Chapter 1

a/n: if you see (**) then it's an a/n !! also you're going to Nevermore when 2 months of the school year has already passed

Nevermore, that's the school. It all went by so fast, the visions, my mom and I's conversation, and whatever happened after that. I was already in my bed, trying to think about how I would fit in at this new school. I'm scared to say the least. What did my mom mean by 'Others like me'?

'11:30 pm' is what the time read. Before I know it, I put on some music and go to bed. I leave for the new school called Nevermore tomorrow. I was scared, excited, and nauseous. As I drift off the the sound of my fav music to sleep to, I begin to wonder, why tf am I leaving?

-

I wake up in a daze, 7:45. I start to wonder if yesterday was a dream or not. I go to the bathroom to brush my teeth and use the toilet before going downstairs. As I reach the bottom of the steps I see my mom, "hey honey!" she says smiling. "hi momma, morning." I say, still tired. "do you have your suitcase packed?" she asks ever so innocently.

Oh. It wasn't a really detailed lucid dream then ig. "oh yeah, definitely!" I say in hopes she'll believe me. "Ok good, well you better get ready then, we leave for Nevermore in an hour." she says, I just smile and grab some toast.

Once I have my toast I basically run up the stairs, freaking out cause I haven't packed anything at all. I get out my suitcase then yell down to my mom, "HEY MA?" I yell cause I didn't wanna walk back downstairs. "YES MY DEAR?" she yells back, "HOW LONG WILL I BE STAYING AT NEVERMORE?" I yell concerned about how long I will be staying there. "ABOUT 6 MONTHS" damn. ok. "OK THANK YOU!" I yell quickly and start shoving clothes in my suitcase rapidly.

Miss ma'am couldn't have told me about that when she first mentioned Nevermore?

Once I pushed as many clothes as I could into 2 suitcases, I started to actually get ready. Only some makeup, cause I ain't got much time, get dressed, brush my teeth again, brush my hair, and then pack makeup, my toothbrush, my brush, a comb, hair ties, blah blah. Oh shit, school supplies. I already had it all in my backpack so that was easy. And I was ready.

As my mom and I packed the car, I started to really worry, I mean I was before but now I'm really worrying. I had no idea where this school even was, and I'll be away from my mom for 6 months. And Addi. Oh god. I told her last night and she did not take it lightly.

~flashback~

"WHAT?!" I was facetiming with Addi and I just told her the news. "no no no you can't leave. For one, your powers are sick as hell. And two, you can't leave me with my bf, and especially not with Ms. Peterson?!" she says that last part, pure disgust  is all you could hear. I laugh lightly, apologizing. "Addi, i'm sorry. But this is my only chance." I say sadly. "It's ok, I understand. I just don't want you to leave me." she also says sadly. "It'll be fine, we can still call and text 'n all" I say, "Yea ig" she says back.

"Hey um, get a s/o there while you're at it, yea? You're too lonely." she says, half joking-half not. I laugh, "Only when u prove to me that you actually love your bf and aren't just saying it" I say, "He's such a hoe bro I swear he loves those goddamn video games more than me." She says. "Don't worry babe, I'll always be here for you if all else fails" I say smirking. "Babe I would leave him in a heartbeat for you" She says with a wink, we both laugh at that. "Goodnight babe" I say tiredly, "goodnight my love, we'll talk later, yea?"
she asked, "of course" I say back as we both end the call.

~present~

Back to present, I hear a car pull up. Addi's car, ofc, she would never let me leave without saying goodbye to her first. She's basically my gf but with a boyfriend. Anyways, Addi get's of the car and runs to me basically crushing me in a hug. "Hey bitch" is all she said "Hey Addi" I say back laughing. "I have a present for you" She says smiling. "Really?! What is it?!" I say, excited. "follow me" She says as I start to follow her back to her car.

She opens up a door and pulls out a going away basket that she made for me. I love her so much. "Oh my god bro this is amazing" There was a teddy bear, chocolate, a blanket, gift cards, a note, perfume, and lotion.

Oh yea um Addi is rich, if you couldn't tell. "Holy shit this must've cost a ton, girl I could kiss you rn" I say beaming with happiness. "I know, I mean you could if you want to" she says mischievously while smirking.

I pull head head close to mine and kiss her on the cheek, jus for shits 'n giggles. I then start to realize that I had to leave soon and the only source of communication I had with Addi was text or calls, unless she visits. As we calm down we hug again, not wanting to let go. We've been apart for a while at a time, but never as long as 6 months.

"I'm gonna miss you y/n" Addi says with tears pricking the edge of her eyes. "I'm gonna miss you too Addi" I say sadly with some tears running down my face, not quite sobbing.

I've been best friends with her for 9+ years. "Don't die while you're gone, and come back with a s/o, please. for me?" She says, "damn, I was planning on it if people were annoying" I say, trying to avoid that last part. She's obsessed with me having a s/o cause i'm, "so lonely" "Bye dear, Love you." I say starting to walk away. "Bye hoe, I love you, oh and don't make a new best friend to replace me with" she says laughing with tears, "I could never replace you" I say back as I get in the car.

My mom starts the car cause I can't have a car at Nevermore apparently. As my mom drives away, I wave to Addi and blow her a 'fake' kiss. We drove out of view from her and was off to Nevermore. Was this the best idea? I don't know. Was this the better choice? Again, I don't know. I hope so.

~ an hour later arriving at Nevermore~

An hour passes and we have finally arrived at Nevermore. Wow. Nevermore was stunning. I've never seen anything like it. It had an old build with a castle like structure. (*I wonder what that could remind me of🤨*)

I step out of the car, as I'm doing so, I'm greeted by the headmaster. "Hello! Welcome to Nevermore, School for outcasts. I'm Principal Weems." She say's smiling a polite smile. "Hi, I'm Y/n Rosewood" I say introducing myself. "Nice to meet you, I understand it might be confusing as you are joining us when the school year has already started, but I can assure you, you will fit in just fine." She says as she tries to calm me down, being able to tell my anxiety is high right now.

"This is Ms. Thornhill, your dorm mom. Your dorm room is in Ophelia Hall, you will meet your new roommate soon. They shall provide you a tour of the school, school rules, and history on the school. Any questions?" She says, I shake my head no. "Good, well, we will see you at Dinner."  She says in her British accent.

"Hi, I'm Ms. Thornhill, your dorm mom, you can follow me to your dorm, we'll have someone take your bags up for you." She says, I just nod and start to follow her. She takes me up to somewhere that I guess is Ophelia Hall, leading me to a dorm room. She opens to the door and there's someone already In there. My new roommate.

I walk in to see a tall-ish girl with black circle glasses, pale skin, straight long black hair, and sharp teeth. "You must be the new girl. Hey, I'm Yoko." She says with a smile. "I'm Y/n" I say back, also smiling. I can tell i'm gonna like her.

"So, what makes you come here when the year already started?" Yoko asks, "um, I just discovered that i'm a seer and this was my chance to come here for the year, so." I say back. "mmm" Yoko just hums. "and what year are you, exactly?" Yoko asks. "I'm in year 6, I just turned 17 after the year started so i'm still a junior." I say, "Well I need to give a tour so, we'll do that then go to dinner. We can talk there." Yoko says.

a/n: this was the chapter that was meant to introduce everyone but I got carried away so.. you'll meet everyone next chapter (i think) ALSO THIS IS A SLOW BURN and i don't mean in the, they kiss after 2 chapters, i mean slowww burn.
