Or under a bed or in one of the desk drawers. “Drive some nails into the wall and hide it behind a poster between our beds?” “What…what are we going to do with that?” Wirt slowly sunk down onto his bed even as Toby crossed the floor to lock the door behind Wendy. Give it three weeks, and then it’ll get to her.” She unlocked the door and tossed a two-fingered salute at them over her shoulder. Sorry I’ve gotta cut and run, but I’m gonna be late for a library study session with my grade-obsessed roomie. “In the meantime, find a good hiding spot. “I’ll be the judge of that on Saturday.” Wendy hopped off the desk. “I’d be way better in a fight.”Įven Jazz had weapons? That weren’t Wendy’s? He’d only met her for a few minutes when Toby had introduced him to Wendy, barely remembered what she looked like beyond the red hair, but she’d seemed nice. “Oh, come on, don’t lump me in with him,” Toby said, jabbing a thumb in Wirt’s direction. She just doesn’t know how to hide her weapons. She might not look it, but that girl can handle herself. We’ll go out to the country for practice, just the three of us.” “I don’t think zombies are what we need to worry about.” “Neither of you look like you could survive the apocalypse, okay? I just want to make sure my friends are safe if it happens.” “I mean, I’ve already gotten a bunch of readings and assignments-” “I…I don’t know if I really need to,” Wirt said slowly. Why had they involved him? This would make him an accomplice! Could he even report this without getting into trouble?ĭid he want to risk it when his roommate had a hatchet and figured he already knew how to throw it? When he had a friend who definitely did know how to throw it? He had no idea how he’d even gotten to be a part of this. “Wirt’s the one who’ll need to figure out the balance when throwing.” “Eh, I figure I’ll pick it up quick,” Toby said with a smirk. “It’ll take you a while to get the hang of it.” “I’ll teach you guys how to throw it this weekend,” Wendy said. I’d be disowned if I couldn’t pick out the best of the bunch.” You met my family on moving day, Domzalski. Maybe he could ask for a room reassignment. Toby picked up the hatchet and examined it. Maybe he’d accidentally ended up bunking with a psychopath. Wendy stuck her tongue out at him before popping the gum into her mouth. “He’s not technically wrong, though,” Toby said. Which means it’s smaller and lighter than what you’re thinking of.” She was perched on Toby’s desk, already reaching into her pocket for a stick of gum. He knew the door was closed, knew it was locked, knew no one could possibly walk in on them, but he managed to tear his eyes off the axe just long enough to check again anyway. “That’s…that’s an actual axe,” Wirt said. It had been a crash course, but he’d learned the ropes.īut that was before Toby’s friend Wendy ‘straight out of the wilds of Oregon’ Corduroy had smuggled an axe into their dorm room. Frankly, he was lucky that Toby had taken pity on him and given him the rundown on the best places on campus to get food and caffeine, not to mention showing him a couple of underground shortcuts he hadn’t even realized existed. Sometimes, he thought it was lucky he’d managed to make it to class on time, especially since he’d already gotten lost in the basement of the chemistry building looking for the place his biology lab would be held next week. Some classes had given general overviews for their first lecture, and the others had jumped right into it and he felt like he was already scrambling to catch up. He’d already learned not to believe everything that came out of his roommate Toby’s mouth, just as he’d learned that he was to call Toby’s grandmother Nana whenever Toby honoured her request to drag him down for a weekend visit so she could get to know him. (He still had a couple of boxes on his desk to unpack.) He’d heard plenty of crazy stories, but that was to be expected. His first week on campus, really, as he’d only moved in the day before term began. Written into a full story for Happy New Year, everyone! Hi, folks if this looks familiar, it’s because it originated from a fic title ask–albeit now it’s expanded to a fourth fandom, which will become more important in the second part. Wirt had heard a lot of stories about college, but somehow, he still wasn’t prepared for one of his roommate’s crazy friends to smuggle a hatchet into their dorm room.
