'Why Edward didn't join Oliver and Zip in putting a clearly fake exit sign in Alice's room'
Edward's headache worsened with every step as the excitement of showing off his latest invention wore off. He wanted to join Oliver and Zip in their latest harebrained scheme—placing a clearly fake exit sign on Alice's door—but the throbbing in his skull from the pool incident was a painful reminder of why that wasn't a good idea. Zip had accidentally run him over with a boat while wearing a pirate hat and brandishing a hook, and despite how much she'd laughed about it, Edward wasn't exactly bouncing back.
"My brain's filed for retirement," he muttered as he waved off Oliver and Zip's calls to join the prank, instead mumbling an excuse about needing to see Miss Grace, the school's strict principal and unofficial gatekeeper, to the nurse's office.
As Edward trudged down the hallway, he couldn't help but smirk at Oliver's ridiculous prank idea: putting an exit sign on Alice's door—or, as he privately called it, "the door of certain doom." He almost chuckled at the absurdity of it. Only someone really desperate or exceptionally stupid would fall for it. After all, Alice had a reputation. If someone was foolish enough to try and open her door, the exit sign would be the least of their worries.
"Oliver's practically asking for a death sentence," Edward thought. And yet, somehow, Oliver was immune to Alice's wrath. He could waltz in and out of her room like he owned the place. Maybe it was because of his strange obsession with soap and tea, or maybe it was something more cosmic—after all, Alice seemed eldritch enough to warrant that kind of thinking. But for him and Zip? No such luck. Alice would likely flay them alive just for breathing near her door.
Zip, on the other hand, thought it was the funniest idea ever. Of course she would. She hadn't been the one glaring into the abyss that was Alice's fury after the pool fiasco. Somehow, Zip always seemed to get away with her antics without a scratch. Edward wasn't so lucky.
With a sigh, he forced his focus back to his pounding head as he neared the principal's office. The last thing he needed was another lecture from Miss Grace on "appropriate behavior." He gingerly opened the door, fully prepared to face whatever awaited him.
"Chip's Bonding Time with Big Pirate Sister Zip Adventure"
Chip, the younger brother of one of the school's notorious trio of bullies, found himself embarking on an unexpected adventure one sunny afternoon. While exploring Zip's room—a chaotic pirate-themed lair with flags, maps, and ropes hanging from every corner—he stumbled upon a dusty old pirate chest tucked away in the shadows. With wide-eyed curiosity, he crouched down, lifting the creaky lid with both hands. Inside, a treasure trove of shiny trinkets, colorful scarves, and makeshift pirate gear sparkled before him.
"Wow!" Chip gasped, his imagination immediately swept away into the world of swashbucklers and high-seas adventure. He wasted no time rummaging through the chest, plopping a slightly too-big pirate hat on his head and brandishing a plastic sword as he declared himself Captain Chip, ruler of the seas.
As he enthusiastically dug through the chest, he couldn't shake the feeling of being watched. A mischievous giggle echoed behind him, making him freeze in place. Spinning around, Chip came face-to-face with his big sister, Zip, leaning against the doorframe with her arms crossed and a smug grin on her face.
"What do ye think ye be doin' in me treasure trove, scallywag?" Zip teased, her pirate accent exaggerated as she fixed him with a playful glare.
Caught in the act, Chip grinned sheepishly, his face turning pink. "I was just exploring, big sis," he confessed, still clutching the plastic sword, his eyes twinkling with excitement.
