TIME SKIP ---------------------->

|Snow|

The weekend is over. Monday is back. I had to pull myself out of bed once again to have another crap week at school.

I ate breakfast and did my morning routine. It took quite a lot to wake up properly, and it wasn't until I had a shower that I felt awake. Unlike Rose who didn't really have showers in the morning. She had them at night instead.

The bus pulled up outside the house so I ran out the door and heard a muffled "goodbye!" from Mum. I climbed on the bus to realise Rose wasn't with me. She must be getting a lift with Jack again. I sat next to Briar as she yawned and looked out the window.

"Hey Snow, how's you?"

"Tired," I replied drowsily. That's what I get for doing my homework at 11:30 at night.

"Haha same here. Although I thought you were a morning person," she gave me a confused expression as the bus came to a halt.

"I thought you knew me better! I'd sleep in till eleven if I could..." I sighed. She giggled and we got off. We were actually early for once, so taking the opportunity quickly, we wandered around the exquisite gardens that surrounded the school before the bell rang.

"Haha Snow! I think I have the exact same dream!" I wasn't listening at this point because Bigby and Mary were having an angry conversation with each other by the trees. They were shouting for a few minutes and that's when I saw something really weird. For a second, Bigby's eyed turned yellow. Was I imagining things again?

"They're having a heated conversation aren't they?" Briar tilted her head as people walked past the two, giving confused expressions until Mary eventually shouted, "WHAT?"
Bigby put his hand on her arm to calm her down but she pushed it away. They started shouting again until the bell rang. Mary stormed off as Bigby shook his head. Cindy sprinted over to us hurriedly before the crowd dispersed.

"What the hell was that!?" She whisper-yelled as we walked to class.

"I have no idea, but it looks like one of them was gonna knock the other out!" Briar exclaimed with a worried look.

"Is it weird that I wonder who would win in a fight between those two?" Cindy asked as we reached English.

"I've wondered that too. But there's been rumours, that if she beats another kid up, she'll be expelled," Briar said, biting her lip. This was a bigger deal than I thought.

Art came by as quickly as it wanted to. I don't know why, but I was really curious about what had happened. But I had to do the smart thing, which was not to mention anything and just stay out of it.

We split into our groups and started working on our drawings, until Charming broke the silence.

"What an argument, eh Bigby?" Charming nudged him. Bigby completely ignored the annoying idiot and instead, he started drawing.

I made gestures to not ask about it. Bigby was definitely not someone you'd want to mess with, since he had picked a fight with Mary. I noticed his arms were covered in cuts that looked almost as if glass had gone through him. I gasped in shock as he gave me a blatant stare. I quickly darted my head back the drawing.

"What the hell was happening there?" Charming ignored me. I crossed my arms and narrowed my eyes at him.

"Nothing!" Bigby snapped.
