Hell's Gift (Xavier Thorpe x Fem! OC)

Chapter 1

"Welcome to Nevermore!" Weems said as she stepped out of the car. "This will be your home for the rest of the semester!"

"Right," I said, as I stepped out, following after the woman.

She lead me inside the building, and we went through the twists and turns of the hallways of Nevermore. She led me to a hall, with multiple dormitories in it. And she soon introduced it, "This, is Ophelia Hall. You will be staying here in your dormitory shared with Enid Sinclair."

"Ophelia's the one who kills herself after being driven mad by her family, correct?"

Weems ignored my comment and kept on talking. We soon approached a door, and she opened it, and soon a brightly colored room came into view. I nearly vomited at the sight of it, it looked like it had came straight out of the set of My Little Pony.

"This is your dorm," Weems said, giving me a smile.

"Hey roomie!" A girl said, her blonde hair having streaks of bright color, as well as her side of the room. She leaned in for a hug, and I took a step back.

"Not a hugger, got it," she said, and her smile fell slightly.

"Well, I'll leave you two to get to know each other," Weems said, again smiling at me.

"So, why don't we take a tour?" She suggested, as Weems closed the door behind herself.

"Fine," I said dryly, and followed her out of the dorm.

We went through the twists and turns of Nevermore's hallways, my second time of the day.

"Welcome to the quad," she said enthusiastically.

"It's a pentagon," I observed.

"Let me give you a Wiki of Nevermore's social scene."

"There are many flavors of outcasts here, but the four main cliques are Fangs, Furs, Stoners and Scales. Those are the Fangs, AKA vampires. Some of them have literally been here for decades. That bunch of knuckleheads are Furs, AKA werewolves. Like me," She said, and the Furs began to howl. "Full moons get pretty loud around here. That's when Furs wolf out. I suggest you pick up noise-cancelling headphones."

"I'm assuming Scales are Sirens," I said, as I watched a few Scales by the fountain.

"You catch on quick!"

"And that girl, Bianca Barclay, is the closest thing Nevermore has to royalty. Although her crown's been slipping lately. She used to date our resident tortured artist, Xavier Thorpe. But they broke up at the beginning of the semester. Reason unknown."

"Fascinating," I said, sarcasm dripping from my voice.

"I know right?" Enid said, obviously not picking up on my sarcasm. "My blog is like, the number one source for Nevermore gossip!"

"Yo, Enid!" A boy said, he wore a beanie, and I assumed he was a Stoner.

"Hey, Ajax!" Enid said, and I picked up on the cues between them. They liked each other. And it was very obvious.

"Hey Enid," another boy said. He was about 6'2" and had long brown hair and bright blue eyes.

"Guys, this is my new roomie, Briar!" Enid said, and she moved out of the way so they could see me.

Ajax simply smiled at me, but the other one stuck out his hand. I glanced down at it before looking back up at him. "I don't do handshakes," I told him, turning my gaze back to the quad.

"Right," he said, putting his hand back by his side.

"I'm Xavier by the way," he said, as Ajax and Enid began their own conversation.
