Chapter 88 Dorm Drama

Amanda’s POV:

When Jennifer put the white strawberries on my desk, she gave me a small smile. “Here, for you.”

“Thanks, but I don’t really like strawberries,” I said, moving the box to the side.

Jennifer just set the box on my desk, her tone firm. “These are different. Special from the pack in the western area-the sweetness is just right. Try one, you might like it.”

Her hair fell over her shoulder, the diamond hairpin catching the light. Her eyes looked really sincere.

“Ha-” Marissa’s laugh cut in. “White strawberries are so rare! One box costs half a month’s allowance. You’ve probably never even had them before, right? You don’t like them? Just be honest, we won’t laugh at you.”

I clenched my fingers around my workbook. I didn’t want to argue. Shallow people always assume someone’s dislike means they’ve never had it before.

Jennifer frowned. She glared at Marissa. “Don’t be so harsh. Liking something doesn’t depend on having tried it first.”

Then she turned back to me, her expression softening. “Don’t worry about her. These are just regular strawberries. If you don’t like them, I can have my family bring some blueberries tomorrow. They’re sweet and sour-you’ll love them.”

I smiled at her, feeling a little warm inside. In this camp, where everyone was judged by pack status and clothes, meeting someone so completely unbiased was a pleasant surprise.

Jennifer sat on the bed, fiddling with the silver moon pattern on the sheet, sounding a little helpless. “Honestly, I’m just okay at math. But my dad said, if I want to be an alpha of my pack, I need strong logic skills. So he made me come to this camp, even though I’m not sure I’ll pass the selection.”

“You’re way too humble, Jennifer,” Marissa said right away, leaning in with a super sweet tone. “Everyone here is strong. You made it into this camp, you’re definitely capable! Let’s help each other out and get better together!”

She was buttering her up, but her eyes kept sneaking glances at me, as if she were on guard.

Jennifer smiled, then suddenly turned to me and Marissa.

“Hey, have you guys heard of Amanda Lamb from Eclipse Pack? I heard she’s amazing at math. Even the top mentors call her a genius, and she won first place in the Anglish Speech Contest!

“My dad said she’s here at the camp too. I wish we could be in the same dorm. I might even pick up some of her problem-solving tricks.”

My hands froze. I hadn’t expected my name to be brought up so directly. My ears strangely felt hot. Before I could say anything, Marissa chimed in. “Of course, I’ve heard of her! My dad watched the speech

contest and wouldn’t stop telling me to learn from her. Honestly, someone at that genius level is probably aloof and won’t even talk to regular people like us. It’d just be a waste of time.”

She was basically trying to make me sound “unapproachable.”

I looked up at her calmly, but with a hint of challenge. “Are you close to her? Do you know her?”

Marissa’s smile froze. She opened her mouth, but no words came out after a while, her cheeks turning a little red. She probably didn’t expect me to call her bluff.

The dorm room went quiet for a few seconds. Jennifer quickly tried to smooth things over, shrugging. “It’s fine. Even just getting to meet someone that awesome is an honor.”

Marissa remained silent, just gave me a sharp glare.

I ignored her and went back to organizing my workbook. Then I heard Jennifer say, “Let’s head to the classroom together later.”

I froze for a moment. Was she inviting me? I quickly nodded. “Sure.

We packed up and walked out side by side, completely ignoring Marissa.

I could feel her gaze burning into my back, hot with anger, making me slightly uncomfortable. No doubt she was fuming, but had no way to vent it.

Once we stepped out of the dorm building, Jennifer spoke first, sounding a little apologetic. “Oh, I forgot to ask. What’s your name?”
