I don't exactly know what brought me here in the first place... I was with Wednesday and thing... In Xavier's room? Crazy I know but Wednesday said something about a 'purple book?' and to be quite honest I didn't exactly know what she meant. But all she knew is that I had my ways of getting into Xavier's room and the right time. Considering he should be out on a run right now I said that It would be the best time to get into his room and back out without being spotted. And now without Rowan, getting caught wasn't an issue...

Me and thing looked through the books while Wednesday searched his desk for any strange drawings. I knew Xavier had nothing to do with anything, but Wednesday wasn't an easy person in the woods. Especially since she was just explaining how she was with Tyler Galpin in the woods. The same woods that Rowan and her disappeared into last night. Hearing a knock on the door. Fuck we were going to get caught... And needed to hide. "What happened to 'this is the best time to come'" Wednesday whispered trying to find a hiding space, which we both ended up crammed under Xavier's bed. However Xavier came through the other door... And to no surprise. It was none other than Bianca at the door.

"You're not supposed to be up here." Xavier said pulling Bianca into the room.. "Good to see you too." She exclaimed, Xavier closing the door behind her "How'd you get past the housemaster? Use your siren powers?" He questioned her, clearly annoyed that his ex girlfriend was at the door. "Not while wearing this" She says, fiddling with the necklace that she was wearing as  Xavier placed his arms at the front of the bed, holding up his weight. Me and Wednesday exchanged glances as they kept talking...

"Since when did you give a damn about Rowan?" He questioned, annoyed with her statement. "You were the one who was afraid he'd do something to Wednesday. Isn't that why you've been following her around like an eager-eyed puppy?" The second Wednesdays name was mentioned from Bianca's lips, I looked around to her, but this time she was fully focused on the conversation that was going on. And I guessed that's because she hated Bianca. Bianca continued as Xavier walked over to the desk Wednesday had just looked at, closing the sketch pad that was lying open. "Seriously what do you see in her? You have a thing for tragic goth girls with funeral-parlor fashion sense?" Xavier then sat a top of the desk, "I don't have a thing for her, and maybe it's because she hasn't tried to manipulate me." e fights back, he doesn't have a thing for her was the only thing circling in my mind but I had to put it aside. "I make one mistake and you can't forgive me....

"And you wonder why I broke up with you?" Xavier says sarcastically towards Bianca who was now taking her hand in his. "You used to love my killer instinct. We were good together Xavier." She says standing in front of him, their hands still together. But he never put an effort to stop her from holding them... "Were we, Or is that just how you wanted me to feel?" She dropped his hand and started walking backwards towards the door she had just came through "Trust me, Wednesday Addams is not the girl of your dreams. She's the stuff of your nightmares." She says slowly walking backwards "I don't have a thing for Wednesday, I have feelings for someone else." He says before she opened the door to leave. "Oh yeah.. Emmalyn, right? You don't wanna know what I have planned for her and her 'good girl act'" She says before leaving. I KNEW IT. All this time Bianca had been toying with me. She never actually cared about me. Me and Wednesday took a glance at each other and nodded. She was gonna make sure Ophelia Hall beat Bianca's ass. And me.. Well I wasn't quite sure about what Bianca had in store for me just yet... But I guess I just needed to be in my so called 'good girl' act on for longer.

"I want to welcome you all to the Edgar Allen Poe Cup, This is one of Nevermore's Proudest annual traditions, Dating back 125 years. Each team must row across to Raven Island, Pull a flag from Crackstone's Crypt, and hustle back without being sinking or being sunk...." I looked down at the water to see everyone before It started. I saw Wednesday??? In a black cat costume... I'm guessing she's really that determined to get back at Bianca. And I couldn't wait for her reign to be crushed. Looking to the other side of Wednesday my eyes connected with Xavier's. I gave him a small wave, and he smiled through his clown makeup. Got to admit whoever did it, at least they made him look good. Still creepy. But... good creepy?

There were only two teams left... And surprisingly enough, I think it was time the black cats returned to their former glory. Although I wasn't with them anymore, I was still rooting for them. Always will. Suddenly the black cats boat started to move to the left. As if their boat was about to be sabotaged. However, I took my goggles and noticed thing jump into the water. All of a sudden they were back on course, and even better they were right where they needed to be. The boat nearing Bianca, It dug a whole right through the side. Causing them to lose there game. The Black Cats finally victorious. Would you believe it? As the boat came back to the shore, I started clapping furiously for Enid and Wednesday as they got off the boats, I ran up and gave Enid a hug. "YOU DID IT!" I screamed over the loud claps. I looked over to see Bianca getting out of the water, giving me a questionable look. I'm sure she was confused how I was happy for Ophelia Hall considering I was no longer apart of the black cats.

"You know you aren't with them anymore right?" Bianca said. I was lying on my bed, reading when she came in and disrupted my session. "I know." I said bluntly. Shit. I needed to keep on this 'act' or whatever she thought I was doing. Only my plan was to make it 10x worse. "Sorry." I said acting sympathetic. "You don't want to go around hanging with anyone from Ophelia Hall, especially if you want a social status at this school." I nodded my head assuring her that I'd keep my distance from them "You should hang out with me more. I'd be much better company than the wolf girl and her dead roommate." She said taking a seat beside me. "Yeah, yeah you're probably right Bianca." I replied smiling up to her. I didn't know what she had planned... But I wasn't going to give her what she wanted. And the only thing I think that she'd take from me is...

Xavier Thorpe...
