Wednesday: The Strongest Psychic

Chapter 9: Talk with Larissa

Chapter 9: Talk with LarissaLuke was currently in Principal Weems' office having tea. In the office near the entrance is a large bear by the door. The director's desk is located in front of large windows. There is also a large fireplace with a gorgon face opening its mouth. Since it is summer the fireplace is not lit.

There were many lamps and dim lighting. Larissa was sitting in a large leather chair with wheels, and on the other side of the desk sat Luke sipping the delicious tea.

"I know you must have a lot of questions, but let me get started if it's not too much trouble," Larissa said, looking at Luke, who nodded. He didn't mind too much. He didn't have that many questions about his parents either.

Edgar had already told her everything he needed to know. He may even know more than Larissa, who was unaware of their existence.

"What is the name of your orphanage, and what is its location?" asked Larissa as she opened her MacBook.

"Orphanage Always Happy in Boston, Massachusetts," Luke replied.

'Boston...? How is that possible? The Poe house is located there,' thought Larissa with surprise as she began to Google the orphanage.

Larissa continued to ask, and Luke answered while sipping tea and some nice cookies. He didn't think it was a bad deal to give up his personal information for free food.

Anyway, this information didn't matter much anymore. According to Edgar, even if Larissa knows he ran away from his orphanage and was expelled from three schools she will help him because he is an outcast and was friends with his mother.

"Who knew that Larissa's brat is now the principal of Nevermore Academy. Time flies," Edgar said in surprise as he watched Larissa use her MacBook.

Luke didn't respond. He guessed that Edgar while training his father met Larissa, who was a friend of his mother.

'There's nothing... There's no record not at the orphanage, not at the previous schools he went to. Not even the one where he was expelled,' Larissa thought with a frown. She had done some quick re

This lack of knowledge can also lead to misunderstanding and prejudice when the two groups interact, as ignorance can breed fear and mistrust. So, there is always tension between the two

groups.

Someone who sees two outcasts talking about werewolves the moon and things like that, would see them as weirdos, rather than thinking that they are werewolves.

"I understand. Registration isn't open yet, but I'll take care of the paperwork. Don't worry about that. As for you running away from the orphanage, I will contact them and make the necessary arrangements so you can stay here without any problems," said Larissa.

'So easy?' thought Luke in surprise. It seems his mother's relationship with Larissa was very good. How Edgar knew Larissa from his parents' school days, he knew the headmistress

wasn't lying.

"Sorry for the inconvenience. Another thing, now that I'll be living here in Jericho. I'll need a place to stay, and for that, I'll need money. Can you recommend any jobs?" asked Luke hopefully. With his meager savings, he would not be able to afford a mortgage on real estate. Since Larissa was the director, she seemed to have a lot of connections, in the series he remembered she seemed to have a lot of money. Maybe he'll find a high-paying job because

of her.

Before Larissa could answer someone knocked on the door.

Knock, knock.

"Come in," said Larissa, raising her voice.

The door was opened, and Luke saw the bald man named Willie.

"What is it?" asked Larissa impatiently.

"A person is waiting. She wants to talk to you. She says it has to do with the brat," replied

Willie. It was strange that on a summer vacation day, they should have two visitors. Larissa at first would have told Willie that she couldn't at this time and the person had to make an appointment before showing up at school, but upon hearing that it was Luke she told Willie to have that person come in.

Luke didn't have a good feeling about this. What person in this world would seek him out? There was only one option. And it was the right one. The person who walked in was a middle- aged woman with black hair and some gray hair. Luke recognized her within seconds. 'How did she find me so quickly?' Luke thought, looking at the woman who was Bethany Miller. The orphanage caretaker who took care of Luke and the other children.
