News of Sophie's failed love spell swept across both schools, and by midmorning everyone waited with bated breath to get a glimpse of her scarlet F. But when Sophie skipped all her morning classes, it was clear she was too ashamed to show her face.
"You should have heard the things Tedros called her," Beatrix said to Evergirls at lunch.
Sitting in a heap of autumn leaves, Y/n tuned her out and looked over at Tedros and Everboys playing rugby, silver swans glimmering on blue knit sweaters. Tedros caught her looking over, and gave her a wave, and Y/n waved back, her raven, and new familiar mimicked her wave. She had spoken to Dovey about Orion, and Dovey thought it was a good idea for her to keep the Raven as a familiar, something a lot of sorcerers had.
"Do you think that will be a problem for the mission?" Agatha asked, sitting beside her.
"Hm?"
"That Tedros clearly has a crush on you."
"You think so?" Y/n asked, blushing slightly. "I think we're just good friends."
"I can tell when people like you." Agatha said and avoided the others' eyes. "Because they act like me..." She mumbled the last part.
"What did you sa–"
"Now, Teddykins, it's not her fault," Beatrix blathered loudly. "The poor girl thinks she's one of us. We should feel sorry for someone so pathe–"
Her eyes bulged. Y/n saw why.
Sophie sashayed into the clearing, dumpy black sack refashioned into a strapless bodice dress, F shimmering over her chest with devil-red sequins. She'd cut her blond hair even shorter and slicked it down in a shiny bob. Her face was painted geisha white, her eyelids pink, her lips vermilion, and her glass shoes had not only been repaired with gold, but heeled even taller, which together with the extremely short dress, showed off long, creamy legs. From the shadows she swanned into the sun, and light exploded off her glitter-dusted skin, bathing her in heavenly glow. Sophie strutted past Hester, who dropped her books, past Everboys, who dropped their ball, and gilded right up to Hort.
"Let's do lunch," she said, sweeping him away like a hostage. Across the field, Tedros' sword fell out of its sheath. And if Y/n was slightly blushing when Agatha said Tedros liked her, Y/n was definitely blushing now.

During Surviving Fairy Tales, Sophie ignored Yuba's lecture on "Leaving Useful Trails! " and spent the entire class cozying up to Hort and filling her Never pail with roots and herbs from the Blue Forest.
"What are you doing!" hissed Agatha.
"Can you believe it, Aggie darling? They have beetroot, willow bark, lemonwood and everything else I need to make my old potions and creams! Soon I'll be back to my real self!"
"Sophie, you're drop dead gorgeous," Y/n said. "But this wasn't the 'real Sophie' I had in mind."
"Excuse me? I'm just following the rule you two gave me. Flaunt my assets, which are many as you can see, Speak through actions-- have I said a word to Tedros? No. Haven't. And lest we forget, parade competing suitors. Do you know what it takes to survive lunch with Hort? To nuzzle that rodent every time I see Tedros looking? Eucalyptus, Y/n. I numb my nose with eucalyptus. But in the end, you two were right."
"Listen, you misun-- We were?"
"You reminded me what's important." Sophie nodded to Tedros and Everboys ogling her across the thicket. "It doesn't matter if you're a Never, Ever, or whatever. In the end, the fairest of them all wins." She glossed her lips and gave them a smack. "You'll see. He'll ask me to the Ball before the week's up and you'll get your precious kiss. So no more negativity, darlings, it gives me a headache. Now, where's that worthless Hort? I told him to stay by me at all times!" She swept away, leaving Agatha and Y/n speechless.

In the School for Evil, Nevers sulked through supper, knowing they had a full night of studying ahead. With spell casting set to begin, the teacher's tests were based less on talent now and more in tedious recall. For the next day alone, they had to memorize eighty murder schemes for Lady Lesso's first challenge, Giant commands for Henchmen, and the Flower Ground map for Sader's geography exam.
"How will he correct them?" Hester groused. "He can't even see!"
