Helanie:
Gavin had excused himself and left for a walk while we all made our way back into the guesthouse, now that the whole mess was over. We gave it twenty minutes, just in case, before returning.
"Guys, we're not supposed to clean anything. I just got a text from Professor Maximus. He doesn't want us to clean up; we're supposed to head straight to our rooms," I said, standing in the living room and wrinkling my nose at the disgusting smell of booze and drugs.
Penn was helping Lamar, who was in much better condition now.
"Everyone, just go back to your rooms," I announced. They all nodded in agreement. Penn took Lamar upstairs, while a small group of other students walked up to me.
"Thank you so much for saving us. We'll remember this and try not to mess things up because of that stupid girl again. We'll follow your lead," one of the girls said, and the others nodded behind her in appreciation.
