The Woes of Love

Secret Almost Found (4)

Yesterday Wednesday had gone to therapy. She keeps thinking about it. She shouldn't have talked about her roommate. To much of a risk. No one needed to know she had a mate. It was after school and Wednesday went to Enid. She missed her but she'd never admit that out loud of course. She heard Enid in the distance giving out orders.

"Work on those teeth! I need more scowl.. If Bianca Barclay win again, I'll scratch my own eyes out! " she yelled. "I'd pay money to see that. " Wednesday said with a light smirk, though that was a lie. She'd never want to see Enid hurt. She'd kill herself before hurting Enid. "I hope you crush Bianca under your boat in victory. " she said.

Enid smiled awkwardly. "Thank you for the good luck! I hope to see you glaring in the crowd. " she said before widening her eyes as she remembered. "Ah! I wanted to tell you that during me and Things manicure, he seemed pretty mad you... I'd go check on him. " she said, biting her lip.

Wednesday hummed softly before nodding. She turned and began to walk to the academy. She went to her dorm, walking inside to see Thing flipping through a magazine on Enid's bed. She goes over to him but kept her distance from the colorful frabric. "Enid says you are mad me, why is that? "

Thing began tapping on the bed. She sighed and sat down, against her own will. Curse her feelings. She felt a warmth in her body from sitting on Enid's bed. "Yes? " she asked. "Your soulmate is Enid. Why haven't you done anything about it? Keep her from Ajax? " he signed. "Because.. I'd rather gouge my eyes out then confess my emotions that I thought I'd never have. " she said. Thing tapped his fingers before continuing. "But if you don't you'll know what will happen.. "

Wednesday nodded before beginning to cough, covering her mouth before stopping. She pulled her hand away, holding a few petals. "I know and I'm ok with that. Tell anyone of this conversation, I'll end you. " she said before getting up.

Wednesday goes to the library. Despite not wanting to tell Enid, she wanted to know more about werewolves. She grabbed a book and sat at a table, opening the book and beginning to read. After a while, Xavier walked into the library and sat next to her. "Lycanthropy? Doing research about your roommate? " he asked with a grin.

Wednesday closed the book. "Just interested in learning. " she answered. "Why do you hang around Enid so much? " he questioned. "No reason other than she's my roommate. It's only natural. That and she never leaves me alone." she said. Xavier shrugged. "Ok.. Well I'd like to hang out with you more. " he said with smile.

Wednesday looked at him. "Why would you want to do that? " she asked him. "Because.. I'm interested in you. " he said, smiling. "Well... I'm not interested in YOU. " she said, grabbing the book and standing up, leaving the library.

She walks back to Ophelia Hall, going into her dorm, going to her closet and putting the book there before going to her desk. She was then interrupted by Enid. "Where have you been!? I'm literally having a heart attack. " she exclaimed. "Reading in the library, what happened? " she asked. She looked her up and down. "You don't seem to be having a heart attack.. "

Enid began pacing back and forth. She was wearing yellow shorts and a rainbow sweater. "Yoko is in the infirmary from a garlic bread incident. I have no co-captain! " she panicked.

Wednesday nodded. "It was Bianca. " she said. "How do you know? " she asked, tilting her head. "Well.. You said there are no rules in the Poe Cup and I'm sure she really wants to win. " she answered. Enid nodded, grabbing her chin. "You're right.. Therefore you can't cheat. " she said Wednesday hummed in amusement. "My kind of game. "

Wednesday looked over to Thing, nodding to him before looking at Enid. "Tomorrow we will win the Poe Cup. Me and Thing will come up with a strategy. " she inquired. Enid widened her eyes. "Wait.. We? You'll be my co-captain!? You'll do it for me? " she smiled brightly, her eyes gleaming.

Anything for you. "I want to scold Bianca in the hot fires of defeat. " I want to show my mate I can provide for her. "But.. I need a costume.. Right? " she asked.

Enid nodded. "I'll need you to undress so I can measure you. " she said, grabbing a pen, notebook and measuring tape. Wednesday blinked lightly. Enid will see her flowers. "Close your eyes. "

Enid blushed and nodded quickly. "Of course! " she said, closing her eyes. Wednesday undressed before going to the trash can and wiping the flowers off her arms, they now grew on her lower chest so she them off too, throwing them in the trash.

She then turned around stood in front of Enid. "You can open. " she said bluntly. Enid slowly opened her eyes. She blushed as she looked at Wednesday. Wednesday showed no embarrassment. Her thin but lean figure stood in front of her. She wore a sports bra and... Boxers? She decided not to comment on it before taking her measurements.

Wednesday swore she felt her heart flutter. The only sign she had a heart. Enid wrote the measurements down. "You can get dressed now.. " she said softly, still blushing. "I'll get started on your costume! " she said with a bright smile.

She grabbed her fabric and began to outline the costume before beginning to cut it out. She then began to sew them together. Once she was finished she left the costume on Wednesday's bed as the girl typed at her desk. She glanced at it, raising a brow before going back to typing out her novel.

Once Enid had gone to sleep, Wednesday and Thing began to discuss their plans for how to win the Poe Cup.
