A few weeks later, the school announced an art competition. James and Sophie decided to participate together. They spent hours after school, brainstorming ideas and sketching their masterpiece.
Their idea was simple yet meaningful—a painting of two hands holding a glowing heart, symbolizing friendship and love. James worked on the details, while Sophie added vibrant colors to bring the painting to life.
On the day of the competition, their hard work paid off. Their painting won first prize, and the entire school applauded their creativity.
As they stood on the stage, holding the trophy together, James couldn't help but glance at Sophie. Her face was glowing with happiness, and in that moment, he realized how much she meant to him.
