Wednesday and I walked out of Dr.kinbott office when guess who all out of all people were there

Tyler

"Guess you guys decided to stick around Jericho" he told us as we walked out

Is he following us, I thought in my head

"Wait , y'all see dr.kinbott too?" He asked us

Wait that means he also goes to her for what tho?

"You should know we are legally required to be here" Wednesday told him as we both started walking away which he quickly followed

"Uh, me too. Court ordered." He told us "what is up with him to be court to dr.kinbott" I thought in my head once again

"Look at us. A couple of teenage tearaways"I said

Tyler had chuckled

"Hey, when y'all ran off last night at the harvest festival, I wasn't sure what happened and then I heard..." Tyler started as Wednesday and I stopped to look at him

"Kinda crazy" he finished

"Everyone, including your father except for y/n believes I made it all up" Wednesday told him

"You know-" Tyler said as he was about to finish his phone started ringing

"Time to get in touch with my inner rebel."Tyler said as me and Wednesday as we looked at him weird

"You know, for the record, I believe you." He said as he walked away heading towards dr.kinbott office

Of course he does because he likes Wednesday I'm not stupid

"Hey I thought I told you no more talking to him" I told Wednesday as I stopped her

"I'm not" she replied

"Then why the hell is he following us you better have an explanation" I said

As she didn't say anything and we walked back to the car principal weems took us in •••••"If Bianca Barclay wins again this year, I will literally scratch my own eyes out!" Enid said to another girl which I never caught her name

Wednesday and I were behind her when Wednesday said "I would pay money to see that"

Enid came to us exciting "howdy, roomies!" She said

"I'm so glad you guys decided to stay." She told us

"I thought you wanted your single room back?" I asked her

"Full disclosure, I don't like living solo and thing gives a killer neck massage." She told us her and thing were getting pretty close which I didn't know about

"It's a win-win" she told us

"So.. why the change of heart?" She asked us there really wasn't we just couldn't do it

"I refuse to play the role of a pawn in someone else's corrupt game." Wednesday told her

"You mean Rowan?" She asked us

"I witnessed his murder, Enid" Wednesday told her as I looked around the courtyard and spotted other people doing different activities

"It's just, we all saw him this morning.very much like, not dead " Enid told us

"Tell me Enid do you think my sister is lying about a murder?" I asked her as she looked at the floor

"I don't know.. that's the thing" she told us

"I know which leads me to believe I've been losing my mind it's not nearly as fun as I had anticipated" Wednesday said as she threw her hands down

"I might of not been there but I believe you and are not losing your mind" I told Wednesday

"You're nevermore gossip queen. What's Rowan's story" Wednesday asked Enid

"Other then being a weird loner..uh..." Enid said

"No offense." She told us

This bitch.

"None taken" me and Wednesday said at the same time

"Xavier is his roommate if you had a cell phone, you could just text him and ask him" she told us

Enid looked back " yoko. Come on! Flare those whiskers" Enid told the girl who's name I knew now yoko

"The Poe cop droops for no one" Enid finished talking to yoko as she turned back to us

"What is the Poe cup anyway?" I asked Enid with a questioning face

"My entire reason for living right now" Enid explained to us

"Part canoe, race, part foot race, no rules" she told us that's no in my topic but no rules sound fun

"Each form has to like an Edgar Allan Poe short story for inspiration" Enid explained more to us

"Y'all could grab a brush" she told us

"Ms.thornhill just ordered pizza. Want to take a stab at being social" she asked us hell no

"We do like stabbing, the social part, not so much besides, it'll cut into my writing time" Wednesday told her

"No worries" she said as she smiled

"Just as long as you're lakeside cheering us to victory on race day" she said happy

"Or you guys can just glare uncontrollably whatever works for y'all" she told us•••••Wednesday was at her desk and using her typewriter but she normally never throws paper away but this time it was like she couldn't get anything off of her mind

She then took out a picture from her left pocket "what's that" I asked as I walked up to her. She stop typing and looked at me as she showed me the photograph "This was found in Rowan's pocket the night of his death" I grabbed the photo from her hand

It was a photograph of two girls who looked similar to Wednesday and I....•••••'We need to find Rowan and we can't find him" I said as Wednesday and I barged into principal weeks office

"It won't be possible I'm afraid he's been expelled." She told us

He's dead how could he be expelled or am I also losing my mind

'For what?" Wednesday ask its like she read my mind that's the fun of being twins

'Never you mind. He'll be on the first train out this afternoon" principal weems told us as we looked at each other "what were you girls doing out In the woods with him in the first place ?" She asked us

"I told you already I heard something and went to go see what it was" Wednesday quickly made up the lie "and I followed her cause we stick together" I said as I stood closer to Wednesday

'That excuse might have placated the sheriff, but you can't fool me."she told us "you had a psychic vision, didn't you?" She asked Wednesday

How could she know, maybe mother had them when she was younger while her and weems went here

"And Y/n did you have one too since you are twins?" She asked me I thought for a moment "no I didn't" I told her

"I realized you might be having them when you passed by the accident" principal weems said

Bringing up what had happened earlier that day "but I am surprised Y/n didn't get them too" she finished and looked at me

"and you knew that poor farmer had broken his neck." She said

"your mother started having visions around your age they were notoriously unreliable and dangerous I remember at first,she thought she might be losing her mind. Have you spoken to her about them?" She asked Wednesday

So I was right mother did had some but why did she never tell us

I may look like mother but Wednesday sure is like her

"Clearly the person holding information here is you" principal weems told Wednesday

"May we go now" Wednesday told her since she didn't have anything to say

"Not until you girls have picked y'all's extracurricular activity"principal weems told us "we want our students to be well-rounded."

"We'd prefer to remain in sharp-edged"Wednesday told her

"I took the liberty of putting together a list of clubs that have openings" weems told us as she put a list of clubs in front of her desk for us to see

"How thoughtful" I said with sarcasm

"You girls need to have picked one by the end of the day... I'll be keeping my eye on you girls... no doubt y'all'll find something that tickles you guys fancy." She told us as she let us go

"The last person who tickled me lost a finger" Wednesday said as she took two papers of the list for both of us

And with that we both left principal weems office•••••Wednesday and I had walked into the school

"Weems is clearly trying to keep tabs on us" I told Wednesday as thing was in front of us

"Keep an eye on rowan" Wednesday told thing "don't let your fingers out of his sight" she said as thing ran away and we started walking in the other direction

Wednesday and I had walked up to the choir class "weems said y'all would be stopping by" Bianca told us "but to be honest, after your performance at the harvest festival drama club might be more your speed" she told Wednesday

"After we passed out, who did you tell? The sheriff? Wednesday asked her

"You think I'd trust a normie cop" Bianca said fair point

"I went straight to weems and let her handle it" she told us

"Anyways let's get this audition over with" Bianca said as she turned back to her choir group

"What are y'all alto, soprano, or just loco?" She asked us as they all laughed

This bitch really thought she did something

Wednesday gasped to sing but didn't but the kid who was on pianos glasses broke

"Huh" he said as he took of his broken lens on the glasses

"What was that?" She asked

"A note only dogs can head" I said as we turned away and walked away

Wednesday and I walked over to the bow and arrow thing were Xavier was

He shot like three times missing all of the targets

"Huh you guys actually showed up. Ever shot a bow and arrow before?" He asked me

"Yeah way better then you" I told him looking up at him and chucked

"Sure" Xavier said "then you know square stance. Load the arrow like this, yellow side out. Three fingers" he said as he showed us his fingers

"Pull back and.." he let go "let if fly"

"Any questions?" He asked both of us

"Whens the last time you saw your roommate Rowan?" Wednesday asked as I grabbed the bow and arrow out of his hand gently

I got in position and pulled back and shot a target

Looking straight forward and loss behind me Xavier said "you mean the one that was killed by a monster?"

"The harvest festival I haven't talked to him since" Xavier said as I turned around and gave it back to him he smiled at me and winked

I just rolled my eyes as I stood behind him watching him

"But his side of the room was all packed this morning" Xavier said as he got into position "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 said as he shoot the bow and arrow

I felt bad for him having to share the same bedroom as someone who could possibly go crazy at anytime

"So what's the deal with you and Tyler" Xavier asked Wednesday as he grabbed my shoulders and pulled me close to him

"Yeah Wednesday what has been going on is he in love with you cause anywhere you go he's there" i said as Xavier and I both looked at her

"There is no deal. He was doing me a favor and driving us out of town" she told him

"Really then why hasn't it happen" I asked

"Yeah word of advice steer Clear" he told her

"Why because he's a normie?" Wednesday asked him as she handed me an arrow

"Cause Tyler and his friends are jerks and Y/n I don't want you to be talking with him either" Xavier said

"Oh look who's caring about me" I said as I stood beside Wednesday teasing him

"They can't stand that his schools propping up their podunk town." He told us

"Says the boy who's life was served on a silver platter and trying to get with my sister" Wednesday said as I got into position

"Why girls in glass houses-" Xavier started

"Should throw bigger stones" Wednesday and I said in sync

"At least I'm not an elitist snob." Wednesday said as she threw an apple in the air for me while I let go of the arrow making a bullseye with the apple

"Ouch" Xavier said with sarcasm

Wednesday has started walking away and I followed suit

"Hey y/n" Xavier grabbed my arm and stopped me

"What's the thing between me and you?" He asked me as I looked up

"I don't know what is the thing between me and you I've been waiting for you to do something" I said and walked away catching up with Wednesday

Wednesday and I had walked to the bee club which was located a bit far from the school

"Are you interested in the ancient art of beekeeping?" A voice behind us asked

We turned around

"Eugene. Eugene Ottinger" he said as he held out two hands for us to shake

"Founder and president of the nevermore hummers" he said he must really like bees I thought to myself

"Wednesday. Wednesday Addams" Wednesday shook his hand

"Y/n . Y/n Addams" I said as I shook his other hand after Wednesday

"Are we late or is it only you" I asked as I looked around and no one was there only bees

"The hive life isn't for everyone most kids are afraid of venomous insects" he told us understandable

I'm not a big person about bees let's hope Wednesday doesn't choose this club even tho Eugene. Is nice , I thought to myself

"Are y'all willing to fill the sting?" He asked us as he started getting close

Next thing you know Wednesday and I were in bed uniforms so we wouldn't get stinged

"Bees have been producing honey in the same way for 150 million years" Eugene stated

"They are nature's perfect community all working together to achieve a conman goal fun fact it's also one of the few ecosystems in which females dominate" Eugene continued as Wednesday and I turned and saw thing Pointed and left

"From the queen bee to her workers there is no patriarchy in the hive!" Eugene told us

Wednesday and I had left by then but I heard him say it •••••"Rowan we need to talk" Wednesday said as I put on my jacket

"Wednesday I'm not allowed to speak to anyone" Rowan said as he started putting his things in the car

"You had a lot to say when you tired killing me and almost killing Y/n " Wednesday told him

"Told her we were destined to destroy the school, remember?" I asked Rowan

"Where did you get that drawing" Wednesday asked him another question

"I just went into the woods to clear my head" he told us that's nonsense

"Then y'all came after me" he told us as he threw his hands

"Wednesday and Y/n " Mrs.thronhill said to us giving me that look

"Y'all shouldn't be here" she told us

"Yeah back off and leave me alone" Rowan put his hand on Wednesday

Who tf-

Thing had hopped onto the back of the car which me and Wednesday has noticed and nodded as we watched them drive away •••••It was now time for class

"How do you lose him in a bathroom with no windows?" Wednesday asked thing who was hiding behind a pot as I stood behind her but looking the other way

"A lefty wouldn't have failed me" Wednesday said I knew that hurt thing since he was a righty

"Don't sulk"

"I'm going to have to find new evidence myself since you lost our only lead" Wednesday said as I was looking the other way not knowing Bianca and her group had walked towards us

"I see you finally made a friend" Bianca said to Wednesday as I turned around

She did not just say what I think she said

"Even if it is a plant"

"I go for quality over quantity" Wednesday told her

I walked away from their conversation looking for a seat "there an open spot next to me" Xavier said as I looked and sat beside him

"If that Wednesday can stand sitting that close to an elitist snob" he said as he continued drawing a small smile appeared on my face

I sat beside him as Wednesday took a seat next to me

Xavier had finished his drawing of the spider and his hand started moving

Then the spider came alive it started crawling towards me how fascinating

"I doubt Wednesday and Y/n are impressed by your tricks Mr.Thorpe" ms.thronhill told him

As she whole class attend laughing I just stood quiet

"Admit it y'all were a little impressed" he asked us

"A spider that's all you can do?" I asked him as I laughed teasing him about it even though I was impressed

The spider started walking towards Wednesday as she smashed the lead spider

"Wednesday and Y/n we are thrilled to have you join us" Ms.Thronhill told us as Xavier closed his notebook

"On our journey into the world of carnivorous plants now..."

"Who can tell us the name of this beauty" she asked

Bianca raised her hand " densrophylax lindenii" Wednesday blurted out

As the whole class looked at her "otherwise know as the ghost orchid" me and Bianca said at the same time which I looked at her

"First discoverer on the Isle of Wight in 1854" Wednesday said she has always been into different flowers

"Very good Addams . You may have competition for first chair, Bianca" Ms.Thronhill said to the class

"Y/n perhaps you can identify the ghost orchids greatest qualities?" She asked me

"Resilience and adaptability its able to thrive in even the most hostile environments" I said as I put my head on to my hands

"But it's mere presence can change the ecosystem causing the established plant to reject it" Bianca said

"Usually because the native species is allowed to thrive unchecked" Wednesday stated "nothing a weedwqcker couldn't fix" Wednesday added

"You can most certainly try"Bianca stated

"Are we still talking about flowers" Xavier asked

"Thank you ladies for those illuminating insights." Mrs thronhill said "clearly the plants aren't the only carnivores in class today" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
