Evelyn: twirling her hair Oh! I-I never noticed h-how beautiful your studio is! 😊
Georgia smiles warmly, walking around her paintings. Yeah... I got more of them though.
giggles nervously G-g-gosh, Georgia! Your paintings are like... like magic! They're so captivating! Can I... can I touch them? Please?
Georgia laughs softly. Sure, Evelyn. They're yours too, after all.
steps closer to one of the paintings, gently touching the surface O-oh my goodness... I-I feel like I'm t-touching a cloud! Are you really a p-p-painting prodigy?
Georgia blushes. Not a prodigy, just someone trying to make a living.
wide-eyed Trying to make a living? Oh, Georgia, you're so much more than that! I-I mean, look at these pieces! Each one is a masterpiece!
Georgia chuckles, picking up a paintbrush. You think these are masterpieces? I could make more like them.
eyes shining with determination Y-you should! Oh my gosh, Georgia, your talent deserves to be seen by the world!
Georgia smiles, admiring Evelyn's passion. That's sweet of you to say. But what about you? What kind of painting do you do?
grabs a notepad and pen from her bag O-oh, um... I-I used to d-d-do some graffiti art back in my hometown.
Georgia raises an eyebrow. Graffiti art? That's quite a departure from your current watercolors. Why the change of heart?
giggles nervously W-w-well, y-you see... I used to be part of a street art group.
Georgia grins, intrigued. Really? So you were a little vandal?
nods sheepishly Y-yeah, something like that. W-w-we would paint murals on buildings and walls, leaving our mark on the city.
Georgia playfully leans in. And did you get into trouble?
nervously chuckles Oh, you have no idea! We were like a bunch of rebellious teenagers, sneaking around, painting under the cover of darkness.
Georgia laughs. Sounds like you have some exciting stories from your youth!
As Evelyn reminisces about her past as a graffiti artist, she accidentally reveals that the two of them went to the same high school and shared a secret crush on the same person.
Georgia looks surprised. Wait, you went to my high school? Seriously?
stuttering W-w-what?! Oh my gosh, Georgia, I didn't even know that we went to the same high school! T-that's so crazy!
Georgia's eyes widen in surprise. Wow, Evelyn... talk about a small world! Who would've thought?
blushing and giggling R-really, Georgia? We went to the same high school?! That's, like, fate or something!
Georgia blushes, smiling shyly. Well, I'll be damned. Guess we have a lot of catching up to do.
claps her hands excitedly Oh my gosh, Georgia! Catching up, huh? That sounds like a p-p-plan for the perfect evening! Let's go grab some coffee and chat about everything!
Georgia nods, blushing. Sure, let's do it.
grabs Georgia's hand, pulling her towards the door Come on, Georgia! We have so much to talk about! Let's start with our favorite high school memories!
Georgia laughs as they head out the door. Alright, lead the way, Evelyn.
pulls Georgia closer, walking briskly Oh, Georgia, you won't believe this! Do you remember Mr. Thompson, our art teacher?
Georgia laughs, following Evelyn. Of course, I remember Mr. Thompson! He was the one who suspended us for painting a giant mural on the school's wall!
giggles Haha, yeah! And d-d-do you remember what he said to us after we got caught?
Georgia tries to contain her laughter. He told us we had "artistic potential"... and then proceeded to give us detention for a week!
laughs Haha, oh my gosh, Georgia! That was the best detention ever! I mean, we actually learned something and had fun at the same time!
Georgia smiles, nodding. Yeah, it was definitely memorable. I wonder if Mr. Thompson still remembers us.
stops walking suddenly O-oh, Georgia, there's only one way to find out! Let's look him up online! Maybe we can even send him a message and catch up!
Georgia chuckles, taking out her phone. Sure, why not? Let's see what he's up to these days.
quickly pulls out her phone and opens her social media app Okay, Georgia, let's search for Mr. Thompson's profile.
Georgia types his name into the search bar. Here goes nothing.
scrolling through profiles Hmmm, there are so many profiles with his name... Which one is the real Mr. Thompson?
