Give the benefit of the doubt

* Allie's POV *

I have just woke up after spending the night tossing and turning. Why was Cayleigh talking to Tate? Was there more to this? All these questions were spinning around in my head and I couldn't shake it off. I need to speak to Christina.

I got up and put on my work out clothes. I grabbed my headphones and headed to the on site gym. I needed to work out how I was feeling. I got totally lost in my work out and didn't even realise the time.

I headed back to the apartment, punched in the number into the keypad and pushed open the door. I could smell eggs cooking.

I walked into the kitchen. "Good Morning Allie, wow looks like you got a good workout in." Dylan said cooking off some eggs. I looked down and realised that I was sweating heavily.

"Ohhh yea, I got a bit lost in it this morning, I didn't sleep well." I said whilst making us both some coffee.

"Oh, why what's up?" He asked looking at me.

"It's a bit complicated but all I know is something feels off and I need to speak to Christina." I sighed.

"Look, I don't know the situation but whatever it is speak to Christina and tell the truth. Why don't we grab coffee at the cafe later? I have some morning class  but we can go, say around 3.30pm? We also need to go shopping for a Halloween outfit for the school dance coming up." He said.

"Yes that would be amazing. I'll explain everything then. Oh my god yea of course the dance it totally slipped my mind. It's in a week, this Friday right?" I asked him.

"Yea that's it, anyways here's breakfast. I need to run as I need to get ready and leave. I'll speak to you later Allie. Thanks for the coffee" He said walking out the room.

"See you later, thanks for breakfast Dylan!" I shouted back through the hallway.

I took my time this morning. I phoned my Mum and caught up with her. I think she could tell something was wrong but I didn't want to get into it so I just covered it up by saying the work load was hard at the moment. She said she couldn't wait to see me home for the Holidays. To be honest, I couldn't wait to see them all too. I had a nice long shower, washed my hair and did my full routine. I got dressed, did my makeup and wash and grabbed my belongings together. I had my TA session with Christina today as it was Tuesday so it will give the perfect opportunity to talk to her then. I just need to get it out.

I put my shoes on, threw my backpack over my shoulder and I headed out into the cool late morning breeze. It was chilly but still no where near as cold as the UK would get this time of year. I could never deal with that weather, it wasn't for me.

The walk only took about 10 minutes and I was on the busy campus, among the noise of hundreds of students making their way to classes. I walked through the crisp Autumn leaves and air and made my way to Christina's office. The walk gave me time to clear my head a bit.

*knock knock*

"Enter" Christina said in a firm tone of voice.
I pushed open the door, she was sitting on her chair doing some paperwork and sipping her coffee.

She lifted her glasses on top of her head and sat back in her chair, looking at me.

"Good Morning Allie, ready for our TA session?" She asked smoothly. She could change her tone in a drop of a hat.

"Good Morning Miss Powers, um yes I am." I said dryly looking down at the floor.

I think she could tell my tone was off. "Right okay then, well first could you make these papers for me? It's quite simple, it's just a tick box exercise. Here are the answers." She said gesturing to the sheets of paper.
