Arachville's Academy for the Paranormal

Chapter 6

"What?!" Goosebumps crawl up my arms. Someone was in our room, looking through our things.

Naomi snarls and carefully scans the room. "Smell it! Even a human could tell someone else was here!"

I sniff the air. She was right, our room reeks of perfume. Not one of my own and Naomi smells of the forest. It was very strong, and edgy. "Are they still here?"

"No? Their scent traces back to the door." How would they even get in? How do they disappear into thin air? Naomi interrupts my thoughts, "At least they didn't touch anything."

"Really? Then why did they come?" Why break into a room and take nothing?

Naomi shrugs, "I have no idea? We probably shouldn't look into it too much, it was only for split second."

"How do we not worry about it?! Someone broke into our room!"

"Maybe your boyfriend can help you forget." Naomi snickers at her own comment.

Instead of yelling at her again, I open the door and motion her out. Creatures start to file into the hallways. The boy's hallway is quite a walk from our dorm. "Four thirty five, four thirty six, four thirty seven, and four thirty right!" Naomi cheers as we reach Thomas' dorm. She then checks her watch, "Perfect timing too!"

I knock on the door once before it opens automatically. Or by a handsome boy. His face is chiseled like a statue's, with jet black hair, and his eyes....... Wow those bright green eyes. I'm so mesmerized by them, all I could say is, "Wow..."

He flashes a flawless smile, "You aren't so bad yourself."

My cheeks burn. Why would I say that?! Now he thinks I'm crazy.

Naomi comes to my rescue, "Hi, my name is Naomi, and this is Victoria."

I try to speak but I just can't. So instead I nod along with what Naomi says.

"I'm Vincent, are you both here for Thomas? What a ladies man!" He smirks and waits for an answer. Still unable to speak I nod again. "I thought so he talked a little about you,Victoria."

"He did?" My first words to the guy other than "wow", and I ask about what another guy said about me, great.

Vincent smiles again before turning back into the dorm. "Thomas! Your girlfriend is here!"

Why does everyone think we are dating?! Naomi giggles and I elbow her in the ribs.

Thomas yells back, "For the fifth time she's not my girlfriend!"

He turns back to us and looks at me. No, stares at me. Oh my god, a hot guy is staring at me! I faintly hear him say something under his breath, "Good..."

Vincent makes way for us in the doorway, "Come on in and wait for him."

Their dorm is smaller than our and doesn't have the extra single bed, but the concept is still the same. Already they are unpacked and have garbage and clothes everywhere.

"I'll see you ladies later." Vincent leaves, flashing us one last hypnotizing smile.

I snap out of my daze when Naomi nudges me. "Someone has a crush."

"Shut up!" Thomas lives with the guy, I don't want him to think I'm only his friend because he now has a hot roommate.

Then I take a look around the room. Where is he? We are all alone in their dorm. Naomi points towards the bathroom door. The light is on.

"Thomas?"

A loud thunk answers my question. "Are you ok in there?"

"Wha? Yeah! Yeah! I'm..." Multiple things fall loudly onto the floor. "...fine...."
