You sat down on the field and observed everyone putting a lot of effort into building their boats for the upcoming Poe Cup. You made the decision not to compete in the Edgar Allan Poe Cup, which is approaching fast. Cindy was eating cashews when she sat next to you. "You alright there?"

"It's just..." You huffed. "A lot has been happening. Wednesday stated she saw Rowan was murdered and then this morning... he was here."

"I guess the Addams girl has lost her mind." Cindy shrugged as she took more cashew nuts in her mouth. "Can't blame her, though. Nevermore drives you insane with all of these activities. I mean, seriously, Poe Cup? What does that have to do with our future?"

You chuckled. "I mean... Poe Cup was the reason how my father became a captain of a ship."

For a minute, Cindy pondered. "That is true."

"Even that I couldn't do because I'm not participating in this activity."

"You're overthinking again."

"It's kinda hard not to lately."

Cindy grasped your hand while sighing and dropping her bag of cashew nuts to the ground. "Again, there's still time to think about your future. Don't rush too much." She gasped when she thought of an idea. "You're sharp-eyed and good with archery, maybe you're future is something about that?"

"Shooting something?" You asked curiously. "I could be a hunter and then my father would disown me."

"Well, what does your father want from you?"

You tensely crossed your arms while wrinkling your brow in disdain when you thought about your father. "To sail across the sea like him is what he wants me to do. Because of his work, he hardly ever speaks to me. He might have also wanted me to study to be a doctor. What do I know about medications? I don't even know what mine is." You ranted.

Cindy rubbed your shoulders to keep you calm. "Okay, chill. He may stop placing so much pressure on you and begin to value you more if you've achieved enough success at the job you genuinely enjoy. No te preocupes, I'll help ya."

"Thank you, Cindy." Cindy swiftly followed after you as you smiled and got to your feet. "I should go. Xavier might kill me if I'm late for the club."

Cindy rolled her eyes. "Please, I think he'll do the opposite if you're late or not."

You knit your brows in confusion and interest at what Cindy was saying, but you shook your head and turned to go. You took a moment to scan your surroundings as you walked on. You were relieved to wake up to a sunny day. The day looks normal.

But it wasn't.

Since Wednesday arrived, everything has been difficult to ascertain, and you are unsure whether she is connected to any of the unclear aspects of your life. Perhaps it was just a coincidence, but even if it was, the timing was awful.

You started to get so absorbed in your thoughts that you missed seeing Xavier come around the corner and head straight for you. You two collided with each other, however, Xavier barely stumbled while you fell hard on the ground. He was so tall that you wanted to despise him.

"Jesus, (Y/n)!" Xavier exclaimed as he instantly assisted you in standing up. "You okay? I was just looking for you."

"Mhm." You replied while stroking your elbows as they had taken the full impact of the blow. "My elbows kinda hurt."
