“Hey!” Enid says as the boy helps her up.
“Sorry! I’m just really in a hurry.”
The boy, said, running away. Enid just stared out into blank space. “Hey? Enid? You okay?” I asked, waving a hand over her face. “Yeah…he was cute, wasn’t he?” She said, smiling in a daze. “Oh my god, come on!” I grab her hand and pull her down the stairs. Bianca chuckles, then I start giggling. By the time we reach the bottom of the stairs, we’re full on laughing. “Hey, what’s so funny?” Enid asked, blushing. “Nothing.” I replied, smiling. Me, Enid, and Bianca, ran into the courtyard. Werewolves wolf whistled at me, I rolled my eyes. “Stupid wolves.” Bianca said, rolling her eyes. “Not all wolves are stupid.” I say. “But those ones are.” I rolled my eyes again at them. I finally took a look at the courtyard surrounding me. My eyes widened and I smiled softly. A huge fountain in the middle of the grassy ground sparkled beautifully. Not to mention, there was a huge oak tree planted in the middle of the fountain. “It’s beautiful, isn’t it?” I asked my two companions. “Yeah.” Bianca said smiling. “I love nature.” I say, sauntering over to a planter in the corner of the court. “Mm, it’s cute. It could do with a little leaves though.” Enid said, skipping over to where I was standing. I caressed the deep red rose petals, a bigger smile playing across my lips. “Roses. I love ‘em, but I like black ones better.” Bianca says, standing next to me. “I like pink ones!” Enid says cheerfully. I chuckled. “Of course you do.” I look up and realize the presentation is starting and we haven’t found a seat. Chairs are spread out all over the lawn. Enid’s eyes flicker to where the boy from earlier is sitting. “I’m gonna go sit over there…” Enid says dreamily. Before I could protest, she had already taken a seat next to the boy with the purple beanie. I sighed, flopping down on a seat in the back. “Hey, you okay?” Bianca whispers as Principal Weems had already started her welcome speech. “I guess.” I say unhappily. “Now, to all of you who are new this year,” Principal Weems started. “Don’t be afraid. That’s the biggest thing. We will all welcome you to Nevermore, right Welcoming Squad?” Principal Weems said, looking toward a group of older kids. “Yes!” Well, most of the kids said it like that, but some just whispered yes with no enthusiasm whatsoever. “These students were hand picked by our most trusted staff and have been at Nevermore since their freshman year…” Principal Weems went on to tell us about how they showed great courage and stuff, but I noticed a girl that really stood out to me. She had silvery jet black hair and a huge, genuine, smile plastered on her rosy cheeks. She was Asian, and so was the boy next to her. I didn’t know where they came from, but I wanted to know. “…and now our Welcoming Squad will introduce themselves!” A big, tall, girl stepped forward. She was wearing a blue sweater that said “Welcoming Rocks!” on it, like the rest of the kids, but she had it custom designed with leopard print and pink bows. I thought of Enid and had to stifle a giggle. She was wearing blood red blush and red lipstick. She had white teeth and a fake accent that’s for sure. “Hi! I’m Beth! I will be helping last names A-G!” The girl said in a really bad country accent. I wondered why she did that stupid accent anyway. Bianca groaned. “She doesn’t look much fun.” She said leaning back in her chair. “Oh yeah, you’re a B. Sorry Bianca! That sucks.” I say sympathetically. The next person stepped forward. It was a boy with slicked back blonde hair. “Hi I’m Victor and I have last names H-L.” He said with no emotion. He stepped back. Next was a girl with brown hair and braces. She seemed nice. “I’m Jessica and I have M-Q.” She said and smiled. I liked her too, but I couldn’t get over the feeling I had for the girl with the silvery black hair…speaking of which, she was next! “Hi, I’m Mai and I have last names R-V!” She said happily, but not too over the top. I went through my abc’s frantically trying to remember where S was. I smiled when I figured out who I’d get.
