Professor Thomas walked in then, so I turned my attention to her and planned to ignore Chase for the rest of the hour. Unfortunately, Thomas dismissed us thirty minutes early so we could get started on our group projects. “So, where do you want to do this?” Chase asked, catching up with me as we walked out of the classroom. “I don't care.” And I didn't. I was not looking forward to this project at all. “Hmm,” he said thoughtfully. “I think I know the perfect spot. C'mon.” I had no choice but to follow Chase across campus, but I was dragging my heels, kicking and screaming inside my head. I had never ventured around the university grounds any further than the buildings my classes were in and the dorms, so I was not familiar with this area. I could see the college soccer fields to the east, a large parking lot to the west, and right down the middle was the creek that ran along the south side of campus.
