White Roses (Xavier Thorpe X OC)

Rave'n

Nora Andilet

"Wednesday why didn't you bring me with you?!" I asked as we walked to Xavier's private art studio. "Because you were on your little shopping spree." I rolled my eyes. "So you found the monsters the claw and it's cave?!" She nodded. "Yes. How manyEnd times do I have to repeat myself." I rolled my eyes. "And you believe that Xavier is the monster?" She nodded. We reached the art studio and Wednesday went in. "We won't take long." She said to thing. "You know this is framing right?" She looked at me. "I'm not gonna be nice to him because he's your little boyfriend" I looked at her. "He's not my boyfriend." She only looked away. I looked at the drawings. It's even hideous in the drawings. I heard the door open and I turned around. "The hell are you doing?" He looked at least and Wednesday. "How do you know what the monster looks like? Or all these just self-portraits?" I looked at Wednesday. "You think it's me? I saved your life." I sighed. "So did the monster. Or was that you the night Rowan was killed?"

I looked between the two. "you are so out of line right now." I looked at the photos. "Im trying to uncover the truth, and your art seems to have a recurring motif." Xavier sighed. "This creature has been huanting my dreams for weeks. I try to block it out but I can't. So I just... Come in here and paint it. When I was painting this one. The class reached out and took a swipe at me. It's how I got these scratches." I looked at him. "I thought you were able to control your ability?" He shook his head. "Not when it comes to this thing." I looked at the painting. "Maybe it's your guilty conscience." I looked at Wednesday. "Okay stop accusing him Wednesday. He told us the truth. Maybe the monster isn't a nevermore student. Maybe it's a person form Jericho. You saw when Goody and Agnes were almost burned to death and how they said it was him. That has to be sign!" She gave me a look. She pulled out the papers. "So you happen to draw pictures of it. Down to the location of its lair in the woods?" I looked at her. "I don't know if you were listening but he said that it's been huanting his dreams. She looked at me. "those are some pretty vivid dreams."

Xavier looked at me. "You were in here. The say that I caught you outside. That's the only reason you asked me to the Rave'N?" I shook my head. "I- no! I actually did want to go with you." He scoffed. "You are unbelievable." I looked away from his eyes. "Get out!" he pointed to the door. Wednesday walked forward. "Xavier please." He just shook his head. I sighed and left. "I'm gonna head to the weathervane." I walked off. A coffee would sound really good right now. As I got on a shuttle was I taken there. Once in Jericho I made my way to the Weathervane. When I walked In I had a small smile at Tyler. "Hey, the usual?" I nodded. He looked at me. "Something happen?" I nodded. "Yea." He was turned around. "Want to talk about it?" I shook my head. "Wouldn't want to burden you." He turned around giving me a look. "Well you know how the Rave'N is this weekend right?" He nodded "well, you know how I said I was going with Xavier?" He nodded. "Well uh I actually asked him as a cover up. For uh going in his art studio." Tyler nodded as he handed me my coffee. I gave him money and continued.

"He found out and now well, basically blew me off." I took a sip of the coffee. "I'm sorry. " I shrugged. "Not your fault. It's completely mine. I fucked up." Tyler nodded. "How about we go together?" I looked at Tyler. "I-i mean as friends." I looked at him. "You're on to something." He smiled. "I mean I know you wanted to go. And I know you want to go..." I could make Xavier jealous using Tyler. "Tyler you are like an angel. Yes! Let's go to the Rave'N together!" He smiled. "Wait.. I thought you asked Wednesday?" His smile faded. "She uh blew me off." I only nodded. "Yea she's like that." I handed him my phone. "Here give me your number." He smiled and took my phone putting his number in. "See you tomorrow night." I smiled. "See you." I was about to leave but  came back grabbing my coffee. He just laughed at me.

I sat in the dorm as Enid had curled my hair. "We look hot." I smiled. "Yea we do." She looked back at my hair. I checked my phone. "No text?" I shook my head. She sprayed something on my hair and smiled at it. "Okay done!"  I looked at myself in the mirror. I smiled. "I look so hot. Well not as good looking at you." I laughed. Enid just rolled her eyes. "Shut up."  My phone rang from a text from Tyler. "Okay he's here!" Enid squealed. "Wait! Take an extra 5 minutes! I'll go down there and just like tell u in to wait!" I smiled at her and nodded. She sprayed my hair with hair spray and left. I went over to my jewelry box and out on the amethyst necklace. It went well with the dress I was wearing. Plus I just felt like wearing it. I topped my outfit off with some earing and looked at myself in the mirror.
