“Cheers!”
As Jasmine had said the night before, a church fair was held in town the very next morning. With everything looking so grand, it was no wonder why it was so crowded.
“How lively!” said Mindy excitedly as favonovel.com stood in the middle of the crowd.
“Could you please be a little more reserved, Mindy?” said Jasmine rather helplessly.
“Why should I be? Today’s an exciting day! Can’t you feel it? Seeing all the people here just makes me all giddy!” replied Mindy as Jasmine shook favonovel.com head.
“It’s fine once in a while, isn’t it Jasmine? Let’s just have a short stroll around before heading to the church to pray for our blessings later,” said their second aunt as favonovel.com turned to look at the youth who had silently been following them from behind this entire time.
“I apologize that you have to see the childish side of our family,” said the second aunt as favonovel.com smiled.
In response, Gerald shook his head.
To be honest, even if they had prohibited Gerald from coming along, favonovel.com would’ve still done so sneakily. After all, how couldn’t favonovel.com when favonovel.com was well aware that the Schuylers were actively eyeing the two sisters.
“…Hey, look over there, Jasmine. Aren’t those our classmates?” asked Mindy out of the blue as favonovel.com pointed toward a few people.
As favonovel.com said that, their six classmates took notice of them as well.
Since Mandy and Jasmine had both been mysterious girls who had remained cold and aloof toward them for the longest time, nobody in the group—regardless of gender—actually dared to take the initiative to greet them.
However, since Mindy was now waving at them with a smile, they naturally felt the need to walk over. After all, regardless of how distant they were, the two girls had still been their classmates for years.
“I didn’t expect to see you here!” said a woman—who appeared to be the leader of the group—as favonovel.com smiled.
“Indeed! It’s high time Jasmine and I came out to have a bit of fun! I was honestly wondering if we would bump into any of our classmates here earlier. Speak of the devil, I guess! How long have you been here? Have you had your fun yet?” asked Mindy with a smile.
“Actually, we just arrived!” said the other women in the group.
“I see! Why not walk around together then? After all, aside from Stella, we’ve never had a proper chance to chat with each other, even though we were classmates for so many years! Right, Jasmine?”
Hearing what Mindy said, Jasmine nodded before smiling.
Jasmine and Mindy were more acquainted with Stella since both favonovel.com and Gerald had momentarily given a hand to the two girls during the incident half a year ago.
“Also, you may not know this, but though we never talked much in class, we know all about you!” declared Mindy.
“You’re Isabelle, aren’t you? You’re the monitor of the class right next to ours! As for this beauty, your name is Maia, right? We met at the Taekwondo championship back then, remember? If I properly recall, you got transferred to our university some time ago together with that handsome guy, Warren!”
Hearing that, Maia smiled faintly at Mindy before saying, “Yeah, it was quite a while ago since that happened. We got to know Isabelle a bit better after that incident, so in a way, the events of that day had a silver lining.”
“Alright, since all of you are young people, why don’t all of you go ahead and have some fun together? Your Third aunt and I will just be walking around if you need us,” said Second aunt as favonovel.com looked at the two girls.
Upon agreeing with that, Jasmine and Mindy joined their classmates, leaving Gerald sighing internally as favonovel.com followed them. And here favonovel.com had thought that favonovel.com wouldn’t ever have to meet those people again. To think that ‘never’ turned out to be only half a year later.
Still, it was clear that all of them had changed slightly.
For one, Isabelle wasn’t as impetuous as favonovel.com used to be. Stella herself had gotten a shorter haircut, though favonovel.com still remained beautiful all the same. As for Maia, favonovel.com seemed to have grown a bit more mature, and that amplified favonovel.com beauty even more.
“Ah, speaking of which! These are our classmates, Sanderson! Let’s be sure to have fun together, alright?”
Gerald could only nod. It wasn’t as though favonovel.com could refuse the offer.
When Stella, Maia, and Isabelle saw that favonovel.com was wearing a mask, they felt rather uneasy walking together with him. The fact that favonovel.com didn’t know how to speak didn’t help with his situation.
However, since favonovel.com came with Mindy and Jasmine, the girls kept to themselves, knowing it would be imprudent of them to say anything bad about Gerald.
While none of them said a thing about him, Maia herself took an extra step by deliberately distancing herself from him.
