Mia wasn't enthusiastic about going to the high school reunion, but when she heard the name "Taylor", she immediately understood Gina's motivation for attending.
After all, Gina had always harbored a secret admiration for Taylor!
Mia chuckled playfully as she quipped, "Gigi, are you considering going to the class reunion, or are you more excited about seeing Taylor?"
Gina nervously cleared her throat. "Mia, please don't phrase it that way. I simply thought if Taylor was the one organizing the reunion, it wouldn't be ideal if only a few people attended.
"But I do feel a bit awkward going alone. Would you be willing to accompany me?"
"Of course, I'd be happy to." Mia couldn't possibly turn down Gina's request.
Given Gina and Taylor's shared history, along with Gina's internship at the same company as Taylor's, their interactions had undeniably grown more frequent.
With any luck, this reunion might just spark something between Taylor and Gina.
"In that case, I'll go ahead and add you to the WhatsApp group for the class reunion."
"Sounds good."
After ending the call, Mia made her way to the study hall.
As she settled into her seat, her attention was drawn to the multiple WhatsApp notifications lighting up her phone from the reunion group chat.
Upon opening the chat, she noticed several ongoing conversations among the members.
Gina had even specifically mentioned her. "Welcome, Mia, to the group."
Mia replied with a waving emoji before placing her phone down to concentrate on her studies.
During a restroom break, she checked her phone again and discovered that someone had mentioned her in the group chat.
"Mia, why aren't you responding to everyone? Don't act aloof!"
Gina interjected, trying to explain on Mia's behalf. "Mia is probably studying in the study hall. She's busy preparing for her exams."
"Pfft, I heard Mia withdrew from university for a few years. I couldn't believe it until now. It looks like she's back to studying and taking exams.
