Inner Thoughts - Enoch O'Conner x reader

6. I'm sorry

Y/n Pov

He looked at me with a blank expression as I opened the note. In really sloppy hand writing it said 'I'm sorry that you hit me in the face with a half eaten sheep heart.'

I glared at him,"really? That's not an apology."

"Well it's good enough for me because I'm starving."

All I could hear coming from his mouth was Scottish sarcasm. 'I'm this close to punching you,' I thought as he walked out the door. He turned around and said,"I heard that."

We both went downstairs and sat in the dining room. The rest of the children joined us along with Ms. Peregrine.

Ms. Peregrine asked if we had apologize to each other yet. I answered and said we had.

"I haven't heard that apology yet so until I have heard it you can't eat."

I stood up and turned to Enoch," I'm sorry I bit your hand and your sheep heart." I smiled sarcastically and started eating. I hadn't eaten any thing since dinner last night.

Ms. Peregrine looked at Enoch,"Enoch, is there anything you would like to say to y/n?"

He grunted and stood up,"I'm sorry we didn't get to finish our fight. I'm sorry you made me clean up glass and formaldehyde. I'm sorry your a horrible person."

Enoch sat down and started eating. Ms. Peregrine glared at Enoch,"That is not an apology and you know it-"

"What did you just call me?" I interrupted Ms. Peregrine and stood up. "Y/n sit back down. Enoch go to your room."

Enoch left as we finished up dinner. We didn't see him for the rest of the night.

~~~~~~~~~~~Time skip

 We got ready for movie time and Horace sat down and put the monocle up to his eye. The lights went dark and the movie started playing. It showed Horace trying on clothes. Lots of clothes. Suddenly, it switched to me dancing from earlier. 'Y/n's a pretty good dancer,' I heard Millard think. "Thanks Millard," I said out loud. He looked at me with confusion and then smiled.

I got embarrassed at seeing everyone look at how I danced. It switched and showed Enoch cleaning the floor when I broke the glass the heart was in. It switched one last time and showed a pair of lips close together. Just as it was about to zoom out to see who it was Ms. Peregrine turned on the lights. "That's enough children time for bed." Everyone awed at the same time in disappointment.

As I headed back to my room I shared my thought with Enoch,'we need to talk.'

He opened his door, looked me dead in my eyes, and walked into his room shutting the door. 'Fine be that way,' I thought. I was about to walk into my room when I was pulled into another room. The door closed behind me and I spun around to see Enoch.

"Did you just kidnap me?" I asked.

"If that's what you think. You said you wanted to talk. Why?"

"Why do you keep picking fights with me?" I questioned,"Isn't that what your dolls are for?"

He rolled his eyes at me,"They are not dolls, they are homunculi."

"Yeah, yeah, as if you don't braid their hair in secret."

"Do you want me to answer your question or not?" He said sternly in his thick Scottish accent. I'm starting to think I quite like his accent.

"Yes, please answer my question." I say with some sort of moody tone.

"I pick fights with you because you fight back. No one here dares to challenge me like you do. I like that about you."

"I thought you hated everyone here."

"I do, I just like you because I hate you."

'I could say the same thing myself,' I thought.

"I heard that."

"I know. Is this your way of making friends?"

He leans back on his desk,"I suppose."

"Good to know," I say leaving his creepy room. Great. I became friends with a maniac. Huh. A maniac and a psychopath. What could go wrong?
