The whole snarky Goth girl thing might have worked at normie school.

Let me give you a wiki on Nevermore's social scene.

I'm not interested in participating in tribal adolescent clichés.

Then use it to fill your obviously bottomless pit of disdain.

But the four main cliques are Fangs, Furs, Stoners, and Scales.

That bunch of knuckleheads are Furs, AKA werewolves.

That's when Furs, like, wolf out.

Although her crown has been slipping lately.

She used to date our resident tortured artist, Xavier Thorpe.

My vlog is, like, the number one source for Nevermore gossip.

You're not going to believe the dirt I heard about your new roommate.

You (had) better watch your back.

I actually fillet the bodies of my victims, then feed them to my menagerie of pets.

You know, it's a small school, and there wasn't much online about you.

Oh, you know, you should really get on Insta, Snapchat, and TikTok.

I find social media to be a soul-sucking void of meaningless affirmation.

1. Nevermore has four main cliques. Werewolves are Furs. Vampires are Fangs. Sirens are Scales. Gorgons are Stoners. Can you explain the meaning of each clique's name?
2. Stoners has a double meaning in this TV show. Can you explain both meanings?
3. Which clique would you want to be part of? Why?
4. Bianca is a siren. She can control people with her voice. Xavier can make his painting come to life. Why do you think they broke up? Be creative.
5. What rumor has Ajax heard about Wednesday? Is it true? What does Wednesday tell him? Why?
6. Were you in a clique in high school? Middle school? Were you:
   
   • a jock (into sports)
   • a preppy (rich family, expensive clothes, want to be popular)
   • a stoner (into drugs)
   • a nerd (study a lot)
   • a goth (wear all black, dye your hair dark)
   • a socialite (into parties, socializing)
   • an outsider / a loner
   • something else?

7. Wednesday calls social media a "soul-sucking void of meaningless affirmation." What does she mean? Do you agree with her?
8. What social media do you use? What social media do you avoid? Why?
