Chapter 15: Stay Tuned For More Updates
"...You do realize you’re standing in my dorm room, right?"
Riley blinked and looked around. Sure enough, there were two beds, clothes scattered everywhere, and a desk cluttered with random items. There was also a laptop left on the desk that clearly showed a website not intended for children under eighteen years old.
In fact, he was actually standing in front of one of the beds, and Katherine was sitting on the said bed, painting her nails with nothing but a large shirt on... right in front of him.
Katherine narrowed her eyes at him before looking at where he was staring at—and as soon as she saw that laptop open, her face immediately paled as he saw the black and yellow logo.
"Wha—!?" She quickly pointed a finger at the laptop, and in an instant, a violent blast of wind, fire, water, and dirt shot from her hand, utterly obliterating it.
A long, awkward silence followed.
"That... that wasn’t my laptop," Katherine muttered, her voice an octave higher than earlier. "That was my roommate’s. Wait...why am I even explaining to you!?"
She then cleared her throat and quickly turned back to Riley.
"And what the fuck are you doing here!? Who are you, and how did you even get inside!?"
"As I said, Ms. Katherine," Riley replied, blinking, "I was lost. I tried opening other doors, but they were locked. This was the only one that wasn’t."
"That... doesn’t mean you can just walk in—where even are your parents?" Katherine finally stood up, running a hand through her long brown hair. "You know what? Get out."
