So of course I have to find a dorm for Isaac. I really don’t want to knock on every boy’s door to see if they’ve got an empty bed, so I start with some of my friends.
“Sam!” I yell into the door of room 312. “Tom! Will! Open the door!”
A mumble sounds from inside. “I’m coming.”
It’s Sam who opens the door. Samuel Red is a Gemini, born June 16. He has bright red hair, brilliant green eyes, and an abundance of freckles. He’s wearing a pair of jeans and a shirt with an avocado wearing a ninja mask on it. NINJAVACADO, it reads.
I glance at the ninja avocado. “Your shirt doesn’t even spell ‘avocado’ right,” I inform him.
He looks down at it and shrugs. ‘What’s new, Gillian?”
“I need help.”
“I said what’s new.”
I laugh sarcastically.
A blonde head pokes out from behind the door.
“Hey Anna,” Tom says.
Thomas Kenton is blonde and has blue eyes. He’s a Child of Scorpio, born October 30, and I may have a little bit of a crush on him.
Will follows behind Tom.
Will Flagges is big.
I mean, not like fat, but tall and buff. Will’s hair is brown and his eyes are this royal blue colour. He’s an Aries, born March 23.
“Hi Will. Hi Tom,” I say. “Do you guys know if any dorms have two people?”
“Why?” Will asks.
“Newbie just knocked on Mildred’s door. Pisces. Thirteen years old.”
They gape at me.
“Thirteen?” Will repeats.
“Anna, are you sure?” Tom questions.
“Please. When am I ever wrong?” I reply.
Sam blinks. “All the time,” he says.
I shrug. “He said he’s thirteen.”
“Wow,” Will mutters.
“I think 314 has only two people,” Tom points down the hallway.
“Who’s in that dorm?” I say.
“Uh… Patrick Smith and Alex Kassner,” Tom answers.
“Oh that’s right,” Sam nods. “Nathan left. Libra child off to study law.”
"Typical,” comments Will.
“Two doors that way?” I point down the hall.
“Yeah,” Tom affirms.
“’Kay. Thanks, guys.”
"Yeah, whatever," Sam sticks his tongue out at me and shuts the door.
