Mia laughed, "Don't you two think you look awfully alike? I've heard that couples start to look more like each other the longer they're together. Is that the case with you two?"
Both hollered a loud "buzz off!"
Jade exclaimed, "Really, Mia? Jokes at a time like this?"
Mia replied seriously, "I'm not joking. You and Leo really do look similar. When I first met you, I thought you were Leo's long-lost twin sister."
Leo retorted, "Bullshit! I'm an only child. Besides, Jade's only six months older than me, how could my mom have given birth to her?"
Mia replied, "I know you two aren't actually related, that's why I never brought it up," Then she added, "If you two publicly announce that you're a couple, Leo's bad reputation would be gone. And then, I can clear up the misunderstandings about me."
"I don't give a damn about that reputation. How about you? What are you going to do? I'm telling you; we have gym class soon. If you step onto the field, hundreds of people will be pointing fingers at you."
Mia raised an eyebrow, "Then let's have your Grandpa show up during our gym class."
"What?!"
"You're nuts!"
Her two friends were in shock at Mia's idea.
Mia's anger was just a momentary reaction when she saw the post. Once she cooled down, she comforted herself by thinking that those who badmouthed her were just jealous. Plus, the rumors were ridiculously false. If she clarified the truth, she would still be innocent.
"Mia, are you okay?" Jade asked, worried that Mia had lost her mind out of fury.
Mia smiled at her, "It's no big deal. No need to get worked up."
"No big deal? You, being the hot topic on the forum is no big deal?" Leo couldn't understand Mia's way of thinking.
She had always been like that. Regardless of how big the problem was, she'd always brush it off as if it was no big deal.
Like that one time when she was beaten up so badly that her wrist almost stopped moving; she endured the pain and called it a "minor issue".
And sometimes, she'd make a huge fuss over trivial matters, which could give everyone a headache.
For instance, she had a splinter on her hand during the autumn and winter season. Afraid of the pain, she didn't dare to remove it and made a big scene by going to the hospital for it.
People like her were really hard to understand.
Mia looked at Leo and asked, "Did this hurt you?"
Leo shook his head.
"Did it cost you money?"
Again, Leo shook his head.
"Did it threaten your safety?"
Leo shook his head once more.
"Did it destabilize the society?"
Leo gave in, "Okay, okay, I admit it's just a minor issue."
Mia nodded, "Right. Now let's go to class."
Leo and Jade were both speechless.
As the three of them walked into the classroom, all the chatter stopped.
Over forty people watched them sit in the back row.
Mia even cheerfully said to everyone, "Don't mind us! Continue your discussion. Feel free to speak louder so I can hear too."
