The Dance

•820 words•

Enid's Pov:

I should be excited for the dance but I'm not.

I've been excited about the Rave'N for weeks now. I've picked out my dress, my shoes and Ajax even asked me to be his date!

Though this seems amazing, it somehow wasn't.

Ajax has been dating me for a few weeks now and it's been great. I just felt like something was lacking.

We held hands, went on dates and he even tried to kiss me (I swerved him). Through it all I just didn't feel that spark I knew I was supposed to feel. Except around her.

Around Wednesday I just felt better like a weight on my shoulders was being lifted. I don't know what to do about this so I shove them down.

Wednesday walks into our shared dorm, making me beam with joy.

"Are you going to the Rave'N?!" I excitedly asked her.

"No." She blankly states as she sits down on her bed.

"But why notttttttt??? It's amazing and there's all these people and music and colors!!" I say, trying to convince her.

"You just listed three things I loathe. Also, I don't have a date so there's no point." Wednesday says, unpacking her bag.

I pout at her response but know I can't do or say anything to change her mind.

*The day of the dance*

I start getting ready and get sad knowing that Wens isn't going to be there. I look over at my solemn roommate and say goodbye. I grab my purse and head out the door.

Though my date is Ajax, I choose to hang out with Yoko and her date Bianca instead. I come up with excuses when Ajax wants to slow dance and try to avoid him at all costs.

I don't wanna be mean to him, I just don't know what to do. I think I like him but part of me yearns for someone else.

I danced for a couple of hours until the moment I dreaded happened.

Mrs. Thornhill announces the Rave'N king and queen.

"For the king we have... Ajax!!" The red haired teacher announced.

Ajax steps up on the stage to get crowned, smiling like a fool.

"For the Rave'N queen we have..." Mrs. Thornhill drags it out to increase anticipation.

"Enid Sinclair!! What a perfect match!" The teacher announces, knowing that me and Ajax went to the dance together.

My stomach drops as I feel the beam of the spotlight hit my face.

I think a million thoughts at once as I smile, covering up my emotions once more.

As I walk on stage to receive my crown I feel tears welling up. I don't want this.

Ajax takes my hand to slow dance and I go along, smile still on my face.

Everyone's eyes started to go off of us as they started slow dancing with their own partners.

Ajax put his hands on my waist and I couldn't handle it anymore.

"I-I can't do this." I tell him and shove him away

I ran out of the room and towards the bathroom to clear my head and clean my now running mascara.

As I tried to clean my face, I dropped down to the floor, sobbing into my chest now.

Wednesday's Pov:

As I walk down to the dance, deciding to arrive fashionably late for Enid's sake, I hear a muffled sound near the restroom.

I don't think much of it until I get closer to the door.

Shit.

I hear Enid's unmistakable sobbing.

I walk in prepared to kill whomever did this to her.

She doesn't notice me walking in so I decide to do something I never would do.

Enid's Pov:

I feel a cold hand brush away my tears.

I look up and lock eyes with those obsidian orbs.

"W-Wens?" I say with my breath shaking.

"Who did this?" Wednesday said, looking like she had already planned an alibi.

"N-No one I-I just couldn't do it. I couldn't dance with him." I admitted to her surprisingly comforting face.

"But I thought you loved dancing?" Wens said, confused.

"I do!! It's just him." I say, still trying to figure out my feelings.

"Follow me." Wednesday said, gripping Enid's arm and leaving the restroom.

She led me up the stairs and towards a balcony I didn't know existed.

"Here." She said placing her left hand on my waist and her right hand in mine.

I started following her steps in the waltz, enjoying it more than I ever did with Ajax.

Though there was no music playing, I could feel the rhythm.

She spun me as I felt a rush of serotonin enter me.

As I spun back to her, our faces were mere inches apart from each other.

Wednesday's Pov:

I glanced into her magical eyes as I realized my emotions.

I could feel the tension between us and all I wanted to do was to kiss her.

Enid's Pov:

I could feel myself blush as the silence grew.

I knew what she wanted to do but I also knew she would never take initiative.

"Kiss me, Addams" I whispered, smiling.

That was all she needed to hear.

As our lips embraced I felt like fireworks were going off.

I wanted it to stay like this forever.
