The Woes of Love

Outreach Day (7)

Everyone stood in the court yard. Ms Weems gave her speech before giving everyone their assigned place to work at for the day.

Wednesday grumbled as she overheard that her, Enid and Ajax got the same place. Uriahs Heap. She also heard that Eugene and Xavier got the Weathervane. "Why must you curse me Satan? You're laughing on your throne aren't you? I can hear you now.. "

Everyone heads to Jericho. The woman that owned Uriahs Heap gave them each a brush. "Comb the fur of the animals. " she instructed before going to the counter.

Enid grimaced, looking at all the taxidermy animals in outfits. "So.. Ajax are you excited for tonight? " she asked with a smile. He nodded. "Yes, I have everything planned out. By the way, I like your braid it's cute. " he smiled and she giggled softly. "Thank you! " she smiled.

Wednesday groaned, coughing into her hand before turning to Enid. "Your dramatic show of PDA makes want to drink a bottle of cyanide. You're so busy with your new boyfriend that you haven't noticed my major cough. Nor did you bother to check on me after yesterday. This is very peculiar for you since you always care about everyone around you.. I guess that boy has become more important to you. Enid Sinclair I am no longer your roommate starting today. " she said coldly.

Enid gasped. "B-but I'm... " she muttered and Wednesday walked out of the store, leaving the brush on a shelf. "I'm a horrible friend. " she cried, leaning into Ajax who just held her, saying nothing. Yoko walked inside, she had watched from the window. "I'm sorry but.. I warned you Enid. " she sighed. "I-i know.. I should have listened! "

Wednesday felt her blood boil as she walked to the weathervane. She bursted through the door and sat at a booth, gripping onto the table. Eugene walked over to Wednesday, giving her usual coffee. "Hey Wednesday.. I'm guessing it didn't go well, working with Enid and Ajax.. " he said.

Wednesday sighed softly. "Eugene can I stay at the honey shack for a while? I can't sleep in the dorm. " she asked. Eugene smiled with a nod. "Of course you can. " he asked. Xavier walked over. "Wednesday I can treat you better than that, better than she does. I know you don't like her just as a friend. Please just give me a chance. " he begged.

Wednesday glared at him. "I am not in the mood for this Xavier. Leave me alone before I break every single bone in your body. " she threatened. "Of kindness.. " Eugene added. "But... In order to make you stop bothering me I will go the Rave'N with you. It is a deal. "

Enid went to her dorm, putting on a poka dot sweater, a skirt and a jacket. She left the dorm and left to go to greenhouse. She was so excited! But she also had a guilt feeling in her heart. From now on she should try her best to make it up to Wednesday.

She made it to the greenhouse and there was a picnic blanket on the grass with a basket. Ajax stood there, wearing a blue button up and grey pants. "Hey Enid! You look great. " he smiled, hugging her before pulling her to sit on the blanket.

Enid smiled brightly. "This looks amazing. Thank you so much for inviting me here. " she said. Ajax shrugged. "I.. I like you a lot Enid. And I want to make this special. And I was wondering if you'd like to be my girlfriend? " he asked.

Enid beamed. "Omg I thought you'd never ask! One hundo! Of course I would. " she smiled, giggling. The two leaned closer until they kissed deeply. Enid's nails extend and she pulled back with a nervous chuckle. "I don't know why.. That happened.. "

Wednesday grabbed a pillow and a blanket before laying them down on the floor of the shack. Thing walked over. "Don't you think that was.. A little harsh.? " he signed. Wednesday shook her head. "No it wasn't. I know she imprinted on me and she's ignoring it for a boy crush. Maybe my snap will get sense into her. " she huffed before laying down. Thing scuttled onto the bed. "You could have done it more lightly. " he signed. "Thing I swear-"

Enid went to Eugene's dorm, knocking on the door. He opened it. "Oh.. Hey Enid! " he smiled. Enid smiled, waving. "Hey Eugene. I know you and Wednesday are kinda close.. " she pressed her pointer fingers together. "Do you know where she is? She hasn't been at the dorm.. I know she said she wasn't my roommate but I thought it was just.. A in the moment kinda thing.." she said.

Eugene nodded. "She's been sleeping at the honey shack. I don't know how long she's gonna do it.. I assume until she forgives you... If she forgives you. Maybe you can convince her to forgive you somehow" he said. Enid nodded. "Thank you! And yeah..ill try. " she said.

Enid went to her dorm, grabbing a blanket and pillow before heading out of the academy, to the honey shack. She slowly opened the door and Thing turned to her. "Shhh.. " she said softly and laid the blanket down and the pillow. She slowly laid down and fell asleep.

She'd confront Wednesday in the morning... If Wednesday doesn't kill her in her sleep.
