Enid's pov

It's been a couple of days since the movie night with Wednesday, where we almost kissed. We both know that was what was about to happen, if Ajax didn't show up.

Since then I've basically ghosted her, she tried to talk to me the next day but I snapped at her. I was horrible to her, for no reason at all, she was just trying to settle things between us because she knew I was avoiding her.

On that night I knew what was about to happen, I wanted it to happen. I've always had a little crush on Wednesday but I put those feelings behind me because I didn't think she'd ever like girls, let alone me.

So when we almost kissed I was completely shocked by it, I was stuck in the moment until Ajax knocked on the door, I was then pulled back into reality and I realised what was really about to happen.

I got freaked out about it since I'm still with him and I still was when I almost kissed Wednesday. So I left Wednesday to go talk to him.

Originally when I walked out there the plan was to tell him I wasn't ready to talk to him yet then go back and continue me and Wednesday's movie night.

But when I saw him and how sad he looked I instantly felt guilty about what could've happened if he didn't interrupt us. I spoke to him for a while and he apologised for acting the way he did. He was so sweet and sincere about it so I forgave him and agreed for things to go back to normal with us.

When I went back to the dorm after that Wednesday had packed everything up and gone back to her side of the room. I wasn't ready to face what could've happened so I just told her I was tired and wanted to go to bed early.

I felt so bad for doing that to her, she at least deserved some answers about it all.

I don't think I've ever felt as guilty as I did the next day when I saw her in the hallway. I'll never forget the look on her face when she saw me and Ajax, she had the same bland expression but she looked hurt through her eyes.

I didn't see her really at all throughout that day, I saw her disappear with Xavier which stung a little since I knew he used to like her and could potentially still like her. But I had no right to feel hurt over that after what I'd done to her.

She came to one class then for the rest of the day she didn't show up to anything. I only saw her when I got back to the dorm later that day, she was asleep on her bed.

I couldn't just leave her like that so I gently pulled her blazer off one arm since I couldn't properly take it off her without waking her up, then I took off her shoes and pulled a blanket over her so she wouldn't get cold.

After that I went to my side of the dorm and quietly got on with my day so I wouldn't disturb her.

Now a few days later she's not said a word to me or even looked at me, I can't really be offended by her actions after the way I treated her. I needed to apologise.

I waited until all classes had finished to go back to the dorm because I knew that's was where she would be if I wasn't there.

I made my way up to the dorm and as expected she was there, sat at her desk typing on her typewriter. She didn't turn to look at me or even flinch at the sound of the dorm door creaking open.

I put my things down and walked up to where the tape dividing our room used to be. I thought the best way to apologise was to respect her boundaries even if they were ones she had let go a while ago.

"Wednesday?" This must have surprised her since I'd not spoken to her at all either, the keys of her typewriter went silent for a moment before she turned around.

She looked at me for a moment before rising from her seat and taking a few steps closer.

"Enid?" I took a breath before carefully choosing my next words "I'm sorry.." she slightly raised her eyebrows awaiting my next words.

"I'm sorry for how I've treated you, it was selfish and unfair" she nodded lightly to my words "I know what was about to happen that night and I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable at any point" she'd been looking at the ground this whole time until I finished speaking. She looked back up to me.

"I wasn't uncomfortable.." she said lowly, I was caught off guard by her words "I..wanted it to happen.." I was in utter shock at what she said, never in my time of knowing Wednesday has she ever said anything remotely like that.

"But I'm aware that you are with Ajax so we don't have to speak of this again if you don't want to" I was still trying to pull myself together, I started to get the same feeling in my body as that night I wolfed out during the fight with Tyler. How was this happening? It wasn't even a full moon.

I took a deep breath and looked back at her Wednesday. Was I about to admit this? "..I wanted it too" I muttered.

She looked as taken aback as I felt when she said it first.

"Look Wednesday, I have no idea what's happening with us but I like it, I think we should take it slow and help each other through this" Wednesday nodded in response "I agree, that sounds like a good idea" I smiled at her.

A/N: heyy! How's everyone doing? What do you guys think of what's happened so far?
What will happen between Ajax and Enid? Will Enid and Wednesday pursue these feelings they both have?
I hope you all enjoyed!
