Cordera finished answering the question and turned to her friend with a puzzled look, “What’s up?

Merry, still in a daze, watched as Cordelia stood up, packed her papers and pen into her backpack, and said, “Goodbye.”

Merry was confused.

Confused, Merry asked, “What just happened?”

The chat roared with laughter, urging her to check the tweet Cordelia had just posted.
