She reached out to grab my arm. I stepped back, dodging her touch, and let out a laugh. "Don't flatter yourself, Sylvie. I'm not here for you." Tyler cut in, voice sharp and mocking.

Something is definitely wrong here but we can't know anything until she tells it by herself. Maybe she is already missing her friends and college.
