shut. She could hear Darby talking as she left, and was pretty sure she heard her name right before Nalini burst out laughing.
Well, she wasn’t going to say anything yet . Whit wanted to give everyone a fair chance. In a couple of days, though …
“So, my roommate is Ellie. She’s super nice and just an all-around fun person. I got so lucky to get her as my roommate. Luckier than you for sure,” Rory mumbled. “So, you went to dinner?”
“Yeah, I looked for you , but I guess you’d already left.”
“Man , I hate that I missed you! It really stinks not knowing anyone and having to sit alone,” she frowned.
“I didn’t have to sit alone actually, some guys took pity on me,” Whit replied as Rory opened a door covered in signs. Whit started laughing when she saw one that stated a clean room is a sign of a wasted life. There were many other signs and stickers on the door, and Whit lifted her eyebrows when she spotted the sticker that asked if vampires were real or not. When Rory saw Whit eyeing her signs and stickers, she chuckled.
“ Which sticker made your eyes get that big?” Rory asked as she tried to figure out which one Whit was reacting to. Whit tapped her finger on the vampire sticker before glancing at Rory.
“Ahhh … now I understand. So what, do you know about vampires? Do you believe in them?” Rory asked with a mischievous grin.
Whit didn’t know how to respond to Rory’s question. She knew that vampires went to Maverick ,but so far she hadn’t met one. Or at least she didn’t know if she had. Since she didn’t know anything about them, she decided to be honest.
“I don’ t know anything about them. I’m pretty sure there are some around here, but I don’t know how they compare to the ones in books and movies.” She shrugged.
Rory laughed and grabbed Whit’s arm . “Well get ready to meet your first, then.”
The first thing Whit noticed about the room was the differences between the two sides. Rory’s side was cluttered and slightly messy, while the other side was neat and organized. Whit saw the back of a blond head sitting at a computer on the neat side, typing very fast. When the blond turned around, Whit remembered her from the day she’d visited Maverick. She was the friendly girl in the cafeteria. And according to Rory, this small blond girl was a vampire. Whit wanted to ask questions, but knew it’d be rude.
“So Whit, this is my roommate Ellie. Ellie, this is Whit, the new girl,” Rory said with a smile as she pointed between the two girls.
“Hey, I remember you,” Ellie said. “We met in the cafeteria when you were visiting, right?”
“Yeah, I recognized you too ,” Whit replied with a smile.
“So Ellie, you’ll never believe who Whit’s roommate is,” Rory said, continuing before Ellie could respond. “Nalini. I just came from there, and Darby was with her.” She grimaced.
Ellie waved her off. “Stop it, Rory. They’re really not that bad, Whit, but if you ever need to get away from them, just come over here and hang out with us.”
“Thanks . I haven’t really talked to Nalini very much, so …” Whit left the rest unsaid because she didn’t want to say something that she’d regret later.
Ellie grinned . “Well enough about that, how was your first evening at Maverick? Did you just hang out in your room?”
“I went to dinner and then came here. That’s it.”
“Oh, that’s right you were telling me about dinner. You said some guys sat with you,” Rory said with a questioning look. “You remember their names? Who were they? Have to make sure we approve!”
“They were really nice and kind of gave me a quick introduction to Maverick. They didn’t have time to cover everything, but I feel better now that I have at least some information,” Whit said with a little laugh.
“Their names?” Rory repeated impatiently.
After thinking for a moment Whit said, “Um … Sam, Nolan, Mark, and Christopher, I think. They were
