Belle Calista Eleonora
Belle’s beauty is warm and inviting, influenced by her Italian heritage, and immediately noticeable in a different way. Her straight Golden hair is soft and flowing, catching light easily and framing her face with a natural brightness. Her smooth, milky-white skin gives her a gentle glow, and her blue eyes are lively and expressive, always showing emotion—whether it’s amusement, curiosity, or warmth. Her soft pink lips are naturally full and often curved into a smile, adding to her approachable charm. At 5’5”, her slightly shorter height makes her presence feel more grounded and easier to be around. Unlike the others, Belle’s beauty isn’t distant or intimidating—it’s comfortable.

At “The Meridian Institute for Private Studies”, four students — Élodie, Aurelia, Belle, and Kamoni — form a quiet orbit around one another. Élodie, Aurelia, and Belle each develop a crush on Kamoni and, in their own ways, try to win his attention. Kamoni is genuinely clueless. The story tracks how their attempts affect friendships, reveal hidden sides of each character, and force everyone to grow. They are all 15 and in the tenth grade. They have known each other for a while.
Current scene: Kamoni and Belle are in class and its free time since the teacher isn’t here and there is a sub. Kamoni and Belle are standing up in class at a quiet corner because Belle pulled him there; they talk for a while, Belle’s cheerful personality coming to show in their conversations. Kamoni can’t stop noticing her half buttoned cardigan, and it kind of feels odd it's not fully buttoned, so he asks if he can button it fully. She agrees reluctantly. Then as he buttons, the cardigan from the middle where its already buttoned then as he gets higher from buttoning it, it gets tight around her chest and he can't button it. So, in that instance Belle starts explaining her little insecurity about her chest and how it just can’t stop growing and she gets unwanted attention from it; mostly from males and puberty is annoying and stuff like that. Belle and Kamoni have a cute moment together. As a solution Kamoni gives her his hoodie and she accepts it gladly.

Answer 1

The classroom hummed with the low, distracted noise that comes when a teacher is out and a substitute walks in to watch. A few people were bent over their phones, others pretended to read textbooks. In the far corner by the window, Belle had tugged Kamoni out of his seat and planted him beside her by the radiator, where the light caught the soft warmth of her hair. She talked in that easy, bright way of hers, making him laugh at small asides; it felt less like a confession and more like being pulled along in a pleasant current.

Kamoni couldn’t help noticing the cardigan. It was the same expensive gray she always wore, the hem only buttoned from the middle down so the top hung open. It looked casual on her, but somehow it made him more aware of her—a warmth that wasn’t embarrassing, just oddly present.

“Do you mind if I… button it up for you?” he blurted, then flushed. “I mean, if that’s okay.”

Belle paused, a smile tilting. “Why? Are you worried you’ll catch a chill if I hide my fashion crimes?”

“No, no,” he said quickly, hands already moving. It seemed less weird to act than to explain. He started at the bottom where the cardigan was already fastened, and worked his way up, careful and unhurried so it wouldn’t be awkward.

When he reached the middle, the fabric grew stubborn. He tried again, but the next button wouldn’t meet the buttonhole without pulling tight across her chest. He stopped, fingers hovering, caught between helpfulness and a sudden awareness of how intimate the motion felt.

Belle’s smile faded into something quieter. For a second there was a look he’d rarely seen on her—open and slightly wary. “It’s fine,” she said, but there was an edge. “I do that on purpose.”

“You do?” Kamoni asked. He stepped back a little, giving her space but keeping his voice soft.

She crossed her arms, the position oddly protective. “Yeah. My chest keeps… changing faster than I expect. I’m not tiny anymore, and people notice. Boys at school stare, some don’t know how to look and some just look. It’s annoying. Sometimes I leave it unbuttoned because it’s less of a thing that way—less like I’m trying to show anything, you know?”

Kamoni’s face must have shown his confusion. “But that’s awful,” he said. “I didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable.”

“That’s okay,” she said quickly, the old warmth returning a touch. “I know you didn’t. I don’t exactly hide it from my friends.” She gave a small, wry shrug. “It’s not that I’m embarrassed, it’s just—unwanted attention is a thing. Puberty’s just… loud.”

He nodded. He’d heard people complain about awkwardness and growing pains, but hearing Belle put it that plainly made it feel personal, like a small, honest crack in the polished side of things. “If it helps,” he said, glancing at the hoodie draped over his chair, “you can borrow my hoodie. It’s nothing fancy, but—” He reached behind him and tugged it free.

Belle’s face lit up with a relieved laugh. “You’d give me your hoodie in class? That’s dangerously kind.”

“Only if you promise not to steal it forever,” he said, smiling. He held it out; it smelled faintly of his laundry detergent and the library. She took it like someone accepting a lifeline.

It slid over her cardigan easily, covering the buttons and making the whole silhouette feel more relaxed. She pressed her hands into the pockets, her expression melting from self-conscious to genuinely content in a matter of breaths. “This is perfect,” she said, and there was a little note of gratitude that made Kamoni feel like he’d done something quietly important.

They stood like that for a beat, the two of them small in the big, echoing room. A classmate passed by and glanced their way, but didn’t give them a second thought. Belle leaned in and nudged his shoulder with hers in a quick, familiar way. “Thanks, Kamoni,” she murmured.

He shrugged, not sure if he’d earned the thanks. “Anytime,” he said. “If you ever need me to fight off any unwanted attention, I’ll—well, I’ll do something.”

She laughed, the sound easy and unforced. “No fighting necessary. Just the hoodie is a huge help.”

They went back to the half-finished conversation about a book neither of them had read, but the mood had shifted: quieter, friendlier, less guarded. Belle’s smile kept coming, softer than before, and Kamoni found himself listening more closely to the little jokes she made, noticing how, even with the awkwardness of growing up, she still had the same bright way of putting the world around her at ease.
