Chapter 9: Back to School

The school camping trip had come to an end, and Ginah and Miya were back on campus. As they settled back into their routine, Ginah couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia for their time at the village. She had grown closer to Miya, and she had started to develop feelings for her that she couldn't ignore.

As they walked across campus, Miya turned to Ginah and smiled. "I had a great time on the trip," she said. "I'm so glad we got to spend time together."

Ginah smiled back, feeling a flutter in her chest. "Me too," she said. "I had a great time getting to know you better."

Miya's smile faltered for a moment, and Ginah could see a hint of uncertainty in her eyes. "Yeah, me too," she said, looking away.

Ginah wondered if she had misread the situation. Maybe Miya didn't feel the same way. But as they walked into their first class of the day, Ginah caught Miya looking at her, a soft expression on her face.

Throughout the day, Ginah couldn't help but notice the way Miya looked at her. It was as if she was seeing her in a new light, and Ginah couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement.

As they walked out of their last class, Miya turned to Ginah and asked, "Hey, want to grab drinks with me?"

Ginah's heart skipped a beat. "Yeah, I'd love to," she said, trying to sound casual.

As they walked to the shop, Ginah couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation. What would happen next? Would Miya confess her feelings, or would things go back to normal?

As they sat down at a table, Miya looked at Ginah and said, "I've been thinking a lot about our time at the village."

Ginah's heart was racing. "Yeah?" she said, trying to sound nonchalant.

Miya nodded. "I realized that I really enjoy spending time with you. You're an amazing person, Ginah."

Ginah felt a surge of happiness. "Thanks, Miya. I feel the same way about you."

Miya looked at her, her eyes searching. "Really?" she said, her voice barely above a whisper.

Ginah nodded, her heart pounding in her chest. "Yes, really."

As they sat there, looking into each other's eyes, Ginah knew that something was about to change. She could feel the tension between them, the unspoken feelings that had been building for weeks.

And then, just as suddenly as it had started, everything changed. Miya looked away, breaking the spell, and Ginah was left wondering what had just happened.

But as they finished their drinks and walked out of the shop, Ginah couldn't help but feel a sense of hope. Maybe, just maybe, something was about to happen between her and Miya. Something that would change everything.
