Her Darling | L.W.

Chapter 6

When we get back to Nevermore, it's already 2pm. She parks the car and I get out quicker than she does, rushing over to the other side and opening the door for her.

"Why, thank you, darling" She chuckles at me.

"Of course, m'lady" I widen my eyes a bit to myself. Even though I said it with pure sarcasm, it sounded very natural.

I notice her looking the other way, is she... blushing?

"Let's have today's detention a bit later today, shall we? Say, 7pm?" She suggests.

I'm a bit confused that she wanted to have the detention 3 hours later, but it's okay. I mean she's my principal after all. My principal who just spoiled me.

"That's fine. See you then! Oh, and thank you again."

"You're welcome, darling. And remember, fashion show!"

I chuckle and wave her goodbye. We part our ways, me heading to my dorm and her probably to her office.

As I walk inside my dorm, I see Enid, Wednesday and Yoko on the floor, chatting about something and painting each others nails. Well, Yoko and Enid are painting their nails.

"Hi, girls" I lay the bag on the floor.

"Y/N! Oohhh what'd ya buy?" Enid gets excited and sits up carefully, not wanting to smudge her freshly painted pastel pink and -purple colored nails.

"Just some clothes.." I say carefully. I don't want her knowing about who really bought these.

"Your purse wasn't with you." Wednesday points out. I feel myself blushing a bit.

"Do you- do you have a secret someone who might've spoiled you?!" Enid questions and starts giggling in excitement.

"No! N-no of course I don't! Yes, I forgot my purse, but I paid with my card that was fortunately in my phone case."

"Okay..." Yoko says raising her brow. They all look at me with suspicion in their faces. But soon, they start talking about something else, asking me to join them. So I do, join them, and Enid starts painting my nails. I ask for a dark red color and so she does that.

After about half an hour, she finishes with my nails and I leave them to dry, sitting up straight to not smudge them.

"So, since I'm still pretty new here, tell me about the people. The drama. Who likes who?" I ask them, genuinely interested.

"Hmmm. Xavier, you know of him?" Yoko begins and I nod her a yes.

"He used to date Bianca Barclay, now I think he has his eyes on Wednesday. Or at least he did not so long ago."

Wednesday rolls her eyes at this.

"Me and Ajax used to go out, but we decided that we would be better as friends." Enid tells me.

I nod and they tell me a bit more of the students, I'm trying to keep up with the storytelling as they're saying names I've never heard of.

"I know something that you might be interested in hearing about." Wednesday suddenly says. She's been silent for a long time, listening to us. So when she finally speaks, we all turn to look at her.

"Tell us!!" Enid squeals in excitement.

"Alright. But you must promise not to tell anyone. Ever. If you do, your safety is not guaranteed."

"We promise." We three say at the same time.

"Very well then. Several years back my mother had been dating someone of the staff members." She says it as it is the simplest and most boring thing in the world.
