That's New

Wednesday's POV

I wake up earlier than normal, I look at my clock and see it's 5 am. It's Sunday, why am I up this early. I get out of bed and changed into daytime clothes. Simple black jeans with a black and white striped sweater.

Enid is still fast asleep. I quietly grab my bag and head out of the dorm. I walk to the library to do some more research about feelings. I need to understand them more to understand what I'm experiencing.

I pick out all of the psychological books on this gross thing called love and feelings. Just holding these books makes me want a bullet to the head. I vowed to never end up in this position. That damn wolf.

It feels like I've been reading for hours about the same subject. The books have all indicated the feeling I get in my stomach is called "butterflies". I like the term spiders but whatever. Apparently when my face feels like it's on fire I'm just blushing? One book in particular said "You know you're in love when all you do is think about that person and you immediately feel at ease when you're around them. You can't imagine life without them in it". So I'm in love with my wolf roommate? Great.

I put all the books back and decided to walk to Jericho. It's about 9 am now so the stores should be opening up by the time I get there. I cannot be around Enid right now.

My first stop is the Weathervane for some coffee. I put my order in and take it to go. I decide to go to the library in town to see if they have any other books on the subject. I mean Nevermore has almost every book known to mankind there but it doesn't kill me to look at other resources.

I get to Jericho's public library and find the books I need and find a secluded table so I can research in peace. This time I got books about how to know if someone is interested in you. I got some real good insight.

I finally finish reading everything I needed to and I check the clock on the wall to see that it's almost 12. Enid is probably up now and is looking for me. I hope she doesn't think I'm mad at her or anything. I just don't want to be confused anymore. Maybe I should stop by a store and get her something. She can't be upset with me if I get her something she'll love. I walk out of the library and walk until I see a store that would sell stuff Enid would like. I come up to this store and it's nothing but pink and rainbows. Ew. What I'm looking at is like I just got bombed.

I enter the store and I see something that immediately catches my attention. On the back wall I see a big unicorn plushie. I walk over to it and pick it up. I need to dump a bottle of bleach on my hand when I'm done. I walk up to the counter to check out. $30 for this thing. It's for Enid so I guess I can't complain.

I make my way back to Nevermore and thankfully the store had solid white bags so no one would see me carry this abomination. After 15 minutes I get back to the school and I make my way to the dorm. I quietly open the door and I see Enid on her phone looking like she just got done crying.

"THERE YOU ARE!" Enid yells

"Yeah, I'm here" I respond looking at her

"It's almost 1 and I haven't seen you all day!" Enid says panicking

"I was in Jericho." I explain

"Leave notes so I don't think something happened to you." She says with tears in her eyes

"I got you this." I say handing Enid the bag.

She opens it and she starts to smile.

"Wednesday, what is this for?" Enid asks about to cry

"A gift to cheer you up for my absence today." I say

"Thank you, I love it." She says happily

"I figured you would." I say giving a slight smile

"Can I give you a hug?" She asks giving me her puppy eyes

"I suppose that would be okay." I say stepping closer

Enid wraps her arms around my waist and I wrap mine around her neck. We stay like this for a minute before Enid pulls away. Our faces now just inches apart.

"Thank you again Wens." Enid says with a smile.

"Are you hungry?" I ask

"Yes I'm starving!" She responds walking to get her shoes on.

Enid's POV

Wednesday and I walk to the cafeteria to get some lunch. I'm still so happy that she got me a gift. That's the nicest thing anyone has done for me. I just want to know what she was doing in Jericho for so long.

We sit at a table in the corner and eat our lunch.

"Can I ask you something?" I ask her

"You just did." Wednesday responds with a smirk.

"Omg Wednesday." I say rolling my eyes

"Ask away Sinclair." She says

"Why were you in Jericho and how long were you there?" I ask

"I went to the library there to do some more investigating, and I was there until 12." She explains.

"Investigating what exactly?" I ask raising an eyebrow

"You'll find out soon." She responds looking down at her plate.

"Okay." I say smiling.

We finish eating our lunch. I kinda just wanna have a chill day so I just want to sit in bed today. Wednesday follows me back to the dorm. I go to my bed and she goes to her desk and starts writing stuff in her notebook. I hope she's not planning a murder but knowing her, she probably is.

I scroll through social media for a bit. I text Yoko about what has happened between me and Wednesday yesterday and earlier today. I just need to make sure I'm not delusional. Granted, Yoko would just feed my delusions but she also has some great points.

The day goes by quickly as Wednesday is doing her own thing and I'm doing mine. I wonder if she'll watch a movie with me.

"Wens, do you wanna watch a movie with me?" I ask

Wednesday turns around from her desk to look at me.

"Horror and we watch it in my bed." She says

"Okay, but if I get scared you can't get mad." I say laughing

I get my laptop and I sit on Wednesday's bed. She sits next to me leaving some room in between us. Wednesday chooses this movie called "Nightmare on Elm Street." Sounds absolutely terrifying.

A jump scare happens and I grab onto Wednesday's arm and hide my face into her shoulder.

"You're a wolf and you're afraid of some blood?" Wednesday says

"Yes" I whimpering.

I face my laptop once the scary part was over. I leave my head on her shoulder and holding onto her arm. She doesn't seem to mind this. I think she secretly enjoys physical touch from me.

I start to feel my eyes get heavy, I'm definitely exhausted.

Wednesday's POV

The movie is about to end when I start to hear little snores coming from Enid. She fell asleep on my shoulder. I shut her laptop and quietly set it on the ground. I gently lay down with Enid still attached to my arm and got her to lay down with her head on my chest. I really don't mind Enid's touch. I know I'm safe with her.

I don't understand why I let Enid break my boundary. She's the only person who can be in close contact with me without getting a knife through their skull. I guess I do I have feelings for Enid.

Feelings for my colorful roommate. I never saw this coming.

Interesting.
