ONE SUNNY SUNDAY AFTERNOON IN A SMALL TOWN CALLED SEDGEFIELD, BELLAMY AND LAUREN MET. IT WAS 2000 AND THE GIRLS WERE YOUNG AND LOVED PLAYING OUTSIDE IN THE SUN. WHILST SWIMMING IN THE LAGOON, LAUREN CONVINCED BELLAMY TO CYCLE TO A SHOP AND BUY SWEETS WITH HER. WITHOUT ANY PARENTAL PERMISSION, THE GIRLS SNUCK TO THE SHOP AND ATE FISTS FULL OF SWEETS ON THE WAY HOME. EVEN THOUGH THE GIRLS HAD A FANTASTIC TIME, THEIR PATHS WOULD ONLY CROSS AGAIN IN 2020, WHERE THEY ENDED UP WORKING AT THE SAME SCHOOL. NOW, IN 2022 BELLAMY AND LAUREN HAVE STARTED BELLALA, WHICH MAKES LEARNING ALMOST AS FUN AS SNEAKING TO THE SHOPS ON A COUPLE OF BIKES AND EATING SWEETS.
