Chapter 2: The Party

Wanda made a few notes in her notebook, one of which was never to fall in love. The love that some of her favorite authors claimed existed was something surreal in her mind. Romeo and Juliet was a classic for anyone but Wanda. After reading it 4 times during the same week, she understood that love is tragic, there was nothing that could change her mind. How could love cause the death of a couple that was so deeply in love? Love was chaos and death.

Kodaline was playing in her headphones, it was a sad song, she had gotten lost in the song that was playing. She looked out her window with a melancholy look in her eyes, as she tapped her pen on her notebook to control her anxiety. She looked at the clock, it was pointing 15 minutes to 3pm, she would have to return the book, but she didn't want to go to the Library knowing that Jarvis wouldn't be there.

Pietro noticed Wanda sitting in her chair with her headset and her facial expression. He wanted to laugh, but like a good brother he approached quietly. He pulled one side of his sister's headphone and blew in the girl's ear, causing her to jump out of her chair, slamming her hand down on the table and knocking her things over. Pietro burst out laughing and helped her pick up her things from the floor. He picked up her notebook and quickly read a few notes and shook his head in denial.

"So what, are you going to be whining all week?" Pietro said, holding out the notebook to his sister. "I'm going to the library to find Y/N/N, do you want me to take your book?"

Pietro noticed that Wanda seemed to hesitate, he knew that one of the reasons for her book addiction was for Jarvis, but he also knew that she needed to read for distraction. She looked down at the book on the table, until she remembered the bookmark, remembered that it could be a sign, and looked back at Pietro.

"Give me a few minutes." Wanda said, giving her brother a sad smile.

Pietro approached giving his sister a kiss on the forehead and left the room. Wanda ran her hand through her hair to tidy up some standing strands, she had no reason to get ready to go out. She would go as she was, in her brother's green hoodie and short jeans. She just put on her favorite sneakers and picked up the book on the table. She looked around to see if she had forgotten anything until she looked at her phone on the table, still playing music on the headset. She picked up her phone, turned off her music app and walked to the door.

Pietro was leaving his room as well when he turned to Wanda, he looked her up and down, turned his gaze to Wanda's face and raised his eyebrow. It was his way of questioning whether she would go dressed like that. She just rolled her eyes, walked to the stairs of the house, being followed by Pietro.

"Mom, Wanda and I are going into town." Pietro shouted coming down from the stairs. "Do you want anything?"

Wanda was coming near the door when her mother appeared with a smile on her face. She seemed more cheerful than usual, which Wanda found strange since the woman always lived with a frown on her face at home.

"No, son." She said, "But if you go to the library, send Y/N and Luke a kiss."

Pietro nodded, but Wanda just opened the door and left the house. She walked to Pietro's car, thinking about the earlier interaction. Her mother seemed to know a lot about you, which made Wanda curious. She ignored the thoughts, walked over to Pietro's car, got into the passenger side and put on her seat belt. She waited a few minutes until Pietro appeared getting into the driver's side.

"Mom seems pretty connected to the Y/L/N siblings..." Wanda said as Pietro put on his seat belt and started the car. "You know them too..." Wanda looked at her brother who seemed focused on maneuvering the car. "Are you going to explain it to me?"
