She thought that would be the end of it, but as soon as one left, another showed up. After politely turning down five different guys, Miranda quickly pulled Madison over to a secluded corner to sit.
The spot was hidden away. With dim lighting, it was hard for anyone to notice them. Miranda sighed in relief; finally, a moment of peace.
"Miranda, you're way too popular-I'm half-tempted to ask you for a dance myself," Madison teased.

Madison raised her chin proudly, grinning. "Those guys would be so jealous!" "Is that a bad thing?" "Not at all! It's perfect!" she said, and the two burst into laughter.
"I'll go grab ssnacks!" Madison announced.
Alright." As Miranda opened a bottle of mineral water on the table, she took a sip. With little interest in socializing or snacks, she took out her tablet and began reading a research paper.

Paul took the microphone, gave a few polite remarks, and quickly wrapped up his speech. He then handed back the mic and returned to his seat. The light followed him as he sat, then faded away.
"That's it?" Miranda whispered.
"What else?" He laughed. "Did you expectto deliver an academic report?" She snickered. "You could give it a try." "I'd be afraid of putting everyone to sleep." "So, Dr. Jefferson, you call this way just to.give a quick opening remark?" "Unfortunately, sometimes you have to fulfill a few assigned duties."
