Group-chat!

Wtf — Danai

I can't believe this. What do you think they'll do? — Annika

This is NYU, they're probably just putting up a front. He's stable, no harm done. — Idris

Idris is right. Half the school was there. They can't kick us all out. — Royale

Don't worry, I'll handle it. — Damson

Danai and I are on a scholarship. This is specifically why I didn't want to go. — Annika

It's not like we planned for this to happen. — Royale

I can't go back to South Africa. — Danai

You're not leaving, me. I won't allow them to take you, even if that means paying your scholarship myself. — Idris

Neither can I, without NYU, I can't be in my internship, and I need the money. — Annika

You're not losing your internship, or your scholarship, Arewa. I'll figure this out. I told you, not to worry!
The best thing, we can do for now is to stick together, and hope for the best. — Damson

Fine, whatever you say. — Annika

"Will all senior students find a seat, and wait for their name to be called? First is, Ella Levine."

"Will all junior students find a seat, and wait for their name to be called? First is, Damson Taiwo."

Damson

Royale glances at me, as I attain for the door. "I'll be out in 3 minutes.", a smirk reaches Royale's mouth, as my eyes playfully roll, twisting the door knob. Loud creek. "Good Evening Dean. Or should I say morning, I don't appreciate waiting for 3 hours. Forfeiting my beauty sleep.", a smirk increases on my lips, as the dean rolls his eyes. "I don't appreciate seeing your face twice this week."

A chuckle departs from my mouth. "How did you get into the pool, if it was locked? You needed a key. A key, I'm guessing came from someone acquitted with you on the swim team. Perhaps, your friend, Royale." I roll my eyes, it's going to take more than that to get me to break.

"I had no idea where the key came from, and I won't be answering any more questions without relevance to me."

"I see your political science, law path is coming in handy—", A chuckle departs from my lips, as a faint smirk appears on my lips. Finally something worth speaking about.
