Whitney scanned the other group members, all of which were now talking or focused on something that wasn't him. That was the first time he tried one of his newest strategies, and it went off without a hitch. No one was talking to him and everyone got a negative first impression. Sometimes you got to create scenes to prevent further ones. He's glad that no one that sees him a lot was there or they would have called out how uncharacteristic it was to start such a scene.

"So everyone's who game- follow me!" Pen announced from the top of a stairwell, which was definitely off course of where everyone else was going, breaking Whitney's concentraition, "And if you're not game, you still might as well follow. You're gonna get in trouble anyway for splitting up from your group!" Whitney didn't hesitate. He knew of all the possible punishments for splitting off, but the teachers wanted them in this group for a reason, to not have to deal with them. Besides, anything was better than some dumb rock lab.
