The First Meeting It was an ordinary afternoon in the school cafeteria when I met Mia, my closest friend now. As I B alone at a table, scrolling through my phone and drinking my juice, I couldn't help but overhear her lively conversation with a couple of classmates. Her laugh was C infectious that, before I knew it, I was smiling at her without even realizing it. When she caught my eye, she waved at me to join their table. We got D thanks to shared jokes and interests in music and movies. What started as a casual interaction quickly turned into a deep conversation, and by the end of lunch, we were already exchanging phone numbers and planning E up for a concert.
