Chapter 6 Summary: “Definitely Evil”

On the first day of class, Agatha goes through the secret passageway in her ceiling tile again. She jumps into the lake portal to the bridge and bumps into the barrier. She sees her reflection in the barrier, which tells her, “Good with Good, / Evil with Evil, / Back to your tower before there’s upheaval” (97). Agatha realizes she must act like she is evil, so she tells the barrier reflection she’s ugly. The barrier lets her through, and Agatha sneaks through the School for Evil to find Sophie and go home. The wolves track Agatha to the Gallery of Evil, chase her to the attic roof, and retreat. Agatha escapes the gargoyle on the roof by jumping into his mouth, through his body, and landing in an open window. When she finds Sophie’s room, Sophie is unsurprised to see her. She insists they trade clothes and schools, but Agatha pleads to go home. Sophie’s roommates tackle Agatha and switch their clothes. Sophie leaves, but Agatha chases her through a wall portal to the bridge. Sophie blathers about Tedros and how they can still be friends. As Sophie enters the barrier between the schools, the girls’ clothes magically change back to reflect their assigned schools.
