentrating on myself.
Jake gave a nod. That’s good to
hear. I’ve been considering us a lot. I acknowledge that I erred. I want to try
if we can work things out because I miss you.
A mixture of optimism and hesitation overcame Emily. “Jake, thank you for
getting in touch. I’ve been improving myself and going on. I’m not sure if
we’re prepared to reunite.
Jake had a perceptive expression. “I understand. I will understand if you
require extra time. I simply wanted you to be aware of my feelings.
Emily inhaled deeply. “I’m grateful, Jake. I must consider what is best
for me.
Feeling satisfied, they said their
goodbyes. Emily kept concentrating on her development as a person and her
recent hobbies. Whatever occurred with Jake, she knew she had gained important
knowledge about love and respect for herself.
Emily and Jake ran into each other again a few months later. Both of them had
developed and evolved. While respecting the past and concentrating on the
present, they conversed and shared their experiences.
Emily gave a kind grin. “I’m happy we got to know one another.”
Jake grinned in return. “Me too, Emily. I’m sending you my best wishes.
Emily experienced serenity. She was prepared to welcome whatever lay ahead for
her now that she had accepted the end of their relationship.
