"You've both certainly had a very interesting educational journey." Principal Weems stated as she took turns to look at the both of us.
We had just gotten here, I'd say a few minutes ago.
The school's rad but the students seem a bit more different of course.
"Eight schools in five years.."
"They haven't built one strong enough to hold me." Wednesday stated. She wasn't interested in staying in a school, matter of fact she'll probably run away soon enough. "I bet this place won't be any different."
I cleared my throat. "I beg to differ, I did not do anything." "I actually rather go to school then be at home." I muttered and I gave Principal Weems a gentle smile as she returned one. She didn't hear the last part, or so I think.
The chemistry with her and Mother is off. Very off. I don't believe they are good friends. Don't know, dont care.
"..What Wednesday was trying to say is that she greatly appreciates the opportunity." He heavily pronounced the word greatly.
"Yes..uh Larissa, what about Wednesday, um.. Therapy sessions?" She commented. "And of course Adalines."
"Another one?"
There wasn't anything wrong with me or Wednesday. Wednesday just..does what she feels is..right? I personally take matters into my own hands, heavy on the hand part. I can control myself sometimes but that's besides the point, the point is that I don't necessarily think we need therapy sessions. Besides, we'd escape anyway.
"Hmm..the school has a relationship with a therapist in Jericho." She responded as I watched her lean back into her chair and grab her mug.
"They can meet twice a week."
"Did you hear that my sunshine and little storm cloud?" "You're both in great hands."
I gave my father a smile. Wednesday gave him a stare.
"We'll see if she survives the first session.." Wednesday stated as she smirked at me. I returned the same.
.¸.•*(¸.•*' ♥︎ '*•.¸)'*•.
"It's so vivid.." Father stated as we walked in. Vivid indeed.
I mean..at least it looked nice.
A blonde girl approached us with a huge smile on her face.
"Howdy roommates!"
"Wednesday, Adaline.. This is Enid Sinclair." I gave Enid a smile, "uh, hello.."
"Are you feeling okay?" Enid asked Wednesday with a very concerned look on her face. "You look a little pale.."
"..Wednesday always looks half dead." He stated. "And the other half is full of sunshine..which is Adaline.."
Always the happy one am I right.
"Oh!" "Welcome to Ophelia Hall!" Enid opened her arms and went to go hug Wednesday but Wednesday wasn't interested in hugging her, I suppose not ever actually.
"Not a hugger, got it." She took a step back. She looked at me, questioning if she should try to hug me or not.
"I'm not fond of hugs but I'm good with handshakes." "Adaline." I told her as I stuck my hand out. Enid was very happy and shook my hand.
"Please excuse Wednesday, she's allergic to color." Mother promptly told her.
"Oh wow.." Enid looked concerned as if she was thankful she didn't hug her. "What happens to you?"
"I break out in hives and then the flesh peels off my bones." She flatly told her.
"Luckly we've ordered you two uniforms." Principal Weems interrupted as she chuckled. "Enid, please take them both to the registrar office to pick it up along with their schedule." "Oh, and give them a tour along the way."
Wednesday turned to look at my parents as both of their smiles disappeared.
"Lead the way?"
.¸.•*(¸.•*' ♥︎ '*•.¸)'*•.
"Nevermore was founded in 1791, to educate people like us." She began to tell us as we walked down the steps. "Monsters, Outcasts, Freaks.."
"You can save the sanitized sales pitch." "We don't plan on staying here for too long." She gave me a look.
'Why not?" Enid asked us.
"This was our parents' idea." "Oh look, there's my mother smirking at me." "They've been looking for any excuse to send us here." "It's all a part of their plan."
Enid looked interested, "What plan?"
"To turn me into a version of themselves."
Wouldn't know about me though.
"In that case, perhaps you can clear something up." We began walking once again. Many students were staring which bothered me. "Rumors have been swirling around that you killed someone at your old school and your parents pulled strings to get you off." She turned to look at me.
"It's been said that you beat a kid to death, reason..unknown." She shrugged.
"I didn't-"
"Actually it was two kids but who's counting?" Wednesday headed outside.
"And I didnt kill anyone." I followed after her.
Enid catched up to us and walked beside us. "Welcome to the quad!"
Clear skies yesterday but somehow the mood seems to be always down. There were many students here, interesting ones to say the least.
"It's a pentagon." Wednesday stated as I chuckled at her remark.
"Let me give you both a wiki on Nevermores social scene." She began to lead the way. "A what?" I muttered.
"I'm not interested." Wednesday commented. "I am." I spoke loudly as a girl turned to look at me. Enid gave me a certain smile and began to talk. "There are many flavors of outcast here, but the four main cliques are Fangs, Furs, Stoners and Scales."
Interesting.
Enid pointed at a couple of people sitting at a table. They all had glasses in which I found weird because there wasn't much of a sun out to see.
"Those are the fangs, AKA vampires." "Some of them have literally been here for decades.." She excitedly mentioned as we moved along.
"That bunch of knuckleheads are Furs, AKA werewolves." "Like me!" She proudly announced as all of them started howling. "Full moons get pretty loud around here." "I suggest you get some noise canceling headphones."
I need a pair. Especially during those car rides.
"I'm assuming scales are sirens?" Wednesday stopped to look at three particular people by the fountain.
"You catch on quick." "And that girl, Bianca Barcly, is the closest thing Nevermore has to royalty."
"..Although her crowns have been slipping lately." How fun. "She used to date our residents tortured artist, Xavier Thorpe." We all looked towards the boy who is currently painting. As if he heard us, he turned around.
The boy looked at me, a blank stare. Suddenly a pounding headache kicked in. I should've brought some advil. I looked away from him and gave my attention to Enid.
"But they broke up at the beginning of the semester."
That's why I don't date., anymore. You fall in love and then the love you have is no longer there. Usually.
"Reason unknown."
"Fascinating." Wednesday stated.
"I know right!" "I have a whole blog-"
"Yo, Enid!" A boy appeared in front of Enid, as Wednesday was behind Enid, in which I was behind her. "You're not going to believe the dirt I heard about your two new roommates." "One of the sisters eat human flesh, chowed down on a kid who she murdered." "The other one set someone on fire in the locker room." "You better watch your back."
Enid stepped to the side to reveal Wednesday. I then step beside Wednesday. "It was much worse." I blankly told him.
"I actually chop the bodies of my victims, then feed them to my pets."
Enid softly chuckled, "Ajax, this is my new roommate Wednesday." "And that's Adaline."
"Woah, you're in black and white." "Like a living instagram filter!" He headed towards a different direction.
"Ignore him." "He's cute but confusing." "..You should follow my account, get on top of all the important news, like twitter, snapchat, instagram, tiktok.."
"I find social media to be utterly distracting." Wednesday commented as she walked away.
"And I don't have a phone."
