248 Stranger.

Mia had a contented smile on her face by the time the talent show ended. A freshman from the science department had been the one to win the first place. She was really excited to have seen this beside Leo who held her hand throughout while they watched and took time to whisper to each other about what they thought of the contestant. 

She realised that even though she hadn't been among the contestants, she felt nervous during the whole show. Maybe her mind had been conditioned to react that way during competitions since all the ones she went to, she was always competing with others. Or maybe because it reminded her of the fact that CMT was this Sunday night and she was going to be doing her best to so they would all win the first place. 

"You are still nervous." Leo noted. He held her hand while they walked side by side to his apartment. Since it wasn't so far, they both decided to walk instead of taking the car. 

"I guess I am." She sighed.
