WILLA
When I returned to the room, Verah wasn't there. Her box sat open on the bed with a few clothes scattered across it.
I grabbed my phone, swiping through it quickly to see if she had left a message. Nothing. I walked to the bathroom, peeking inside with a mischievous little smile. Empty.
"Weird," I mumbled, stepping over to the window. I glanced outside.
I hadn't seen her leave the building either. She must have slipped out without me noticing.
I sighed and walked back to my bed, dropping onto it with a soft thud.
"Good thing, I guess," I murmured, laying back and staring up at the ceiling.
She would have forced me to tell her everything that happened. And I definitely wouldn't have been able to hide the fact that three insanely hot boys in this academy had kissed me today. Yeah, including her cousin — the one she loathed — and Elliott.
I'd better keep that part about Elliott from her. I couldn't stand another scolding right now.
