LOVESTORY:
“High School Love Affair”

It was June 2001 when Billie & Anne

became classmates during their 2nd year
high school. Billie is a jock, bully and a
war-freak guy, on the other hand, Anne
is sweet, sensitive and very smart.
During their first day on class, Billie saw
Anne entering to the door, and fall in
love with Anne. Anne is an exchange
student so she doesn’t talk too much
unlike Billie.

Because Billie liked Anne so much, he

decided to court her. Anne also felt
something to Billie, so after 3 months
they become boyfriend and girlfriend.
Billie changed a lot when Anne entered
to his life--- he became sensitive and
sweet. Billie promised Anne that he will
not fight nor be bully anymore.

They became really great couple

together… suddenly when Billie is with
his friends, a gangster attacked them. It
was the same gang who Billie and his
friends fought before when Billie and
Anne aren’t a couple yet. Because Billie
promised Anne that he will not fight
anymore, he didn’t fight back. Billie and
the company were rushed to the hospital,
Anne went to Billie and asked why he
didn’t fight back…Billie smiled and said
“I promised you tat I will quit fighting so
I didn’t fight back”.

After a week, Billie came out to the

hospital and went back to school. They
are still a sweet couple and they already
had their plans for their future together.
They also promised that they will live
together and love each other forever.
