The sun shone through in glittering rays as the clouds rolled across the sky, allowing spears of light to slice through the otherwise gray day below. Students walked about the campus grounds, excited exclamations ringing through the courtyard as old friends met up after the break, sharing stories of the adventures—no matter how mundane—they had had.
	Sitting on one of the benches in the manicured lawn of the courtyard surrounding the college’s dorms, Victoria sat on a bench, her nose stuck in a book as she waited, trying to avoid looking at the other students and faculty passing by. It had been a long morning spent moving in, and she had been the first of the three girls assigned to her dorm to arrive.
	One other of the girls had arrived soon after… a human, as far as she could tell, much to Victoria’s relief. But, there was still one other girl unaccounted for yet, and there were at least two supernaturals already on her floor…
	As hard as she tried, Victoria just couldn’t concentrate on the words in front of her. For the umpteenth time, she questioned her resolve to abide by her aunt’s request to attend a college. So many unpredictable people in such a small space.
	She pulled her phone out of her pocket to check the time. The screen lit up, declaring it twenty past two.
	[i]Please get here soon,[/i] she thought. Taking a deep breath, her brows furrowed as she tried to force herself to concentrate on the page before her.
