18. Date

Wednesday's POV:

Classes have came to an end, as I wait for Enid outside. We were supposed to walk back to the dorm together, but I guess she's going with Casey. Again. I sighed, as I started walking towards my and Enid's shared dorm, I soon enter the room and notice Thing on my desk "Hello, Thing" I mumble in my monotone voice Hi, Wednesday, where's Enid? "She's off with Casey." Who's Casey? "A guy she likes" I reply, my tone sounding rather annoyed, as I sit down at my desk, staring at my typewriter, I haven't been writing my novel as much as I'd like to. I sigh again, as I think for a moment and start tapping the keys, continuing my novel Are you jealous? Thing signed, I looked at him offendendly "What or who am I supposed to be jealous of?" You know.. That guy named Casey, aren't you jealous that Enid's spending time with him? I've seen the way you look at her, you like her. I stare at him in disbelief, my jaw dropping slightly "That's nonsense, you're delusional, I do not permit such feelings as love."

Don't lie to yourself, Wednesday, you know you like her. Why do you keep pretending like you don't? Just accept your feelings. "Even so, what will it change? She'll never choose me, I'm not even close to Casey, she likes him, not me." I continue to write, ignoring Thing and what he has to say How do you know that? Did she tell you that? No. Why don't you give it a try and ask her out? "No way, I'm never confessing my feelings to anyone" Wednesday, you're an Addams, do you really think you'll escape the curse? You've gotten it already, there's no way to get rid of your feelings now. Thing was right, there's no way to get rid of the Addams family's curse, I hated the fact that he was right, as I chose to ignore him and continue writing my novel You can't ignore me forever, you know what I said was true, accept the curse. "I already told you, I'm never confessing my feelings to her, she doesn't like me and never will. The curse is stupid"

Just then, the door opens and Enid walks in, holding a tray of food "Hey, Weds! I got you some lunch" I turn to Thing "Not. One. Word." I whisper, as he gives me a thumbs-up, Enid walks over to my desk and sets the tray on it "Here, I got you something you'd like, in my opinion. This soup is really good, I hope you like it" She says, a bright smile on her face, I pick up the spoon full of the soup and put it in my mouth, it was surprisingly good "Do you like it?" I nod "Yes, I do quite like it. The taste of it is strangely good" I reply, I don't usually like the school's food, but this particular soup wasn't that bad "I'm glad you like it" She smiled again, as I suddenly got a notification, which displayed on the screen, Unknown. I grab my phone and press on the notification

Unknown: Are you ready to get your black heart broken, Wednesday?

I stared at the message and thought about what it meant, I frowned, it could honestly mean anything

Wednesday: What do you mean?

Unknown: Wouldn't you like to know? Guess you'll have to wait til tonight to find out. That is a hint on who I am, Wednesday, use your brain. ;)

Wednesday: Nothing will make my heart "break", you're delusional, I do not permit feelings, therefore you can't hurt them.

Unknown: Everybody had feelings, Addams, even you. I know you like Enid and I'll make sure to get your little heart to ache

I stared at the message again, not knowing what unknown meant by that. They were right about the part about me liking Enid. "Who's that?" The lycan asks, as I quickly hide my phone "Noone, just a random person.. that.. texted me?" I definitely wasn't about to let her know about the stalker situation, I didn't want to worry her. It's best if I keep quiet about it for her sake "Okay..?" She replied in a skeptical tone, before skipping over to her side of the room "I'm so excited for my date today!" She said excitedly, I had completely forgotten about the date with Casey, I could feel my face heating up in anger "Oh! I forgot to show you my dress!" She then quickly ran over to a bag beside her bed, taking out a cherry red dress, it looked beautiful, I was sure she'd look amazing in it.

She then put it in front of herself "What do you think?" I stare at her, feeling the spiders in my stomach crawl again "You look beautiful" I mumble, as she smiles again "Thanks, Wenny" She winks at me and lays the dress on her bed.

Enid's POV:

As I set the dress down, I got a text from Casey. I immediately picked my phone up

Casey: Hey Enid just wanted to ask if ur still coming to the date?

Enid: Ofc! I'm waiting for u to come pick me up lol I'm getting ready right now

Casey: Oh kk I'll be there in 20 k?

Enid: Sure byeee

I smiled slightly, before turning my phone off and walking over to my desk to touch up my make-up. After I finished with the make-up, I sat down on my bed and started changing into the dress. I stood up and looked at myself in the mirror, I thought for a moment about how I look, smiling at myself "Okay, I'm leaving" I say to the raven, as she gives me a nod and I skip out the door, closing it behind me. Casey was standing outside, wearing a simple, all black outfit. I smile at him, as he reaches his hand out for me to take and I, of course, take it "Ready to go?" He asks and I nod "Of course!" We start walking down the hall, walking down the stairs to the lobby of the school. It looks like he already asked Weems to let us off the school grounds, because we were leaving the school area. We walked to the nearest bus stop and waited for the bus, which goes to Jericho to come.

"Are we going to Jericho?" I ask and he nods "Yep, they opened a new restaurant, so I thought we could to there" I smile again "Oh, okay, sure!"

————————————————————————20 minutes later

We finally arrived at the new restaurant that Casey was talking about, it looked pretty elegant from the outside, he leaded me inside and it looked even better, candles and roses on every table, it looked very romantic, which I liked. He then pointed to a table next to the window "That's our table, I reserved it for us" I smile at his words, he thought about everything. We walked over to the table he was pointing at and sat down on opposite sides. A waiter came up to us and Casey ordered food for the both of us, which was a little weird, since I didn't even get to say anything to the waiter. "So, how are you?" He asked, staring intensely at me "Oh, um.. I'm good, what about you?" "Well, now that you're here, I'm better" I nervously laugh at his response "Oh, haha.. that's.. that's good"

I guess he noticed my nervousness, 'cause he asked me if I was okay, to which I replied: "Yeah! I'm fine, just a bit nervous in such a big place with so many people" I made up a lie, I was actually nervous, because I didn't really feel comfortable around him..
