Larissa's Pov

After stepping out of the bathroom, I saw Morticia sitting on my bed with her legs crossed.

"This is odd. So, what are you doing?" I hung my towel up on a standing rack and finished drying the ends of my hair.

"I'm not doing anything."

"Since Bianca left, are you coming to get breakfast with me?"

"Yes." She lowered herself from the bed and threw a pair of sweatpants on with her nightgown.

I left my jacket on my bed post and grabbed my phone. I grabbed the spare key from the dresser and put it in my pocket as we left. The hallways were empty and quiet, until the boys began waking up too. They liked to wake up early and rush to finish homework assignments. I, on the other hand, did my work at lunch and in the hallways. Call me a nerd but you can't call me a failure.

The cafeteria was just as quiet as the hallways, only a few groups sat around the tables eating breakfast and scribbling on papers. None of those groups included Bianca, I shouldn't have felt relieved but I did. Morticia and I both grabbed trays and filled them with different foods. I got an omelette with cheese, coffee, mixed fruit salad, and a few pieces of sausage. Morticia grabbed an apple, two pieces of toast, and scrambled eggs with bacon. We sat at one of the circle tables and chatted about our school schedules. Before long, Morticia started talking about how Gomez was good company. I didn't say anything, but I was a little annoyed that he was who she decided to talk about.

"So what you like him or something? That was fast."

"I don't know yet. I never really hang around people except for my sister."

"You have a sister?"

"You saw her."

"Sorry, forgot."

The bell overhead rung once which was the signal to wake up. I didn't realize so much time had passed. We threw our things away and made our way back to the dorm. Since I was already dressed and we had about 45 minutes to get ready, I turned the tv on and lied in my bed. I felt my phone vibrate underneath me so I grabbed it and opened it. I don't remember keeping my messages open, but both Bianca and Xavier texted me. I ignored the messages and forced myself not to read them.

For some reason, I felt enticed to read the messages, but I knew that if I read them my day would get 10x worse. It was best not to know. As I scrolled Instagram, I nearly didn't realize that Morticia was completely dressed. There was still 15 minutes to kill, so I decided to just go on a walk. Morticia decided not to come with me, so I collected my things and walked out of the dormitory. I put my headphones in and played 'HOPE' by NF. The sun was shining and kids were sitting around campus. I wasn't as popular as Bianca, but I felt like I was being watched. I began walking towards the overhead walkway that connected two large parts of the school. While I was adjusting the volume, I suddenly looked up and saw one of the giant gargoyle statues falling from the edge. I let a small grin creep upon my face as it fell even faster.
