I ended up buying the outfit. I didn't care what it looked like on to be honest. Isn't it supposed to look atrocious anyway?

"Guys I'm really upset with my purchase." Cassie suddenly said as we neared the dorm corridor, swinging her garment bag around with pouted lips.

"Why?" I asked, the same time Saph said, "Well then why did you buy it?"

"Because it's a dead person," Cassie said, face scrunched up. "Shouldn't we at least give it a funeral?" She asked. I almost couldn't take the innocence—then I started laughing. The girls joined in but I quickly sobered up.

"It's fine, Cassie, they wouldn't have had it on display if they hadn't given it a funeral." I reassured her quickly, and she instantly grinned, all signs of her sadness completely wiped off her face.

"Well, that's great!" She skipped over to her dorm, "bye, guys!" She yelled before disappearing behind the door.

I shook my head, "I have no idea how Kim manages to live with that girl." I commented and Avery stifled a laugh.

"She doesn't." She responded and I laughed. Saph suddenly caught up to us and grabbed onto my arm, pulling me away from Avery.

"Thank the Lord, the sea, the sky, and the heavens above." She muttered, maybe too loudly, as we walked away from Avery and Bria.

I smiled, "Didn't enjoy your talk with Bria?" I asked, watching as Saph turned to glare at me.

Then she forced a grin onto her face. "It was great! Until she asked me about the fight that I never had with Jonah the other day." She rolled her eyes and sighed, slumping over in a form that you would never catch Saph in.

"Did you find out what it was about?" I asked her, being cautious about how much I said and how loud I said it.

Saph shook her head, a look of distaste on her face. "He wouldn't tell me anything." She went suddenly quiet, then turned to look at me. "But, I was thinking..." she trailed off, but got interrupted just as she began to speak again.

"Bye, guys!" Avery waved at us as Bria and her slowed down by her dorm room. I grinned and waved over at her, Saph and I both shouting our farewells back. I watched Avery and Bria embrace, and I knew that Avery was murmuring something to Bria as she did so; I decided to give them some privacy and turned around.

"Could you, maybe, find out what happened?" She asked. "I heard that you know the girl he fought with." She smiled sheepishly, a look of hope in her eyes.

I sighed. "I'd ask how you know, but I guess everyone would make connections sooner or later," I was referring to how Alexi would be my Guardian soon, but Saph didn't know that, so I continued talking.

"Sorry, Saph, but I don't really talk to her. But if I see her, then maybe I'll try." I suggested.

Saph shook her head and exhaled. "It's fine. I guess I'll just have to ask Jonah again, because it's really bugging me." She told me honestly.
