He turned towards me instantly with a surprised face and nodded vigorously, "That's not the point."
We shared an awkward glance with nothing but silence and the weight of the notebooks pressing down on our arms, "..."
With a sigh, he continued hesitantly, "Ok, that is some of the reason behind it, but you know…"
