The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella)

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.

Lisa was in the middle of asking Mirabella if she knew Meg and Taylor when she saw them heading their way. She gripped her fork a bit tighter and whispered, "Looks like they're coming over."

Mirabella wasn't interested in Meg and Taylor and just gave Lisa a sidelong glance without saying anything.

As Taylor and Meg approached, Taylor greeted Mirabella first, his face breaking into a smile, "Hey, Mirabella."

Meg just glanced at Mirabella, her expression cool and distant, before pulling out a chair and sitting down. She placed her lunch tray on the table.

"Hi, Taylor," Mirabella replied politely.

Taylor nodded and took a seat. He then looked at Lisa and, always polite, asked, "And you are...?"

Lisa, facing Taylor, was a bit stunned. This was one of the top five influential figures at school and a total heartthrob!

Seeing Lisa's dumbfounded look, Mirabella shook her head and introduced her, "She's a classmate from my department, Lisa."

Taylor introduced himself briefly to Lisa and then turned back to Mirabella, "We didn't get a chance to exchange contact info back at Parkside High. What major are you in now?"

"Bioinformatics," Mirabella replied, then glanced down at her watch.

"Biological Sciences?" Taylor turned to Meg, "That's your department too, right, Luna?"noveldrama

Meg, who hadn't said much the whole time, saw Taylor bring it up and felt compelled to acknowledge it, nodding, "Yeah, although we're in the same department, it's not exactly like we..."

Before she could finish, Mirabella stood up, "You guys enjoy your meal. I have some things to take care of and need to leave."
