The School for Good and Evil (The School for Good and Evil, #1)

by Soman Chainani

“Right, because in the heat of battle, you’ll have time to run around naked and make your Goose crap,” Castor snarled.

No wonder princesses were so impotent in fairy tales, she thought. If all they could do was smile, stand straight, and speak to squirrels, then what choice did they have but to wait for a boy to rescue them?

Agatha wondered what these girls’ souls would wish for. Depth, perhaps.

They didn’t follow orders because they were loyal. They didn’t help princesses because they were loving. They did it because someday, maybe loyalty and love would be repaid with a second chance at being human.

“He was a boy! A little boy!” Agatha screamed. “He was Good!” Tedros landed in her face. “Now I know you’re a witch.”

“If you’re itching for something to kill, how about yourself this time?” Agatha spat.

Yuba announced, each student had to distinguish between a disguised Ever and Never by observing their behavior. Whoever correctly identified the Good student and the Evil student in the fastest time would receive first rank.

Tedros touched her black tunic. “Can’t flirt with you in this, can I?”

Stfu and die????

“For the first time in my life, I feel like someone understands me,”

YOU LIAR???? You literally said OH MH GOD JUST SHUT UPPPPPP

“Oooh! Ooh! Marry me, Tedros!” hissed Agatha. “At least I will get married!”

like our story,” Sophie said. “It hasn’t gotten to the part where your prince punches you,” said Agatha. “Homeward ho,” Sophie sulked.

All hail the Queen of Fools!” Beatrix proclaimed to roars. “Then you must be the Grand Empress.”

Nevers buried all alone.

“She found love.” But what about all those times she said “I love you” to his father? All the times she said it to him? Which love was real?

“It’s that mentally ill Sophie,” Beatrix snapped.

she is mentally ill

“My roommates say I’m 100% Evil,” Sophie said softly. “But you know the truth. I don’t know how to be Evil. Not even 1%.

look in a mirror 😭⁉️

“Makes me want to be the best villain I can be.”

finally embracing who you are

Just find an Ever, Tedros scolded himself. Find an Ever and forget all about her.

I stg if he chooses Agatha IM DONE

Sophie

“Leech, isn’t she? Thinks she’s brains to your beauty. Little did she know you have everything.” Sophie swallowed. “It’s true.”

DEFEND HER???

Castor coughed. “But what about—”

HUH???

“So I definitely can’t love,” Hort said. “Colder than you thought possible . . . Then say these words . . .” “But if I could love, I’d love you.”

hort noooo 😞 you deserve better bby

I’ve been beautiful all along.

Her entire character development in a nutshell

“She still loves you. And she’s still my friend.”

I NEED YOU TO STAND UP.

What’s happening to me! Why couldn’t she breathe around him? Why did she feel nauseous every time he looked at her? And why was he staring at her now like she was a . . . girl! Agatha stifled a scream.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

Tedros her true love?

GAG

It wasn’t their endings they shared in common. It was their beginnings. “They trusted their enemies,” Agatha said to her professor. “Yes, their fairy tales all started when they never expected it,”

Tedros smiled. “One . . . two . . . three . . .” She fainted in his arms. “Definitely a princess,” he said.

HE DOESNT GET TO DO THAT

“SHE’S A WITCH!” Sophie screamed. Slowly Tedros turned, his eyes cutting through her. “Look closer.”

this is the only time I can defend you

“If you fail, you become a slave for the opposite side,” Agatha said. “That’s the School Master’s punishment.”

A fairy

“Will you be my princess for the Ball?”

men never learn 😕

“Will you be my princess for the Ball?” “Yes!” Kiko screamed.

OMG MY GIRL FINALLY GOT HER HAPPY WNDING

Beatrix met him at the door. “Let’s sneak into Evil, Teddy! We’ll kill the witch together!” “Do as you’re told,” Tedros seethed, and shoved past her.

finally shes being put in her place

“Now Good comes to kill us all,” she retorted, holding up the black card. “Evil’s not attacking us! Sophie wants you to attack!”

THEY DONT LISTENNNN

“I won’t let you go.” “I’m the man here, not you!” “Then act like one!”

Are you really tho?? SIT DOWN.

“Tedros!” Agatha pounded on the candy door. “Tedros, she’ll kill you all!”

I hope she does, YALL are FAKE

“Let me guess,” Sophie smiled. “Our party has unexpected guests.”

***** *** ** * *****

I’m worse than my father.” Tedros looked up, eyes glistening. “Because I still love you.”

boo boo throw yourself a pity party

Our towers aren’t Fair and Lovely!” Agatha lambasted. “They’re Valor and Honor! That’s what Good is, you stupid cowards!”

“This was all a test, Sophie,” the School Master said. “A test to find my true love.” “Your true—me?” Sophie stammered. “But you’re Good and I’m Evil!” The School Master smiled. “Perhaps we should start there.”

I KNEW THEY WEREALL CRAZY
