Taylor, Meg, and a few of their classmates had just grabbed their lunch and were searching for a spot to sit. The cafeteria was already packed.
Meg glanced around and spotted a few empty seats nearby. She turned to Taylor and said, "Hey, let's sit over there..."
She trailed off when she noticed Mirabella sitting at one of the tables. Her voice faltered, and her eyebrows knitted in frustration. It was like she could never avoid running into her.
Like a bad penny.
Taylor noticed Meg's sudden silence and curiously followed her gaze.
Mirabella was stunning, with an effortless grace that made her unforgettable.
Taylor's eyes landed on her, and a flicker of surprise crossed his face. But then he remembered Mirabella was a scholarship student at Prestige College, and his expression returned to normal.
He wasn't really interested in anything outside of his academic research and didn't keep track of who topped the final exams.
However, he had briefly met her back at Parkside High School and had a good impression. Mr. Hammond from Parkside had also mentioned looking out for Mirabella. So, he said to Meg, "That looks like Mirabella, Luna. Should we go say hi?"
Meg didn't really want to see Mirabella. Just the sight of her made her feel irritated.
But she didn't want to show her dislike in front of Taylor, especially since she had some questions to discuss with him. After a moment's thought, she nodded, "Alright, let's go. There are empty seats by her, anyway."
Taylor nodded, and soon they were walking towards Mirabella and Lisa.
