Chapter two: Not like my mother

"Nevermore was founded in 1791 to educate people like us." Enid told the girls who walked along her side. "Outcasts, freaks, monsters, fill in your favorite marginalized group here." Enid now walked backwards while talking to them in the bustling hall.

"You can save the sanitized sales pitch." Wednesday told her. "We don't plan on staying here for long." Her younger sister had no idea. Morwenna made eye contact with her younger sister and in a silent conversation told her she would be staying behind. That Wednesday would have to fend for herself for once. "Why not?" Asked Enid curiously.

Wednesday glared and turned her head. "This was my parents idea." Her eye caught a picture of the fencing team from their mother's time at the school. "Oh look, there's my mother smirking at me." She said unimpressed at the sight.

"They've been looking for any excuse to send us here. It's all a part of their nefarious, yet completely obvious plan." Morwenna rolled her eyes at her sister, annoyed she was outing their mother in such a way. Her dark eyes looked over the picture of Morticia with her fencing team, thinking about joining it and becoming captain.

"What plan?" Enid smiled big, more curious to know more. "Gossip queen of the school are you?" Morwenna spoke with her back turned as she still looked in the display case. "So, she speaks! You can say that." And through the glass Morwenna could see the giant smile on the girls face.

The older Addams sibling turned around to face them. "To turn me into a version of themselves." Wednesday told her like it was the most obvious thing. "Well in that case, perhaps you two can clear something up." Enid was great at changing the subject.

The three walked away from where they stood and began to walk down another hall. "Rumor's been swirling around that you two killed a kid at your old school and your parents pulled strings to get you off." Morwenna hummed in thought. 'Quit doing that you sound like mother.' Wednesday's thoughts could be heard in her sisters mind.

Morwenna quietly hummed again. "Actually, it was two kids." Said the older sister in an airy and thoughtful voice, like her mother. She could feel the annoyance from her sister penetrating her, but she enjoyed the feeling. "But who's counting?" Said Wednesday as they both walked ahead, leaving the hyper girl behind as she took in what they said.

They both walked into the registrars office to get their custom uniforms and schedules. Black and grey in color where their jackets and skirts. "These look a lot better than the regular ones." Morwenna thought out loud to Wednesday who just hummed in response.

Walking back out to Enid after changing she led them outside. "Welcome to the quad." She introduced with her arms open. The sisters looked around seeing all different kinds of people. "It's a pentagon." Wednesday said blandly.

"The whole snarky goth girl thing might have worked at normie school, but here things are different." Said the colorful roommate. Morwenna sent a tiny smile over to her sister who looked the most annoyed behind those blank eyes.

"Let me give you two a wiki on Nevermore's social scene." Enid then began to walk them around their quad pentagon. With her arms behind her back she walked in front of them. "I'm not interested in participating in tribal adolescent clichés." Said an uninterested Wednesday.

Morwenna looked around already pointing out the different cliques. Looking over a group with sunglasses she could tell they were vampires, and so on as her dark eyes watched people converse. "Well, then use it to fill your obviously bottomless pit of distain." Enid stepped back, walking along side Morwenna as she looked over to Wednesday.
