Chapter 17 : The College Decision

It was the final year of high school, and James and Sophie were busy preparing for their college entrance exams. Both of them had big dreams—James wanted to become a writer, while Sophie aspired to be a doctor.

One evening, as they sat in their favorite spot by the lake, Sophie turned to James with a serious expression.

"James, I've been thinking… What if we get into colleges in different cities?" she asked, her voice tinged with worry.

James had been avoiding this thought, but he knew it was a possibility. "I don't know, Sophie. The thought of being away from you scares me."

Sophie sighed. "Me too. But we have to think about our futures. We can't let anything hold us back."

James nodded, but deep down, he was terrified. The idea of being separated from Sophie was unbearable.
