Wenclair - The Monster I'm Afraid of

Chapter 4

POV WEDNESDAY

It had been a little over a week since Enid had sentenced that she would no longer bother her, things had strangely turned out as she expected since the blonde was the one who had resolved to stay away but still it was still complicated, everything was torturous and not the kind of torture she enjoyed. Because now her martyrdom involved longing, nostalgia and jealousy, it was ironic how she could miss someone so much when she was only a few meters away, but it was not her presence that she demanded but everything she implied, she felt the imperious need to hear her laughter, to listen to her voice chattering for hours; to see her dance to that annoying music, to feel how she rested her head on his shoulder or his lap while she read, the warmth of her hugs, to share the free time, she needed the usual Enid but she had once again spoiled things, she had corrupted what they had; Enid didn't look at her like the rest of her classmates, she didn't look at her anymore, she limited himself to greet her and when she wasn't doing one of her many activities, she met with one of her classmates, which was annoying, but not as much as when she was with Ajax, the time that until a few days ago was for the two of them was now shared with the boy and she could feel her blood boiling with every touch, approach or physical contact they had, it was obvious that the young man's intentions were not only friendly and that made her feel sick; Maybe it was time to listen to Tanaka and not waste opportunities so she decided that she would no longer fight against her instincts, because she could stand many things but something that exceeded her resistance was to see how they courted the lycanthrope, she closed her book and stood up with the clear intention of retaliating against the gorgon but she was interrupted before starting her task.

“They look good together, don't they?” said Xavier, who apparently had noticed where Wednesday's gaze was directed. She just remained silent with her gaze fixed on her target. “I was thinking you could be of help" interrupted the young man once again. “Ajax wants to get Enid back, you know, but he's not quite sure about what she feels, so he's afraid of making a wrong step and she'll walk away" he commented, catching the goth's gaze this time "And since you're Enid's best friend, I considered the possibility that you could enlighten us with the answer" he concluded with a pathetic smile on his face.

“What makes you think I want to help you?” questioned the psychic, turning to walk away from the scene.

“Come on Wednesday, it's not that hard" pleaded the boy as he followed the black-haired girl who was leaving at a fast pace.

“I prefer the ordeal of the wheel" she said, annoyed.

“I promised to help Ajax”

“Do not include me”

“Just give us a clue!” he insisted enthusiastically.

“I'm not going to help you”

“Is Enid interested... Yes, no, maybe?”

“Only someone more idiotic than him wouldn't notice the fact that she deserves better”

“Why do you always have to ruin things?” He growled angrily as he grabbed the young woman's arm roughly so that she stopped dead in her tracks. 

“Let go of me”

“I told you I promised my friend”

“It's your problem and even if I knew the answer I wouldn't tell you”

“I've always been good to you, I'm there when you need me, and you can't do me a simple favor" he said with obvious annoyance.

“I didn't ask you for anything”

“You're a real bitch Wednesday. You are garbage…”

“Let me go, Xavier" she ordered as she tried to break free from his grip.
