Chapter 2: Parents' Weekend

——————————🕷️——————————

All the parents and students gathered around in the quad and listened to Principal Weems's speech.

"Nevermore was created as a safe haven for our children to learn and to grow, no matter who or what they are."

The whole quad clapped at that.

"I realize most of you have heard about the unfortunate incident involving one of our students. But I'm happy to report that Eugene is on the mend and is expected to make a full recovery. So let's focus on the positive and make this Parents' Weekend our very best yet."

Everyone in the quad applauded again, except for Enid, Wednesday and (Y/n) who were standing in the back.

Wednesday looked around blankly at the display, with one arm around (Y/n)'s shoulders.

"On the mend? Try in a coma." He scoffed.

"Have you been to see him?" Enid asked.

(Y/n) nodded, and Wednesday just looked at her.

"I'm the reason he's in the hospital." He reminded her.

"Hey." (Y/n) said, getting his attention. "That was not your fault." She told him firmly, while rubbing his back.

"The monster hasn't attacked anyone in the past week. Maybe you scared it off?" Enid suggested.

"Or maybe it went into hiding to avoid this weekend." He scowled.

"At least your parents showed up." (Y/n) muttered. She hadn't seen her parents faces at all. She didn't know wether to be happy or sad about it.

Wednesday glanced down at her and put his hand under her chin and tilted her head to look at him.

"Your parents are fools. They do not deserve you as a daughter, and they don't deserve to be in your thoughts, so get rid of them." He said.

(Y/n) smiled, and leaned up to kiss him, and he kissed her back.

"Thanks Wednesday."

"You're welcome. Ma petite rose."

The two were about to kiss again, when they heard the flash of a camera. They both turned to see Enid holding up her phone, with a huge smile.

"Sorry. You guys are just so couple goals! This pic is tots going in my (your couple name) photo album!" She squealed.

(Y/n) playfully rolled her eyes. "Is a photo album really necessary Enid?"

"You'll thank me when I give you the completed version at your wedding." Enid replied confidently, before her face dropped to a serious one. "By the way, if I'm not your maid of honor, I will literally wolf out on you."

(Y/n)'s eyes widened a bit. "...Duly noted..."

Wednesday looked over (Y/n)'s shoulder and saw his family entering the quad.

"I knew I should have worn my plague mask."

(Y/n) lightly hit his chest, and gave him a look that said 'knock it off.'
