I leave him and walk to where I head to sound of the choir.

"We got scales on scales on scales On scales on scales on scales... on scales on scales on scales" The choir sings.

"Weems said you'd be stopping by." Bianco says to me. "But to be honest, after your performance at the Harvest Festival, drama club might be more your speed." He says in a joking manner.

"After I passed out, who did you tell? The sheriff?"

"You think I'd trust normie cops? I went straight to Weems and let her handle it. Anyway, let's get this audition over with."

"What are you? Bass, tenor or just loco?" He asks trying to dial me up.

The pianist plays a note for me to match pitch.

I inhale and let out an inaudible note.

"Huh?"

The pianist glasses crack.

"What was that?"

"A note only dogs can hear."

I walk away after Bianco dismisses my audition.

"Huh. You actually showed up. Ever shot a bow and arrow before?" Xaviera says while 'showing' me how to shoot.

"Only on live targets."

"Okay. Square stance. Load the arrow like this, yellow side out. Three fingers. Pull back and... let it fly. Any questions?"

"When's the last time you saw your friend Rowan?"

"You mean the one that was killed by a monster? The Harvest Festival. I haven't talked to him since.

"But Bianco said his side of the room was all packed this morning." She says looking a little sad. "Rowan's always been a little off, but, uh, the last couple weeks he's been more erratic. You know, telekinesis can mess with your head, you know. He's... It started to freak me out... he started to freak Bianco out."

"So what's the deal with you, Tyler, and (Y/n)? Seems like she's got both of you wrapped around her fingers," She says looking at me. "I'm sorry, were you the only one who got to ask non-archery questions?"

"There is no deal. She was helping me and being kind, and he was doing me a favor by driving me out of town."

"Yeah, word of advice. Steer clear. Of both of them." She says rolling her eyes.

"Why? Because he's a normie, and because your ex was more interested in her than you?"

"Tyler and his friends are jerks. And (Y/n) has a flirty personality. She leads boys on like Edward and Bianco then drops them. She's not good for you."

"Says the girl whose life was served on a silver platter," I say in defense of (Y/n).

"Hey, boys in glass houses..."

"Should throw bigger stones," I said interrupting her, I also throw an apple in the air, loaded the bow, and fire, hitting not only the apple but pinning it in place in the center. "At least I'm not an elitist snob."

"Ouch." She says while I walk away, annoyed that she would dare insult my sweet principessa.

I walk to the outskirts of the school, and to a small hut that has a sign for the beekeeping club.

"Are you interested in the ancient art of beekeeping?" An unknown voice says to me.

He chuckles, "Eugene. Eugene Ottinger. Founder and president of the Nevermore Hummers." He introduces.

"Wednesday. Wednesday Addams. Am I late or is it only you?"

"The hive life isn't for everyone, although we have one more member, she's just running late. She was helping with the Poe Cup canoe. Most kids are afraid of venomous insects. Are you willing to feel the sting?" He says excitedly.

Suddenly the door opens and in rushes the girl I cannot stop picturing in my dreams.

"Sorry, sorry Eugene. I know I'm late, but Yoko and Edward kept fussing over the color of the cat's eyes and I had to... Oh!" She stops rambling when she notices me, "Hello Wednesday! What are you doing here?" She says excitedly walking towards me.

"I am thinking of joining this established club for my extracurricular activities." There is no doubt in my mind that this is the club I will join.

She smiles at me when I say this. Her eyes light up like thousands of forest fires burning rapidly across the Earth's crust. Her smile is brighter than the sun, almost causing me to squint just so I am able to continue to look at her beauty.

" Well let's get started with the orientation so to speak," Eugene says stepping between (Y/n) and me, causing us to break eye contact. "Bees have been producing honey in the same way for 150 million years."

"They're nature's perfect community." (Y/n) says twirling around. This girl will be the death of me. What bliss.

"All working together to achieve a common goal," Eugene says cutting her off. "Fun fact, it's also one of the few ecosystems in which females dominate. From the queen bee to her workers. There's no patriarchy in the hive!" He says smiling at her.

She looks back at me and smiles. I tell them I have to go and let Weems know that I have made my decision. I tell them that I chose them, and they immediately jump and shout in excitement. (Y/n) smiles at me and walks up to hug me.

I can feel her heartbeat, it is racing like mine. Her (short/medium/long) (h/c) is near my face, I can smell honey, vanilla cake batter, and lavender. The scent is intoxicating. Her arms wrap around my neck feels like the safest place I've ever been. I wrap my arms around her waist and smile into her neck. This is perfect. I don't want to leave.

I realize what I'm doing, and what I'm thinking, and I leave without another word.

I cannot allow that to happen again. I cannot let her into my life like that.

I cannot want her.

I quickly walk away from her, and to the front of the school, I notice Rowan trying to leave.

"Rowan! We need to talk."

"Wednesday, I'm not allowed to speak to anyone."

"You had a lot to say when you tried to kill me. Told me I was destined to destroy the school, remember? Where did you get that drawing?"

"I just went into the woods to clear my head and to talk to (Y/n), I wanted to ask her on a date. Then you came after us."

"Wednesday," Mr. Thornhill says, "You shouldn't be here."

"Yeah, back off and leave me alone," Rowan says getting into the car.

I watch as the car pulls away, I do not to Thing who has hitched a ride on the bumper of the car to follow Rowan.

Hey y'all!

I hope y'all are enjoying it still!

I know it does not follow the script exactly, but I want to give my own twist to it. I'm still deciding on what it will be; however, I also want y'all opinion.

Do y'all want to A.) Keep Tyler as the villain? or B.)Change one of the other characters into the villain?

Another thing I want to ask, I'm debating on who I want to be in a relationship. Obviously, Edward and Alder (Enid and Ajax), and you and Wednesday will stay together, but I'm debating with the others.

Don't forget to like and comment on what y'all want to see!

I'll see y'all in the next one!
