Brody, Becca, and I sat in the student J lounge with a bunch of signup sheets for the student committee. On the fliers we posted this morning it read that we were going to be in the student lounge after dinner and if anyone wanted to join the committee to come see us.

“Has anyone seen Rachel?” I asked.
I had hardly seen her at all today; she told me she would be here to help us, butte hadn’t shown up.
“Not since this morning’s class,” Brody said, shrugging.
“I saw her in the dining hall around lunchtime,” Becca said, frowning. “But we didn’t really talk. She looked busy with a couple of girls I hadn’t seen before.” Rachel didn’t make new friends easily; I found that strange, but nothing to worry too much about. At least I hoped not.

“Um... no,” I said, finally finding my / voice. “It’s only a couple of us. There are others.” Vampires are known to be incredibly good-looking as well; so her looks alone were intimidating. She folded her arms across her busty chest and tilted her head to the side as she took me in; I suddenly felt self-conscious, wanting to avert my ~~ eyes, but unable to do so.
‘Thad seen her around campus before, but I never actually approached her or spoken to her. Vampires around campus were known to hate anything that had to do with other students and school events, so | we never bothered them.
