Wednesday: A Day At Nevermore

Chapter 3: The Cafeteria

Wednesday didn't get the best sleep that night, which knowing her she probably loved. She had eaten breakfast in the cafeteria, which was pancakes with a whipped cream smiley face. She hated happiness so she took off the smiley face, asked for the whipped cream and drew a sad face. Ah good ole' Wednesday. "Hey Wednesday. Can I sit next to you?" Asked Percy, "I don't know. Can you?" Replied Wednesday. "I'll just sit across from you." Percy decided, "Smart move. If you would've sat next to me, I would've had to cut off some sort of limb." Wednesday said happily, "Hey, what's the deal with you, wanting to cut off people's limbs?" Asked Percy, chewing on the burnt bacon. "I do not know. It has always brought me joy. Even if it's just threatening someone with it." Wednesday shrugged, and pushed aside the burnt bacon with her fork. "So, are you going to the festival tonight?" Percy requested, "Perhaps, are there any games that involve torture?" Asked Wednesday hopefully, "Well, there's a whack-a-mole game, where you hit fake moles with a big hamme-" "I think I will go. I would prefer real moles for the game but, whatever is closest." Wednesday interrupted, "Well, I could take you if you would like." Percy offered, "It's only a 5 minute walk. I think I can walk by myself." Replied Wednesday, "Well, I was just wanting to take you because of a hyde that's on the loose, it's the main source of all these murders around town. Here's a picture of it: "Wait! It got deleted. Well, I bet you can get an image in your head of what it looks like." Percy sighed, "It can't be that scary. I bet I could take it if I wanted to." Wednesday said, not really amused. "Well, I doubt you know what the game Plants vs. Zombies is, but it looks like the monster from it." Said Percy, "That sounds like a fun game. Do you get to strangle the zombies with plants?" Asked Wednesday, "Well no, not exactly- Wait, I could show you on my phone." Said Percy, quickly sitting by Wednesday, "Watch this, I put these plants down and they shoot the zombies with slime balls. The point of the game is to make sure the zombies don't enter your house and kill you." He said, "Why not let it kill me? I feel like I would enjoy that." Wednesday said, excitedly. "Whatever floats your boat." Replied Percy, "Hey Wednesday, hey Percy." Shouted Enid, "Why are you shouting, you're right next to us." Wednesday said, clearly annoyed. "Yea, shut up!" Agreed Percy, "I'M SHOUTING BECAUSE YOU SEEM DEAF VELASQUEZ!" Barked Enid, "Gosh darn, chill. I was just agreeing with Wednesday." Argued Percy, "Why are you sitting so close to her? Do you have a crush?" Mocked Enid, "No. Of course not." Percy said, scooting away from Wednesday. "Sure. I know when someone has a crush." Enid chuckled, "This is why I steer clear of girls. Wednesday if you ever want to talk again here's my dorm number. And don't bring HER." Percy said as he stormed out of the cafeteria, "I feel that was unnecessary. But I am going to leave for now, I want to go work on my novel for one hour. Alone. Do not disturb." Wednesday demanded, "Whatever." Replied Enid rolling her eyes. "Thing, I think Percy likes me. You were there, tell me what you think." "Yes, but in the friendly way of course." Thing tapped, "Oh ok. What now? Asked Wednesday curiously. "🤷" "Of course you don't, you're just a hand you've never had a crush- I mean you've never had someone wanting to be your friend." Stuttered Wednesday, "You like him, don't lie to me." Thing tapped lightly. "Fine. Maybe I do. But it's just a tiny crush, it's not anything very serious." Wednesday admitted, "OMG! YOU JUST ADMITTED TO LIKING PERCY!" Screamed Enid, "Quiet down Enid! And you better not tell anyone, because me and Thing will make sure you die a slow, painful death." Wednesday threatened. "I recorded it so unless you want me to tell hi-" Faltered Enid, "Give Thing the phone. Or your stuffed animals get it." Said Wednesday angrily, "Fine. Here." Said Enid throwing the phone at Wednesday's head. "You must not have not known I took karate classes. I have killer instincts, so don't try anything with me." Wednesday warned, "Hey Wednesday, the festival is starting, do you want to head out?" Asked Percy, "Yes, I suppose we should. Goodbye Enid. Come along Thing." Said Wednesday, grabbing her purse from off the desk.
