Aza threw a second glance at her friends. Noticing the eagerness on their faces, she decided to say it again.
"I won't be joining you all for this Sunday outing."
Following her words was intense silence that engulfed the dorm room.
Serene and Livia robotically turned their faces towards each other. Meeting their gazes, "Did you hear what she said?"
Livia bobbed her head at Serene, showing that she heard Aza clearly.
"So can you believe her?"
"No." Livia's was immediate without a pause as if she didn't need to think even once and the answer to Serene's query was inserted inside her brain memory.
"Thought so. See, your joke is so lame that Livi didn't laugh at it. Aza, your sense of humour is good but refrain from joking around. Your collection of jokes is ages old. Either you update it or don't try to joke. It is my humble request."
Serene said, maintaining a formal smile on her face.
