"You don't have to be a house to be haunted." - Emily Dickinson
"Just go and have a good time. Come one, I'm not gonna let you stay here and cry yourself to sleep," Zella has been begging me to go to the Rave'N. She only wants to go for the spiked punch, I'm also pretty sure she has a flask somewhere hidden in her blazer.
"Fine i'll go," I get up and grab the box. I guess I'm not going to the dance anymore with Wednesday, so now I don't have a date.
When she said that, it was like a stab to the stomach. Not the heart. The wound bleeds, it feels like a burning sensation. A good one with potential of healing quickly, something good may come out of it.
I put the dress on, it's beautiful. Stunning, I don't like to say this because I think I sound self-obsessed. But I look pretty. I walk out of the bathroom, folding my pyjamas and putting them under my pillow.
"I'm ready," I really don't want to go. Lilith, do it for, Zella.
"Let's go." How can she skip in those heels? "What are you gonna do, if Wednesday shows up?"
"I don't know, I'll just see how things turn out," we walk down the stairs. Xavier looks over at Zella, his eyes lighten up.
Everyone thinks he has a crush on, Zella. Now I know why everyone thinks that, the way he looks at her is full of love and admiration. The way anyone would want their lover to look at them. The way I looked at Wednesday, that one night.
Sad for him that she'll reject him, if he asks.
He looks away and starts looking down. Now he's sad, perhaps she has already rejected him in the past. Could've been that one time, he didn't talk to her for a week.
"Ready to walk in?" Zella asks, putting her hands sun her pockets.
"Xavier, is waiting for his date," Ajax teases, nudging Xavier. Date? Bianca, probably. That's a surprise, I think she would've realised they were kind of toxic.
"Who? Bianca?" Zella asks, Xavier nodding in return. She smiles, happy for him. "You guys back together?"
"No," he scoffs. Bianca standing behind him. Oh, I feel sorry for her. She really loves him, if she heard she's probably heartbroken. "Oh, hey. Ready to walk in?"
We all walk in, this place is beautiful. They did a really good job, nothing compared to the Yule ball, but it's, wow.
Me and Zella are sticking out like sore thumbs, everyone is dressed in white or blue. (Not like I expected anything else, the theme was white.) Enid of course dressed in pink. She even dyed her hair pink, pink hair suits her.
