Alice let out an angered huff, discarding her folder of homework on her bed. Mr. Dolly always made physics homework longer than any of Alice's subjects. She much preferred the botanical class with ms. Thornhill. The homework was always growing or studying the chosen plant of that class and Alice preferred plants over anything. This homework though was a pain in her ass.

She fell backward on her bed, back hitting her favorite blanket. She let out a deep sigh before basically cocooning herself in the scratchy quilt. It's years old fraying yarn comforting the girl. Her great aunt Greta, who was a very prestigious hedge witch in her family tree, was also quite a good knitter, and every time she would come over she would teach a young Alice how to knit herself. Years later after she passed, Alice took the time to make a quilt in her remembrance, the square pattern was made up of all kinds of greens and browns and brought a much-welcome comfort whenever she got frustrated over something, that thing at the moment being Dolly's nightmare of a homework assignment.

God, she wanted to take a nap. She was snapped out of her inner fit as Wednesday entered their dorm, scowl on her face, she immediately went to grab her cello case that sat proudly in the corner of her space.

"Hey, Wednesday I heard you went to Therapy today with kimbott. How'd it go?" Alice asked, smiling sweetly at her. Wednesday, who didn't even sense the girls present felt her eyes widen in surprise before going back to her normal deadpan face. "it was a period I lived through."

Alice cringed before giving the girl a sympathetic look. "I know kimbot isn't the best counselor. She's too blunt and breaks a lot of personal boundaries. Unfortunately, she's the only counselor in Jericho."

Wednesday gave a curious look towards the brunette, eyes squinting in suspicion" And how do you know so much about dr kimbot? A client of hers?"

"an old client actually" Alice sheepishly smiled "I stopped going after two sessions, again she's not very good at her job..."

Wednesday blinked at the girl. "She truly isn't. I escaped her prison of confession and devised a plan to escape this vile establishment of hormones."

Alice frowned. "You don't plan on staying?" the girl didn't have a single clue why she was so heartbroken hearing those words. She didn't know Wednesday for long but the gothic girl had grown on her almost immediately and she couldn't help but feel disappointed at the thought of her leaving.

"Of course, I plan on escaping as I stated during the grueling tour of this place, this is all a ploy by my parents to become just like them. Which I refuse to become." Wednesday affirmed. "Did you want me to stay?" she quirked an eyebrow.

Alice felt a rather heavy blush spread across her pale cheeks. "N-no well yes. It's just... Your just such a refreshing new pace from other people yah know? You speak your mind and are just such a captivating person if you don't mind me saying so." it was Wednesday's turn to blush as she was struck with disbelief at the girl's words. Alice continued with a crestfallen sigh. "it's okay though it's not about me. if this school isn't for you then I promise ill help you escape in any way. You deserve to be happy like everyone else and if this schools not doing that for you then I don't want it for you either."
