Enne found Laurie pleasant. That is, until Nia told her she had walked in on Peter kissing her. Now she doesn't trust her and the paranoia is getting worse.

"think about it," enne hypothesizes through a mouthful of boiled potatoes, "it always happens in movies. the other girl goes from sweet to evil in three seconds flat."

Edmund sits across from her, stabbing at his piece of chicken. "I'm surprised."

"at my great deduction skills?"

"at the fact you're assuming the worst of someone," ed corrects her.

a flash of guilt shoots through enne for a moment before she glances over at laurie, who's chatting easily with susan at the edge of the clearing.

"i didn't mean-"

"I like it."

enne whips her head around so fast her neck does that cracking thing. "huh?"

Edmund simply smirks. "I'm surprised, but I'm glad i'm not the only one who thinks that. we need to expose her."

Enne, who wasn't planning on exposing anyone, turns wary. "okay, but like, I'm not about to confront her."

"I'll do it," Edmund assures her.

"No."

"You just said she's sus!"

"Did you just say sus?"

"yeah why?"

"an imposter is among us," enne sings to herself, and edmund wrinkles his nose in confusion.

she sighs. "okay yeah. for nia's sake."

He raises his eyebrows in an I-told-you-so look. "Great, so I'll just-"

"you can't just tell her she's fake, Edmund."

"i'm literally good with words, enne."

"I know, i read the books."

"what books?"

Enne scratches her head, sighing. "uhhhthehistoryofnarnia anyways be tactical please."

Edmund looks over at laurie, who covers her mouth with her hand and giggles at something Susan has said. "like in chess."

"like in chess," enne affirms, and they share a smile.

the sky is poisoned scarlet by the time enne and Edmund sneak through the library.

"this better not be Caspian 2.0 or imma throw hands," enne whispers, elbowing Edmund after he steps on her toes. she feels like harry potter entering the forbidden section, except they don't have an invisible cloak and Edmund doesn't understand the concept of crouching.

enne smacks him when he tries to stand up straight and peek above the cart of books they're hidden behind. "why are you so tall?"

"we're the same height."

"clearly not."

They have no light of their own, which is horrible  because it's dark and creepy. Enne swears to herself if she sees something on the ceiling, she's out.
