Chapter 2:The Lost Melody

One day, as Ethan was walking through the music room, he found a lost music sheet. As he looked at the beautifully written notes, he realized it was Bella Grace's. He felt like he had found a piece of her soul, a glimpse into her world. He decided to return the music sheet to Bella Grace, but the thought of talking to her made his heart pound with nervousness.

As the school day ended, Ethan gathered his courage and approached Bella Grace. He handed her the music sheet, his hands slightly trembling.

"Bella Grace, I believe this belongs to you," Ethan said, his voice barely above a whisper.

Bella Grace looked surprised. "Oh, my music sheet! I've been looking for this everywhere. Thank you, Ethan," she said, her eyes sparkling with gratitude.

Ethan could only nod, too nervous to say anything else. But Bella Grace noticed his nervousness and found it endearing.

"You know, Ethan, you don't have to be so nervous around me. We're friends, right?" she said, her voice soft and comforting.

Ethan looked up, meeting her gaze. "Yes, we're friends," he replied, a small smile playing on his lips.

From that day forward, Ethan and Bella Grace started talking more. They found out they had a lot in common. They both loved music, enjoyed the same books, and shared a passion for helping others. Their friendship blossomed, and Ethan's feelings for Bella Grace grew stronger.

As the days turned into weeks, and weeks into months, Ethan found himself falling more and more in love with Bella Grace. He admired her passion, her kindness, and her spirit. But he was too shy to confess his feelings, too afraid of what her response might be.

And so, Ethan continued to admire Bella Grace from afar, his heart filled with a love that was both beautiful and painful. But little did he know, Bella Grace was starting to see him in a new light as well.
