I Want To See Which Body Part Tastes The Sweetest

Part 2

WEDNESDAY

Enid I don't have time for a break. I am swamped with work, we have exams in 3 days, this is our final year... I don't have time for... whatever... this is...

She turns to walk out but Enid grabs her hand

ENID

Please... stay... of course I can't make you stay... or can I?

Wednesday turns slightly towards Enid, her face neutral but one eyebrow slowly raises

WEDNESDAY

and exactly what do you mean by that?

Enid smiles with a smirk

ENID

Well I never would've questioned you before. I personally thought you were a bad ass. I mean the whole school is scared of you... but I've learnt that somebody who sits typing away at her desk, scared about failing, scared about exams, worried about her future... isn't quite as bad ass as she would have everyone believe. I'm starting to think you can be quite manipulated actually Wednesday

Wednesday turns entirely so she's facing Enid head on

WEDNESDAY

Take it back. Immediately.

ENID

Stay with me... *pauses* immediately

She smiles sweetly and pulls Wednesdays hand towards herself where she finally let's go but places it on the small of Wednesdays back. She gently pushes her towards the nest she so proudly made

ENID

We have drinks and snacks... like SO many snacks because I didn't want to disappoint you by getting the wrong thing and Oh the laptop is for movies and shows, your choice of course... but I know Netflix just released that docu series about the Jericho Cannibal...

She sits Wednesday down on the duvets, Wednesday notices she'd put foam mats underneath, it was surprisingly comfortable. Wednesday raises her eyebrows at Enid's suggestions

WEDNESDAY

I do find cannibals fascinating. It's a shame they transferred him to St Albans, I had requested for an interview...

She sighs and Enid smiles

ENID

To think I started Nevermore worrying about whether my roommate would steal my shit or have awful music taste... never occurred to me she could be interested in people who eat people.

She giggles and sits next to Wednesday leaning her arm around her shoulders and squeezing them.

ENID

Don't worry.. *she pauses and makes eye contact* I don't have a single regret, you're the best person for me. I don't doubt it

Wednesdays face doesn't move but Enid can see Wednesday's feelings as if they were displayed on her face like an art exhibit. Wednesday grabs at the popcorn and a packet of Oreo's, leaving Enid beaming from ear to ear

WEDNESDAY

Well? Don't waste my time Enid... load up the Netflix. I want to see which body part tastes the sweetest

Enid cringes

Camera pans around the dark crypt. The only light that is visible is the soft luminance of a laptop screen, gently casting shadows with every scene. We see empty wrappers scattering the floor. Messy blankets and duvets. Wednesday lays amongst them, eyes fixed on the screen, eyebrows frowning in concentration. Enid, arms sprawled, mouth open, fast asleep.

WEDNESDAY

Well one thing is clear. The only victims was him

Enid's eyes open and she jumps at Wednesdays voice

ENID

YES. Absolutely agree. Totally think the same as you... yes to that

Wednesday stifles a smirk

WEDNESDAY

That is the safest option... being that you've been snoring loudly for the last 90 minutes and I'm almost certain you wouldn't be able to recall a single persons name?

Enid screws up her face and rolls towards Wednesday pulling her into a hug. Wednesday doesn't move but she doesn't push her away either. She just allows Enid to embrace her as she does from time to time.

ENID

There was a Sidney...

WEDNESDAY

...Stanley

ENID

Crap. I'm sorry Wednesday, it got a bit icky for me if I'm honest

Wednesday rolls her eyes but smiles as Enid covers her eyes and dramatically fakes a gagging sound
