"THAT GIRL IS WEIRD, AND NOT TO MENTION, VERY inpolite. You should stay away from her."

Enid exclaimed. Loomes and the best friend decided to sit down at the fountain in the quad while eating their breakfast. The witch has just told her about the conversation her and the goth had the day before, and Enid did not seem to like it.

"Enid ... I am sure that she can be nice sometimes."

The werewolf widened her eyes slightly at Lily's protests. She was probably not so interested in ever talking neither with nor about Wednesday after last night. But if Loomes knows Enid right, she will probably change her mind in the next 24 hours. At least a little.

"If you want to befriend Wednesday Addams then go ahead. She seems pretty interested in you anyway."

The preppy nodded at a small shadow standing behind one of the pillars next to the entrance. Lily smiled in confusion, noticing the long, black braids resting over the figure's shoulders.

"I mean, she has a lot to look at."

Enid attempted to smile for the first time in a quarter of an hour, and Lily smiled back as a thank you, as she has a hard time saying thank you. It's not that she's ungrateful when people compliment her, it's because she's not used to achieving compliments, and she can't really match her emotions with her vocabularity, so saying sorry is also pretty hard for her, even though she says it alot. Even she doesn't know how it goes together.

After eating their breakfast, the best friends got up to leave for their first class. Lily decided to hurry ahead, since she wanted a chat with Marilyn before the lesson started. Just as she was going to enter the school from the quad, she bumped into someone who stepped forward to stop her.

"Oh, god, I am so sorry!!"
Lily exclaimed, surprised and shocked. She looked down to see who she just practically felled, and met Wednesday's gaze.

"I was waiting for you."
The shorter girl began, earning a confused glance from the blonde.

"You have botany class too, right?"

Loomes nodded, still in shock by the sudden appearance the dark haired girl made. But the bigger shock came when she thought she could see a small smile spread across the raven's lips, but it disappeared as quickly as it appeared.

"Wonderful. Come with me."
Wednesday grabbed Lily's wrist, leading her across the school and into the greenhouse. She chuckled at the girl's fast movements. She was so petite that people that came in her way didn't stop her. She was incredibly flexible. Though the people who didn't stop the raven, stopped Lily. The amount of times they had to stop because of her bumping into a friend group or a weird loner was crazy, but they made it on time anyway.

Wednesday sat down at her usual chair in the classroom — at the very front, in the farthest corner, and motioned for the blonde to sit next to her. Of course, the blonde listened.

As soon as Lily sat down in the chair next to her, she began to speak.
"You and I are going to speak to Enid after this lesson. I've got to get to the woods."

"Is this about the murderer of Rowan?"
Lily curiously asked, looking at the black haired girl.

"Yes. It is. I assume Enid told you?"
Lily chuckled. What a question, Enid tells her EVERYTHING. There's not one single thing on Enid's mind that aren't on her's too.

"Yeah, she did."
"I also assume that you don't believe in me either."

Lily frowned. Why wouldn't she believe her? Well, Rowan did walk into Weems office the morning after the attack, but it's not like the school is full of outcasts, not even one ...

"Of course I believe you. You saw what you saw. It is required a sick mind to make something like that up. Don't worry about it."

Wednesday kept quiet, and turned to face Miss Thornhill who had walked up to the lectern to start the lesson. Students were pouring in, one of them being Enid. Lily swallowed nervously feeling the werewolf's anger from far away. with a thud she took the seat behind Lily's and Wednesday's, burying her gaze in their backs.

The raven leaned towards Loomes and whispered in her ear:
"And you are coming with me to persuade her to help me."
