enid's POV:

"enid get your ass up we're here!" i hear my mother yell as she shakes me, i slowly open my eyes and let them adjust to the light, i look around seeing my mother standing outside my door, my father grabbing my bags from the boot and my brothers on their phones,

i sigh and get out the car "finally, you got so lazy over the break, mabey you can burn off all that fat" my mother says pointing at my stomach, my hands instinctively cover my stomach as she looks back at my father, i look over and see my father looking through the boots "honey which ones yours?" he says looking up at me "i told you to stop calling her that" my mother says as the small smile i did have shrunk,

i walk over to my dad and point out my things, i don't have much since my mother threw most of my stuff out making room for my brothers, my dad hands me my things with a small smile, i know he loves me i just wish he would show it more "i love you pumpkin" he whispers as i give him a small smile, i look back at my mother who was still looking at her phone "bye mum" i say trying to get her attention,

she doesn't even look at me. i watch as she turns around and gets in the car, i nod and look down as my father gets in the car aswell, i watch as the car gets futher and futher away "love you too" i mutter as i turn back to the school, i wipe away the tears that managed to slip out adn put on the best smile i could,

i head into the school hoping no one would talk to me, i don't think i can keep up a smile for any longer, i wave at the students i know and rush past the ones i don't "enid" i hear someone yell as tears form in my eyes, i sigh before turning around, i see yoko walking up to me with a smile on her face, i usually would love to see her but not right now, she brings me in for a hug as i feel my leg start to shake "how are you?" she asks her excitement showing,

"im okay but im really sorry i've got to unpack" i say turning around "oh okay" i hear yoko say as i rush down the hall and to my dorm, i open the door and look around, good wednesday's not here yet, i feel the tears start to fall as my knees gve way, as i fall to the floor i remember all the times i needed my parents, i roll over and stare at the ceiling, i can't do this on the first day, not today.

i hold my breath for as long as i can before releasing it, i feel my breathing start to return to a normal pase as i slowly get up, i look in the mirror noticing my mascara is ruined, i grab my bag and look for my makeup wipes, i walk to the mirror as u begin to clean up my face, i reach into my bag again looking for the mascara to reapply it but the doorknob stops me, i turn toward the door seeing it open,

i really hope it isn't yoko or a teacher, i glance in the mirror one last time before putting that smile on again, i watch as the dor opens, i wait a second, i wait another second,

i get confused, i walk to the door and look outside only to b met with wednesday right it my face with most of her stuff, i take a step back as she walks to her room with a bit of a struggle, she has a  lot of things, she puts them next to her bed before standing up still panting "well that's my workout done" she says wiping the sweat off her forehead, she catches her breath before looking at me, we stare at eachother blankly for a second before she speaks,

"hello enid" as she says that i swear i hear just a little bit of softness in her voice, im probably just imagining it "enid?" i snap out of it and look up at her, didn't even realise i was looking down "hi wednesday" i respond, she nods before turning back to her pile of stuff "ah yes, i almost forgot, i got you something" she says turning around "really? you didn't have to" i say a small smile growing on my face, probably the first real smile i've had since last year,

i walk closer as she grabs something out of her pocket, it's wrapped in back wrapping paper with a really pretty black bow on it, she hands it to me as i carefully take it not wanting to ruin the wrapping paper "thank you wednesday" i say as she raises an eyebrow "you haven't even opened it" she says as i smile at her, i untie the bow and put it on my nightstand, as i start unwrapping it i see wednesday get closer "it's not made of glass you know" she says gesturing to the way i was unwrapping it,

just before i take off the wrapping paper i hear wednesday speak again "i noticed your one was all cracked and almost not working, i don't get how you could even use it" she says softly, i look at her confused before looking back down and taking the wrapping paper off, i gasp as i see she got me an iphone 15 pro (is that a thing?) i look up at her before looking back down at the present "wednesday no, i can't take that, it's too much" i say handing it back,

she gives me a confused look "it's not too much it's just a phone" she says pushing it back to me "no it's to much money, i can't pay you back" i say pushing it towards her again "you don't have to pay me back, it's a present to show how much i car- it's a present" she says after clearing her throat and pushing it back to me "plus, if you don't take it, it's just a waste of money" "it's a waste of money anyway" i mutter recalling when my mother told everyone not to get me anything because it was a 'waste of money'  

"it's not a waste of money if it's for you" i hear wednesday say as she turns around again "what was that?" i say stepping next to her "nothing" "thank you wednesday" i say as she turns to me, she nods and before she can turn back around i grab her and pull her into a hug, i feel her tense up before slowly melting into it and hugging me back,

*knock knock*

i pull away at the sound, i see her give me a slight smile, but before i can look at it she turns away, i turn to the door and go to open it "hey babe" ajax says "still not dating" i say as he frowns "not yet" he muters as i roll my eyes "anyway what did you need?" i say leaning on the doorframe "i got you and wednesday a brownie if you guys want it" he says looking past me to wednesday,

i frown at the way he looked at her "thanks" i say taking them and shutting the door on him, i walk over to wednesday and hand her the brownies before walking away to my side "what kind of guy doesn't know his crush doesn't like chocolate" i hear wednesday mutter "how did you know that?" i say looking up from my bed "what?" "that i don't like chocolate, i haven't told anyone"

she rolls her eyes at  me before speaking "you don't exactly hide it" with that she turns back around to unpack, i didn't realise she noticed, i feel my cheeks start to heat up at the thought of her noticing,
