The next day, I walked with my sister into the fencing class wearing our black uniforms. When we entered, I noticed one of them stopping and removing his mask. It was the popular artist boy. I was walking when I saw thing hiding behind some benches

Y/n: What is thing doing here?

I whispered and she turned to me

Wednesday: Not now 

She whispered, and then a boy fell down, removing his mask 

Boy: Coach, coach, she tripped me 

Coach: It was a clean strike, Rowan 

He said, and I noticed the girl was Bianca, the school's famous queen bee

Bianca: Maybe if you whined less and practised more, you wouldn't suck! Seriously, coach, when am I getting some real competition? Is anyone else who wants to challenge me?

Wednesday: I do 

My sister said, and I looked at her confused. One thing I admire about my sister is her self-esteem and that she is not scared of anyone or anything. While in the other hand, you can't call me a social person !!!  Bianca turned to us with a surprised look 

Bianca: Well, well, well, the devil twins !!! Did your funeral get canceled or anything, and came here straight from your coffin?

Wednesday: And you must be the self-appointed queen bee. Interesting thing about bees pull out their stingers, and they drop dead 

She said and I smirked

Bianca: Rowan doesn't need you to come to his defence. He is not helpless, he is lazy 

Wednesday: Are we doing this or not? 

She said, and I looked at her worried I knew my sister, and I also knew that this thing wasn't going to end well! But when they got ready I stepped away 

Y/n: I am going to sit 

Coach: Nonsense !!! You are going to be against Mr. Thorpe 

He said, and I looked at the artist boy. I sighed and put on my headphones before I wore my mask. He smirked and ignored him. When we started, my Walkman suddenly decided to stop, and I had to listen to him talking non-stop 

Xavier: I am Xavier ! I don't think I catch your name 

He said, and I won my first point 

Y/n: Why do you care?

Xavier: Just curious 

He said, but I noticed that the game between my sister and Bianca was getting too violent, so I removed my mask 

Bianca: The first point was clearly beginner's luck! Let's finish this 

Wednesday: For the final point, I want to invoke a military challenge. No masks, no tips 

Y/n: Wednesday, I don't think-

I said and she turned to me 

Wednesday: Shh Y/n 

She said, and I scoffed. The last time she did that to our old school, the kid went to the hospital in a coma and we both got expelled. I wouldn't want the same here 

Wednesday: Winner draws first blood 

Y/n: Oh no 

I whispered and looked at them worried 

Coach: It's your decision, Bianca 

Bianca: Let's see if you bleed in black and white 

She said, and I rolled my eyes. Then I watched them compete with each other, and it was intense. Sometimes I wish I had the self-encourage my sister has, but I will never !!! Then my sister stopped and touched her forehead and she had blood

Bianca: Your face finally got that splash of color it finally needed 

I started wearing my headphones and she turned to me 

Bianca: Zombie girl number two, would you like to compete?

Y/n: Do you want to lose that badly?

I said and handed my sister my headphones and my Walkman 

Bianca: Let's see what else you can do than read minds 

When we started competing, I wanted so badly to make her lose after what she did to my sister, and I felt like I was being more aggressive than she was. Until I made her bleed in her arm, and I smirked when my sister had a proud smile on her face. When we were leaving, she handed me my headphones again, and I saw the artist boy smirking at me and I ignored him. I went to change, and then my sister went to the nurse. Because it was still afternoon, I went for a walk in the yard I wore my headphones and started drawing in my notebook when I felt two hands pushing me off the way, and then I dozed out. The next thing I remember was waking up in the nurse's room and the artist boy being in front of me 

Xavier: Welcome back 

He said and when I stood up he sat 

Y/n: What happened?

Xavier: A gargoyle went to hit you, but I pushed you out of the way 

Y/n: Thanks, I guess 

Xavier: You need to be more careful! Also, you are really talented 

He said and he handed me my notebook 

Y/n: Why were you snooping around my things?

Xavier: When you fell to the ground, your bag opened and your notebook fell open too. I have an artist club you know !!! You can join if you like 

Y/n: I don't like cooperating 

I said and started looking in my bag where I couldn't find my headphones  

Xavier: If you are looking for your headphones, they unfortunately broke 

He said and gave me my destroyed Walkman while I looked at it in shock

Y/n: Oh no 

I said, and I started panicking but thank go then thing entered and gave me a new one 

Y/n: Thank you thing 

I said, and he started telling me that my mom gave it to me in case something like that happened

Xavier: Is he like your pet or something?

He said and thing showed him his middle finger and I laughed 

Y/n: No, this is thing, and he is like the hand of an ancient relative of mine. We don't know where the other parts are 

Xavier: Oh yeah, I remember him 

He said and I looked at him confused 

Xavier: Oh, I am sorry, but we have met before. You and me! It was my godmother's funeral, and we were playing hide and seek

Y/n: And you were the boy who hide inside her coffin? Now I remember! I am sorry, but I still can remember your screams because they were epic 

I said with a small smile, and he smiled too. Was I smiling at a boy?
