Tris looked expectantly towards Caitlyn, waiting for more. “Well... obviously that didn’t happen, so what’s the problem?”

“...My door closed, and auto-locked behind me. So I couldn’t wear anything since the machine was locked, and I’d thrown my keys into my room when I’d walked in...”

Tris looked suspiciously towards Caitlyn, making Caitlyn sweat nervously over her already strawberry-blushed cheeks.

“I don’t know, that sounds kind of fishy to me...” Tris began, looking towards Gwen and Hannah. She winked towards them, inclining them to follow along.

“Yeah... sounds a little sketchy to me.” Hannah said, nodding in agreement. Gwen raised an eyebrow towards Caitlyn. “Are you sure?” She asked, looking Caitlyn up and down.

Caitlyn looked away, and gulped. “...Yeah...” she mumbled, starting to have less confidence in her plan.

Gwen suddenly walked off, leaving Caitlyn confused. The other two girls looked off towards Gwen just as confused as Caitlyn was.
