He had stepped out earlier, so Nox and Cass had arrived here before him, where they ended up running into Linda.
The trio turned to him the moment they heard his voice.
Devon jogged over, slightly out of breath in a way that suggested he'd been power-walking the entire way.
"Man, I swear," he said, stopping in front of them, "do y'all teleport or what? I step out for a few seconds and next thing I know, you're gone."
"We just got here," Nox explained as Devon got close enough.
"Right right," He said as he looked up the elevated platform, "so what's going on now? Is the teachers here yet?"
"No," Linda was the one who answered, "they're not here yet."
"Aight," he let out a sigh, "then I ain't late."
