You're Peculiar (Enoch O'connor X Reader)

Chapter 9

Y/N's pov

While I and Olive had a great talk at the grasses, I suddenly realized that i'm starting get out from my shell, i'm no longer an introvert when i'm with her. She's a great kind of friend to be with.

But after my conversation with her, she unanticipatedly turned quiet and more silent.

"Hey Olive! I think you are thinking something? Is it a good or a bad thing" I tried to caught her attention as she stared at the thin air. Her thoughts might be roaming around on her little mind.

"Oh. Nothing. Eating this apple just made me thrist" she spoke as she gained consciousness.

"Did you know that an apple consists of water too" I acted like a genius kid in front of her. Both of us giggled.

"Silly of me. Alright smarty pants, you see Y/N what i'm thirsting for is a glass of juice. There's a whole pitcher in the kitchen" she preffered.

I slowly stood up, my knees felt numb from sitting for a long time. I wiped some soil and grasses stuck unto my brown cottony dress.

As both of us stood up Olive held my hand and we ran all the way to the kitchen.

After that we sat on the chairs, I placed two transparent glasses above the table, one for me and one for Olive. She grab a pitcher full of orange juice and ice then she handed it to me.

The orange juice was mouthwatering, it also made me thirst. So I quickly held it by the handle and poured some on my glass.

The pitcher was a bit heavy for me, because i'm not used to lift heavy things since I always use my peculiarity, which is by lifting any objects using my mind. I accidentally spilled it at the table, it also dripped unto the floor.

The liquid also reached Olive's faded pink dress, she quickly stood up from her sit.

I wanted to apologize but a voice interuppted me.

"I'll clean it up" a familliar male voice said. He wiped the spilled juice with a clean and white cloth, but it wasn't Hugh, Millard or any of the boys. I stared at his hands until I saw his face.

It was Enoch.

"Thanks for the help, but you actually dont need to." I shyly spoke to him. I waited for his answer, but he didn't.

I felt awkward and a bit embarrassed.

My eyes stared on Olive. Unexpectedly, she didn't said a single word, she tried to look away from Enoch and me.

"I think I should dry myself" Olive's tone changed, she seemed bummed out and quickly went out of the kitchen, leaving her glass empty.

Enoch watched Olive as she left.

"What's wrong with her?" He asked while he wiped the wet table.

"I accidentally spilled some juice on her" I answered, not looking on Enoch.

Finally the table was dry. Only one-third of juice was left on the pitcher.

The whole kitchen turned dead silent as I and Enoch didn't said a thing. He then, pulled the chair infront of me and sat.

He grabbed the pitcher, it seemed to be lightweight now.

"Next time be careful in lifting things, especially this" He scolded me and poured some juice on my glass. Since Olive's glass was empty, he poured on that and drank it.

I was so silent infront of Enoch and he was too.

"Do you think Olive is mad at me?" To end the awkwardness, I asked Enoch.

"Mad at you or mad at me?" He quickly replied. There's something strange happening to them, they're not like this before.

"There are many things you don't know and you don't need to know." He added.

It wasn't clear, I didn't understand what he was talking about.

But all of a sudden...

"Y/N!!!" Someone yelled my name.
