a/n: first story I ever wrote, I want to crush some hearts.
Enid's POV:
I'm walking to the coffee shop alone, where my friends are waiting for me. Wednesday was invited but bailed last minute. People have been saying that she might be hanging out with Xavier, maybe even go on dates with him. If it's that, I'm happy for her but I somehow feel like he is a bit.. sketchy. She could've at least told me. She's been avoiding me recently, which is not that surprising knowing her but it's been a couple weeks now.
As I enter the coffee shop, I notice my friends sat on a table in a corner. Ajax notices me and smiles, waving for me to come over. I smile back and walk to the table.
"Hi Enid." Yoko says in a monotone voice, her face turned to me.
"Hi everyone!" I say as I look around, with a smile on my face.
"Hey babe." Ajax says as he gently grabs my hand. "Sit next to me."
He shifts on his chair, making space for me. I sit next to him and softly squeeze his hand.
Yoko and Divina look at each other.
"Where's Wednesday?" Asked Divina.
Everyone looks at me and I look around, a bit nervous.
"I.. I don't know. She said she was busy." I answer as I look down.
"Shame." Bianca said as everyone looked away from me. "I thought she would hang out with us for once."
I keep my head down, nervously biting my lip. Ajax notices and pats my hand.
"You okay?" He whispers.
I nod and slowly look at him, I give him a small smile.
"You guys think she's with Xavier?" Divina asks.
"Maybe." Bianca answers. "They did go to the Rave'N Dance together."
I look at them as they speak.
"What if they're dating?"
"Wednesday would never date Xavier." Yoko intervenes. Her voice is still monotone. "That would be quite unusual for her."
I find myself smiling for a second.
"Enid."
I look up and stare blankly at Bianca.
"Do you know anything about them?"
I feel everyone looking at me once again. I shake my head.
"No."
Everyone stays silent for a second yet it feels like ages.
"No?" Divina asks. "Really? I thought that you guys were close."
I shrug.
"Did you guys argue again?" Yoko asks, hesitating for a second.
"I.." I pause. "Not really. But she's been quite distant recently."
Everyone exchanges looks at each other.
"Well, she is Wednesday Addams, so.." Bianca says.
"Yeah, you shouldn't worry about it too much." Divina reassures me.
I sigh.
"Are you sure you're okay? Should we get some fresh air?" Ajax asks me quietly.
I shake my head.
"I'm okay, I don't need to."
Ajax looks at me, a small sight of disappointment in his eyes.
"Okay." He says.
I look at everyone and as soon as I do, everyone looks away. I look around nervously and then stare at Ajax. He is looking forward, at the table. I look down and the awkwardness increases.
