Mia was chilling in the backseat, wrapping her arms around her husband with admiration and zero shyness. She planted a kiss on his cheek. "Babe, you're incredible! The teacher wants us to check for plagiarism."
Andre's face was all smiles, his happiness almost bubbling over. "Seems like we passed. Was writing the paper tough?"
Mia nodded. "Tough, but with you by my side, it's a walk in the park!" Her words were as sweet as a kitten's purr.
Andre felt his heart melt at her words.
The sisters were over the moon, not expecting their first draft to be the final one, dodging all the troubles they thought they'd face. They couldn't wait to brag to Leo from the backseat.
Leo was out grabbing dinner with his roommates and missed their messages.
"Leo, thanks a million," Tony kept saying, his gratitude for Leo never running dry, even if everyone else was tired of hearing it.
Later, everyone got the scoop from Tony about Leo's good deeds, and it made their friendship even stronger.
Leo didn't drive over, knowing he'd be sharing drinks with Tony and the gang.
The roommates were rooting for Tony to succeed because having go-getters around inspires everyone to step up their game.
Leo often mused about how people differed. Some folks would do anything to hit their goals, thinking it was a vital skill in any job. Others stuck to their moral compass, avoiding anything shady, even if it meant missing out on opportunities.
Some were envious, wishing their friends well but not too well. Others were genuinely happy, hoping their friends would keep rising because it pushed them to do the same.
