Take it, it's yours

The Fallout

     As they pulled into the driveway of the dark castle, Wednesday was immediately hit with the nostalgia of last years trauma. It felt good.

     Most of her problems left, once she set eyes on the castle. Yet, only one remained, what she was going to say once she sees Enid and if any of the others know about what had happened.

     Her wrist was stitched up now and she hid it with her sleeve. She hoped Enid had kept her mouth shut about the situation. It would make things a lot easier for Wednesday.

     She exited the car and made her way over to the entrance without saying a word to Lurch. As she wonders the hall to the principals office she got to witness parts of the castle that were made new from the fight last year that had destroyed various parts of the castle.

     There were many kids wondering the hallways as well, all though, turned their heads and stared at her once she passed them by. Maybe this year wouldn't be as entertaining as she hoped for it to be.

     She opened the door and entered the principal office as the back of the chair with [principal] on the back turned, revealing a man with black hair and a large scar covering his cheek and eye which almost immediately, intrigued Wednesday.

     "You must be Wednesday." He says as Wednesday pauses before nodding. his voice dark and mysterious. "You've made quiet a name for yourself last year." He says as a small smile forms on his face. His hands placed a certain way for his finger tips to be touching each other as Wednesday stays quiet.

     He inhales sharply before getting up and making his way around the table. "I'll show you to your dorm, many people have requested to room with you once you've listed for another year here, did you know that?"  He asks as he opens the door behind her.

    "No I" Wednesday pauses for a moment in thought before re making eye contact and continuing. "I didn't."

     He turns to smile at her while opening the door as they both walk out, one of his eyes, closed due to the large scar. "I know it's probably overwhelming for you, I didn't want to choose for you, so I left the space under your name, empty. You can choose what dorm it is you want, yourself." He says, his voice smooth, not one lie detected.

     Wednesday bows her head, glancing at the ground once more in thought as silence fills the air. She didn't know what to do, it's very unlikely there was a room she could get to herself. Though she didn't mind rooming with Enid again.

Oh well it wasn't like she knew anyone else other than Enid anyway.

     "Enid Sinclair." "Sorry?" "I'd like to room with her." "Got it." He says while writing something down on his paper. "She's also requested to room with you." He says, chuckling lightly as Wednesday bites her cheek.

     A certain feeling filled her stomach Once they made it to Ophelia Hall. They both stopped outside the door.

Wednesday looks up at him as he nods, signaling to continue on.

She turned to open the door now and anxiety flooded over her. Not once has she ever felt anxious opened a door before until now..

     Enid quickly turned to look at her, her face full of worry and anxiety before eventually turning back around and going back to her homework.

     She seemed to have changed somewhat, the old Enid would've come and tried to hug Wednesday while squealing like a dying pig.

Wednesday walks over to her desk before placing down a brief case, walking into the closet and unpacking her clothes.
