>Chapter 2 - Welcome to Miss Robichaux's Academy<

1410 Jackson Ave New Orleans, LA 70130, better known as Miss Robichaux's Academy for Exceptional Young Ladies and now known as my new home.

After weakly knocking on the door I am met with the presence of a stunning blonde. "You must be Y/n... Welcome to Miss Robichaux's Academy! I'm your Supreme and Headmistress, Cordelia Goode." The woman says with a grand smile on her beautiful face in which I return. "Come on in." She steps to the side and opens the door more for me to enter. Stepping inside, I can't help but admire the aesthetically pleasing interior. "Nice to meet you Miss Goode." I sheepishly replied. "Oh, sweetheart, just call me Cordelia." The woman corrects me and a hint of blush redens my cheeks at the nickname. "Come with me" She says, walking to the stairs that are in the middle of the room and I hurry behind her.

Sitting at a desk in what I believe is her office (but I have no idea.... There are so many doors I think I might get lost one day and somebody is going to find me curled up in the fetal position on the floor) she gets out a file from a file cabinet and sits it on the dest. "So, Y/n, tell me about yourself." She says, opening the folder. "I umm... I'm 17. I will be 18 in October." "Do you have any hobbies?" So is this just small talk? I'm fine with that. "Well back at home I had a garden that I spent most of my time in.... I like art and fashion." She hums in response "How did you find your way here?" She says, resting her head on her hands. "Me and my mom were fighting and I... I somehow set the trash can on fire."

Cordelia tells me more about the coven and gives me a schedule for the classes. She closes the file and puts it back in its place. "Everything checks out, come with me and I will show you to your room." She smiles.

"So this side of the room is yours and this side," Cordelia walks to the nicely decorated side of the room. "Is Sawyer's, you will meet her and all of the other girls when they get back. They went out for the day. You can decorate just how you like it."

"You probably want a tour of the place." She chuckles. "Yes please." I give a small laugh. "Come with me." She says, walking out of the room clapping happily.

After she shows me around, we walk into the main room, a bunch of old paintings hanging on the walls. The blonde tells me about all of them. Apparently they were the past Supremes! I listen with great intent while closely looking at all of the paintings, learning new things always intrigued me. I see Cordelia smile out of the corner of my eye.

Once she got to the painting of a fierce looking blonde, she seemed to have trouble talking about her. "This one here.... Fiona Goode. My mother, she was no Supreme. She was selfish. She used her powers to get whatever she wanted and didn't protect the coven. For god sake, she sacrificed one of my girls. I promised myself that I would never be like her." I could hear the pain in her voice. She turns to me. "Enough about that, you said you like to garden right?" I nod in response. "I know a place you might like." She smiles sweetly and takes my hand.

"I think I'm going to like it here." I say, walking around and gently touching the leaves of all the plants. "I'm glad. The greenhouse is my favorite place to get away from my duties." She says watching my every move. "The girls should be coming back at any moment. I'm going to start dinner. Fettuccine Alfredo, Scalloped Potatoes, and Stuffed Mushrooms... Do you like that?" "Oh yes that sounds so good." She chuckles and leaves to go back inside. I decide that I need to go back inside as well to unpack.

Entering the room that I share with the girl I have yet to meet, I look around and think to myself: this room is so bland. I know what can spice it up a little.... A vintage-grunge vibe? Maybe hang up some old vinyls, Posters, fairy lights, and some other decorations? That will bring it all together.

I start unpacking all the clothes that are in my suitcase and putting them in the new dresser until a girl enters. "Hi! You must be Y/n! I'm Sawyer, nice to meet you!" The very excited teen said. "Hi Sawyer." I smile."Cordelia said that we all needed to be down in a few, we are having a guest over!" She takes my hand and makes me walk out of the room with her.

Who is it?
