At the end of Alex's classes, he went to the parking light where he found someone unexpectedly waiting for him at his car. It was, of course, none other than Emily, who had a bit of a nervous expression on her lips. When Alex saw this, he scoffed and rolled his eyes, before asking just what the girl wanted.
"Is something the matter, Emily?"
Emily shook her head quite frantically, in an obvious display of anxiety. As she denied that there was something that made her feel nervous.
"No… Nothing… I just… I just wanted to know if you had any plans tonight?"
Alex could immediately tell the girl was still afraid of everyone and everything after what she had been through, and thus Alex scoffed once more, as he unlocked his car, before explaining to the girl exactly what he had planned for the night.
"Same thing as every week night. I'm going to hit the gym, then head home. Why… Don't tell me you want to spend the night at my place again?"
