NORMIE FESTIVITIES ...
After a long lecture from Miss Weems, Persephone and Wednesday parted ways. Finding herself in the library, Persephone sat in a secluded corner, a stack of books next to her.
"Hey stranger." She jumped at the sound of his voice, Xavier took the seat from across from her.
"Scare me like that again and I'll set your hair in fire." She groaned, the boy grabbed one of the books from the top of her stack.
"Romeo and Juliet? You've never read it." Her eyes looked up to him but he head still low.
"I have, multiple times. However it's one of my favorites." She snatched the book back, placing back on top of the stack.
"Heard you had a run in with some normies today." He leaned back, tucking his lip between his teeth.
"Where did you hear that?" She knew the answer but wanted to hear it herself.
"Enid." He nodded, the two sat in an awkward silence, until Xavier let out a loud sigh, leaning closer to her.
"So um...the towns annual festival is tomorrow..."she hummed, watching as he fiddled with his rings.
"Well attendance is like mandatory, and I was wondering...if like you know to make it les boring or whatever. If you wanted to like meet up or something." She finally lifted her head up, looking him dead in the eyes. A teasing smile playing on her lips.
"Are you asking me on a date?" His face went white as she began to shake his head frantically.
"No-no..."
"Yes you are! You're asking me out!" She started to laugh, Xavier smiled in response yet his face still white with shock.
"And a Festival as a first date? That seems really cliché even for you." He threw his hands up in the air in defeat.
"Fine then not as a date. Just two people having fun as friends." Persephone's grin only grew knowing that she was the reason he was so nervous.
"If I say yes, will you let me read in peace?" He nodded, grabbing his bag and shooting up, dropping multiple things in the process. He frantically picked them up awkwardly. Persephone laughed as he walked away, hands full of his discarded objects. Persephone was greeted with Wednesday and Enid when arriving back to her dorm.
"We're getting out of here, tomorrow. I have a plan." Wednesday mumbled, standing a few feet in front of the girl. Persephone gulped but nodded none the less. She felt a pit in her stomach at the thought of escaping.
...
Persephone stood with her two roommates as they watched Tyler who was speaking with his dad.
