The first thing I wanted to to was throw up.
Morticia gasped at the sight, Gomez just stood there and Wednesday was also about to faint (not really).
"It's so....vivid.", good one sir.
Then I see the blond girl happily coming towards us. She looked cute with her blue and pink dyed hair ends and big toothy smile.
"Wednesday, Adreanna, this is Enid Sinclair.", principal Weems introduces her.
"Are you both okay? You look a little pale.", the girl asked concerned.
"The girls always look half-dead.", Gomez tries to explain.
I snickered a bit while looking at miss Wendys shocked face. She looks at me and started to glare daggers at me. Totally worth it.
"Welcome to Ophelia Hall.", she announced happily.
I watch as she goes to hug Wednesday but she just takes a step back. She then tries to do the same to me but I just go to shake her hand. Although a bit unsure she copies the gesture.
"Hi, I'm Adreanna. I make jokes when I'm uncomfortable, pleased to make your acquaintance.", I say.
Although I totally confused her just now, she didn't mind and her smile widened again, "Nice to meet you too."
"Please excuse the girls. They're allergic to color.", the madam apologized.
"What happens to you?", Enid asked.
"We break out into hives and then the flesh peels off our bones.", Wednesday said flatly.
The principal just chuckled, "Luckily, we've special ordered you both a uniform. Adreanna, your dorm room is just next to this one so you'll be able to assist miss Addams if needed."
I just noded not being in the mood to talk.
"Enid, please take the girls to the registrar's office to pick up the uniforms along with a copy of their schedules and give them a tour along the way.", well that was a sinister smile.

Enid happily skips after us, as we start going through the school halls.
"Nevermore was founded in 1791 to educate people like us. Outcasts, freaks, monsters, fill in your favourite marginalized group here.", Enid tells before turning to look at us.
"You can save the sanitizer sales pitch. We don't plan on staying here for long.", well like I said, maximum two months.
"Why not?", Enid asked confused.
"This was my parents idea.", and here we go again, "Oh look, there's mother smirking at me. They've been looking for any excuse to send me here. It's all a part of their nefarious yet completely obvious plan.", well at least that's what she thinks.
"Oh, what plan?", Enid questioned curiously.
"To turn me into a version of themselves.", again that's what she thinks. I ain't gonna tell her the truth, she's too stubborn for that and think that that's tOtAlLy ridiculous.
"Well in that case perhaps you can clear something up. Rumors' been swirling around that you killed a kid at your old school and your parents pulled strings to get you off.", Enid said seriously.
"One? I thought it was two... but who's counting.", I shrugged. Now she looked terrified. I didn't do much, I just gave the young miss the piranhas and then pushed the bullies back into the water.

We got outside, seeing the students talking and enjoying their day.
"Welcome to the quad.", Enid announced excitedly.
"It's a pentagon.", the young miss pointed out.
"The whole snarky goth girl thing might have worked at normie school, but here things are different."
"Ha, snarky.", I wheezed.
"No.", well there goes my fun, thanks miss.
"Ok. Let me give you a wiki on Nevermore's social scene.", so Enid is the gossip girl ... perfect.
"I'm not interested in participating in tribal adolescent clichés.", of course you're not.
"Well, then use it to fill your obviously bottomless pit of disdain. There are many flavours of outcasts here, but the four main cliques are Fangs, Furs, Stoners and Scales."
She then proceeded to show us all four, then she stopped at the Scales.
"And that girl, Bianca Barclay, is the closest thing Nevermore has to royalty.", she explained.
"She's hot.", I said plainly.
Wednesday just stared at me.
"What.", it's not like I'm wrong.
"Although her crown's been slipping lately. She used to date our resident tortured artist, Xavier Thrope.", Enid continued.
"He's hot.", I said again.
"Really?", miss Wendy deadpanned.
"What it's true, for both of them."
"But they broke up at the beginning of the semester. Reason unknown."
"Fascinating.", totally young miss.
"I know, right.", she clearly didn't get the sarcasm.
"My vlog is, like, the number one source for Nevermore gossip.", bingo, just what I was looking for. Who doesn't like some good drama.
"Yo, Enid! You're not gonna believe the dirt I heard about your new roommate. She eats human flesh. Totally chowed down on that kid she murdered. And her maid or friend, I don't really know, is an assassin. Apparently she went back and finished him. You better watch your back.", a loud voice shouted behind her.
She then stepped back to reveal us to a boy with a hat on.
"Quite the contrary.  I actually fillet the bodies of my victims then feed them to my menagerie of pets.", miss Wendy explained to the poor boy, who looked terrified.
"Also the boy was already as good as dead, so the was no reason for me to go finish him.", I said my part while grinning under my mask.
"Ajax, this is my new roommate, Wednesday and her friend Adreanna.", Enid nervously introduced us.
"Whoa. You're in black and white. Like a living Instagram filter.", Ajax was really not the sharpest.
Enid pushed him away, then turned back to us, "Ignore him. Gorgons spend way too much time getting stoned. He's cute, but clueless."
"And your crush.", I noted.
"Y'know it's a small school. There wasn't much online about you. Oh, you should really get on Insta, Snapchat and TikTok.", she really likes the gossip.
"I find social media to be a soul-sucking void of meaningless affirmation.", of course you do. She then turned around and went away.
"I will give you my contact later, although I only have Snap and Insta.", I whispered to Enid.
