Chapter 79

It had been a couple of weeks since Linus and Tala's first encounter at the school. Linus found himself thinking about her from time to time, but he didn't want to get his hopes up. However, something unexpected happened one evening that took him by surprise.

Linus was eating in the dining room when he heard a notification sound from his phone, and it caught his attention. He reached for his device, and as he unlocked his phone, he couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. He saw that he had a friend request on his social media account. To his surprise, it was Tala.

It read: "Crystal Fuernent has added you as a friend."

Linus's eyes widened in surprise, and he immediately stood up from his seat. The sudden movement caught the attention of the people he was dining with, and he quickly cleared his throat before slowly sitting back in his chair. "Sorry," he muttered, trying to regain his composure.
