"Yeah... then what was going down between you two when I arrived there?" I questioned her.

She looked at me startled . She opened her mouth to speak but words never came out of her mouth. Like she doesn't know how to respond to that.

"I think I got my answer to that." I said and walked out of the dorm. We were back to our collage campus because we didn't really wanted to trouble the Iron Foundation. We had a lot to plan and work. Many of the other students joined our protest.
