Walking into my class on carnivorous plants, I see that Wednesday has sat next to Enid so I walk over to the only other empty seat which is next to Xavier who is currently sketching in his art book.
"Do you mind if I sit here?" I ask with a smile as he looks up from his drawing, eye lighting up slightly upon seeing me and nods.
"Wanna see a trick, princess?" Xavier asks playfully as he holds his hand over the page of his art book and I watch as his painting of a spider comes to life and starts crawling towards me causing me to grimace slightly.
If there's one thing in life that I hate, it would be spiders.
"Don't tell me you are scared of spiders princess" Xavier teases noticing me slowly inching away from the spider
"I doubt Athena is impressed by your tricks, Mr Thorpe" Miss Thornhill scolds as Xavier returns the spider to his art book
"Admit it you were a little impressed" Xavier says smugly
"Maybe a tiny little bit" I say holding up my finger and thumb to indicate just how small causing everyone to chuckle.
"Wednesday and Athena, we are thrilled to have you join us on our journey into the world of carnivorous plants." Miss Thornhill says with a smile
"Now, who can tell us the name of this beauty?" Miss Thornhill asks as Bianca immediately puts her hand up
"Dendrophylax lindenii" Wednesday says beating Bianca to the answer
"Otherwise known as the ghost orchid" Bianca adds
"First discovered on the isle of Wight in 1854" I say with a smile
"Very good Wednesday, Athena, looks like you may have competition for first chair, Bianca" Miss Thornhill states as the class snickers
"Wednesday, perhaps you can identify the ghost orchids greates qualities"
"Resilience and adaptation, it's able to thrive in even the most hostile environments" Wednesday replies instantly causing me to smirk
"But it's mere presence can change an ecosystem, causing the establish plants to reject it" Bianca adds with a glare directed towards both me and Wednesday
"Usually because the native species is allowed to thrive unchecked, nothing some weed killer can't fix" I reply back with a smile
"You can most certainly try" Bianca says smugly
"Are we still talking about flowers?" Xavier asks as the class erupts into laughter, the tense atmosphere between the three of them lessening slightly
"Thank you ladies for those illuminating insights, clearly the plants aren't the only carnivores in class today" Miss Thornhill jokes
Later on that evening, I was sitting in my bed reading a book on various poisons you can create from plants and thinking back on what Wednesday had told me earlier about finding Rowans bloody glasses in the woods and how she had a lead on where the painting may have come from.
Suddenly Enid walks into the room distressed and crying and immediately goes over to her bed and starts hitting it, at the same time Wednesday appears through the window before sharing a questioning glance with me towards are crying roommate.
"What's wrong Enid?" I ask softly as she gets up and walks over to us in hysterics
"Yoko is in the infirmary" Enid replies "Garlic bread incident at dinner, she had a major allergic reaction to it and now she's out of the Poe Cup and my other team mate twisted their ankle so they can't compete either"
"It wasn't an accident, Biancas behind it" Wednesday states
"How do you know?" Enid questions
"Doesn't matter, we are going to take her down tomorrow" Wednesday says looking at me for confirmation to which I happily nod, looks like it's finally time for some revenge on Bianca
"Wait, you two will join the black cats?" Enid asks happily "You're willing to do that for me?"
"I want to humiliate Bianca so badly that the bitter taste is defeat burn in her throat" Wednesday states coldly
"Yeah but mostly you're doing it cause we are friends right?" Enid questions
"Tell me how she keeps winning" Wednesday demands
"The past 2 years no other boat has made it across and back without sinking" Enid explains
"Sounds like sabotage" I say
"There are no rules in the Poe cup and she is a siren which makes her master of the water" Enid sighs
"Then we just need to beat her at her own game" Wednesday states
"Well then, shall we begin planning" I say as I undo the ribbon I have tied around my wrist and use it to tie my hair back
As we are creating our plan to stop Bianca winning the Poe cup, I move over to Wednesday to question her on if she found out anything else.
"So, how did it go?, where were you just now?" I ask intrigued
"Well...."
WEDNESDAY POV...
"That purple book has got to be around here somewhere" Wednesday says to thing as they break into Xavier's room
"Start investigating" She says as thing begins to roam around the room as Wednesday looks on the desk.
As she is flipping through Xavier's art book she finds a drawing of Athena.
Wednesday then begins to investigate under Rowans bed and finds a secret compartment with a mask in. Just as she is about to leave Xavier comes out of the shower as there's a knock on the door causing Wednesday to duck under his bed.
"You're not supposed to be up here" Xavier says dragging Bianca into his room
"Good to see you too" Bianca says
"How's you get past the housemaster, use you siren powers?" Xavier says accusingly
"Not while wearing this, would it kill you to not think the worst of me for once?" Bianca asks
"what do you want Bianca?" Xavier says with a sigh
"To see who you're doing" Bianca replies "I'm sorry about Rowan, I know you guys used to be close"
"Since when did you give a damn about Rowan?" Xavier questions
"You were the one afraid he'd do something to Athena or Wednesday" Bianca states
"Isn't that why you've been following Athena around like an eager-eyed puppy?" Bianca taunts "Or is there something more?"
"Seriously what do you see in her?" Bianca asks
"You suddenly have a thing for angelic looking girls who are actually more sadistic than you think" Bianca says
"Maybe it's because she hasn't tried to manipulate me" Xavier defends
"I make one mistake and you can't forgive me, she gives you a few smiles and you can't get enough" Bianca exclaims
"Why are you so fixated on Athena?" Xavier asks
"Because, her and Wednesday think they are better than everyone else, I can't wait to crush Ophelia hall tomorrow and watch their werewolf roommate crumble" Bianca says with a smirk
"It's going to be a Poe cup finale to remember "
"I hate to think what you've got planned" Xavier adds
"My games already started, I like to win, is that so wrong?" Bianca asks
"And you wonder why I broke up with you" Xavier replies
"You used to love my killer instinct, we were good together Xavier" Bianca says
"Were we ?, or is that just how you wanted me to feel?" Xavier asks coldly
"Trust me, Athena Morningstar is not the girl of your dreams, she's the stuff of your nightmares" Bianca says as she leaves the room.
END OF WEDNESDAY POV...
"My that is some interesting information you learnt, for one I wonder what the meaning behind the mask is but two, now I'm just buzzing with excitement for when she crush Bianca tomorrow."
"With mine and your plans combined, there's no way she stands any chance against us" Wednesday says with an ever so slight smirk.
"You better watch your back Bianca...
...because I'm about to show you just how much of a nightmare I can be"
