Xavier stayed still on the floor. What had he done wrong? Had he touched her too much? Did she have a vision of him? He stood up with tears falling from his eyes. Why was it so hard?
He checked the time on his phone,
7:14 am
Another parents weekend but no parents. His father was never really present in his life. Xavier was taken care by nannies and sometimes his neighbors. He didn't think this year would be any different than the others. He'd spend the "special" weekend with Ajax's family or Enid's.

Wednesday walked around with Haven for sometime. They came across Arzhel who was looking for them.
Cars began parking outside of the school twenty minutes before they were meant to reach. Xavier glanced at Wednesday from behind a pillar. She was seated in the furthest corner or the quad. He was standing opposite to her. Suddenly, Haven stood up and began shaking Wednesday aggressively.
"Oh my god! Wednesday they're here!"
"I refuse to get up."
"I know that if I'll leave you here, you'll run off. Let's go or I will throw away your moth collection."
She threatened the raven which surprisingly seemed to work. She stood up and quietly walked behind Haven. A smile stretched from her ear to ear, tearing her scar and exposing a row of razor-sharp fangs.
They stepped out near the fountain. The same area where Wednesday's parents had said their goodbyes on her first day. Two Porsches were parked outside. A woman stepped out of the car, dressed in neutral colors having the same scar as Haven stretched from ear to ear. She looked heavenly. Her gaze turned to the group of three teenagers. She speed walked to them and squealed and she held Wednesday's shoulders lightly.
"Wednesday, my sinister darling! You've grown to look absolutely ravishing! How have you been?"
"I've survived."
"And you, Haven, it feels like an eternity since I've seen you! Have you been keeping your fangs sharp?" She asked as she touched her face.
"Hello Wednesday! It's been such a long time since I've seen you! Two years right?" Arzhel's mother stepped in front of Wednesday.
Wednesday nodded.
Morticia gracefully stepped out of the Porsche. She flipped her long jet black hair to the opposite side of where it once rested. She took a glimpse of the school before her eyes traveled to Wednesday's. She walked towards the petite girl with eyes full of love.
"Hello, my raven. I've missed you more than words could express." She smiled at her daughter as she blew a kiss to her.
"Mother."
Morticia opened her arms, inviting her into herself. Wednesday fell into her, she got exactly what she needed.
Warmth.
Wednesday needed warmth. Which a very limited amount of people knew how to give her just that. Her mother lovingly wrapped her hands around her. The sleeves of her dress cocooned her small figure. Gomez watched silently from a distance as he didn't want to ruin their moment.
"Is there something that's troubling you?"
Wednesday nodded.
"Is it your visions?"
She nodded again and stepped away.
"Hello my storm cloud, how is this semester?"
"Father, this semester has been...interesting."
