where we left off

Wednesday makes her way up the stairwell, goes down the hall and stops in front of her dorm room. one she shared with her roommate, Enid Sinclair. Wednesday had been thinking about Enid throughout the break, she wasn't sure why, but she did think about the werewolf quite a few times in the day. one would even say she missed the sound of Enid's canines grinding in her sleep.

she lets out a shaky sigh, a pit feeling in her stomach emerges as she puts her hand on the door knob. she shakes her head and swings the door open. Enid turns around from her desk, the same way she did when they had first been introduced to each other.

her ocean blue eyes making contact with Wednesday's dark brown ones. the blonde smiles widely at the sight of her roommate's arrival, she gets up and runs toward Wednesday. Wednesday takes the gift her mother gave her and held it up in the air as Enid runs into the girl, hugging her. Wednesday hugs Enid back with her one free hand.

that feeling in her stomach is back. the feeling of her intestines knotting, the heat rising to her cheeks was back too, but not the skin burning kind. Enid pulls away, still smiling. the feeling still lingers.

"i didn't think you were going to come back" Enid says in disbelief

"neither did i." Wednesday responds with a bit more tone in her voice, as opposed to how she talks to everyone else

"while we were on break i made these!" Enid tells Wednesday as she rushes back to her desk

Wednesday walks over to her own and places the gift down. she turns around and looks at Enid who was walking toward her side of the room, something in her hands. as Enid got closer to Wednesday, she showed her what she has.

"i made us matching bracelets! well obviously they aren't matching because of the colours, but i couldn't make yours in colour, but they resemble us!" Enid smiles happily

Wednesday takes her black bracelet from Enid's grasp. the charms 'E' and 'S' dangle from it as Wednesday looks at the bracelet.

"Enid, are these not your initials?" Wednesday questions

"i figured since we can't wear the same colored bracelets, that we'll just wear each other's initials" Enid explains as she holds up one with Wednesday's initials on it

Wednesday looks back and forth between Enid and the black bracelet with white letter charms.

"if you don't like it, it's okay, i-i can take it" Enid says, a hint of disappointment and embarrassment in her voice

"no." Wednesday responds instantly "will you help me put it on?"

Enid smiles excitedly as Wednesday hands her the bracelet back and puts her arm out. as Enid ties the bracelet onto Wednesday's wrist, Wednesday watches the girl intently tie it with care. the feeling in her stomach became stronger.

"and...done!" Enid exclaims, she holds out her bracelet to Wednesday "can you put mine on?"

Wednesday takes the bracelet from the girl and Enid puts her hand out. Wednesday ties the bracelet onto her wrist, but as she does, she sees a hint of a different color compared to Enid's actual skin tone.

"Enid, what are you covering up?" Wednesday questions

"hm?" Enid hums

Wednesday drags Enid into the bathroom in their dorm, she turns the faucet on and runs her hand under the water. she then takes that same hand and rubs it on the patch of weird skin. a pigment, the same color as Enid's skin comes off, a scar is revealed, although healed, still very visible.

"where is this from?" Wednesday's voice goes soft

"from when i was fighting Tyler" Enid pulls her arm away

"from when you saved me?" Wednesday questions

the wolf nods her head and looks away from Wednesday.

"why are you hiding your scars?" Wednesday asks

Enid walks out of the bathroom and Wednesday follows.

"because Wens, they're embarrassing. i don't feel like i look good with them and it's easier to just cover them up for my sake."

Enid's answer made Wednesday feel something different. it wasn't pity, it wasn't sorrow. the feeling was guilt. she's the reason Enid feels this way, but in a way she also felt hurt.

"Enid," Wednesday says as she grabs Enid's hand "you shouldn't hide them. you did a good thing, something you should be proud of."

"i am proud." Enid turns around and faces Wednesday "i just- i'm not going to have a social life if i don't cover them up. people are just going to judge."

"if they do, i will bludgeon them to death and make sure they're unrecognizable."
