Meredith had been avoiding Lesso for at least a week now. She would always bring her meals back to her room and refused to go to any staff meetings (she would have Yuba or Manley catch her up).

The sun began to fade as Meredith walked through the darkened halls. Her fingers ran across the walls, finding the small grooves and edges.

You killed them.

"Nope. I don't know what you mean. I'm not listening to you."

Murderer.

"La laa la la laaa. I can't hear youuu."

A sharp pain of white light shot through her vision.

"Ow! What the fuck was that?" She paused against the wall and held her head for a few seconds before deciding it was fine and continued on her merry way.

As soon as she made it to her room she sat down at her desk, violently scribbling notes about her Ball plan.

Drool dripped onto her paper as she slept soundly only to be awakened by a loud

THUMP.

"Ah! Don't kill me!" She raised her head and frantically looked around. Not a thing in sight.

THUMP.

"What is that?" Slowly she got up from her chair and cautiously she crept around the room.

THUMP.

She stood and listened for a second.

THUMP.

Nervously, she headed over to the door. Finger glowing, she slowly opened the door. Outside was a small brown puppy.

"Salut ma belle (hi cutie)! Who brought you here?" She picked the dog up in her arms and looked down the corridor. No one was there so she brought the puppy inside.

"What's your name?" She picked the dogs head up but there was no collar. "Guess I'll name you then. Hmm. How about Scout?" The dog wagged it's tail to the point it looked like it would fall off. It started to lick Meredith's face as she laughed.

"Scout it is then." She booped him on the nose and set him down, allowing him to explore his new home.

As Scout ran about, Meredith went back to her notes.

"I need Dot, Anadil, Hester, Audrey, and Hort please." The five looked up and at each other as they were supposed to be taking a test.

Warily, they all made there way up to Meredith.

"How would you guys like to help me out for the ball?"

Immediately everyone nodded their heads.

"Great. Dot. You'll be on snack duty. Feel free to make as much chocolate as you like." She gave a big smile and ran back to her seat. "Anadil and Hort. I need you two to be on decorating duty. As creepy as possible."

"Did Lady Lesso approve this?" Hort asked rather bluntly.

"Would that change your mind?" He looked embarrassed and shook his head before they both walked back to their seats.

"Hester. I need you to be music. You said you can play the guitar right?" Hester nodded her head with a huge smile. The first one Meredith had seen in a while. "Perfect." The girl followed behind Hort and sat down at her seat, huge smile still plastered on her face.

"Audrey." The girl looked at her nervous. "Would you like to help prepare everyone for the ball?"

"How do you mean?"

"Help the girls pick out outfits, do their makeup and hair, maybe even help the boys too."

Her eyes lit up. "Yes! Yes yes yes! I've always wanted to do something like that!" She ran back to her seat and started chatting with Dot. They both looked at Meredith and gave a huge smile.

They all aced their tests.

The next day, the whole party 'committee' sat down during lunch. This comprised of Hester, Dot, Hort, Anadil, Audrey, Meredith, and her new puppy, Scout.

"Thank you so much everyone for agreeing to help you. You all are going to save my life."

"No problem Ms. Moore!"

"It's cool."

"Im excited to help out."

For once in awhile, Meredith felt like everything was gonna turn out exactly like how she wanted.

"I know it's a Nevers ball...but could I invite my girlfriend, Snow?" Audrey looked nervous for the groups response.

The teacher has never been one to keep two hearts apart so of course she agreed, much to the dismay of her fellow classmates, especially Dot, who believed it should be just for Nevers.

"So I was thinking we could have it around 10, after all classes get out? Or do you think students will be too tired?"

"I think it's perfect." Hester chimes in and the rest nodded in agreement.

"It's settled then. A week from today we will be having out very first annual Never ball!"

*Lessos pov*

"Why the hell is she sitting with students?" Lesso watched Meredith carefully. "And where'd she get that dog?"

"They're talking about the ball." Manley spit out through bites of mush.

"I'm sorry. I must've heard you wrong. The ball?"

"Yeah...The Ever ball." He had lied. For a second, he had totally forgotten about his promise to keep it a secret. He was scared of Lesso but just as intimidated of Meredith.

"Why would they be talking about the Ever ball?"

"I- uh- they're gonna prank it! Yup. They told me they're planning to prank it."

Lesso sat there shocked. She had never pinned Meredith to be a pranker. Well, she better live up to her expectations or else she herself might just have to be pranked.

*Merediths pov*

"Alright everyone. Tell as many people as you can. Just swear them to not tell Lesso. All the other teachers are on board, surprisingly, but Lesso cannot know."

They all nodded their heads and started mingling with other students.

This might just be what she needs to win.

Another chapter? In one day?! It's crazy I know. But I have a really good idea for the next few chapters and I've got nothing to do for hours at the hotel so here we are. I'm aware these may feel a bit rushed but I'm honestly just so excited for the next few and I want to get them done asap. I really hope you guys are liking it!
