Despite the break from the classes for all of the students the heretic found it in herself to organize her classroom a little. It wasn’t large, but she didn’t mind the size of the room. She only wanted to put some of her magical objects and books on the shelves. She’d been working for nearly two hours when she emptied a box by placing a few spell books in her desk. 

If Penelope were to actually admit how much she cared about people other than Josie than she’d probably say she was hurt. However, she normally brushed things off and kept up a thick skin. So as she wandered through the school she came across a familiar sight. The witch couldn’t help but smirk before just smiling as she made her way over to him. “Hey, Orion,” she stopped in front of him. 

“Yes, I’m giving it to you Serena,” she handed the goth girl the black hat. She’d seen it while visiting her family that she decided it could be a nice gift for the girl with the goth coven. After the girl walked off with the hat a grin spread across her lips before she turned around and nearly bumped into someone. “Well, hello.”

“Hey, Jojo. I was wondering when I’d run into you once I arrived back,” she spoke as she knocked on the girl’s door. Thankfully her twin wasn’t around and they could actually have a somewhat proper conversation. However, with what her friend had just told her the pair of them had a lot to talk about. “You look extra cute today too, by the way.”

Oh great, she thought to herself as she wiped the rest of the blood from her face. Despite the school’s rules of animal blood she chose to feed on human blood but with her own supply instead. However, when she felt the presence of the other approach her she’d been glad to have finished her meal. “You know, if you’re hoping to get that picture back, I already returned it to its rightful owner.” 

Penelope was greeting some of her fellow students that had returned when she suddenly saw a face she didn’t recognize. The witch waved off one of her friends before making her way over to the other girl. “So, how long have you been around the area? Because you’re definitely a new face for me.”

Valerie wasn’t really looking for anything in particular, or at least that’s what she now believed. She was certain she’d been looking for something but once she felt the other’s presence her focus went to them. The heretic turned around to face them, her brows rising up a little, “Can I help you?”
