Chapter Five

That night, Wednesday told Caroline about how she found Thing and made him pledge his loyalty to her. The younger girl was pretty excited to see Thing. He was amazing at doing her nails.

Anyway, that was the night before. Now it was the next day and Principal Weems was taking Wednesday to her therapy lesson in Jericho. Which means that Caroline had the whole day to herself. First off, she slept in since she hadn't gotten much sleep the night before. Second, she got to take her time when getting ready without Wednesday rushing her.

Getting out of bed, Caroline walks over to her drawers and grabs some baggy jeans, a blue striped cropped sweater with a white, thin tank top under it. Looking around, Caroline makes sure that no one was in the room and quickly changes. She pulls on some new, clean socks and grabs her Nike Air Forces. She grabs her phone off the charger, before sitting on her bed.

Checking her phone, she notices that she'd gotten quite a few new followers on her Instagram. Some of them being Xavier, Enid, Yoko(Enid's friend, she had mentioned her a lot to Caroline), Ajax, and a few other people. She smiles before following back some people that she already knew. Not even minutes later, she gets a DM from someone. Clicking on it, she sees that it was Xavier.

I'll meet you at your dorm.

We'll walk together

Okay :)

Exiting out of Instagram, Caroline turns her phone off and jumps up off of her bed. She rushes to her mirror and fixes her hair and makes sure she doesn't have anything on her face. After a moment or two, Caroline stops herself and furrows her eyebrows. "What the hell am I doing?"

Hearing a knock on her door, Caroline shakes her head slightly before putting her phone into back pocket and walking towards the door. Opening it, she sees a smiling Xavier. Instead of his Nevermore uniform or fencing gear, he had on a white t-shirt, jeans, and a zip up sweater. It would appear to not be much but Caroline thought he looked amazing.

Smiling up at the boy, Caroline walks out and closes her door. She turns around as he was standing there looking her over. After catching eyes with the brown eyed girl, Xavier clears his throat. "Uh, you wanna go now? We could go grab some food and go to a table somewhere or something."

Caroline nods. "Sounds like a plan." Xavier chuckles at the small grin she had on her face and gestures for her to walk ahead of him but she shakes her head. "Nope, you lead the way."

The boy shakes his head in amusement and turns around and starts to walk. Caroline lets him walk ahead for a few more minutes before running after him and jumping up onto his back. Xavier stumbles a bit before being quick to grab her thighs.

They walk— Xavier walks the rest of the way to the kitchens of Nevermore and he grabs a basket that Caroline assumes was full of food. Xavier walks to wherever the hell he was going and they end up on a hill overlooking the school.
