"Your hair's all messy." Mia Ginger quickly raised her hand to cover her hair, pouted at him, and lightly hopped up the steps to grab the handle of her small suitcase again.
"Go on up." Koa Jackson urged her again, unsure of how many times he'd said it already.
Strangely, Mia felt reluctant to leave.
This feeling suddenly became overwhelming. Standing under the plane tree, looking at Koa Jackson a few steps away, she almost wanted to cry.
She nodded and turned around before the tears could well up in her eyes.

Koa Jackson was still standing there. Seeing her turn back, he lifted his hand and waved outward.
Mia waved and smiled, and then she entered the dormitory building.
