Chapter 87 Roommates
Amanda’s POV:
+20 Free Coins
The girl who had just ignored me acted like a switch had been flipped. She dropped the bedding, rushed forward with a bright smile, and said in a sugary voice, “You must be my roommate! I’m Marissa Yost from the Windspire Pack. Nice to meet you! I look forward to our time together.”
“Hi, I’m Jennifer Sadler, the Alpha heiress of the Silvermoon Pack,” the girl said, smiling politely at Marissa. Her gaze swept past her and landed on the empty bed next to me. “I’ll take this bed.”
Marissa’s smile froze. She clearly didn’t expect Jennifer to pick the bed next to me instead of the one closer to her.
Jennifer’s assistant stepped forward and neatly arranged the silver moon-patterned bedding.
Marissa leaned in, trying to make small talk. “Jennifer, you’re here for the contest too, right? I heard Silvermoon’s math mentor is amazing. Do you usually-”
Jennifer ignored it. Instead, she turned to me, her gaze landing on the Wolfkind Advanced Math Collection I had just pulled out. She looked surprised. “You brought this too? I heard this book was exclusively compiled by the Eclipse Pack mentors. It’s hard to get.”
I paused, looking up at her. Her gaze was clear and curious-without the prejudice I saw in Marissa’s.
Next to her, Marissa’s face darkened. She gripped her wolf-fur cushion, clearly not expecting me to have an “advanced” math book, too.
The tension in the room was like tiny needles in the air. Marissa fell silent and turned away, sulking while organizing her stuff. Jennifer sat on the bed next to me, lightly tapping my book. “You’re from Eclipse Pack?” she whispered.
Seeing the curiosity in her eyes and Marissa’s stiff back, I realized these two weeks might not be as “peaceful” as I’d hoped. The conflict within this dorm had already begun.
Marissa dug through her suitcase and pulled out a shiny golden-wrapped bag. She hurried over to Jennifer’s bed, her voice overly enthusiastic. “These are milk candies my dad brought back from a business trip to the pack in the western area. They’ve got wolf spirit honey in them. Try some!”
When she handed it over, I noticed the Windspire Pack noble shop logo on the bag, and I could faintly see some fur residue, from when she’d gripped her cushion earlier. Her over-the-top flattery toward Jennifer sharply contrasted with how she ignored me.
Jennifer smiled and shook her head, gently pushing the bag back. “Sorry, I’m trying to watch my weight, so no sweets. Thanks, though! My mom packed some fruifs for me, I’ll share with you guys.”
She took out two boxes. First, she gave one to Marissa, then came over to my bed and handed me the other. Her fingers brushed mine, and it felt cold like an ice pack. “Here, for you.”
I met her gaze. There was no opportunism in her eyes, only an earnest, friendly warmth, making it awkward for me to refuse.
