EVIE POV

EW EW EW, I had just come back from the worst morning ever. I got asked to keep a secret from Electric boy, and get puked on in the process by a brain eating monster. I swear this school year just keeps getting- better. and better.

Even better I got a warm welcome from my roommate who looked at me like I was a dead rat. And smelled like it.

"What skincare routine are you into?? Puke?"

I roll my eyes and give a sarcastic smile "Yeah, I heard it gets rid of red heads."

Her eye twitched "Seems like you had a bad day, don't worry it gets worse."

Shoot. It's Prank Day. "Back at ya'" Did I have a prank planned later? Absolutely not.

I took a shower and changed uniforms, I'm so glad I still had that spare Jacket Enid had given me. I honestly think it was from Ajax...

The bathroom smelled like a dumpster after, hopefully it goes away— actually I hope it doesn't, my roommate deserves a little gag.

I looked to my desk after and noticed that the stack of Babysitters Club books that I borrowed from the Library were gone, as well as my annoying roommate.

That's weird.

I looked to my left wanting to write down some tea I had heard last night, but see that my laptop was upright. I don't remember opening it...

Was it Agnes?

I made my way into the corridors of Ophelia Hall, looking like ajax with the Nevermore jacket, all I needed was a beanie and i'd fool everyone I was his little sister.

I was still lingering on what kind of foolish prank Agnes would do, on the other hand I couldn't think of a single prank to help myself.

"Boo!" Daniel popped out from the corner

I gave a slight smile "Hi?"

"Dang it. Your not scared?"

That was his prank? okay now I know jump-scaring people is out of style. "My dad scares people for a living. You're going to have to try better than that"

"Happy Prank Day"

"Happy Prank Day."

We walked and talked, it was nice talking to someone, but the conversation sometimes gets awkward, we stop in front of two boys that were solidified as rock. As I look closer, it was Pugsley and Eugene. "oh geez this is gold." I let out a dry chuckles as I took my phone out to get some pictures

"go stand in the middle." I told Dan, I couldn't stop giggling and was seriously contemplating giving them weights so they can tumble back when they unfreeze.

Until suddenly

"You know, I really like you, Evie."

I froze, my smile gone. "Hm?"

"Do you want to go on a date?"

WHAT? Sorry I think I misunderstood, I feel like I should go to an ear doctor, somethings definitely blocking my ear canal. "pardon?"

He moves closer, "Would you like to go on a date with me?"

I could feel my legs walking backward and my drapetomania // a word here which means an overwhelming urge to run away // kicking in "I-I actually have to go—"

Splat.

I open my eyes slowly, to be covered in once again another substance. Cold, Pink, Slime.

I turned my head to my right as Agnes and her little crew we're laughing at me, meanwhile Dan stood in shock and concern, which promptly made it worse.

Great, now I have no extra clothes, bathed in pink slimy goo, and humiliated in front of a guy that had just asked me on a date. You know what? I should have just stayed inside my room.

I heard cracking sounds from behind, Pugsley and Eugene had unfroze. And that too.

"Happy Prank Day Evie! Don't worry pink is soo your color." Agnes gave me that wide grin, which made me want to cover her in pink Goo as well. That. I did.

I marched to the middle of the Link "You know what pink goes well with?" I grabbed her hair and smeared pink slime all over it. "Red."

"See it looks way better on you."

Agnes shrieked like a banshee, which caught half the attention of the people in the Link "OH IM GOING TO KILL YOU."

"Try." oh its going down.

"Evie, are you trying to get expelled?" Eugene hissed, shoving his glasses up his nose. "This is how people get thrown into the principal's office—and possibly juvie."

Is violence tolerated at Nevermore? No, but murders been quite the trend lately.

Agnes lunged at me, I pulled her hair, she pulled mine, but before we could actually rip our throats out Pugsley and Eugene broke us apart.

"Alright, ladies!" Eugene wheezed, trying to hold Agnes back while slipping on slime. "Violence is never the Answer!"

Pugsley was trying his best to hold me back. "Prank Day's supposed to be fun! Not homicide— thats a different kind of fun."

"She started it!" I shouted, still reaching for Agnes. "Let me at her!"

Agnes screeched from the other side, equally restrained. "She ruined my hair!"

I had calmed down a bit, with now both Eugene and Pugsley holding my arm so I wont run away clawing at Agnes, while her crew looks at me like I had just ripped her hair out. Sure I kinda did, but it wasnt that bad.

"You can let go now im fine."

"i dont trust you" Eugene narrowed his eyes at me

"Same." Pugsley chimed in

Dan kept staring at me like he wanted to do something but didn't, It was humiliating, but satisfying at the same time.

"OW! stop picking at my hair dude"

"Sorry— this is very strange, it kinda feels like snot. but pink."

"you've never heard of slime before?"

"No." Well I mean he is an Addams.

"Lets get you cleaned up" said Eugene

The jacket had soaked up most of the slime, so my button up and my skirt were completely fine. I couldn't get myself to take a shower in my dorm because I left it smelling like puke earlier and mostly because I don't want to see my awful roommates face. So I used their's instead.

"Do you guys have an extra blaizer?" I look up to see both of them suddenly way too intrested in reading.

"yeah its on the chair over there" Eugene muttered without looking up

I glanced at the blaizer on the chair then back at the two of them, as a smirk tugged at my lips

"Are you guys always this shy? or just when a girl borrows your bathroom?'

Pugsley slightly looked up from his book and Eugene coughed into his sleeve.

I chuckled, sliding into the blazer. "Kay. Thanks."

I made my way back to Ophelia hall, I see Agnes slipping into Enid's and Wednesday's room in a cloak, I mixed in with the shadows and moved closer to hear what was happening, I heard Enid talking to Thing about the Addams forgetting about his birthday, then suddenly it goes quiet.

I peeked inside, until suddenly Agnes and her crew drag Enid and Bruno out of the dorm, what the hell is she up to? I followed them into Iago tower, and as her minions go away, I confront her

"Oh. So that's where my babysitter club books went."

Agnes spun around "What the hell are you doing here?"

"The question is, what are you doing?? Kidnapping is a crime y'know. "

She tilted her head, smiling "Its a secret. You seem to know lots of those."

"Excuse me?" what was she talking about? was it...

"The website, its you isn't it? No one else writes about stuff like that besides you."

"Its not me." I play it off, please work.

"Really? well you're definitely hiding something. What's with the puke from earlier?"

"That-was...Slurps."

"Slurp?" her eyes narrowed in confusion

"Its- Hey! I asked you first. Tell me or i'll tell Wednesday."

"NO! fine, its an elaborate prank, so that she would notice me, ive been stalking her for weeks. But- I wont do any harm"

"The ceiling says otherwise."

She rolls her eyes "Your turn."

I hesitated for a moment "Slurp's a zombie, someone brought back to life." the words slipped out before I could stop them, sorry Pugsley. "ill keep your secret. you'll keep mine, deal?"

Agnes agrees "Fine."
