(Are you Sleeping Beauty?]

Stephanie suddenly received a friend request, so she hung up on Vincent’s call and logged onto WhatsApp.

SnugglePig: [What Sleeping Beauty? How could I have such an artsy WhatsApp name?)

Molly Snuggleton went emotional, bombarding Stephanie with messages.

SnugglePig: [Stephanie, you heartless thing. Don’t act like you don’t remember me. I’m Molly.)

[Back in high school, I slept under your bunk, remember? You used to skip class all the time, and I got dragged into helping you fake attendance.”

Stephanie’s face lit up with realization as she remembered that cute girl

StephForce: [Why don’t you change your WhatsApp name to PiggyClimbs? Weren’t you abroad? You’re coming back?

SnugglePig: [Pfft, there’s not even a man in sight. Where am I gonna climb? You hit me where it hurts right away. Are all the guys at the company blind? I’m so cute, but none of them makes a move.)

Stephanie chuckled at the barrage of frustrated expressions she received, feeling like she was back in high school. Back then, Molly used to stick to her like glue. They lost touch during college for some reason.

SnugglePig: [Stephanie, are you married?]

Stephanie replied with a poker face: [Twice.]

Molly freaked out. [Are you kidding me? You’ve been with two men already. Why can’t I get married?]

StephForce: [They are scumbags.]

SnugglePig: (Who did you marry? What did your ex and current husband look like? Do they have our previous TA handsome?]

StephForce: [Which TA?)

Stephanie remembered her high school had a direct college section, and in the second half of senior year, the school often had professors from the college section teach the top students. Most of those professors were bald and old.

SnugglePig: [Stephanie, I bet five cents your husband is a fatso. How can you forget the super handsome TA we had at school? He was the talk of the town!]
