Wednesday’s POV

Returning back to Nevermore is like returning back to a crime scene.

It’s probably why I like it here.

I walk inside my room and I saw there was a lot of people and two of them were making out in my bed.

Gross.

Enid smiles when she sees me and she walks up to me.

”Howdy roomie.” She says happily and I can feel the moths moving in my stomach.

I thought that I had feelings for Tyler but after we kissed I realized that I wasn’t attracted to him or guys at all.

After we kissed I realized I didn’t want to date a guy, I wanted to date a girl—I want to date one girl in particular.

I grew close with Enid and I realize then that I developed feelings for her but I don’t plan on telling her yet.

She told the others to leave and they listen and left.

I could tell by looking at her that she missed me just as much as I missed her.

She was asking me questions about my summer and she even told me about her summer and she even gifted me a gift.

Luckily it wasn’t a snood but I wasn’t a fan of shirts that has puns to literally references.

”I have a gift for you as well.” I told her and she lights. I had a small smile as I handed her the doll that contained the hair of the eleventh victim of the kanas scalper. The doll reminded me of her and I wanted her to know that.

She looked creeped out as I handed it to her and I found that expression of hers cute.

”Uh, thank you. The hair is super soft.”

”It’s made of human hair.” Enid looks so creeped out but she still have the doll in her hands.

No one ever kept my gift for this long, I did a good job of picking it out.

This year I’m going to make Enid Sinclair mine no matter what.

Pugsley’s POV

This year is going to be different from the other years.

At my old schools I was seen as a freak that was weaker than the normies so they decided to pick on me.

I was lonely for years but maybe this year will be different.

Maybe this time I’ll actually have friends.

I met my roommate a few minutes ago and it seems like he doesn’t like me. I don’t blame him after all I’m pretty odd.

My roommate’s name is Eugene and I heard about him from Wednesday. She saved him from bullies a few times just like she did when she was in my schools. Apparently she even visited him when he was in a coma after getting attack by the Hyde.

He seems like an interesting person.

I wanted to make friends here so I decided that he will be my first friend in this school—actually he’ll be the first friend I’ll ever have.

You can’t get rid of me Eugene, I will be your friend even if you find me odd.

Enid’s POV

It feels good to return back to Nevermore, I get to see my friends but more importantly I get to see Wednesday again.

I thought that I only liked boys but after I met Wednesday I realized then that I also like girls. I dated Ajax for a while but we quickly realized that we were better off as friends.

I wanted to tell Wednesday about my feelings for her but I decided not to because I wasn’t sure how she would react and I didn’t want to lose my friendship with her.

I was currently hanging out with Bruno but it seems like he wasn’t even paying attention to me.

”Bruno?”

He didn’t answer and I was getting annoyed because why is he so distracted?

He was staring at someone with love in his eyes and I click my tongue in understandment.

Aw Bruno has a crush on someone. I need to set him up on a date with his crush.

I pinched him hard in his arm and he winced in pain and stared at me in anger.

”What the fuck Enid! That hurts!”

”Who’s the lucky girl?” I asked and he looks at me confused.

”What are you talking about?”

”You’re literally distracted by something and I can see in your eyes that you have a crush on someone. So who’s the lucky girl?”

Bruno’s face turns red from embarrassment but he nods his head to the direction of where his crush is.

”Oh.” I said when I saw that his crush wasn’t girl.

”You have a crush on Ajax.”

”Yes.”

I squeal and shook his arm and he laughs.

”You two would look so cute together!”

We spend the next hour talking our crushes; I gave him advice about how to talk to him and he gave me tips on how to flirt without making it obvious that I’m flirting.

I’m having fun and in the corner of my eye I was able to see Ajax and Wednesday talking to each other but they were doing it so secretly and Ajax kept looking over his shoulder, he was acting paranoid for some reason.

Weird.

Eugene’s POV

I was a dick to my roommate and I’m trying to make amends.

Pugsley Addams is a cute and interesting person but I was so rude to him when we met.

I still have trauma from when I was attacked by the Hyde and when Pugsley said that it was cool that I had nightmares about the Hyde I just felt disturbed but I shouldn’t have acted rude towards him.

He seems like a good person.

I found him sitting in his bed and I sat down next to him.

”Hi.” I said and he looks up at me.

“Hello.”

”I wanted to apologize for being rude earlier. You didn’t deserve that.”

“It’s fine, I’m used to it.”

 I got up from the bed and I walked over to my tank and I grab one of my bugs and sat back on his bed.

I can’t believe I’m doing this.

I gave him the bug.

”I hope we can start over.” He smiles and grabbed the bug from my hand.

”I thought you didn’t want me to eat your bugs.”

”I don’t but this will be my one exception.”

I look away and scrunched my face as I heard a squishing sound.

It’s gross to hear my bug being eaten. I’m sorry poor bug.

“Thank you Eugene.”

”You’re an odd person Pugsley but I think that’s what makes you interesting.”

There’s a small blush on his face and I smile at the sight.

He’s cute when he blushes.

Wednesday’s POV

Ajax is a idiotic gorgon.

How dare he assume that I like Bruno. Does it look like I would have a crush on someone with no brains and only brawns.

Enid came back into the dorm and her eyes were glued on her phone. I should be focusing on the person who’s been stalking me since summer break but I could only focus on Enid. She was smiling and laughing as she was texting someone.

Who is she talking to? Did she already move on from Ajax and found someone else?

I’m the type of person who enjoys pain and torture but I hated the way that she was happy talking to someone that wasn’t me.

She’s mine and she needs to know that.

I walked up to her and I grabbed the phone from her hand.

”Wednesday what are you doing?”

I caught a glimpse of who she’s texting.

”Why are you talking to Bruno?” I asked and she grabbed her phone out of my hand.

”He’s apart of the pack and he’s a friend.”

”Do you like him?”

She sets her phone down on the bed.

”As in a romantic way?” She asks.

”Yes, do you like him?”

”No he’s just a friend.”

I let out a sigh in relief.

”Why would you ask me that?”

”You were laughing and smiling.”

She chuckles.

”That’s because he’s helping me with something.”

Thing came up behind me and he jumps up and pushes me causing me to bumped into her and we fell to the ground.

My body was on top of Enid and our lips were inches away.

”Thing!” Enid says as Thing went to another corner of the room. She laughs.

”Are you okay Wednesday?”

I didn’t answer her, instead I press my lips against hers and she gasps but she didn’t pull away from the kiss. She wraps her arms around my waist and I couldn’t stop kissing her.

She’s an amazing kisser.

She makes a little sound as I pulled away from her lips and I started to kiss her neck. I kissed her collarbone when I suddenly got a vision.

”Wednesday!” That was the last thing I heard before everything was blank.

I was standing in a graveyard, there were birds standing on top of two gravestones. The gravestones had the names of the people I care about.

Enid Sinclair and Eugene Ottinger.

”We died because of you.” That was Enid’s voice. “We died because of you. We died because of you.”

Someone turned me around and I was now standing face to face with Enid.

She had blood pouring down her head and her claws dig into my arms. She was looking at me in pure hatred.

”We died because of you!” She yelled out in fury and in the distance I see Eugene standing in one of the trees. He had blood pouring down his head as well.

The girl I love and the friend I care about died. All because of me. I was the monster who got them killed.

Eugene’s POV

There’s a lot that I could say about Pugsley Addams, he’s reckless at times, he’s weird, and he’s not always the brightest but that what makes him unique. We started becoming close the last few days and I already can’t imagine my life without him.

Every time I see him I want to kiss him but I push that feeling down because I know that he only wants to be friends.

Pugsley drags me to the hummers shack.

”I’m not complaining but what are we doing here?”

”I got a surprise to show but you have to keep it a secret.” He says excitedly as he opens the shack and he drags me inside.

”Holy shit!” I mumbled under my breath as I stared at a zombie with a chain in his arm.

Pugsley walks up to the Pugsley and I was feeling anxious as I pulled out my inhaler.

Please don’t hurt him.

He moves a piece of clothing away, revealing the zombie’s robotic heart.

”That’s the boy from skull tree.”

Ajax’s story is actually true? I can’t believe this.

”I restarted his clock heart with my powers.”

He looked so proud saying that. How is he not panicking right now?

I was about to say something when Enid burst inside in a panic.

”Is that a zombie?” She asked and Pugsley was about to respond when Enid cuts him off.

”That doesn’t matter right now, Wednesday started bleeding black blood from her eyes and she had a seizure.”

Both Pugsley and I froze.

”Is she okay?” I asked worryingly.

”I don’t know she passed out right after the seizure but she was still bleeding from her eyes.

”Take us to her.” We ran following Enid, slamming the shack down shut.

Please don’t die Wednesday.

Enid’s POV 

Tears poured down my cheek as I was waiting for Wednesday to wake up.

One moment we were kissing and the next she started having a seizure.

I was so worried about her, I felt like my heart stopped when I saw her eyes bleeding.

She gasps, eyes widening as she sat up from the couch.

I let out a sigh of relief, placing a hand over my chest.

”Thank god you’re alive. I thought I lost you.”

”I’m still alive unfortunately.”

She flinches when I tried to hug her so I pulled away.

”Sorry.” I mutter.

”You got some blood.” Eugene says pointing his eyes and Wednesday wiped away the blood.

”I’m fine.” She says. “I think it’s best if you both stay away from me, especially you Enid.”

My heart dropped.

“What?”

”I don’t want to see either of you again.”

This doesn’t make sense, why is she acting like this?

”But we ki—“

”It was a mistake.” She says, cutting me off. “I clearly wasn’t thinking. What we did was clearly a mistake.”

It wasn’t a mistake to me.

I nod while looking at her sadly. She had no emotions in her eyes.

“I see. I’ll leave you alone, have a nice life Wednesday.”

I left with tears in my eyes. I was trying not to break down but it seems like I failed because after I slammed the door I collapse to the ground and started to cry.

Why does this hurt so much?
