New Roommate

It had always just been me and Enid in our dorm so when we heard that we were getting a new roommate we were quite surprised, it was kinda nice it just being us but more company could be nice I guess, I had moved my desk to the middle of the room at the window so our new roommate could have some room, I guess instead of sleeping in that bed over on the other side I can sleep with Enid. Im not sure how they'll react to our dorm because of how bright it is since Enid is really into light colours, not that I mind of course but I'm more on the neutral side. Right now me and Enid are sitting at her desk watching a youtube video when we hear the door open, it's Principal Weems. A girl who I can assume is our new roommate walks in and she looks terrified, uh oh. Shes like the polar opposite of Enid no wonder she looks so terrified of all the bright colours. I hear the mother gasp, "It's so - vivid..." the father says. They must be a goth family, dressed all in black and the girl looks emotionless. Enid gets up rushing towards the girl and I follow slowly, "Howdy Rommie!" She says excitedly as I stand by her. "Wednesday, this is Enid Sinclair" Principal Weems says gesturing to Enid. "Oh, I almost didn't notice you here y/n, this is y/n"  She adds gesturing to me now, Wednesday huh? what an odd name. I bring my hand out for a handshake nodding at the new girl and she cautiously brings her hand up to mine shaking it and releasing it quickly. I look over to see the mother looking shocked and smiling a bit seeing the handshake and I get confused, it's just a handshake?

      "Are you feeling okay? you look a little pale" Enid asks, "Wednesday always looks half-dead" the father answers, and Enid just lets out a little 'oh'  "Welcome to Ophelia Hall!" Enid goes in for a hug. Bad choice Enid, Wednesday clearly doesn't like physical touch since she backs away a bit "Not a hugger, got it" Enid backs off. "Please excuse Wednesday, she's allergic to colour." The mother says making me turn to Enid raising my eyebrows at her knowingly, our room is FILLED with colour because of Enid. I space out, then Wednesday leaves the room with Enid so I quickly follow along.

       "Nevermore was founded in 1791 to educate people like us. Outcasts, freaks, monsters, fill in your favourite marginalized group here" Enid rambles on, "You can save the sanitized sales pitch. I don't plan on staying here for long." Wednesday says making me confused. "Why not?" I ask and she answers "This was my parent's idea. Oh look, there's my mother smirking at me." she gestures to a picture of a woman in the fencing team. "They've been looking for any excuse to send me here. It's all a part of their nefarious yet completely obvious plan. " Wednesday continued, "What plan?" Enid asks, "To turn me into a version of themselves" Wednesday answers. "In that case, perhaps you can clear something up, rumours have been swirling around that you killed a kid at your old school, and your parents pulled strings to get you off," Enid says. "Actually, it was two kids but who's counting?" Wednesday says as we go through a door to outside. "welcome to the quad." "It's a pentagon," Wednesday says making me chuckle a bit, she looks at me for a second before turning back. "The whole snarky goth girl thing might have worked at normie school, but here things are different. Let me give you a wiki on Nevermore's social scene." Enid says making Wednesday answer with "I'm not interested in participating in tribal adolescent cliches"  "Well, then use it to fill your obviously bottomless pits of disdain. there are MANY flavours of outcasts here, but the four main cliques are fangs, furs, stoners, and scales."

Enid says as she points at the group of vampires, "Those are the Fangs, AKA vampires, y/ns with them."  Wednesday turns and looks at me curiously examining me. "That bunch of knuckleheads are furs, aka werewolves, like me! Full moons get pretty loud around here. That's when Furs wolf out, so you may want to buy noise-cancelling headphones"  Enid says before Wednesday takes over. "I'm assuming scales are sirens?" "You catch on quick," I say, "And that girl, Bianca Barclay, is the closet thing nevermore has to royalty." Enid says as we watch her hand in the water turning into scales, "Although her crowns been slipping lately, she used to date our resident tortured artist, xavier thorpe. They broke up at the beginning of the semester. Reason unknown."  enid rambles. "Enid, I don't think Wednesday cares that much about gossip" I say chuckling. "You're smart and quiet, I like you." Wednesday says making me surprised before Ajax comes out of nowhere interrupting "Yo, Enid, Y/n! You're not gonna believe the dirt I heard about your new roommate. She eats human flesh, and totally chowed down on that kid she murdered. Yall better watch your back." he says not knowing that shes just right behind me, as I move over revealing her. "Quite the contrary, I actually fillet the body of my victims, then feed them to my menagerie of pets." she says making me chuckle at his face, "Ajax, this is me and y/n's new roommate, Wednesday. " Enid says. "whoa, you're in black and white. Like a living Instagram filter."  he says making me roll my eyes. "Ignore him, he's a bit childish," I say to Wednesday. 

 Then she walks away.

I'm sitting in our dorm room at my desk alone then Wednesday walks in with a tool and spraypaint, she spraypaints her side and enids into a half leaving me into the middle, she then goes up to the window behind my desk and starts peeling off her side of the paint with her tool. "You don't care?" She asks confused. "Not really. It's your side of the room you can do whatever you want with it." She looks a bit amused. "I would ask you to move to Enid's side but I've taken quite a liking to you y/n... you're different than the others, so I'm allowing half of your stuff to be on my side and the other on Enids" She says. I blush. What does she mean by 'quite a liking' like a friendly way or a different type of way?? "I've taken a liking to you too Wednesday," I say as I watch her peel the paint off.

When she's almost finished Enid comes in, "What the hell did you do to me and y/n's room?" She asked frustrated. "Dividing our room equally, it looks like a rainbow vomited on your side." Wednesday answers. "And what about y/n?" Enid asks. "her area can stay in the middle, so some of her stuff can be on your side and mine while she sleeps on my side of the room, I've taken a liking to her but shes also your friend so we can share"  Wednesday says making me blush. "HUH? Share?!" I say blushing. "But I want y/n  all the way on my side, and for her to sleep with me" Enid says throwing a fit like a kid. "Nope I've already made arrangments, this is rare for me to be this kind and even letting someone get this close to me but y/n will sleep in the same bed as me" she says pointing to her bed. Sleeping in the same bed as Wednesday?! jeez I think she must've hit her head or something.

All of a sudden ms Thornhill comes in "Good evening girls! sorry about the mud. I wanted to make sure that Wednesday was settling in." She looks back and forth at Enid and Wednesday on different sides and I'm on Wednesday's side sitting on the bed. She moves so she's standing on each side. "Ah. is this a bad time? I'm ms. thornhill your dorm mom." She looks at me funny as she sees me on Wednesday bed. "I trust that Enid and y/n have given you the old nevermore welcome." she says making Wednesday snap back with "shes been smothering me with hospitality and wont allow y/n to be on my side" she says making ms thornhill smile. "well it seems you and y/n get along well. I should get going now. make sure you girls get some sleep." She leaves the room.

I  roll over to the right side of wednesdays bed since I'm already in my pyjamas and I start to try and fall asleep, later I feel Wednesday get into the bed  on the left side but turn so she's facing me and I eventually fall asleep.
