Actual Conversations with Actual People*

Today I was traveling back home from class. With me was this girl I talk to occasionally, she takes one class with me. We struck up a conversation which eventually turned towards our respective areas of residence, and then at some point this happened:

She: So do you live with someone?

Me: Yes, I have two flatmates.

She: Oh, who are they?

Me: Well, you might not know them. They're from D. University (a different one from ours).

She: Oh, alright.

Pause.

She: So, are they from [our university]?


What part of that last sentence didn't she understand?
