There was a gap before the next prof enters so we took the chance and started choosing our topic for the debate. We gathered all 10 to choose a suitable one.
" What do you think of animal testing? It suits our field and it is a major topic." Alicia stated.
"No, I would hate the opposite group if they chose to be with animal testing," Penny said.
" Who told you that your own group would even be against it?" George joked.
" No, just choose something else for god's sake, I will cry a river if you chose that one," Penny argued.
" What about; gambling should be illegal." Shawn proposed. The word 'gambling' rang through my ear, which could not be a mere chance. I bet his dad already told him about how I got here. What a fuckin asshole!
" I agree, I agree," Molly said and it was obvious that she only agreed because it was Shawn's idea.
" I don't mind." George and Alicia replied and we ended up choosing that topic.
" Our group would be with," Shawn added.
" That's the spirit man, gambling is so much fun." Penny chuckled.
-"You don't mind, Lily. Right?" Shawn asked which grabbed everyone's attention, I was the new kid and only my previous classes knew my name so how did Shawn know it.
" Do you know each other?" Alicia questioned.
" No" " Yes," I said.
I stared his way and I could see him smirking. What is he planning to do?
" I met him at the front gate of the university and I asked him for directions." I clarified.
They left it at that and we got out of the class, I noticed Molly coming my way.
" Switch with me, I want to be with Shawn." She ordered as if I was at her service, which irritated me.
" I don't want to be against so ask Shawn to switch to your group instead," I replied.
" I said I want to switch with you, can't you hear?" she retorted.
" And I am quite sure I responded to your rude request by a 'No'."
" Who is your father?" She asked.
" What does your family do?" she added keen to know my status so she would understand who she is dealing with.
