Looking in the mirror of an oak dresser stood a girl with long brunette hair, jade eyes and tan skin. She had on an outfit consisted of a pink and green long sleeved top along with a hot pink miniskirt, a pink headband and a matching colour knee length boot.

She looked at three pictures posted on the mirror. One had an image of sixteen year old, chubby Flora her best friend, Helia. The other had Helia alone, drawing someone and the last one was a picture of her now, one hundred pounds lighter and no braces. 'So happy that my teeth finally straighten out.'

The brunette let out a sigh before grabbing her pink, two strap bag. Heading through the door, she was off to her first day of her senior year.

Heading outside she saw a blue convertible waiting her. Resting against the passenger side was a male with short, raven hair, blue eyes, fair skin and had on black jeans with a blue and white shirt. There was a smile on his face as she approached him. Flora felt her heart skip a beat walking towards the seventeen year old.

After what seemed like hours she finally reached the male. He didn't speak and just wrapped his arms around slender body. Flora gladly returned the hug as her head rested on his muscular chest.

"Flora, I missed you so much." He said loud enough for her ears only.

"I missed you too." She replied. "Two months away from you was terrible."

"Picture what I was going through." He loosened the hug a little.

They were communicating with each other throughout the summer but it was limited to letters. They would write to each other at least twice a week.

Flora giggled. "At least you had friends and family around you. I was at fat camp."

"I didn't have my best friend with me and look on the bright side." He reassured her. "You reached your target weight in two months at that place compared to years of trying it at home."

The reason why Helia wasn't surprised by her weight loss was because Flora had sent a letter with a before and after picture to Helia so he could get to see.

Flora sighed. "It was hard, tiresome and painful but at least I did it. Know you were trying to help me for years but it didn't go as planned."

"Flower, I had no problem with how you looked before. You were always beautiful to me."

Flora blushed. "You always say that."

"That is because you are the most beautiful person I have ever met." He answered sincerely.

Over the years they have been friends Flora was called ugly, a loser and a bunch of other names that were hurtful. Helia was always there to defend her and was constantly told of how beautiful she was by the male.

"Helia…" She was almost at the lost for words.

"You are always beautiful to me and that something that's never going to change." A blush appeared onto his face.

Flora smiled before kissing his cheek. "We should get going before school starts."

"Yeah." He nodded. Opening the door for her, Helia waited till she was inside before closing the door and headed over to the driver's side.

Starting the car, Helia speed off towards the Magix High school.

Walking inside the large two storey school Flora and Helia headed to the office for their timetable's before heading to their lockers which were right beside each other.

Guys were staring at Flora as she and Helia walked though the hallways. Some were drooling over her with lust clearly in their eyes while others were at a loss for words, trying to figure out what to say to the brunette.

Flora scanned the hallway before reaching her locker. She then whispered to Helia, "The guys look like they want to eat me and the girls look like they want to beat me."

"The guys are just a bunch of hormone crazed teenagers and the girls just realize your beauty and are threatened by it." He answered.

Flora nodded before opening her locker to put in some books. Closing it, Flora took his timetable and compared it.

"We have five different classes together." Flora groaned. "I am supposed to have Home Economics now and you have Art."

"You are the one that wanted to take up cooking." Helia reminded her. "And you won't even need it to become a Vet."

"I wanted to learn how to be a better cook for a special someone." She uttered.

Helia raised a brow as he handed back her timetable. "Who is this special someone?"

Flora blushed, regretting what slipped out of her mouth. "There is this guy I have liked for years now; I just don't have the courage to tell him as yet."

Helia was saddened by the news. "We better get to class."

"I will see you later." Flora hugged him. Helia returned the hug before departing to different parts of the school.

Flora walked towards the Home Economics room thinking. 'I don't need to learn how to cook to be a Vet but would nice to be a great cook for Helia.' She thought. 'The funny thing is he is an amazing cook. He would make a wonderful chef if his dream wasn't to become a graphic designer and journalist.'

Entering the classroom Flora ten girls in the room. They were Stella, Bloom, Tecna, Musa, Disapro, Krystal, Icy, Darcy, Stormy, Selena and Aisha.

'Aisha?' Flora looked back at the curly hair brunette. Walking over to her, Flora gently touched the teen.

Aisha turned around and smiled. "Flora, I didn't know you went to this school."

"I didn't think I would ever see you again." Flora took a seat next to her. "Never thought I would see anyone from camp again."

"Me either." Aisha stated.

Aisha and Flora were roommates at Fat Camp and became friends. The two lost fifty pounds each.

"Didn't know you were moving from Tides to Magix this year." Flora said. "Thought you said your family wasn't moving till you finished school."

"That's what I thought also but we had to move as soon as possible. This was the only school in the area that wouldn't make me repeat." Aisha explained. "Did you tell Helia how you feel?"

"No." Flora sighed. "When I got reached home last night he was already asleep and I chocked when I saw him this morning."

"Flo, I know he really likes you. Any guy that takes the time out to write letters like that is in love." Aisha nudged him.

Flora didn't reply as the teacher entered the classroom.

Helia entered the Art room to see friends Nabu, Timmy, Riven, Sky and Brandon.

Brandon was the first to see him and asked. "Dude, you look happier than usually."

"That's the look of a dude that hooked up with a pretty girl." Riven grinned.

"She came back today, didn't she?" Timmy asked.

"Actually she came back last night and I saw her this morning. She looks even more beautiful than before." Helia answered taking a seat next to Timmy. "I didn't think that was possible."

The others looked lost. "What are you two talking about?" Sky questioned.

"We will talk about later." Helia replied.

Timmy was the only one in the group that knows of Helia's crush on Flora.

Letting it go, Riven said. "Dudes, did you see Flora today? Porky the Pig now looks like a sexy fox now."

Helia became pissed. "Riven, do not call her that!"

"You're right. She was fatter than Porky; Flora was more like an elephant." The purple hair male chuckled.

Helia rose to his feet, turning his hand into a fist. "Do not make fun of her."

"What you going to do about it?" Riven stood up, ready for a fight.

The others had to come in between them.

"Cool down you two." Nabu spoke. "Riven, it's not cool to make fun of people and you know that Flora is Helia's best friend so naturally he would want to defend her."

"Whatever!" Riven huffed.

"Helia, you also have to learn that people are naturally judgemental and that you can't fight off everyone that makes fun of her." Nabu continued.

"I understand." Helia sighed. "I just want to protect her as best as possible."

Something clicked to Sky and Brandon. "You are in love with Flora."

"She is the reason you turned down the hottest girls in school?" Riven asked.

"Students at the back shut up and take out your tools!" A male teacher yelled, entering the room.

As school ended Helia headed to his car, knowing Flora would be waiting for him. A few minutes later he reached to see the brunette sitting on the trunk, talking to Aisha.

"Hey Helia." Flora called out to him.

"Hey." He went over to her and kissed her cheek.

"This is my friend Aisha. She just transferred here and we met at Camp."

"It is nice to meet you Aisha. Flora had mentioned you in her letters." Helia held out his hand.

"It's nice to meet you too. She mentioned you during the time at camp." Hearing a car horn, Aisha turned to see her mother. "I will see you two tomorrow."

"Bye." Flora and Helia waved to her.

Aisha waved back as she ran to the car.

Helia and Flora jumped into the car beside them and headed home.

After a few moments of silence Helia asked. "How was the first day of school?"

"It was pretty good. Aisha is in most of my classes. In Home Economics classes I was put in a group with Aisha, Bloom, Stella, Musa and Tecna." Flora answered.

Helia repeated the last four names she called. "Aren't those the four girls that are always together and formed a group?"

"Yeah, they call themselves 'the Winx'." The brunette commented. "After talking to them during class I realized that they have some of the same interest as me and are pretty nice people."

"You know that the guys love all the girls in that group expect Nabu." Helia told her.

"Let me guess. Timmy likes Tecna, Riven is crushing on Musa, Sky adores Bloom and Brandon wants to be with Stella." Flora spoke. Helia nodded."Have a feeling the girls like them too but are too afraid to mention it."

"What about you? Are you going to tell me who this guy you like is?" He really wanted to know.

'It's now or never.' She thought. "The guy I have loved for so many years, the guy I want to be with is you, Helia."

The raven hair male hit the brake hard. The car stopped in the middle of the road. Cars behind them were beeping for them to move. Helia didn't say a word as he pressed the gas and moved the car to the parking lot nearby which was in front of a beach. Locking it off he turned to Flora who looked clearly embarrassed.

"Flora…" He reached over to her.

Flora stopped him and jumped out of the car. "I shouldn't have said anything. Someone as handsome, wonderful, amazing and smart as you would never be interested in me."

Before Helia could say anything she ran off to the nearby beach. Helia took out the key before running after Flora. The beach was empty since it was after five p.m.

Seeing Flora sitting on top of a rock with her shoes beside her, he ran over calling out. "Flora!"

"Please Helia. You don't have to pity me, I know you don't love me as anything more than a friend." She replied.

Helia kicked off his shoes then climbed up to the top of the rock. Taking a seat beside her, he said. "Flora, you know I would never lie to you. I have loved you for what seems like forever. I thought my feelings for you were pretty clear."

She blushed. "Helia, you had girls that were prettier and skinnier than me throwing themselves at you."

"I am not shallow like most guys Flora. You were and always will be the most beautiful person in my life." He explained. "I love you more than words can explain."

Flora turned to face him. Helia placed his hand onto hers as he moved forward to plant a kiss. Flora was thrilled that Helia was the one to give her, her first kiss and gladly returned it. Helia slid his arms around Flora's petite waist as she wrapped hers around his neck. As the kiss got more intense both didn't notice that the waves were getting higher till the water covered them and dragged them into the sea.

Swimming to the top the pair looked at each other before laughing. Flora swam over to him and planned a kiss on his tender lips. Helia soon returned it as his arms hugged her waist.

Moans were heard as both were clearly happy about the confession.

Nearly a minute passed before the kiss ended. Flora smiled. "I love, love, love you Helia Knightly."

"I love you too, Flora Linepha." Helia declared.

A huge wave covered them. When they came back to the surface both laughed before sealing their new relationship with a kiss.
