She sat with them at lunch, and was introduced to Clawdeen, Ghoulia and Cleo. The normie and all of the ghouls shared an awkward silence at first, but soon enough that silence was broken once the topic of fashion began to come up.
"Oh my rah! No way, I love Chan-hell!" Cleo exclaimed.
"I know right? They're ah-may-zing!" Anna said.
While Cleo and Anna were ranting and raving about various designers, Clawdeen looked on over to Abbey. Once Clawdeen's gaze met Abbey's, Clawdeen discreetly pointed to the door of the cafeteria, signaling for Abbey to meet her there. The two of them met outside of the doors, and Clawdeen looked around to make sure nobody else was around them.
"Why you want to talk to me out here?" Abbey asked Clawdeen. Clawdeen swiftly placed her index finger over Abbey's mouth, signaling her to be quiet.
"Abbey, I could smell something...suspicious off of Anna, there were some strange smells coming from her backpack," Clawdeen whispered to Abbey, "She seems nice, but I dunno, be careful hun." Almost nothing could be snuck by a werewolf's nose, they had a canine's keen sense of smell.
"Like what smells?"
"I could smell marijuana in her backpack, it's stuff normies use to get high. I could also smell alcohol."
"So? She boring normie, she need stuff to have fun some times."
"Abbey, that stuff is bad news! Seriously, make sure you keep an eye on her, and don't get into anything."
Abbey just shrugged her shoulders, "Alright, will be full of care."
The two ghouls walked back into the cafeteria, and Heath was already at the table cracking some silly jokes to Anna and the rest of the girls. Anna's cheeks were a shade of dark pink as Heath told a dirty joke about three nuns who were confessing to the priest. Abbey and Clawdeen approached the table, and Heath put his arm over Abbey's shoulder.
"Hey Abbey, wanna come over to my house tomorrow? I got a new movie!"
"Can not do, am going back to village tomorrow," Abbey explained to Heath.
"Oh really, why?"
"Have to tell everybody in village what happen to Anton."
The entire lunch table went silent. Anton was an evil man, everybody could remember what happened very clearly. He had came from Abbey's village in the mountains to stalk her, and he even tried to kill her. Anton had Van Hellscream organize a ruthless militia to murder everybody in Monster High. Monster High had come out victorious in the end, but it still was not a very pleasant situation. It definitely wasn't something the school really liked to think about, the whole situation was frightening and traumatizing for everybody that was involved. The only plus side to this was that the students of Monster High were all very close now. Petty rivalries were mended, and monsters who once hated each other were now good friends. Friends were now closer than they were before, and once shallow monsters now had their priorities figured out. Fortunately, Abbey and Heath had ended up killing Anton towards the end of the battle, and their relationship was now stronger than ever before.
"Aw, they don't know yet, do they?" Heath glumly asked Abbey.
"They not know, I will tell them this weekend."
"Abbey, how about I go with you, and help you explain?" Heath offered
Everybody at the table except for Anna gasped. Abbey's home in the mountains was highly dangerous for non-Yeti monsters.
"No Heath, you stay. I can go on own."
"Ya sure baby?"
"Yes, do not worry about me."
Just as Anna opened her mouth to ask who the heck Anton was, all of the ghouls glanced at her and shook their heads no. Anna immediately kept her mouth shut.
That evening after dinner, Anna knocked on Abbey's bedroom door.
"Come in," Abbey's deep voice answered. Anna slowly walked into the room, and she saw that Abbey had all of her suitcases packed and ready to go.
"Hey Abbey, mind if I ask you something?"
"What?"
"Who is this Anton you were talking about?" The second Anna finished that sentence, she regretted asking.
Abbey let out a deep, heavy sigh. "Anna, I have to leave right now. Will tell you when I come back, yes?"
Anna looked down on the carpet floor in disappointment, she really wanted to know who Anton was. "When will you be back?"
"In 5 days, will tell you then."
"Okay," Anna agreed.
"Must go now, bye!" Abbey said. Abbey picked up her bags and hurried outside.
"It's Friday, so that means she'll be back Wednesday. GAH! I don't want to wait that long!" Anna thought to herself, frustrated. She thought for a moment that she was going to ask Abbey's friends about Anton, but then she figured that Abbey would be the best person to ask about him.
Anna packed up her weekend bag, said goodbye to Bloodgood, and went into her car. She really didn't want to go to back to Lorvale, but she needed to check up on her family. She was scared to death about what could possibly happen to them. The way her parents were so frightened that night, they seemed to know more than they let on. She was constantly worrying about her siblings. She could barely make it through a day at school, her worries about them consumed her. At least at Bloodgood's house, she could smoke a few joints of weed and try to forget about it all. She got in her car and drove off back to her hometown.
