Men outside her door

Someone was knocking on Zi Mei's door, telling her to open up and that he 'meant her no harm' and Darren is calling Zi Mei. Zi Mei decided to answer Darren's call.

"Darren?" she answered.

"Mei! I am glad I caught you. I am so gonna be late and I am hoping you can take down notes for me in class later?" Darren asked. He sounded perfectly normal. Just a regular college kid and her best friend of many years.

Why was she so afraid of him? Other than his super finger that can elongate like elastic man, Darren is still Darren. Maybe she is wrong to be afraid of him.

"Oh sure Darren, will do," she replied, keeping her tone normal. She considered telling Darren that there's a strange man knocking on her door but decided against it. She can handle this on her own surely.

"Great! Thanks Mei, see you later at break time," Darren said cheerfully before hanging up.
