"While most plants reward their pollinators
with sweet nectar, many carnivorous varieties
turn to sexual trickery or deception." Ms.
Thornhill lectured.

Wednesday sat at her usual desk, next to
Xavier's right, while Y/n was on Xaviers's right as well.

Xavier reached down to grab something and let
out a quiet grunt of pain.

Y/n looked over at him concerned.
"Are you okay?" She whispered.

"Yeah, I tweaked my back fencing." He told her.

Wednesday turned her head slightly towards
them, analyzing their interaction.

"The orchid produces a pheromone that mimics
a female insect, luring the males in. Now, once
the plant is pollinated, what do the male insects
get in exchange?" Ms. Thornhill asked.

"Nada." Bianca answered. "Just like all the guys
at the Rave'N."

The students quietly chuckled at that.

"Okay, okay. I know you're all excited about
Saturday, which is why I haven't assigned any
homework." Ms. Thornhill announced.

The students murmured happily at that.

"But I do still need volunteers for the decorating
committee. Anyone interested, come and see
me up here."

Xavier looked over at Wednesday and Y/n.

"What you're not gonna volunteer? Aren't you guys pumped about disco balls and spiked punch?" Xavier asked sarcastically. "There's even a DJ. MC Blood Suckaz."

Y/n shook her head and stood up. She walked over to Ms. Thornhill.

...

(Y/n's pov)

I don't know why I'm doing this. I hate volunteering for stuff like this. I could just make up an excuse.

"Are you here to volunteer?"

"I-What? Oh no. I just had a question."

"Oh ok. What did you need?"

I need an excuse. Like..right..now.

But what can I use. Something about plants? What's her full name? No, that's rude to teachers. Her back story of her coming to Nevermore?

"Y/n?" A voice asked.

Think Y/n! Think!

"Y/n?" The voice asked again.

Y/n! I swear if you don't-

"Y/n!" The voice called

"Y-Yeah?" Y/n stuttered.

"Are you okay? And are you going answer me?" Thornhill asked.

"Oh yeah. What's the name of that plant that eats bugs and some other things?" Y/n asked.

"Venus flytrap?" Thornhill questioned.

"Yep. Thanks." Y/n awkwardly said as she walked away.

...

(Nobody's pov)

"I'd rather stick needles in my eyes Wednesday replied bluntly. "I'll probably do that anyway."

Xavier chuckled dryly and turned to Y/n who just got back. "What about you? Are you going?"

The girl shrugged. "Uh, I don't know...Haven't
decided yet..Dances aren't really my thing,
and......nobody's asked me yet."

Xavier grabbed his stuff. "Well maybe you can
be the one to do the asking." He suggested.
