Sarah: So you guys are moving?

Dale: Not yet, I have to talk to Kelly about it first. But, you didn't answer my question. Would you go with us, Sarah?

Sarah. Uh, I don't know, I'd have to think about it. And I need to talk to Riley first. (Sarah's phone starts ringing insistently). If you don't mind, I should answer my phone.

Dale: Sure, go ahead.


Dale went back to his book to continue studying while Sarah answered her call.

Sarah: Yes? Riley?? Where are you calling from?

Riley: The bathroom.

Sarah: Kelly Randall's bathroom? (Dale gasps a little) You know, it's not okay to invade other other peoples' private areas. Especially if those people do not like you. And why are you calling me on the phone when we're both at home?

Riley: Because it's the only way you'll talk to me.


Sarah: Wrong. I still don't want to talk to you, not even on the phone.

Riley: What were you and Dale talking about?

Sarah: We weren't 'talking', we were mind melding.

Riley: That's bullshit and you know it.

Sarah: Well, we did and it worked, you know?

Riley: Yeah, of course it did, now stop lying and tell me, is it true that Dale and Kelly are moving out?

Sarah: It seems so, and all because of you.



Riley: (Sounds worried) Did he… Did he say anything to you about me?

Sarah: Why do you ask? Any guilty conscience?

Riley: Not really, but there's something I have to tell you…

Sarah: Save it, I know it all. And I don't want to talk to you, not today or for a long time. Now you'd better go to class, you've already wasted too much time and if you fail the trimester your father will be angry. Then you'll not only forget about this dorm but about the University in general. Now, goodbye, Riley.


Sarah hung up. Dale put his book aside and stood up.

Dale: So that was Riley?

Sarah: Yup.

Dale: What did she want?

Sarah: To talk. She called from your bathroom, can you believe that?

Dale: Yeah, that's something she'd do. I just hope she gets out of there before Kelly arrives… Anyway, what did she tell you?

Sarah: Not much, cause I didn't let her, I'm not in the mood to talk to her yet. And that's all I'm telling you. Like I said, this is none of your business.

Dale: Don't worry, I have my own business to attend to now. Just think about what I told you, okay?

Sarah: Okay.
