'Why is she with him? Why do you care?'
When you returned to Nevermore not many students are out and about considering the ungodly hour that it was, so you just keep your head down and make your way swiftly to your bedroom.
You only falter for a moment outside Wednesday and Enids room, considering your options. At best you want to know if Wednesday had returned but to press your ear against the door and listen would A. Be a huge violation of privacy plus stalking making you a hypocrite once again. And B. You would probably get caught by the apparent blood hound that resides within Enid, as she said yesterday you have a scent (Although faint) so she can literally smell you out here and track you down if necessary.
Trust you to befriend the two most dangerous people in Nevermore. The tracker and the stalker, what an amazing combo. You sigh at the door, pushing your thoughts away and returning to your room to unpack.
Once unpacked, you shower and get dressed almost in auto pilot mode. You didn't mind the shared showers especially since It was early and almost unoccupied and you quite enjoyed how nice you looked in a uniform. You pick up your schedule, take one last look in the mirror and head out the door.
As you wonder the halls rather cluelessly, you should be focused on school, new lessons, new faces, new teachers and the fact you actually get to have a fucking life for once. But again this is easier said then done when all you can think about is Wednesday and Enid. Your thoughts a plagued by nothing but images of them, how you were going to talk to them, How they would react. God you just wanted to be with them, close enough to reach out and touch them, longing to feel what that vision had teased you with.
Yet you also feared seeing, talking and touching them a great deal. Because this can only get worse. This can go so SO wrong... But God you knew you wouldn't be able to stay away from them
"You lost?" you're dragged from your thoughts mercilessly and forced into conversation with...
Oh god not this guy again.
"umm yeah I'm looking for room 211" you answer him, inspecting the paper in front of you.
"Mad Science huh, that's my first class too I can take you if you want" Xavier smiles reaching for your schedule and taking it from your grasp. A little rude but you were lost so thank god someone took pity on you.
"Sure why not" you reply and he motions for you to follow.
Walking to class was uneventful he asked how your first day was going and tries to discuss your schedule but you're too pre occupied and barley have the energy to reply with much else other than one word answers.
Finally you reach the door but as you reach for the handle he stops you
"Hey are you okay?" he asks, worry evident in his tone.
"Yeah" you shrug hoping he will drop the topic. It's not like you could tell him, you barely know the guy and you were still a little unsure of him plus this is not something you discuss the 2nd time you meet someone. Sticking to being closed off and unsocial ... As usual.
"Okay well I can tell you're lying what's up? " he asks again, still softly but with a bit more urgency in his tone. Why does he care? Just walk me to class and leave it be, we ain't that close damn.
"Xavier I'm sure you have good intentions but I'm just a little overwhelmed, Nevermore is crazy" is all you say hoping this was enough for him to finally drop it and permit you entry to the classroom.
He seems to understand and reaches to open the door for you and you graciously accept walking through. He also pipes up "Also you don't have to tell me this place is crazy on my first day I was attacked" he says casually as if trying to break the awkwardness
"Attacked?" he peaks your interest, so good for him and you look behind you as he walks through the door"
"Hell yeah but don't worry I fought back and honestly that goose had it coming" he smiles waiting for you to process what he has said
"Goose as in the bird?" you question, hoping this wasn't a weird kind of outcast you had never heard of.
"Hey they're scary little fuckers when they wanna be almost pecked my eyes out" he chuckles and this actually got you a little bit.
You turn your back to him laughing at the funny thought of this lanky boy being out witted by a bloody goose and you hear him chuckle behind you again
As you look up, you scan the room at the array of students all chatting and messing around as the teacher was yet to appear. Experiments bubbling in the background, people throwing shit, laughing or deep in conversation and your smile remains plastered across your face as you take in the environment around you. Freedom. You're at school. A real school with real people, real opportunities and endless possibilities.
It's insane to think you can't wait for this. The only thing that causes your smile to waver is when your eyes land on them. Those 2 beautiful fucking girls who have caused you to internally battle your feelings consistently for 24 agonisingly long fun hours.
At first you expected suspicion from the girls still but instead you're met with... annoyance? you think as they stare at you in disbelief. You give them a confused look, Enid staring at you with... Anger? You thought they forgave you, what did Wednesday tell her? Did you say something wrong in the woods this morning? What could have happened in 2 hours?!
You cast your gaze from the pretty wolf to the captivating seer and notice she is no longer looking at you and instead she has her signature death stare situated on a certain tall, artist who you entered the room with.
When you look back at Xavier he's also throwing a somewhat heinous look towards the raven haired girl. Are they like enemies or something what the hell. You look back at the girls and they are now both staring at him with one of the dirtiest looks you'd ever seen.
Suddenly you feel a hand on your shoulder and almost instantly Wednesday stands upon seeing the contact, not making another move but standing firm, threatening and your breath catches in your throat awaiting the impending tension break.
You're too stunned to move shooting Wednesday another confused look and almost moving towards her. You don't look at Xavier or acknowledge him at first but then your mind races. He's touching you... Without permission. Lucky he doesn't touch skin otherwise the boy would meet the same fate others before him have not survived.
"Hey" Xavier's breath hits your ear and you wince at first not comfortable with the contact. Your eyes still haven't left the two, your expression softens when Enid follows Wednesday lead once seeing Xavier's face so close to yours. You shrug him off never breaking eye contact with the blonde, something in you churns and the only thing on your mind is how this seems to be affecting the beautiful blondes usual happy facial expressions. This irritates you immensely, you don't want to be the cause of her discomfort.
You turn aggressively to the boy and he stutters "s-sorry" and you just look at him not sure how to react, eyes wide contemplating your next move. "Sit with me? " he whispers, side eyeing the duo and looking down in awkwardness, why does he seem harmless, like a lost child begging for his mother's return
"Uhhh..." you slightly turn your head back to Enid and Wednesday who are both still stood at their desks, one hand perched on the surface, the other holding each other's.... still fucking staring. They seemed to be completely focused on this interaction and you scan their features. The blonde looked scared, lightly shaking her head at you, wide eyes as if trying to communicate with you and her multicoloured claws clearly protruding from her fingertips. The darker haired girl never changed her expression, still wide-eyed but more like she was trying to murder you with her eyes.
What do you do? Why is this such a big deal? There's definitely a story here but what do you do?
Go and sit by yourself and isolate the one person who has spoken to you or do you...
"please" he pulls you from your gaze with the power couple of Nevermore and you blink harshly.
"OK" is all you say giving in stupidly and he smiles, looking back at the girls, you can't see his face but your sure it wasn't a comforting look. But then he focuses on you and motions for you to follow him which unfortunately you do
"Y/N" you hear Enid call your name but before you have the chance to look back a voice booms through the classroom
"Right! Take your seats please!" as the teacher enters the room and everyone scatters so you trail Xavier and take a seat reluctantly beside him.
You didn't listen to a single word the teacher said, your brain almost overloaded with confusion and spinning with a thousand thoughts once again. What the fuck just happened??
Xavier smiles at you like that entire ordeal didn't happen and pulls out a notepad looking up to listen to the lesson, meanwhile you just stare blankly at the front.
The entire lessons goes by in a blur. You can feel eyes on you, drilling into the back of your head, it literally makes you squirm in terror. Every time you look over to Wednesday and Enid, the latter of the 2 is doing her work but occasionally side-eyeing you and she looks uncomfortably unsettled. Whilst the former hasn't taken her eyes of you for a second, her cold stare bringing about the familiar feeling from when you frantically slapped her Girlfriend.
Fuck this is gonna be a long day, you look away and put your head in your hands, ignoring everyone. The couple, the boy and the teacher all fading into the background as you block out the entire room and let time spill over.
Finally the bell rings and in an attempt to avoid any unnecessary drama or attention you practically flee the scene, the first one out the door which no doubt raised some eyebrows but honestly you didn't care you needed to leave. Running seems to be a bad habit if yours.
Once round the corner you check your schedule and attempt to find your next class, praying noone you knew would be waiting for you there.
"OMG Wednesday don't look now" Enid squeaks out almost startling Wednesday from thoughts as she looks up to see you walking through the door with that pest!
"Well this is concerning" Wednesday deadpans staring at Y/N and then death staring Xavier.
"She laughing why is she laughing?" Enid spoke, jealously dripping from her voice like water from an icicle in the morning sun.
"I assume he said something funny" Wednesday spoke, her own jealously less evident but subtly coaxed in slight rage as she continues "Strange since that rodent is neither amusing nor good company for them" Enid looks at Wednesday.
"I agree, what do we do" Enid whispers, a panicked expression covering her face. They both catch Y/N's eye but are too stunned to say anything.
Wednesday and Enid return to the conversation this time telepathically, not changing their everlasting gaze upon their new found project.
'She's looking at us what do we do?" Enid seems more flustered than usual, she had been anticipating talking to Y/N but hadn't once considered that more problems would arise before then.
Wednesday catches Xavier's eye and watches as he smirks at her stupidly then they both return to having A death stare match across the classroom.
"Calm down pup, it is a possibility that she has just entertained his joke let's not rush to...'
Wednesday's thought is cut short as she watching Xavier touch Y/N and lean down
She hears Enid scream in her own head 'Get your grubby little hands off-' again cut short as Wednesday stands, the chair screeching, her girlfriends ghoulish gaze turning to one of pure anger...now he's asking for it.
Wednesday has an eternal battle as Enid flits her eyes to her overprotective girlfriend a flicker of lust in her eyes before returning to the problem at hand.
They are looking at both Enid and Wednesday neither girl knowing what their next move is going to be.
'Wednesday calm down we can't do anything we are in class' Enid tries to reason with Wednesday, knowing last time she had that look in her eye, the blonde ended up visiting her in Jericho jail for the next 2 days.
"To lucifers he'll with class's he-" Wednesday starts
As they watch Xavier whisper in Y/N's ear, a closeness neither of them were comfortable with for whatever reason Enid rises from her seat in a similar fashion, mirroring Wednesdays action and completely willing to spend the night in jail alongside her beloved.
"Kill!" she growled under her breath and Wednesday has to harshly force herself not to look at Enid. Instead she raises her hand to lightly caress her girlfriends now clawed hand and sends a thought to her.
"As arousing as it is to hear you like this Cucculio, we need to settle, look... she seems uncomfortable with him too' Wednesday takes a moment to breathe, trying to focus on Y/N as well as her Girlfriend. This way, after assessing the situation, she could take the time to calm Enid down, regardless of her own rage.
'She might just be uncomfortable because we haven't stopped watching her' Enid says a low growl still escaping her lips, causing Wednesdays attention to falter as she finally ripped her gaze away from Y/N to lovingly look at her little wolf instead.
The she remembers Y/N is about to be stolen by a vile bean pole and turns back.
'I don't intend to stop do you?' she asks her girlfriend.
'No' Enid replies sternly, this was important they needed to convey the message of danger to Y/N
'She's following him!' Enid's attention is diverted and she can't help but yell
"Y/N" She is unable to control herself, desperately trying to get Y/N away from the boy. But just at that moment the teacher rudely interrupts them. The girls take one last look at Y/N and are only met with a confused look in return once again.
As the class goes on Wednesday and Enid speak in hushed tones.
"Why is she with him Wednesday?" She whispers, a hint of worry but mostly annoyance coating her tone.
"Why do you care so much Enid?" Wednesday asks. She cared too and she didn't know why but she also needed more of an idea on how Enid felt. And everybody knows feelings were not Wednesday strong suit unless it came to Enid... So why did Y/N confuse her feelings like this and why was it that her beloved also seemed to share this turmoil?
"Why do you?" Enid smirked back at her, a playful accusatory tone pairing nicely with the question.
Wednesday ignored the question and instead interlocked their fingers in an attempt to comfort herself aswell as Enid.
"Relax Wens I'm just teasing " Wednesday does slightly relax at this but she still felt uneasy. It had been no less than 24 hours and her perfectly balanced life had suddenly tipped, and yet being off-balance didn't completely put off the Seer. Interesting.
"Still, you didn't answer my question"
"And you didn't answer mine" Wednesday smirks, both girls practically feeling the same thing and expressing it rather elusively and with caution.
"I am not as good at expressing my feelings as you are, I don't want to cause you any pain Enid" Wednesday suddenly speaks aloud, she didn't mean too in fact it unnerved her greatly to find out her voice would betray her brain so easily.
"You could never, you're my beautiful girlfriend... Mine... Nothing will change that" Enid scans the room and again meets Y/N's eye "But maybe this isn't the time or place to have this conversation" the werewolf whimpers a little at the thought of having to put a pin in what could very well be a life changing conversation.
"I agree public displays of emotions are not in my nature mi amore, this is almost as bad as the time you admitted your feelings for me" Wednesday makes the distinction and doesn't really grasp the insinuation of what she has said. This confirmed it enough for Enid at this present moment and so she felt safe to admit it too but instead she just asked
'So what do we do baby?' back in her head again, holding her girlfriend's hand and running her thumb softly across her knuckles.
"It's okay my dear, we will be meeting Y/N for lunch today I intend to elicit some answers from her, it would seem that for now my first line of questioning will be focused on why she is entertaining the likes of that Xavier' Wednesday assures the blonde, determined and unfazed rather suddenly. How Enid loved it when Wednesday was assertive and ready to run through fire for her. Then it dawns on the girl, they're meeting for lunch, definitely something to look forward too
'ooo a lunch date with her, should be interesting' Enid teases the word to observe Wednesdays response and is thrilled to see a flash of hope in her girlfriend's eye.
Both girls trail their eyes back, staring at Y/N 's as they spoke again.
'You are focusing on the wrong detail Enid we will finally be getting some answers' Wednesday tries to revere the conversation to a safer place.
'Sorry you're right' Enid locks into the task at hand.
'Never be sorry Cara Mia, only remain focused, I too am thrilled for this... Date as you called it' They both smirk at each other knowingly, before again returning their eyes to Y/N
"Remember what I informed you of this morning? " Wednesday asks aloud, casting her memory back to the conversation
"Of course baby" the werewolf replies, a twinge of excitement in her tone.
Wednesday and Enid had discussed at length the events of the day/night before and had weirdly agreed that the situation with Y/N whatever that was must not be ignored and instead they would pursue whatever the universe had decided for them.
It was a brief discussion but both girls felt better knowing this was not something that would throw a wrench into their perfect relationship and although they anticipated a lot of emotions and hurdles they had already agreed to discuss further later, on their own date night.
'We will also get answers for this don't threat my beautiful wolf' Wednesday beamed darkly, using her fingertips to Enid's chin to pull her towards her and plant a small discreet kiss on her lips.
'I'm looking forward to it" the blonde smiles deviantly and then both girls return their terrifyingly beautiful eyes towards Y/N once again. It seemed neither were willing to let this go.
Thankfully your next class does not have any familiar faces and although mathematics, is not your favourite you found yourself enjoying some peace away from the unknown tensions during your science class.
The lesson was proving to be uneventful besides meeting A vampire girl named Yoko, who asked you if you needed help
"Do I look THAT confused?" You say with nervous laughter, expecting her to say no.
"Yes." she replied simply almost as deadpanned as a certain Seer who sends you spiralling. Shaking Wednesday off your mind you chuckled pointing out the equation you were stuck on.
After explaining you thanked her and you thought that would be the end of it.
"No worries, what's your name anyway, clearly your new" she smiles and you get a flash of her fangs. As if the sunglasses and pale glow wasn't enough, the fangs definitely confirmed she was a vamp.
"Y/N you" is all you say quickly averting your eyes from her fangs so she didn't think you were being judgemental or something.
"Nice to meet you thank you for your help" the conversation was normal, robotic just so very generic you almost felt like bursting for joy that you were having a very mundane interaction for once.
"No problem surprised I don't know anything about you to be honest, my best friend Enid is the school gossip thought she would have said something" Yoko giggles a little but your face drops. No way. "Enid as in" you make fake ears with your fingers above your head "werewolf Enid?" You ask "Bubbly blonde, rainbow central, girlfriend of the terrifying Wednesday Addams" you blurt out before your brain has time to catch up to your mouth. "Yeah Enid Sinclair" she gives you a weird look and then continues "And don't even get me started on Wednesday" she breathes out, shaking her head as if remembering something traumatic For fuck sake! You can't get away from these girls their everywhere! How is the first normal person you interact with besties with Enid fucking Sinclair!.
"So you've met?" Yoko asks once returning from her thoughts.
"Hmm wonder why she hasn't told me about you"
"Well there's not much to tell" you shrug trying to act casual "plus I only got here yesterday.
"Oh trust me honey" Yoko let ls out a HA which makes you jump "Usually when there's fresh blood, Enid would be on the group chat spilling all the deets on you" she smiles as if this shouldn't give you an uneasy feeling. Nothing quite permanently in your brain that Enid may not be the best person to share your gift with.
"Haha" you try to play it cool "It was a very short interaction" you lie, forcing yourself to seem unfazed by the fact that the werewolf girl could literally expose you in a second if she wanted too.
"Doesn't matter, the second that wolf gets a whiff of fresh meat she's all over social media searching for the inside scoop, it's why she has the go-to blog for all things new at Nevermore" Yoko takes out her phone and scrolls through the blog watching you as you scan through the endless articles.
"Is that a phone I see" the teachers voice settles on your ears and Yoko quickly hides the phone in her blazer smiling innocently back at the annoyed man.
He just scoffs and says "Back to work please ladies" and so you do just that. Your brain now ripe with thoughts of Enid telling everyone at Nevermore what you are, how dangerous you can be and securing your place as an outcast of outcasts.
The thought made you sick to your stomach, you swallow hard to battle the acid that was making it way up your throat and then return to the endless pile of numbers glancing up at you from the page.
To say you were not looking forward to lunch was a gross understatement.
