The Woes of Love

Getting Ready for the Poe Cup (3)

Enid got so excited about talking about the Poe Cup yesterday that she decided to start working on getting prepared for it after school. She went to her room where Wednesday was typing on her type writer. She was writing her novel like she did every night before bed.

She smiled and skipped over to her roomie. "Hey roomie! I'm gonna go to Yoko's dorm and work on the costumes. I'll be back later. " she said. Wednesday nodded. "Ok. I hope you poke your fingers with the needle. " she muttered, scratching her sleeves. "Aw thank you! " Enid smiled, knowing that that was her way of saying have fun.. She thinks... She hopes-

Enid leaves the dorm and walks to Yoko's dorm. She hummed on her way before arriving. She softly knocked on the door and smiled as Yoko opened it, letting her inside. "So.. I'm thinking leather, with cat ears and then we can do makeup to look like a nose and whiskers! " she exclaimed as she pulled out fabric, needles, thread, a pencil and a notebook. "I wrote everyone's measurements down here! " she smiled.

The two began to trace out the outfits on the fabric before cutting them out. Once that finished, they began sewing the pieces together. They finished in about 2 hours. Enid left Yoko's outfit there before delivering everyone else's outfit before going back to her dorm.

She froze on her way. She felt a nag in her chest. Like a feeling of jealousy.. But why was she jealous? She shook it off and continued walking.

She wasn't jealous. But Wednesday was currently looking at Enid's side of the room and thought about Ajax.

Enid was feeling Wednesday's emotion.

It was now the next day after school.

The principal had put out 4 canoes so that the 4 teams could decorate them how ever they'd like. The canoes right now just looked regular with the brown wood. The principal also left a bunch of aprons, brushes, cups and paint. Enid smiled and grabbed a big brush and a big can of black paint. She dipped the brush into the paint and began painting the entire canoe.

Meanwhile Wednesday was at the bee shack. She was helping Eugene collect honey from the bees, she tends to be better with the more feisty bees than Eugene was. "Eugene.. What do you do when your feelings are.. Unreciprocated? " she asked as she put a label on a honey jar.

Eugene looked at her with confusion. "Wednesday do you actually like someone or are you just curious? " he asked. He was confused, Wednesday said she didn't do emotions or romantic relationships, so why ask?

Wednesday grumbled as she crossed her arms. "No my family has a curse. We get soulmates, much like werewolves and mates. I think I have found mine and it's messing with my emotions, making me want to hurl at these feelings. But if they don't get feelings as well then.. " she sighs, rolling up her sleeves to reveal little black flowers growing on her skin. "You grow flowers on your skin. It gets worse the less they show romantic interest. Eventually if she dates someone else I'll start coughing up petals. "

Eugene widened his eyes. "What happens if.. She falls in love? " he asked. She flexes her jaw. "Then I'll die. But I don't care. I'd rather die miserable death of choking on petals than confess my soulmate bond to her. " she explains.

Eugene nodded slowly, getting sad about the possibility of his friend dying. "Wait- but who is your soulmate. " he asked. Wednesday pursed her lips. "I.. I know that you have a.. Interesting relationship with Enid. But.. She Is my soulmate. " she said.

Eugene smiled. "It's ok Wednesday. I don't mind. " he said before taking off his bee helmet. "See you later. " he said, saving. Wednesday did a nod before walking out of the shack.

It's now the next day

Wednesday left to go therapy, walking to Jericho. She went to the building, walking inside before going to the room. She sat down in a chair and looked at Dr Kinbott

Dr Kinbott smiled brightly. "Hello Wednesday. " she said softly, crossing her leg softly. "Hello.. " she muttered. "How have you been feeling? " she asked. Wednesday hummed softly, putting her hands over each other. "Like my usual miserable self. " she said. "So.. Good? " she questioned.

Wednesday nodded. "Yes. But also.. There's something weird happening to me. There's-... My roommate has been making me feel weird. Like there's bat in stomach. And when she hangs out with this boy I feel as if I'd drunk poison.. And not in the good way. "

Dr Kinbott nodded slowly, writing in her notes. "Interesting.. Do you know why this is happening to you? " she asked. She could tell her about the curse. She tell her she's her mate. "No I do not. " she answered.

After a while of talking, the session ends and Wednesday abruptly stands up. She walks out and Dr Kinbott looks at her notes. Client seems to have a crush on her roommate but is either denying those feelings or is unaware of them completely.

Wednesday walks back to Nevermore academy. She goes to her dorm and sits down at her desk, beginning to type on her typewriter like she always did in the evening.

Little did Wednesday know, Thing had snuck into her session with Dr Kinbott.

Enid eventually comes back to the dork, taking off her apron before putting it in her closet. "Good night roomie!" She smiled, going to sleep in her bed.

Wednesday stopped typing, getting up and going to her closet to change clothes. "Have a horrible sleep Sinclair. " she said before going to bed. She slept with her arms in an x over her chest.
