Chapter 12: Roommates

Evangeline

So, we have several large problems. One, I now have four hot and extremely hostile roommates, whom I also have to share classes with. Two, it's going to be one hell of a challenge concealing my true gender. I mean, it's not like I can walk around shirtless like them. And three, the dangerously intense attraction I feel toward all of them. God, they probably think I'm gay. I can almost image in what they would say. Evan, the faggot.

Shaking the thoughts from my mind, I set down the box I packed. Once again, my room is bare. Sparklingly. As punishment, Headmaster Terrathorne made the culprits who trashed the room clean it up. Karma is a bitch.

Roxy bounds up to me. I've not seen her in a while. "Hey." I allow myself a soft smile, reaching down to run my fingers through her silky smooth coat. Roxy purrs and rubs her head against my ankle. I wonder if she'll follow me to the new dorm? So far, I haven't seen Adam make contact with the naughty cat.

I grab a towel with the intent of taking shower. There is still half an hour to go before the new dorm is ready, so I might even have the chance to nap for a while. After all, I should treasure my last few moments of alone time.

I enter the bathroom, not realising that Roxy has followed me. It is only when I've stripped off my pants and removed the compress wrap from around my breasts do I notice the cat clawing at the door, meowing.

I raise my brows. As is sensing that I've seen her, the cat stops and turns to face me, then averts it's eyes. If I didn't know better, I'd think it was...shy? "You pervy cat," I murmur, amused, and open the door for her. The cat quickly escapes, scurrying out to the room.

After dragging myself up several flights of steps to the third floor, I finally locate the dorm. The new dorm space consists of a huge room with five single beds all side by side along another one of those glass-panel walls, with a door to the side leading to an en suite bathroom. The furnishing styles in this room are pretty similar to that of my previous one, only of finer quality. Ranking bias still exists, huh.

Fortunately, the room is completely empty, which means they haven't arrived yet. I dump my bags on a bed at the furthest corner of the room to mark my place. It's against the wall, so as to be far away from my roommates as possible. I'm drained, emotionally and physically. A nap probably won't help it long term, but whatever. I climb into bed, pulling the sheets up to my chin. Roxy jumps on and snuggles against my chest. This is the first time the cat has been this affectionate.

As far as I know, we have all been excused from lessons for today, mostly because the gym needs to be warded off due to my power suddenly manifesting. I can't imagine what kind of rumours are circulating the school about my ability. Hell, even I don't know what it is. Hopefully though, it'll discourage them from attempting anything. Especially those boys.
