The phone ringing was the only thing you heard as you paced in your dorm.

Last year had been crazy, but at least it was over. Or, at least you thought it was. You had heard Wednesday talking to Enid about... something? You didn't know and didn't care. You knew nothing good came about when that Addams girl was involved.
