Whether intentional or coincidental, Mia’s seat was right next to Zack’s.
Mia smiled and held the popcorn, “Hehe, we can all go get dinner together after the movie.”
I stared blankly ahead, not wanting to engage with her.
Maybe this was the type of movie they usually liked to watch together. Towards the end, Zack was huddled with that group whispering and discussing.
As for me, I was yawning from boredom.
Seeing them chatting happily, I decided to take a little nap.
Who knew that when I opened my eyes again, even the end credits had finished playing.
Our group walked out, with Mia enthusiastically discussing the plot with Zack.
The two of them got more and more engrossed in their conversation, and soon they were walking far ahead of us.
Leaving me to awkwardly stare at Zack’s group of friends behind us.
Maybe my silence made them think I was upset. Some tried to tell jokes to cheer me up, others bought me bubble tea and snacks.
“Don’t take it personally, Olivia. Mia and Zack have known each other for so long that they have similar interests and hobbies. When they start talking, they can go on for hours. None of us dare to interrupt.”
I replied kindly and understandingly: “I know, they’re close childhood friends after all.
It took Zack half an hour to realize he had left me alone with his group of friends.
He quickly ran back and sincerely apologized to me.
“Olivia, I’m so sorry, I –”
I waved my hand, cutting off his excuses.

I waved my hand, cutting off his excuses.
“It’s fine, it’s fine. You and Mia probably haven’t seen each other in a while, right? Taking some time to chat is no big deal. I’m not that petty”
I handed the snacks and bubble tea back to his friends and intimately linked my arm with Zack’s.
“Zack, I’m hungry. Let’s go eat!”
I swear, I had never used such a coquettish voice to talk to anyone in my life.
Of course, the effect was excellent!
Zack’s face turned bright red.
His group of friends were quite lively, with one witty comment after another, all teasing us.
Only Mia stood to the side clenching her fists, her eyes slightly red, without saying a word.
A stark contrast to her talkative and lively demeanor earlier.
