Kaylee: Let's meet at the school gate and wait for you there.
"Who texted you?" Connor asked as he finished making the bed and thoughtfully hung up the bed curtains. Noticing Flora replying to a message on her phone, he added, "Was it Kaylee?"
"Yeah, she and Dane want to grab dinner together."
"We're pretty much done here. Let's go eat and see if we need anything else," Henrik suggested.
They all left and headed to the school gate, where Kaylee and Dane were already waiting.
Kaylee and Dane greeted Raul, Henrik, and Connor with shy smiles.
"Let's head to the second cafeteria. There's a great skillet place there. And here's a tip: the chef at the second cafeteria is way better than the ones at the first and third. It's a bit far across the lake, but totally worth it," Henrik, a long-time student at the University of Maple Grove, informed them.
The group began their trek to the second cafeteria when Kaylee's phone rang.
"Hey, senior. My friends and I were just about to eat... Can it wait until after dinner? Does it have to be now? But..." Kaylee's expression turned helpless as the call ended abruptly.
"Flora, I can't join you for dinner; something came up," she explained.
"What could be so urgent for a freshman?" Dane frowned.
Kaylee tightened her grip on her phone. "A senior assistant from my major called. There are too many people at orientation, and she asked me to help."
In mid-August, her major had set up a group chat. Although she rarely spoke, the senior assistant reached out and explained a lot about the major, which Kaylee appreciated.
"Why do they need a freshman with so many people around?" Dane's frown deepened. "Kaylee, don't be as accommodating as you were in high school. The more you say yes, the more they'll take advantage of you. University relationships aren't that crucial."
