Wednesday and you weren't exactly identical in personality, some would even dare to say you two were polar opposite, but it wasn't the full truth. You were... similar, however throughout the entirety of your lives, you seemed to be the more open one, the one who wouldn't mind physical touch with family, and the closest friends. Yet, despite things that defined the differences between you, you were still closed off, a façade built around, so hurting you would be harder.

When you arrived at the castle, the principal decided to split you, giving each of you a little space to breathe, after sixteen years of living together, and being attached by a hip. Then, you were told by your parents that you'd be the one living alone, which made your heart clutch.

"Tragic events occur, when twins are being separated" you uttered, arms crossed at the chest as you walked down the hallway, looking for a room that was assigned to you. "Don't say I haven't warned you"

The room wasn't like your sisters, you hadn't had an eccentric, colourful roommate that was willing to become friends with you – for the first time in your life, you were all alone, not sharing anything with anyone.

Later, you've learnt that Mrs. Weems assigned a boy to show you around the school, to provide you a, as she stated, fresh start with friends made, because of you, and not your sister. You were fast to notice that Xavier Thorpe was quite popular amongst the students, and when you walked around the castle with him, rumours were starting to spread like fire.

Well, at least he decided to stick up with your throughout the breaks, so you weren't bothered by people trying to get the reason of your arrival mid-semester. And after a few weeks, you grew to tolerate his presence, some would say you grew to like him.

When you were assigned to help at the Weathervane, and found out it was Xavier's doing (he switched his assignment card with yours, and then switched his with someone else), you even smiled a little to yourself.

"Wednesday's friend works here" you uttered, standing in front of the coffee shop with a still face. You averted your eyes to xavier as he scoffed, brows knitted at your words. "I suppose you know him?" a sigh slipped through his lips as you could sense that he was bothered by the mention of your sister's friend.

"It's the guy I've told you about" he began, and you understood. Xavier talked about a lot of things, and if he started to rant, you'd listen to every single word that left his mouth. "The asshole" you chimed in, making him smile. So you were listening (he had doubts).

You pressed your lips into a thin line, stepping inside the shop with Thorpe right behind you, hand somewhere on your lower back, a gesture he would repeat, whenever you had a walk. "Wednesday?" you heard an unfamiliar voice spoke out with shock, walking up to you. His eyes followed your partner's arm, causing him a lot of... unnecessary stress.

"A sister" you replied. his body relaxed, the same second a relieved sigh left his mouth. Nonetheless, you could feel your friend's muscles stiff by being around the boy who ruined his mural.

Before you could even refuse, you were having an orange apron wrapped around your chest, being told to at least have a little smile on your face prior, which lead to the blonde boy laughing at your reaction, and then at the reaction of the owner, when you cursed under your breath.

"Colours suit you" Xavier commented, hand running through his hair, trying to get the annoying strands of the face. Not even knowing why, you were observing each of his moves "What?" he asked, a little flustered, which was a rare thing.
