Still confused about what just happened, I turned to Alex and Jude, ready to demand answers, but Jude beat me to it with a question of his own.
"Who is he?" Jude asked, his curiosity evident.
"He is Christopher Laurence, a new student," I replied, offering the only information I had about Chris.
"Rex seems to know this Christopher, and he didn't look pleased," Alex observed.
Alex and Jude, who had been inseparable from Rex, appeared just as clueless about Chris as I was. My mind immediately jumped to Courtney. I turned to look at her, but the quizzical expression in her eyes told me she was equally knew nothing. It seemed useless to ask her for answers.
Courtney nevertheless caught my gaze and said, "I don't know him either, Sydney."
