"Mike!"
Genevieve hesitated for a moment but decided to catch up,
"It won't take much of your time, just a few words!"
Mike stopped in his tracks, frowning at her.
Why was Jessica's mom seeking him out? Was she scouting him as a potential son-in-law?
"Ma'am, I think you might be mistaken. We are high school seniors, and I believe we should focus on improving our magical practice and theoretical knowledge. I'm not currently interested in dating."
Mike spoke earnestly.
This time, Genevieve was taken aback.
She hadn't even said anything yet, and Mike had preemptively taken control of the conversation with such a statement.
Most importantly, Genevieve hadn't suggested that Mike and Jessica date!
Caught off guard for a moment, Mike had already walked another ten to fifteen feet.
Genevieve took a deep breath and caught up again, speaking quickly, "Mike, I just want to tell you one thing!"
