What We Buried: A Time Capsule’s Dark Secret

Fifteen years after high school, I returned to my hometown for the unearthing of our time capsule. What was meant to be a nostalgic reunion stirred unexpected emotions, especially when I saw Brian and Jess again. Brian had ended things with me back then—suddenly, without explanation—and Jess, my best friend, disappeared from my life not long after.

The night we buried that capsule had left me heartbroken and bewildered. As we dug it up, I discovered a letter inside addressed to me, written in Jess’s handwriting. In it, she confessed to spreading a rumor about me and Malcolm, and to faking messages that made Brian believe I had cheated.

She admitted she’d done it out of jealousy, wanting to take something from me—even Brian, whom she…

Fifteen years after high school, I returned to my hometown for the unearthing of our time capsule. What was meant to be a nostalgic reunion stirred unexpected emotions, especially when I saw Brian and Jess again. Brian had ended things with me back then—suddenly, without explanation—and Jess, my best friend, disappeared from my life not long after.

The night we buried that capsule had left me heartbroken and bewildered. As we dug it up, I discovered a letter inside addressed to me, written in Jess’s handwriting. In it, she confessed to spreading a rumor about me and Malcolm, and to faking messages that made Brian believe I had cheated.

She admitted she’d done it out of jealousy, wanting to take something from me—even Brian, whom she never truly loved. The betrayal cut deep, but the truth finally explained the silence that had haunted me for years. I confronted Jess, and for the first time, she offered a genuine apology.

We talked—about the past, yes, but also about what might still be salvaged of our friendship. Brian approached me too, and apologized for not giving me the chance to explain. We both admitted we had carried our feelings all these years—and despite everything, the spark was still there.

Brian asked me out. I hesitated, then said yes—on one condition: he had to win me a new locket, just like the one he gave me all those years ago. It was a small, hopeful gesture—a new beginning rooted in old memories and long-buried truths. Maybe some things, even after all this time, still deserve a second chance.
