I know short chapter, but I promise that the next one will be longer.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wednesday POV:

I wake up to the sound of my phone going off. I roll over and I pick it up after seeing a test from Y/N. A smile growing on my face

Y/N: Up for breakfast?

Me: Yeah just give me a second to change into actual clothes.

Y/N: 👍See you soon 😍

I scrunch up my face and I walk over to Enid's side and i shook her awake

"What? What's wrong?" I hand her the phone

"What does this mean?" she sits up and she rubs her eyes and looks at the phone

"What does that mean?" I point at the heart and the face. "Wednesday those are emojis."

"Thank you Enid, I know what emojis are. Just what do those mean specifically? It's from Y/N." She looks at me and she smiles.

"The heart eyes mean that she likes you."

"What should I put back?"

"Something that's you."

I take the phone and I look at the emoji's and I find one that fits me.

Me: 🖤

I sent it and I show it to Enid, she looks back wide eyed

"She probably thinks you're going to break her heart." There's a knock on the door I whisper to Enid.

"Can you get that while I quickly change?" She nods her head and I grab some clothes and I run into the bathroom. I hear a hushed conversation as I change, I smile at them getting along so well. I walk out of the bedroom and I see both of them smiling at me, Y/N comes up to me and gives me a hug and a kiss on the cheek and I feel my face heat up.

"Do you mind if I invite Enid for breakfast? I thought about what you said." She whispers in my ear and a shiver goes down my body, I nod my head and she smiles. I sit down on my bed to put on shoes. "Hey Enid, why don't you get changed and come to breakfast with us? It's the least we can do for probably waking you up so early every morning"

"No thank you, I don't want to impose on breakfast."

"You're not, I agree you should come to breakfast with us." I say and Enid looks at me like she's trying to catch me in a lie but she wont.

"Sure as long as you don't mind if I change really quickly." we shake our heads and she runs into the bathroom. Y/N sits down next to me and puts her head on my shoulder. We sit like that for a minute and she picks her head up and looks at me.

"I like the emoji you sent me, they are perfectly you." She kisses my cheek again and I smile wide.

"Enid was worried you would think I was going to break your heart."

"I mean you very well could be but I took it differently"

"Good I am glad that you did because I have to admit that I was nervous for a minute that it wasn't going to go well."

"Well out of these couple weeks I have grown to know you and I don't think you would ask me out only to do that. Someone else maybe but not me. And to you a red heart means the same thing as a black heart."

"You're right." she entangles her fingers with mine and she looks at me and smiles.

"Awwwww aren't you two the cutest things." I feel the heat rise to my face again, Y/n Has a confused look on her face. I mouth, Enid must have heard the conversation because she says we are cute. I see the blush rise on her face and I smile wider.

"Are you done changing?" I ask Enid and Y/n turns her head to look at Enid.

"Are you done being all lovey dovey?" We get up still holding hands, we walk out the door and we fall into a small conversation about today. We grab food before sitting down at a table Enid on one side and us on the other side I untangle my fingers with hers so we can eat. I see within every minute of the conversation Y/n gets more nervous. I place my hand on her thigh and she looks at me and I give a nod and a bright smile, trying to tell her that it was okay. She nods her head and gives me a smile telling me that we can start the conversation.

Y/N Pov:

"Enid, we have to talk to you about something." She looks at us and has a worried look on her face.

"Am I in trouble?" I smile and shake my head no but that doesn't stop the nervous look still on her face.

"No not at all but I need to stress how important this is and how it can't get out to the entire school."

"No one is going to care that you two are dating but if you want me to calm down on the teasing and the jokes I can."

"It's not that. But we are serious, you can't tell anyone what Y/n's about to say. This is her secret and she doesn't want it to get out. She had a hard time telling me so right now she's beyond nervous" Wednesday says and Enid gets out of the chair and moves to be next to me, she wraps her arms around me and gives me a tight hug. She looks at me and gives me a big smile.

"Okay, my lips are sealed. I promise I won't tell a soul, living or dead" She goes to sit back down in the chair. I caught my breath,

"There was a reason why I couldn't keep up the conversation at dinner my first night and why I prefer to sit with Wednesday or in my dorm room. Only the adults, Wednesday and now you know about this. I can't hear you." I watch and Enid's face has a look of confusion on it.

"What?"

"I became deaf at the age of five, I haven't been able to hear a thing since."

"But you're talking to me?"

"I'm reading your lips darling. That's why I couldn't handle that conversation. With everyone talking at once it was hard to get what they were saying.

"So you can't hear anything I say." I nod my head. "That's so cool. Well I mean not cool because that kind of sucks but that's awesome. I'm sorry if we overwhelmed you that day, it really wasn't mine or the others intention. Your secret's safe with me, I promise. I'm glad that you told me. But can I ask you another question if you don't mind?" i nod my head

"Is that why you are nevermore?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well you're not a vampire or a werewolf or any other outcast. I was just wondering if you were here because of the deafness or if you have another power"

"I am here for another reason."

"So you have another super power that's so cool, what is it?"

"I'm a psychic"

"That's so cool like Wednesday."

"What kind of psychic are you?"

"A bit of this, a bit of that. I don't see the past like Wednesday, but I can sometimes see the future, but the most I can do is move things and I can make drawings come to life."

"Not all psychics have visions." Wednesday says smiling at me.

"Thank you for telling me" Enid says also as she hops up and hugs me really tightly and I am now glad that I have someone else who knows.
