I went to the university to submit an assignment that I had pending. I was one day late, but in the email I sent to the professor, she told me not to worry, noting that I always turned in my assignments on time. She mentioned understanding my emotional state due to what happened to Kyle (she knew him, as she was his teacher as well). I had very good teachers at my university, except for a few who thought they were superior.

I got into the car where my chauffeur was waiting and sent a message to Jake to ask him what time he wanted to meet. We hadn't spoken...
