As they followed Lee, Larry soon helped Joan complete her registration.
As Joan could not stay on campus, they managed to complete the relevant procedures with Lee’s help.
After bidding farewell to the lecturer, Joan then went to look for the school counselor, who was supposed to be in Joan’s class.
With the help of various students on the campus, the two found their way to Joan’s class.
There was barely anyone in the class. That day was the day was freshmen orientation; the students had left after reporting their attendance.
By the stage was a woman who looked like a lecturer, and she was reading some documents.
After knocking on the door, Joan said, “Hello, may I know if you’re Ms. Callow?”
“Yes, that’s me. You’re…”
The woman raised her head when she heard Joan’s voice. Then, a look of surprise flashed across her face when she saw Joan. The next look that crept onto her face was a joyous one.
“Joan, it’s really you! Are you back to study again?” the woman asked.
“I’m a freshman. You’re… Jaylene Callow?” Joan guessed as she stared at the familiar face.
“Yes, that’s me! I was just thinking of you when I saw the name Joan Watts. I thought someone had the same name as you, but it turns out that it’s really you. What a coincidence!”
Jaylene then hurried toward Joan, wanting to see her old friend.
Jaylene used to be Joan’s classmate. Both Gabriella and Jaylene had been her best friends back then. When Jaylene found out that Joan was leaving at that time, she cried buckets.
“It’s been a few years, and now, you’re a teacher,” Joan said wistfully.
Time went by in a blink of an eye. The innocent young girl was now a teacher of many.
“Yes, after graduating, I chose to stay at Bainewich College and become a lecturer. After all, this has always been my dream. This is my first year as a school counselor. I never thought I’d meet you.”
Jaylene sighed. “What a small world for us to meet in this way.”
After a moment of silence, she continued, “By the way, Joan, why did you think of coming back to study? I recalled sobbing miserably when you left.”
As Joan was her old friend, Jaylene looked nothing like a lecturer at that very second. Once again, she was the energetic, bubbly girl she used to be.
“I had to drop out due to some matters back then. I’ve always felt regretful about not completing my studies. To alleviate the regret, I did everything to improve myself. That’s why I’m back here at Bainewich. Jaylene, you’ve got to take good care of me here,” Joan cheekily said as she stuck out her tongue at Jaylene.
“Don’t worry. I’ll do my best as the counselor,” Jaylene responded proudly.
The two then chuckled.
“By the way, Joan, how were your past few years? Who came with you this time? Do you have a boyfriend? Quick, tell me everything!”
Jaylene’s rapid question was an obvious sign that she was close to Joan.
“Jaylene, I’m married. You know my husband too.”
Joan did not plan to hide anything from her old friend.
“Larry, come in quickly. She’s our old friend.”
Joan had been the only one to step into the room earlier while Larry stood outside, looking at the scenery.
When he heard Joan calling out for him, he strode into the room.
“Wow, Joan, this is your husband? Isn’t he the popular man among the girls, Larry?” Jaylene exclaimed when she saw Larry.
“So the two of you are the college sweethearts that others are jealous about. I didn’t know the two of you are married. It’s just great news! I’m happy for the two of you,” Jaylene sincerely told them.
