mon amor | Wednesday ocxoc|

Valentina's POV:

When everyone is pinned against you pretty much your whole life, you get used to it. When I was younger I had this idea that when I came to Nevermore all will be okay because they have their own weirdness to them.

They have their own stories that are similar to me, but that idea that was in my head shattered as soon as I arrived. Everyone feared me, everyone was convinced I was to hurt them, to kill them more like.

At first I couldn't understand why it was that people would avoid me and look at me as if I murdered their whole family, but then I realized.. it's not because they simply don't like me.
It's because they don't like who I could be, they didn't take time to get to know me so they got scared of the possibilities.

When I was younger I was very confused, hurt that people would treat me this way. I felt so much that I started to feel nothing. Ms Weems even started to send me to therapy once she realized that the anti socialization was happening, assuming that because it seems everyone hated me so much I'd be sad about it.

Now I just don't give a fuck, I've told my therapist Ms. Kinbott that what others think of me does not affect me but she does not believe me for a second for some reason.

So now once again, I'm in a therapy session with her.. sitting in silence and just staring at each other. She clears her throat as I stare at her unmoving, "well time is almost up, is there anything you want to talk about before you leave?" She asks.

I continue to stare making her shift in her seat before standing up and nodding her head. "Well then, time is up you may leave now" she says making me nod my head and go over to the door. As I open it I see Wednesday and Malikai standing there, Wednesday with her fist up as if she was about to knock.

I nod at her before squeezing my way out of the door frame, "Wednesday! Malikai! Nice to meet you" I start hearing as I'm leaving when I feel a hand being placed on my arm. I turn and see Malikai looking at me with a worried glance, I nod at him as if to tell him I'll speak to him later before we both head our separate ways.

Once I get out of the building I see Ms Weems sitting in her van making me roll my eyes before making my way over to the cafe across the street. There I see Tyler struggling with the espresso machine making me huff out in annoyance.

"Do you have any chocolate chip muffins left?" I ask making him jump up in place, not expecting me to be there. "Uh yea here" he says while looking into the display and reaching in to grab it. I hand him my money and walk over to a small booth in the corner.

Moments later I see Wednesday and Malikai walking through the door with small un noticeable smirks on their faces, I assume they escaped therapy as I've done many times when I first started going before I realized that no matter how times I left, I still had to go.

I see Malikai looking around and I look back down at the book that was in my bag that I took out to read earlier, I hear footsteps and see Malikai sit down across from me. "Hi" I mumble as I continue to read.

"So.." he mumbles making me put my book down so I could give him all of my attention, "Ms. Weems has me see her cause she thinks I'm sad about people not hanging out with me, she thinks I'm lonely or whatever so she wanted me to talk to someone.. completely useless but it's whatever" I state as he nods his head in understanding.

"You really don't mind that they're scared of you to the point of not talking to you?" He asks as I shake my head, "I don't care anymore, when I was younger I did but I got used to it" I say making his eyebrows furrow.

"Hm.. well you aren't getting rid of me any time soon so prepare yourself to have someone talking to you every day" he teases making a slight smile form on my face. "Good to know" I say while glancing over at Wednesday who is now helping Tyler with the espresso machine.

"You should know Weems will be in here soon" I state making him nod his head. Wednesday walks over to a different table and begins to drink her freshly made espresso when a group of townies walk in and see her at "their table" I huff and start to stand up before Malikai's hand reaches for my own.

"She can handle herself love" he states making me sitting down next to him instead of across from him. "Okay.. also can I call you Kai?" I ask with a tilt of my head. "What is Malikai too long for the princess" he says with a sarcastic tone making me laugh out loud.

"Yes actually lots of work to say it all" I state while placing my head in my hands as I look over at him, I quickly see Tyler rushing over to Wednesday making me sit up straight to see what's going on.

He lets out a huff when all of a sudden the sheriff
walks in.. I already know this isn't going to end well so I stand up just incase anything happens. Malikai following what I do while making sure to grab my bag incase we have to leave.

Suddenly Ms. Weems walks in and de escalates the situation before having us all leave, of course we get in trouble while the normies just get a "are you okay" talk.. complete bullshit.

On the car ride back to school I feel a breath on my neck while Malikai leans in to say, "call me whatever you'd like my love" he says making my face flush as I try to avoid looking at him for the rest of the ride.
