Yoko blabbed the next morning at breakfast. Thankfully, it was before Wanda showed up, but Enid immediately began hitting her a bunch. Honestly, it was a miracle she got Yoko to last as long as she did. Though it hadn't even been twenty-four hours. Yoko tried to say it was Enid's fault for not letting her tell Divina. Otherwise she would have only told Divina instead of exploding out with it to everyone. Only, Bianca and Ajax were not at all surprised by this news, though they tried to act like it. Too bad for them, they're not great actors.

"Wait, have long have you two known?" Divina asked them.

"Freshman year," Bianca answered.

"Sophomore year," Ajax followed.

"I can't believe you guys never said anything!"

"Well, I can believe Bianca never said anything," Yoko began, "but I'm surprised by Ajax."

"Hey, I can keep a secret!" He defended himself.

"Which is news to all of us," Kent said as he threw his arm over his shoulders.

Ajax crossed his arms and pouted. "You guys suck."

"Okay, but do we tell Wanda we know?" Divina asked.

Enid sighed. "I'll tell her. Don't say anything about it to her, and for the love of god," she turned to Yoko, "don't tell anyone else!"

"My lips are sealed." Yoko made a show of sealing her lips.

But Enid just glared. "For some reason, I highly doubt that."

"Hey guys, what we talkin' about?" Wanda sat down next to Enid with her breakfast.

But the group all shouted different things at once.

"Fencing!"

"Homework!"

"Movies!"

"Makeup!"

"Jericho!"

"Dinosaurs!"

Wanda's eye was widened at the loud and confused burst of shouting, not really catching any of it. "Well," she began slowly, "a girl knows when she's not wanted. So I'm gonna go." She stood up to leave.

"No, wait!" Enid exclaimed and grabbed her left arm. Only for her claws to extend by accident and lightly cut her arm.

"Ow!" Wanda exclaimed more in shock than pain.

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry!" Enid quickly pulled her hands back and looked at the cut up sleeve, light dots of blood dotting her skin. "I don't know why that happened!" She looked down at her hands in betrayal, claws still extended. She's never had a problem controlling them before.

"It's fine," Wanda assured. "But you guys are clearly talking about something you don't want me to hear, so I'm just gonna go bother Wednesday." She quickly turned and walked over to Wednesday's table where she sat alone.

"But..." she looked up, but Wanda was already walking away. Enid sighed and looked back down at her hands. First her hearing gets a bit better, and now she can't control her claws? What's happening to her?

When Wanda reached Wednesday's table, she sat across from her. This made Wednesday look up at her, face her usual expression of apathy. "Why are you here and not with your friends?"

"Technically I am with a friend." Wanda held her arm in front of her and looked down at it. The damage wasn't that bad thanks to the schools uniform.

Wednesday's eyes widened a little. "What happened to your arm?"
