07:27Wednesday is certainly a unique name I'm guessing it was the day of the week you
07:33were born I was born on Friday the 13th her name comes from a line from my
07:37favorite nursery rhyme Wednesday's child is full of woe you always had a unique
07:45perspective on the world Morticia did your mother tell you we were roommates
07:49back in the day and you graduated with your sanity intact impressive you
07:56certainly had a very interesting educational journey eight schools in
08:00five years they haven't built one strong enough to hold me I bet this place won't
08:04be any different I believe what I thought is trying to state that she
08:07greatly appreciates the opportunity
08:12nevermore doesn't usually accept students midterm but given Wednesday's
08:17perfect grades and your family's long history with the school I've spoken with
08:22the board and we've made an exception
08:29Larissa what about Wednesday's um therapy sessions the court ordered them
08:37the school has a relationship with a therapist in Jericho she can meet twice
08:41a week did you hear that my little storm cloud you're an excellent ass we'll see
08:46if she survives the first session I've assigned you to your mother's old dorm
08:52Ophelia Hall ah refresh my memory Ophelia is the one who kills herself
08:58after being driven mad by her family correct
09:04sure we don't meet your new roommate
09:16it's so vivid howdy roomie Wednesday this is Enid Sinclair are you feeling
09:27okay you look a little pale Wednesday always looks half-dead welcome to Ophelia
09:35Hall not a hugger got it please excuse Wednesday she's allergic to color oh
09:42wow what happens to you I break out into hives and then the flesh peels off my
09:47bones luckily we've special ordered you a uniform
09:51Enid please take Wednesday to the registrar's office to pick it up along
09:55with a copy of her schedule and give her a tour along the way
10:09Nevermore was founded in 1791 to educate people like us outcasts freaks monsters
10:14fill in your favorite marginalized group here you can save the sanitized sales
10:18pitch I don't plan on staying here for long why not this was my parents idea oh
10:24look there's my mother smirking at me they've been looking for any excuse to
10:28send me here it's all a part of their nefarious yet completely obvious plan
10:32what plan to turn me into a version of themselves well in that case perhaps
10:38you can clear something up rumors been swirling around that you killed a kid at
10:41your old school and your parents will string sketch off actually it was two
10:44kids pretty astounding
10:47welcome to the quad
10:53it's a pentagon the whole snarky goth girl thing might have worked at Normie
10:59school but here things are different let me give you a wiki on nevermore
11:03social scene I'm not interested in participating in tribal adolescent
11:07cliches then use it to fill your obviously bottomless pit of disdain
11:11there are many flavors of outcasts here but the four main cliques are fangs
11:15first stoners and scales those are the fangs aka vampires some of them have
11:21literally been here for decades that bunch of knuckleheads are first aka
11:26werewolves get pretty loud around here that's when first like wolf Alice
11:32suggest you pick up some noise-canceling headphones I'm assuming scales are
11:36sirens you catch on quick and that girl Bianca Barclay is the closest thing
11:41nevermore has to royalty although her crowns been slipping lately she sedate
11:46our resident tortured artist Xavier Thorpe but I broke up the beginning of
11:50the semester

12:09bodies of my victims and feed them to my menagerie of pets Ajax this is my
12:15new roommate Wednesday you're in black and white like a living Instagram filter

12:26clueless you know it's a small school and there wasn't much online about you
12:29you know you should really get on insta snapchat and tick-tock I find social
12:33media to be a soul-sucking void of meaningless affirmation

17:03punctuation I write in my voice it's my truth it's what my followers love your
17:08followers are clearly imbeciles they respond to your stories but then sip of
17:13little pictures you mean emojis it's how people express their feelings you know I

18:20conservatory I try to match the right flower to each of my girls and when I
18:24read your personal statement in your application I immediately thought of

18:32unsolved murder thank you okie-dokie well before I leave I want to go over a
18:38few house rules lights off at 10 no loud music and no boys ever what's the
18:44story about going into the local town passes to Jericho are a privilege not a
18:48right it's a brisk 25-minute walk or there's a shuttle on the weekends the
18:52locals are a tad bit wary about nevermore so please don't go making any
18:57waves or perpetuating any outcast stereotypes that means keep your claws
19:01to yourself and no smothering people in their sleep are we clear
19:08great talk
19:38coach coach you treat me it was a clean strike rolling maybe if you wind less
19:43and practice more you wouldn't suck seriously coach when am I gonna get some
19:47real competition anyone else want to challenge me I do
19:53you must be the psychopath they let in and you must be the self-appointed Queen
19:57B interesting thing about bees pull out their stingers and they drop dead
20:02Rowan doesn't need you to come to his defense he's not hopeless he's lazy are
20:07we doing this or not
20:13I got
20:38point Wednesday
20:46the score is even that first point was clearly beginners luck let's finish this
20:56for the final point I would like to invoke a military challenge no masks no
21:01tips when it draws first blood
21:09it's your decision Bianca let's see if you bleed him black and white
21:31Oh
21:47your face finally got that splash of color it's so desperately needed
21:53you
22:00you're Wednesday right Rowan I know how you feel I guarantee you don't my mother
22:10promised me I'd finally fit in somewhere I never thought it was possible to be an
22:16outcast in a school full of outcasts but it looks like you're gonna give me a run
22:21for my money sorry about that Nick no good deed goes unpunished
22:51you
23:05welcome back just take it easy the nurse said you don't have a concussion but you
23:11probably have a pretty nasty bump huh the last thing I remember I was walking
23:15outside feeling a mixture of rage pity and self-disgust I've never felt that way
23:20before yeah losing to Bianca has that effect on people I think and then I
23:23looked up and I saw that gargoyle coming down at me and I thought at least I'll
23:26have an imaginative death then you tackled me out of the way why call it
23:35instinct see you were guided by latent chivalry a tool of the patriarchy to
23:40extract my undying gratitude mm-hmm you know most people just say thank you I
23:43don't want to be rescued so I should have just let that thing smash you to
23:46mush I would have rather saved myself it's good to see you haven't changed if
23:51it makes you feel any better let's just say I return the favor
23:54Xavier Thorpe you probably don't remember me at last time we met I was
23:58about two feet shorter 40 pounds heavier what happened puberty I guess I meant
24:04what happened the last time we met oh yeah it was my godmother's funeral
24:10apparently she was friends with your grandmother and they spent their 20s
24:13together in Europe swindling the rich and notorious I don't know but we were
24:1810 and we were bored decided to play hide-and-seek I had the inspired idea to
24:23hide in her casket I got stuck as it was headed to the crematorium I'd heard
24:27muffled screams I just figured your godmother had somehow cheated death and
24:30was trying to claw her way out either way you hit the big red stop button and
24:34save me from being flame-broiled so now we're even
24:40I knew it hello thing did you really think my highly
25:09trained olfactory sense you don't pick up on the faint whiff of neroli and
25:12bergamot in your favorite hand lotion I could do this all day surrender mother
25:23and father sent you to spy on me didn't they not above breaking a few fingers
25:28the fact that they thought I wouldn't find out just proves how much they
25:31underestimate me Oh saying poor naive appendage my parents aren't worried
25:37about me they're evil puppeteers who want to pull my strings even from afar
25:41the way I see it you have two options option one I lock you in here for the
25:48rest of the semester and you go slowly insane trying to claw your way out
25:52ruining your nails and your smooth supple skin and we both know how they
25:56move option two you pledge your undying loyalty to me our first order of business
26:07is to escape this teenage purgatory of course I have a plan it begins now
26:38Dr. Kimber's office is on the second floor other nevermore students swear by
26:44her and you'll be waiting here until I'm done perhaps afterwards we can visit the
26:49weather fame for hot chocolate principal means this feeble attempt at bonding is
26:52beneath you and chauffeuring your students around is clearly below your pay
26:58grade given your history I'm sure your intent on running away I'm here to
27:05prevent that from happening I wish you luck I read the notes from your school
27:15counselor mrs. Bronstein she had a nervous breakdown after a last session
27:18how to take a six-month sabbatical go ahead and take a seat how did you feel
27:25about that vindicated but someone who crochets for a hobby isn't a worthy
27:29adversary adversary I hope we can forge a relationship based on trust and mutual
27:34respect this is a safe space Wednesday a sanctuary where we can discuss anything
27:39what you're thinking feeling your views on the world personal philosophy that's
27:44easy I think that this is a waste of time I see the world as a place that
27:48must be endured and my personal philosophy is kill or be killed so for
27:52instance when someone bullies your brother your response is to dump piranha
27:55in the pool you know the old saying never bring a knife to a sword fight
27:59unless it's concealed the point is you assaulted a boy and showed no remorse
28:03for your actions that's why you're here he lost a testicle I did the world a
28:08favor people like Dalton shouldn't be allowed to procreate I've answered all
28:11your questions we're not done yet
28:16therapy is a valuable tool to help you understand yourself it can teach you new
28:21ways to deal with your emotions it can also help you build a life that you want
28:24I know the life that I want tell me about it everything said in these
28:30sessions is strictly confidential
28:33do your plans involve becoming an author I understand you've written three novels
28:38about a teen girl detective Viper didn't wear tape can you tell me about her
28:42ever smart perceptive chronically misunderstood any luck getting your work
28:46published editors are short-sighted fear-based life forms one wants to
28:52describe my writing this gratuitously morbid and suggested I seek psychiatric
28:55help ironic isn't it how did you take that I sent her a thank-you I've always
29:10been open to constructive criticism I'm glad to hear that because I was sent the
29:15manuscripts as part of your psych evaluation the relationship I found most
29:18intriguing was that of Viper and her mother Dominica why don't we dig into
29:23that Wednesday part of this journey requires us going to uncomfortable
29:29places emotional I don't travel well would you mind if I use the powder room
29:34first
29:45okay is everything okay you can't hide in there for the rest of the session I'm
29:52preparing myself for our uncomfortable journey
30:22Oh

30:58hobby no good or never more didn't realize it
31:03changed up the uniform I need a quad over ice it's an emergency it's four
31:08shots of espresso yeah I know what a quad is but I mean spoiler alert the
31:12espresso machines having a seizure so all we have is drip but drip is for
31:16people who hate themselves and other lives have no real purpose or meaning
