Delilah had found out that there was a new girl coming to Nevermore. Enid had been talking about it all week and today was the day.
"I can't believe we're getting a new roommate!" The blonde squealed as Delilah sat by the round window painting. Delilah stopped looking up at the werewolf.
'I know I hope she's nice' Delilah signed. The brunette used sign language to communicate with Enid aswell as Xavier since the two had taken time to learn it when they first met the timid girl. With other people she had to write on a whiteboard because they didn't understand her when she signed to them. She went back to painting on her canvas when the door swung open revealing Mrs Weems and and a family who were all dressed in black and white. Enid jumped up quickly and wondered over, Delilah stayed where she was.
"Wednesday, this is Enid Sinclair and Delilah Reese your roommates" Mrs Weems spoke.
"Howdy roomie!" Enid beamed.
"Are you feeling okay? You look a little...pale" Enid then asked concerned.
"Wednesday always looks half dead" Gomez told the blonde who smiled warmly.
"Welcome to Ophelia Hall" Enid squealed stepping forward to hug the goth girl who immediately stepped back.
"Not u hugger. Got it" Enid mumbled a small smile still playing on her lips.
"Please excuse Wednesday. She's allergic to colour" Morticia added in.
"Oh,wow what happens to you?" Enid questions Wednesday curiously.
"I break out into hives and the flesh peels off my bones" the goth girl muttered in reply and Enid's eyes widened.
"Luckily we've special ordered you a uniform" Mrs Weems chuckled. She turned to Delilah who was still sat on the floor.
"Delilah how about you come say hello to Wednesday" Mrs Weems spoke knowing the girl was nervous.
'Okay,I guess so' Delilah signed back as she stood up wondering over slowly, Wednesday's dad looked at her confused. She looked up and gave Wednesday a small wave with a shaky hand.
"Please take Wednesday to the registra's office to pick up her uniform along with a copy of her schedule girls" Ms Weems continued and the two girls nodded. Delilah snapped her fingers so that Violet her assistance dog would come to her side. Violet was a black Labrador retriever,wearing a white bandana around her neck and she had a purple harness on. Delilah walked over to her bed grabbing Violets leash and clipping it to her harness. The three girls left the dorm.
"What's with the dog?" Wednesday muttered looking at Violet. Delilah panicked looking at Enid for help.
"Oh that's Violet, Delilah struggles with anxiety and depression plus she's mute meaning she doesn't talk so social situations are especially difficult for her and Violet helps with that. She's a trained assistance dog" Enid explained and Wednesday nodded.
'Come on! Let's get this done' Delilah signed before turning around and walking ahead. Enid chuckled at the brunette.
"She said-" the blonde started but Wednesday cut her off.
"I know what she said" she muttered rolling her eyes.
Delilah stopped and turned around to face the two girls.
'You know sign language?' The brunette signed shyly.
'Yeah,I learnt as a child' Wednesday signed back.
"Omg,now there's three students who can understand sign language here!" Enid beamed happy for her brunette friend. Delilah nodded a small smile on her face. 'Now come on!' She signed again before turning on her heel and walking slightly ahead. Her two roommates followed.
"Nevermore was founded in 1791 to educate people like us. Outcasts,Freaks,Monsters. Fill in your favourite marginalised group here" Enid started as they walked through the building.
"You can save your sanitized sales pitch. I don't plan on staying here for long" Wednesday replied monotone.
Enid frowned.
"Why not?" The blonde asked.
This was my parents' idea. Oh look, there's my mother smirking at me. They've been looking for any excuse to send me here. It's all apart of their nefarious yet completely obvious plan" Wednesday spoke as the three girls looked at the picture.
"What plan?" Enid asked excitedly.
"To turn me into a version of themselves" Wednesday added. Delilah watched there interaction quietly.
"Well in that case,perhaps you can clear something up. Rumours been swirling around that you killed a kid at your old school,and your parents pulled strings to get you off" Enid explained as Delilah nodded in agreement.
"Actually,it was two kids,but who's counting?" Wednesday muttered emotionless. The blonde and the brunettes eyes widened as they continued the tour walking out into the quad.
"Welcome to the quad" Enid spoke cheerily.
"It's a pentagon" Wednesday replied and Delilah smirked at the goth girls comment.
"The whole snarky Goth girl thing might have worked at normie school,but here things are different. Let me give you a wiki on Nevermore's social scene" Enid commented.
"I'm not interested in participating in tribal adolescent clichés" Wednesday hissed.
"Well then use it to fill your obviously bottomless pit of disdain" Enid chuckled.
'There are many flavour of outcasts here' Delilah signed to Wednesday.
"But the four main cliques are fangs,furs,stoners and scales" Enid finished for Delilah.
"Those are the fangs AKA vampires" Enid pointed at a group of people sitting at a table wearing sunglasses.
'Some of them have literally been here for decades' Delilah signed.
"That bunch of knuckleheads are Furs AKA werewolves. Like me!" Enid beamed as the werewolf's howled greeting the blonde.
"Full moons get pretty loud around here. That's when Furs wolf out. I suggest you pick up some noise- cancelling headphones" Enid continued.
"I'm assuming scales are sirens?" Wednesday muttered.
"You catch on quick" Enid smiled.
"And that girl, Bianca Barclay,is the closest thing Nevermore has to royalty. Although her crowns been slipping lately" Enid added.
'She's not very nice!' Delilah sighed pouting.
"As you can tell Delilah and Bianca don't get along" Enid murmured and Wednesday nodded.
"Bianca used to date out resident tortured artist, Xavier Thorpe. But they broke up at the beginning of the semester. Reason unknown" Enid gossiped.
'Ah Xavier I'm going to go see him' Delilah said as she walked over to him. They hugged each other.
"How are you bug?" Xavier asked the brunette.
'I'm good' she signed back smiling
"That your new roommate?" Xavier continued pointing at Wednesday.
'Yea,she seems...nice' Delilah signed.
'Can I have a piggy back!' She signed bouncing from foot to foot. Xavier chuckled and nodded letting the girl climb on his back. She snapped her fingers telling violet to follow them.
"Where to bug?" Xavier asked watching as the shy girl kicked her legs back and forth happily.
'My dorm please artist boy' she signed to him. Xavier nodded and made the short trip there. Delilah jumped down once they got there.
"Oo can I see the drawings you've been doing Li?" Xavier asked as he picked up her sketch book. Delilah nodded from her spot on her bed violet layed across her legs. They chilled in there for a while just drawing together. Delilah was glad she had Xavier,he was like the brother she never had.
