Overview[]

Although the pair were originally from Lakehurst Secondary School, Mia transferred to Degrassi Community School a semester before Sav, as he began attending Degrassi when Lakehurst and Degrassi merged due to Lakehurst's building burning down to the ground. She developed a crush on him in the seventh season, which ended when Sav told her that he had feelings for another girl (Anya MacPherson). The two kept a friendly relationship with each other, when Mia began to date Sav's friend and bandmate, Peter Stone. They often hung out together in groups, and double dated, as Mia was friends with Sav's girlfriend, Anya. The two were friends until Mia left Degrassi to pursue a modeling job in Paris, France.
