The next morning we had fencing practice. Not really my cup of tea.
Once we got down into the locker room we changed and entered the fighting ring.
Wednesday had on a all black suit and I had on a green suit. There were students fighting everywhere we headed back to the teacher. When we walked in there were pairs of students fighting all down the room, we passed in the middle of two pairs that stopped just before we go to them. In the middle there was a pair that were fight with the teacher watching them. One of them fell back and bounced back up ripping off his helmet, looking mad.
"Coach, Coach she tripped me." The one that fell yelled, walking over to the teacher pointing and the other fighter. Who also took off her helmet, who is Bianca.
"It was a clean strike, Rowan. Maybe if you whined less and practiced more, you wouldn't suck. Seriously, Coach, when am I gonna get real competition?" Bianca sighed. "Anyone else want to challenge me?"
"I do." Wednesday said
"Oh you two must be the psychopath Addam sisters they let in." Bianca insulted.
"You must be the self appointed Queen Bee." I insulted back.
"Interesting thing about bees. Pull out their stingers, they drop dead." Wednesday added on.
Everyone one of the fencers Oohed, she looked mad at that.
"Rowan doesn't need you to come to his defense. He's not helpless, he's lazy." Bianca said
"Are we doing this or not?" Wednesday asked slipping on her helmet.
When the match began I was still standing where we had stopped. The students behind me turned out to be Xavier and a werewolf.
"Hello, Arabelle right?" He asked, He had his mask and stick under his right arm.
"Yes, Xavier right?" I asked offering a genuine smile.
"Yes I am." He confirmed. The match had stopped because Wednesday had gotten the point. Bianca is now complaining to the teacher about Wednesday cheating. Wednesday had offered a military style match, first one to draw blood wins.
While the match had started Xavier had turned back to me, " How are you liking the school so far?" He asked.
"Well... So far I've only had fencing, which so far is entertaining." I explained chuckling.
"Well, I hope we have at least one class together, I'd like to get to know you more. If that's okay." He explained. Suddenly he pulled me to the right just in time for me to miss one of the sticks from slicing me open. I ended up being pulled into his chest almost tripping. "Oh my god, sorry! Thank you. I didn't see them coming" I said placing my hand on my chest. "You're good." He said laughing. Still holding me by my forearm still. "Any way, about the getting to know you better part?" He asked again "Oh right yes, getting to know you better is a good idea." I said smiling at him. When I had turned back to the match, Wednesday ended up getting the cut.
"Your face finally go that splash of color it so desperately needed." Bianca laughed.
Wednesday ended up going to the nurse's office. She told me to head up to the dorm room. on the way up I was stopped by Ms Thornhill.
" Hello Arabelle." Ms Thornhill greeted.
" Hello Ms Thorn hill" I greeted I stopped and studied her. She seemed like a nervous person when I first met her always fidgeting and looking around. Today she seemed less nervous and more focused maybe determined.
" I was wondering if you would be okay with moving rooms to give Wednesday more space?" Ms Thornhill asked.
" Um... I'm might take you up on that offer I was going to ask Principle Weems." I told her, we had began walking up to the dorms. "Do you know which room I'll be moving into?" I questioned.
" I'm gonna have you move into a room on the same hall right next to your sister's. That way if anything were to happen you or Wednesday you can get in contact faster since Wednesday doesn't have a phone." Ms Thornhill explained.
When I got up to the dorm room I turned on La Llorona. Wednesday came in a few minutes after that.
"Ms Thornhill offered me a room next to you and Enid, she said I can start transferring over my stuff tomarrow." I said while sitting in the corner chair reading.
"Okay, it turns out we did know Xavier before this wreched place. During his godmother's funeral, our grandmother was friend's with his godmother. We were ten and board so we decided to play hide and seek. Xavier decided to hide in her casket..." I bursted out laughing. "Shut up let me finish them you can start laughing. Anyway, he got stuck in there on the way to the cremation. I thought that his godmother had cheated death and was trying to claw her way out. I hit the big red button and saved Xavier from death." She finished settling down at her type writer and started typing letting me know she was done talking.
"That explains why he looks so familiar." I said.
I took about 30 minutes and we heard squeaking from over on the bed. Wednesday through the covers off the bed and out popped thing
"I knew it!" She said. Thing tried escaping over the bed rail. But Wednesday caught him and yanked him off.
"Hello Thing. Did you think highly trained olfactory sense wouldn't pick up on the faint whiff of neroli and bergant in your favorite hand lotion? I could do this all day." She said slamming him on the desk.
Thing began scrambling to get away from Wednesday.
"Surrender?" Wednesday asked holding him down. Thing began tapping frantically.
"Mother and Father sent you to spy on us?" I asked as I stood next to Wednesday. Thing shook his pointer finger.
"I'm not above breaking a few fingers." Wednesday threatened sitting in her desk chair.
"They thought I wouldn't find out proves how much they underestimate me." Wednesday spoke. "Oh, Thing, you poor, naive appendage." Wednesday said sighing. "Our parents aren't worried about me. Their evil puppeteers who want to pull my strings even from afar."
"The way we see it, you have two options." I said
"Option one..." Wednesday said grabbing thing and threatening him with putting him in the drawer. "I lock you in here for the rest of the semester and you go slowly insane trying to claw your way out, ruining your nails and your smooth, supple skin." She released him.
"Option two. You pledge your undying loyalty to us." I say
"Of course we have a plan. And it begins now."
