CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

A group of teens joined hands as they sat down in a circle inside a locked classroom on a fine Wednesday morning. They had all been sent to what their school called friend counseling with Dorian Williams, the school librarian and Emma Tig, the guidance counselor. These teenagers were none others than Adrian Aquilo, Hope Mikaelson, Lizzie Saltzman, Josie Saltzman, Penelope Park, Owen Whitaker, and Santana Jade. They had all been sentenced to a full week of friend group counseling— or Hell, as the blonde Saltzman girl called it— after the fight that broke out between two of the teens at a party just three days ago.

"Alright, keep holding hands" Dorian began as he circled the group, "And let's start with describing the person on your right with a word. A nice word"

The pale blonde Saltzman girl groaned, "I can not believe the whole school got a day off and went to town while we're stuck here. And of course, we have none other than Hope Mikaelson to thank for that"

"Hey" The Aquilo boy spoke up, "It wasn't her fault"

"Alright" Emma approached the group of teens and took a seat between Owen and Santana, "Penelope, why don't you start by complementing Lizzie? And remember everyone, be nice to each other"

The Park witch nodded, turning to face the siphoner with a forced smile, "Look, I wish I could say something nice but with all disrespect, I'd ra—"

Lizzie furrowed her brows, "You mean 'all due respect'... right?"

Penelope's expression turned serious when the girl cut her off, "With all disrespect, I'd rather not" She repeated.

"Okay," Ms. Tig cleared her throat, "Uhm, why don't we go the other way? Lizzie say something nice about the person on your left"

The blonde Saltzman girl rolled her eyes but then faced Penelope who sat on her left, "You're literally the devil incarnate"

The brunette Park witch faked a smile and turned to her wolf friend and fellow brunet, "Adrian, I suppose you're not ugly"

The Aquilo boy nodded, accepting what he assumed was her version of a compliment. He then glanced over at the brunette Saltzman girl on his left, "Josie..." He began, trailing off as he tried to come up with something to say, "I heard you're a pyromaniac"

Josie gaped at the boy, taken back at what was supposed to be a nice compliment. Penelope smirked, "Don't look at him like that, we all know that you love playing with fire"

"Yeah, otherwise you wouldn't have stuck your nose in Penelope" Owen laughed.

"Fingers, Owen" Adrian corrected his friend, "It's fingers in Penelope"
