Chapter Text
After leaving Nevermore Academy the prior year, Xavier Thorpe hadn't heard much from Wednesday Addams; However, his best friend Ajax Petropolus occasionally sent him updates about what was going on at the school. But... when Nevermore officially shut down, it was a little more than a shock to Xavier. For some reason unbeknownst to him, Ajax hadn't said a word about it.
The news headlines were vague, much vaguer than the artist would've liked. His father, Vincent Thorpe, was haughtily excited about the school's closing given the reason he withdrew his son from the academy, but his reaction only egged his son on to wanting to figure out what happened.
Xavier sat in the car on his way back to his family's house for the summer, staring in desperate confusion at the headline 'Nevermore Academy closes for good.'
Impatiently refusing to wait another minute to understand what had gone down in the two semesters he'd been gone, he sent a quick text to his buddy Ajax.
Xavier:
Hello?? How could you not tell me the school's permanently closing
Ajax:
...
Xavier shook his head as a frustrated sigh escaped his lips as he awaited Ajax's response.
Ajax:
Sorry man, the past few days have been a mess
Lots went down with Dort and Wednesday's family too
Xavier inhaled a sharp breath. What was happening with the Addams? Was Wednesday okay?
Xavier:
Shit
Is everyone okay? What happened?
Ajax:
Enid's gone. Turns out she's an alpha,
and Wednesday and her uncle have gone to look for her
Xavier:
Dude?? How could you not tell me this
So Wednesday and her cooky uncle are just out and about now
and Enid's an ALPHA??
That's some insane stuff to deal with
Ajax:
I know. It just hope she's okay, man
Turns out Bruno was cheating on her the whole time-
and now this? Can't imagine how hard it is
Xavier:
Yeah, it's gotta be a lonely road
I'm glad Wednesday's going after her
Ajax:
Me too
I want to try to help her, but the only
way I'm even keeping in contact is by
one of her friends named Agnes
Xavier:
The girl who wouldn't leave her alone?
Ajax:
Yeah, I think they've gotten closer after everything
that's happened lately though
She's helping look for Enid best she can
Xavier:
...
He sat staring at his phone for a solid two minutes before fully thinking his way through things. He wanted to help just as much, if not more. He might not still go to the same school as Wednesday, but their friendship hadn't just dissipated in the last year... or, at least, that's what he hoped.
Xavier:
Could I possibly have this Agnes's number?
Ajax:
Trying to get in contact with Wednesday? ;)
Xavier:
You know me too well, man
Ajax:
Sending it now
Good luck - and PLEASE lemme know
whenever you have updates on Enid
