New Years Eve- Xavier Thorpe
Tumblr media
"Here," Enid says as she hands me a flier.
"A New Year's party, really?" I ask her.
"Yup, Thornhill helped me get it approved," she tells me while still handing flier out to people.
"Party's aren't really my thing," I tell her.
"You're coming," she declared for me.
"Why do I have to?" I ask her.
"Because you are my friend and you should support my hobbies," Enid says.
"I didn't know party planning was a hobby," I say to myself.
"Fine, I'll go," I tell her.
"Great make sure you get there at 10," she tells me as she walks in the direction of another group of people. I start walking in the direction of my art class when I hear my name being called.
"Y/n," someone shouts my name. I turn around to find Ajax.
"Oh hey Ajax," I say with a smile.
"Hey," he says back a little out of breathe from having to catch up to me.
"I saw you talking to Enid," he says.
"Yeah she is forcing me to go to her New Year's party," I tell him.
"Oh do you think she uh has a date?" He asks me nervously.
"No probably not. I bet she was to busy planning the party to worry about a date," I tell him.
"Oh uh great thanks," he tells me with a smile.
"You're welcome, I'll see you tonight," I say to him as I walk into the art room and take my see beside Xavier.
"Going on a date?" He asks me with a frown.
"What?" I question confused. Then I realize he meant Ajax.
"Oh you mean Ajax. No, he was asking me if Enid had a date to her New Year's party," I tell him.
"Are you going to the party?" he asks me.
"Yeah, Enid is making me go. If I had a choice I would definitely just stay home," I tell him.
"Oh," he says looking at me with a frown.
"Are you going?" I ask him.
"Uh yeah probably," he tells me.
"At least I'll have someone to talk to at the party then," I tell him with a smile.
"Definitely," he says back. After class is over I pack up all my things and start to head back finish my homework before the party. When I look at the time I see it's almost 9 PM and I quickly start to get ready for the party. I curl my hair and decide to leave it down.  For makeup I did a natural base with just some smoked out brown eyeliner and for my outfit I chose to wear a sparkly sliver button up, a black mini skirt, and some knee high black boots. I quickly add some last minute lip gloss before heading out the door.
At the party
When I get to the party it's about 10:15. I get myself a drink then try to find Enid. When I see her she is talking to Ajax and I don't want to interrupt so I start trying to find Xavier instead. When I find him he is sitting in the corner with a drink in his hand looking at the floor.
"You know most people try to have fun at parties," I say to him as a take a seat next to him.
"Oh hey I was starting to think you stood me up," he tells me with a small smile.
"Me stand you up? Never," I tell him with a smile.
"Why are you sitting in the corner alone?" I ask him.
"I was thinking," he tells me.
"What were you thinking about?" I question.
"There is this girl I want to kiss tonight but I don't know how to tell her," he tells me with a frown.
"Don't tell her. When the ball drops just turn to her and ask to kiss her," I say back trying to make things easy for him.
"Okay," he says with a smile. For the next almost two hours Xavier and I just sit there and talk. When it's 11:55 we get up and I pull him towards the crowd of people around the TV.
"Aren't you going to go find the girl you want to kiss?" I turn and ask Xavier.
"Oh uh," he starts to say something but gets cut off by everyone screaming.
"Happy New Year," everyone screams.
"Happy New Year Xavier," I tell him with a smile.
"Happy New Year Y/n," he says.
"Can I kiss you?" He asks.
"Yeah," I whisper back as he leans into kiss me. I kiss him back right away for a couple seconds until I pull away.
"I was the girl?" I question looking into his eyes.
"Obviously," he says before he kisses me again

Movie Night- Ajax Petropolus
Tumblr media
"Want to come to my dorm later and watch a movie?" I ask Ajax as I sit down beside him at the lunch table.
"Yeah sure but we aren't watching Coraline again," he tells me.
"You say that now," I tell him back with a smirk on my face.
Later that night
Knock knock
"Dude chill out I'm coming," I shout at Ajax through the door. When I open the door Ajax is standing there with a couple bags of candy.
"You didn't have to bring anything," I tell him while grabbing the candy.
"I wanted to. Plus I brought your favorite," he says with a smile as he holds up a bag of sour gummy worms.
"You're the best," I say as I tear open the bag.
"So what do you want to watch since you are insistent on not watching the best movie ever," I say.
"Hey I never said we couldn't watch Star Wars," he says in a joking tone.
"I was talking about Coraline," I say back with a smile and an eye roll.
"Why don't we watch IT," I say as I scroll through the list of movies.
"Oh uh yeah sure," he says looking a little nervous.
"Do you not want to watch it?" I ask him while looking at him weird.
"I just don't really like horror movies," he tells me.
"Oh we don't have to watch it then it was just a suggestion," I say in a bummed out voice.
"No no it's okay we can watch it," he says as he takes the remote and presses play.
"Okay whatever you say," I say as a curl into his side and put a blanket over us. After the first 45 minutes of the movie Ajax has jumped at everything.
"We can turn it off," I tell him for the 3rd time tonight.
"No it's okay you seem to be enjoying it," he says trying to act not scared.
"No let's just turn it off I don't want to cause you to have nightmares," I say only half joking.
"Thank you," he says in relief as the movie is final off the screen.
"Do you want to watch a Disney movie?" I ask him.
"Yes please," he says with a smile.
"How about we watch Mulan," I say knowing it's one of his favorites.
"You're the best," he tells me while looking at me with a smile.
The next morning
"Hey Ajax get up," I say shaking him awake.
"Ajax," I say again.
"Ajax we fell asleep last night," I say as he finally opens his eyes.
"What?" He says in a tired confused voice.
"We fell asleep watching Mulan," I tell him as I get up.
"Oh I didn't realize," he says while also getting up.
"I'm going to go take a shower," I tell him while walking into the bathroom.
"Okay," he says still trying to wake up.
25 minutes later
"Hey do you want to go to the Weathervane?" I ask him as I come out of the bathroom.
"Yeah sure," he says.
"Okay do you want to head back to your dorm and get ready?" I ask him as I'm brushing my wet hair.
"Yeah I'll uh meet you at the entrance gate in like 30 minutes," he tells me while looking at the time.
"Alright I'll see you later," I tell him as he walks out of my dorm.
The entrance gate
"Hey Y/n," Ajax says as he see me walking towards him.
"Hey ready to go," I ask him as I link my arm with his.
"Yup," he tells me with a smile.
"Were you really that scared of IT last night," I ask him teasingly.
"Yes that movie was terrifying," he tells me not joking at all.
"I didn't realize you didn't like horror movie," I say.
"You seem like the type to love them," I tell him.
"Yeah I know but I've always been super freaked out by them," he says while kicking a rock with his foot. When we get to the Weathervane it's pretty empty with only two other people in there.
"Hey what can I get you guys?" The guys working asks while looking at us weirdly.
"One black iced coffee and one latte," Ajax tells him already knowing my order.
"$7," the barista tells him. Ajax hands him a $10 and tells him to keep the change. As we stand there waiting for our coffee I bring up outreach day.
"Hey what shop do you want to get for outreach day?" I question him just as we get our drinks.
"Um I don't know everywhere kind of sucks," he tells me.
"That's true," I say back.
"I kind of want pilgrim world though," I tell him.
"I definitely don't want to work here," I tell him.
"Yeah this places sucks to work at," he tells me speaking from experience because he had to work here last year.
"Last year I had to work at Uriah's Heap," I tells him with a disgusted look on my face.
"Oh yeah I remember that," he says laughing at my face.
"You smelled like old people for a week," he says laughing even more now.
"Hey don't be rude," I tell him fake pouting.
"It's not rude it's true," he says with another laugh as we start to head back towards Nevermore.
"You know a lot of people think we are dating," he randomly blurts out after about 5 minutes of silence.
"What?" I say confusedly with a laugh.
"Why would they think that?" I ask.
"Oh uh I don't know," he says looking at the ground.
"I didn't even know people thought that," I tell him.
"Yeah Xavier even thought we were," he says to me.
"You told him we weren't though, right?" I question him.
"Yeah yeah of course," he tells me.
"Okay good," I say relieved.
"I don't want my crush thinking I'm dating one of his closest friends," I tell him.
"I didn't know you liked Xavier," he says in a quiet voice.
"Oh yeah I guess I hadn't told you yet," I say not thinking anything of it.
"Yeah you definitely didn't," he says.
"I'm going to head back to my dorm," he tells me before walking off.
"Oh uh okay," I say confused.
"I'll see you later," I yell at him as he walks away.
Ajax’s POV
“Y/n likes you,” I say to Xavier as I walk up to him.
“What?” He says back to me with a confused look.
“She likes you she told me,” I tell him again.
“Dude no way she totally likes you,” he try’s to tell me.
“No I’m telling you she literally just told me she likes you,” I tell him trying to make him understand.
“I told her you thought we were a couple and she asked me if I told you we weren’t,” I tell him explaining what happened.
“Then she said “I can’t have my crush thinking I’m dating one of his closest friends” so yeah dude she likes you,” I tell him while quoting her.
“I didn’t know,” Xavier tells me in a quiet voice.
“Yeah well now you do,” I tell him as I sit down against the wall.
“I like her,” I tell him with my head in my hands.
“I thought she liked me back,” I say with a groan.
“I don’t like her,” he tells me.
“Why not? She’s perfect,” I tell him.
“I mean she is gorgeous, funny, caring, and doesn’t care about how I might stone her. But she doesn’t like me she likes you. My best friend,” I tell him while looking at the ground.
“Ajax,” I hear my voice being called.
“What,” I look up expecting to see Xavier only to find out he’s not there. Instead I see Y/n staring at me.
“You uh heard that did you?” I ask her while looking at her nervously.
“Yeah,” she says as she sits next to me.
“I didn’t know you liked me,” She tells me quietly.
“Yeah,” I tell her while trying not to look at her. She leans her head on my shoulder.
“I really like you,” I whisper to her while looking down at her head.
“I like you too,” she whispered back.
“You do?” I question.
“Yeah I thought I liked Xavier but then I thought about how much I care about you and how much I would hate to see you with someone else and it made me realize it’s not Xavier I like. It’s you,” she tells me while looking into my eyes.
“Want to do another movie night?” I ask her with a wide smile.
“Yeah,” she tells me while looking up at me smiling.

Rejection Part 2- Wednesday Addams
Tumblr media
The day of the Rave’n
“Hey Enid. Could you help me do my hair for the dance?” I say as I jog up to her.
“Of course,” she says in an excited voice.
“Thank you so much,” I tell her gratefully.
“I was thinking you could dye the ends of my hair black and maybe add some blue to it,” I tell her my plan for my hair.
“Oh my god that will be so cute. Come to my room and we can start now,” she tells me while pulling my arm excitedly in the direction of her room. When we get to her room Wednesday is there writing her book.
“Hey Wednesday,” I say trying to act normal as I take a seat on Enid’s bed while she mixes the dye.
“What are you doing here,” she asks without looking up.
“Enid is going to dye my hair for the dance,” I tell her.
“Okay the dye is all mixed let’s get started,” Enid says while walking out of the bathroom.
“Who are you going to the dance with?” I ask Enid as she starts to apply the dye to my hair.
“This guy named Lucas,” she says frowning.
“What about Ajax?” I ask her.
“He uh didn’t ask me,” she says trying to hide her sadness.
“What? I thought for sure he was going to ask you” I say out of shock.
“Yeah well I did too,” she says trying to distract herself by apply the dye to my hair.
“Anyways enough about my date. Who are you going with?” She questions me.
“Uh I’m actually going by myself,” I say like looking at Wednesday out of the corner of my eye.
“What? I thought you asked someone,” she says.
“Uh yeah yeah I did. They uh said no,” I tell her while trying to avoid looking at Wednesday.
“Oh I’m sorry,” she says while obviously feeling bad for bringing it up.
“It’s okay you didn’t know,” I tell her.
“Wednesday isn’t going to the dance,” Enid says trying to make me feel better about not having a date.
“Uh yeah I know she told me,” I say trying not to be obvious.
“Dances are stupid,” I hear Wednesday say. I choose to ignore her instead focusing my attention on Enid who just finished with the dye.
“I’m done with the dye. We have to let it set for 30 minutes then we can wash it out,” she tells me after coming back from washing her hands.
“Do you want me to paint your nails while we wait?” I ask while looking through her nail polish collection.
“I though you would never ask,” she squeals as she pulls me back onto her bed. After I got done painting her nails we quickly washed out my hair.
“I’m going to head back to my room to finish getting ready,” I tell Enid.
“Thank you for doing my hair,” I tell her as I hug her before leaving.
At the Rave’n
“Oh my god Enid you look gorgeous,” I tell her excitedly as I run into her with her date.
“Hey I’m Y/n,” I introduce myself to her date Lucas.
“Oh hey,” he says back looking uninterested in talking to me.
“Well I’m going to go find someone to dance with,” I tell Enid as I walk towards the crowd of people dancing. After dancing for a while I finally go to grab a drink. That’s when I see Wednesday walk in. She is wearing a gorgeous black dress that looks so beautiful on her. Then Tyler walks in with her and it feels like my soul got crushed. I see Enid walk up to me out of the corner of my eye.
“I thought she wasn’t coming,” I say looking defeated.
“She told me she wasn’t,” Enid tells me while looking at my face.
“Oh my god she was the person you asked,” Enid finally realized.
“Yeah,” I muttered out before walking away to find a table to sulk at. I hear someone pull out the chair next to me and sit down. When I turn and look to see who it is I see Xavier.
“Hey,” I say catching his attention.
“Hey,” he says back quietly.
“Why are you sad?” I ask him while glancing over at him.
“My date has been dancing with another guy the whole night,” he says while looking at the dance floor.
“At least you got a date,” I tell him feeling even more sorry for myself.
“You didn’t ask someone?” He asked.
“I was going to ask Wednesday. But uh she told me she wasn’t going to go,” I say looking at my drink.
“Look how that turned out,” I mutter to myself as a take a sip of my drink.
“Want to dance?” He asks as me he extend his hand.
“Why not. It’s not like the night can get worse,” I say as I take his extended hand. After dancing with Xavier for a while I decide I wanted to leave.
“Hey, I’m going to head out. Thanks for the dance,” I say as a start to walk away.
As I started the walk back to my dorm I thought I heard someone following behind me.
“Hello,” I call out behind me. When no one responds I keep walking till I hear it again.
“Is someone there?” I call out.
“If someone is there come out,” I call out again. When no one responds I turn back around.
“Oh my god Jesus Christ,” I scream as I see Wednesday standing in front of me.
“God you nearly gave me a heart attack,” I tell her as I started to walk towards my room again.
“I hope you and Tyler had fun,” I say to her once I see she is following behind me.
“As I said before dances are stupid,” she tells.
“Then why did you go with Tyler,” I question her.
“I don’t know,” she says.
“I wanted to go with you,” I tell her.
“It hurt when you walked in with Tyler,” I say while stopping to look at her.
“I saw you dancing with Xavier,” she says changing the topic.
“He wasn’t who I wanted to dance with,” I said to her quietly.
“I wanted to dance with you. I wanted to be there with you,” I say as I start to walk faster trying to leave the conversation.
“I wanted to go with you,” she says trying to get me stop walking.
“What?” I say confused.
“I wanted to go with you,” she repeats.
“But I thought that if I said yes that I would be showing weakness,” she tells me while looking in my eyes.
“You think I make you weak?” I question her.
“No. I thought that my feelings made me weak and that If I admitted my feeling that I would become like my parents,” she explains.
“Admitting your feelings doesn’t make you weak,” I tell her while walking up in front of her.
“I didn’t realize that till I saw you dancing with Xavier and It made me wish it was me you were dancing with,” she says.
“I wish you would have realized sooner. I didn’t get to dance with you tonight,” I say to her.
“I wish I did too,” she says while looking at me.
“I like your hair,” she adds.
“I did it because I thought it would help me get your attention,” I tell her as I look down at my dyed ends.
“You always had my attention,” she says as we link arms and walk towards the dorms.

Rejection- Wednesday Addams
Tumblr media
“Good morning,” I say to Wednesday and Enid as I sit next to them at their table.
“Hey Y/n,” Enid says smiling at me.
“Hello,” Wednesday replied without bothering to looking up.
“How are you guys? I feel like I haven’t talked to you guys in forever,” I say mainly because I haven’t talked to them in at least two weeks.
“Fine.” Wednesday says as she turns to glare at me.
“I’m good, Ajax and I went out on a date,” Enid tells me.
“Really? How did it go? Tell me everything,” I say spitting of questions left and right.
“It was so fun. I really like him,” she tells me with a dreamy look in her eyes.
“He likes you too, I sit next to him in botany and all he does it stare at you,” I tell her with a smile.
“Really oh my god oh my god,” Enid starts to freak out.
“Calm down he is just a boy,” Wednesday says trying to get Enid to shut up.
“He is not just a boy he is my crush,” Enid tells Wednesday with a serious look on her face.
“It’s almost time for class. Do you guys want to walk with me?” I ask them as we all start to gather our stuff.
“Whatever,” Wednesday says as she walks ahead of me and Enid who is still semi freaking out. As we walk into botany I see Ajax in his seat and I quickly turn to Enid.
“Take my seat,” I say to her.
“What?” she asks me.
“Sit next to Ajax,” I tell her as I push her towards my now former seat. I swear I heard her squeak as Ajax started talking to her.
“Can I sit next to you Wednesday?” I ask her as I put my stuff in the stop next to her.
“It seems you already are,” she says in a bored tone.
“Well I can move if you don’t want me to sit here. I can go sit with Bianca or Kent.” I tell her while getting ready to move to a different seat.
“No it’s fine,” she’s says while glaring at the table.
“Okay as long as you say so,” I say while taking out my notes.
After class
“So how was class Enid?” I ask her in a teasing voice.
“Oh my god we talked the whole time,” she gushes.
“I think we are going out again this weekend,” she say’s excitedly with a smile that reaches her eyes.
“Really? That’s awesome,” I say to her in an excited voice.
“You seriously can not be this excited over a boy,” Wednesday says when she pops up behind Enid and I.
“Wednesday just let her be in love and happy,” I say in a serious voice while me and Enid walk off.
Saturday
When I walk into the Weathervane I see Wednesday already in line.
“Hey, Wednesday. What are you doing here?” I ask her has I get in line behind her.
“Getting coffee what else,” she says in a obvious voice. I skip in front of Wednesday in line once I see that she is next.
“Hey Tyler” I greet the boy.
“Hey Y/n you want your usual double shot iced coffee?” He asks me
“Yup and uh whatever Wednesday orders I will pay for,” I tell him as I hand him $10.
“What no,” I hear Wednesday object from behind me.
“Deal with it Wednesday I’m paying for your coffee,” I tell her as I grab my cup and go take a seat. Just as I pull out my book I see someone sit across from me.
“Hey, Wednesday. Did you need something?” I ask her because it is usual for her to sit with me on her own free will.
“No,” she says while practically looking into my soul.
“Okay,” I say and go back to reading my book. As we sit there in silence for about 15 minutes I can’t help but wonder if she is going to the Rave’n.
“Hey Wednesday?” I say which draws her attention towards me.
“Yes,” she responds stiffly.
“Are you going to the Rave’n dance?” I ask her as I set my book down after marking my page.
“No,” she responds with hard eyes.
“Oh that’s too bad it would be a lot of fun if you did,” I say to her after finishing the last sip of my drink.
“Well I’m going to go walk around town. You are free to join me if you would like,” I say to her as I get up and throw my coffee cup away. After I walk out and she doesn’t follow I assume she isn’t coming so I start walking towards where Xavier’s mural used to be.
“Why are you staring at a wall,” Wednesday asks as she comes up behind me out of nowhere.
“Jesus you are quiet,” I say after nearly jumping out of my skin.
“Xavier and I painted this wall a while ago. They destroyed it,” I tell her dejectedly as I start to walk back towards Nevermore.
“Why did they destroy it,” she questions as if it isn’t obvious.
“Because they think me and Xavier are freaks,” I tell her while kicking a rock with my shoe.
“Oh,” she merely says. When we reach Nevermore I turn to her.
“It sucks you aren’t going to the Rave’n,” I tell her once more.
“Why?” She asks.
“Because I was going to ask you to go with me,” I say to her as I walk in the direction of my dorm.

Drawings- Xavier Thorpe
Tumblr media
“Everyone is going to be paired up by me for a group project. You two will have to work together on a drawing it is due Friday,” said the art teacher.
“Ugh,” I quietly groan.
“Bianca and Yoko,” she reads off.
I zone out as the teacher starts calling the rest of the names.
“Y/n and Xavier,” I finally hear.
“Well at least I got someone who can draw,” I whispered to Enid who sits beside me.
“You are so lucky. I got Kent,” she complains to me.
Just as class ends Xavier comes up to me.
“Hey so I figured we could start working on the drawing tonight,” he quickly says to me as we are walking through the hallway.
“Uh yeah sure,” I say trying to get to my next class.
“Alright meet me at the entrance gate at 7 pm,” he says before waking off.
“Uh okay then,” I say to myself.
7 pm
When I get to the gate I see Xavier standing there waiting.
“Hey, sorry to keep you waiting,” I say as I walk up to him.
“It’s okay I was actually early,” he says looking at me.
“So uh where are we going? I don’t exactly see a place we can draw around here,” I ask.
“Oh well uh I was planning on taking you to my art shed,” he says while walking towards the forest.
“Right because that doesn’t sound creepy at all,” I say to myself while following him. After about 5 minutes of walking through the woods I finally decide to speak up.
“You know if you wanted to murder me you could have done it like 3 minutes ago,” I say in a joking tone.
“Haha very funny,” he says back sarcastically. When we finally arrive at the shed we immediately start thinking of what to draw.
“Uh well I’m not really the best artist in the world so I figured I would let you pick and then I would try to make it look as half as good as yours,” I tell him as I look at the art on the walls of the shed.
“Why don’t we draw you,” he says nonchalantly.
“Excuse me,” I say while turning to look at him.
“Yeah let’s draw you. I can draw you from my perspective and you can draw yourself from your own perspective,” he says like it’s the easiest thing in the world.
“Uh I mean I guess that would work,” I say still on the fence about it.
“Alrighty sit down so I can start,” he says while grabbing me a chair to sit in. After about 30 minutes of sitting in the quiet he finally starts to talk.
“I like drawing you,” he mutters while still focusing on the drawing.
“Oh uh thanks,” I tell him.
“I’ve drawn you a a couple times just never when you are posing,” he tells me while looking at my face for a split second before turning his attention back to the drawing.
“Really? I never noticed you drawing me before,” I say with a bit of shock.
“I try to do it when you aren’t looking. I didn’t want you to think I was a creep,” he tells me.
“I wouldn’t have thought you were a creep. I probably wouldn’t have even said anything if I noticed you drawing me,” I tell him honestly.
“Could I see some of the other drawings you’ve done of me?” I ask him.
“You want to see them?” His eyes shoot to my face as he asks me.
“Yeah of course I want to see them. You drew them so I bet they are amazing,” I tell him.
“Keep still,” he tells me.
“Uh yeah I mean I guess after we finish here I can show them to you,” he says before he goes quiet again.
“Alright,” I say. After about another 30 minutes he is finally done with his part of the drawing.
“Wow it looks great,” I tell him while looking in amazement at the half done drawing of me.
“You are a good muse,” he tells me while pulling out a different sketchbook.
“This has most of the drawings of you that I’ve done,” he tells me while handing me the book.
“You can keep it for the night to look at them if you want,” he said while busying himself with cleaning up the shed.
“Really? Awesome thanks I can’t wait to look at them,” I tell him.
“I will probably have the other half of the drawing done tomorrow. It’s due on Friday right?” I question as I gather my things getting ready to leave.
“Yes,” he says simply while not even looking at me.
“Alrighty well I will see you tomorrow Xavier,” I say as I walk out of his shed and head back to my dorm.
The next day
“Hey Xavier wait up,” semi shout as I see him in the hallways.
“Jesus you walk fast,” I say as I finally catch up to him.
“I finished our drawing,” I tell him while handing him the paper.
“Okay. Did you look at the sketchbook,” he questioned with a hint of nervousness.
“Oh yeah they were great. I loved the one you did of me in the library,” I tell him.
“April 22,” he says randomly.
“What?” I question him?
“That was the date I drew that picture April 22,” he says while looking at the floor.
“Oh wow I didn’t know you remembered the dates of the stuff you drew,” I say shocked.
“I usually don’t but I remember that day because I bumped into you in the hallway and it was the first time we ever spoke,” he says while trying to gauge my reaction.
“Huh I don’t remember that,” I say.
“I spilled my drink on you and I offered you my jacket but you refused. Then later in the library I saw you and you were wearing Ajax’s hoodie,” he says quietly.
“So I drew you. I was going to give it to you to make up for spilling my drink on you but I didn’t figure I knew you well enough,” he tells me finally looking in my eyes.
“Wow you should have gave me the drawing I would have loved it,” I tell him.
When I arrive at my next class I hand him his sketchbook back.
“Here’s your book back. I hope you don’t mind but I drew something in it for you,” I tell him with a smile.
After she walked in her class Xavier opened the sketchbook to find a drawing of him.
“No one’s ever drawn me before,” he muttered to himself while walking away from the classroom door with a smile.

Rave’N- Ajax Petropolus
Tumblr media
“Dude just go ask her out,” Xavier says to Ajax who has been staring at Y/n.
“But what if she says no,” Ajax says back looking self conscious.
“I’m not exactly the best guy to date. I literally turn people to stone.” He tells Xavier.
“Yeah and I’m sure she won’t care I mean she is literally a shapeshifter,” Xavier tells Ajax.
“I know but still,” Ajax says looking defeated.
“At least go ask her what she got for outreach day,” Xavier says while pushing Ajax towards you.
“Oh hey Ajax,” I say as he pops up beside me.
“Hey Y/n, what did you get for outreach day?” He questions smiling.
“Oh I got pilgrim world but Wednesday asked me to switch so now I have Uriah’s heap,” I tell him.
“That place gives me the creeps,” I say with fake shivers and a joking smile.
“No way I got Uriah’s heap,” he tells me.
“At least we can suffer together,” he says joking.
“If your there then it won’t really be suffering,” I tell him.
“I got to get to class I’ll see you later Ajax,” I say to him as I walk off.
Outreach day
“Hey Xavier do you know where Ajax is?” I ask him.
“Uh no I don’t actually,” he tells me while looking down at me.
“Darn he was supposed to meet me here so we can walk to Uriah’s Heap together,” I tell him frowning.
“Well thanks anyway I’ll see you later Xavier,” I say to him as I start my journey towards Uriah’s Heap.
“Y/n,” I hear my name being called.
“Hey Y/n wait up,” when I finally turn around I notice Ajax trying to catch up with me.
“Oh there you are. I was looking for you earlier I even asked Xavier if he knew where you were,” I tell him as he falls in step next to me.
“Yeah sorry I was running a little late I couldn’t find my hat,” he tells me looking a little shy about mentioning his hat.
“It’s okay I didn’t walk alone for that long,” I say as we step into Uriah’s Heap.
“It smells like decaying old people in here,” I say to Ajax with my nose scrunched up.
“You got that right,” he says as he covers his nose.
“I regret switching with Wednesday,” I say almost gagging from the smell.
“At least you have me here,” Ajax says trying to be helpful.
“That’s true I could be stuck here with Bianca,” I say as both me and Ajax laugh. For the most of the day Ajax and I just do restock and deal with the few customers who come in. When it’s time to leave we haven’t really gotten to talk that much.
“It sucks we didn’t get to talk a lot today. Who knew a antique store would have so much to do,” I tell him with a tired smile as we leave the store.
“Yeah I wish we could have talked more,” he said looking at me with a frown.
“I wonder how Wednesday like working in pilgrim world,” I say mostly asking myself.
“Why did she want to switch in the first place?” He asks me.
“I actually have no idea she said she needed to “check it out” whatever that means,” I tell him while quoting Wednesday.
“Are you signing up to decorate for the Rave’n?” I ask him.
“Nah probably not I still haven’t even asked the girl I want to ask,” he says looking down at the side walk.
“Oh well me and Enid are helping decorate it would be fun if you joined us,” I tell him with a small smile.
“Who is the girl you want to ask,” I ask trying to be subtle.
“Oh uh it’s not important,” he said trying to cover up his nervousness.
“Well you should ask her before someone else does. There isn’t that much time left before the dance,” I tell him as I walk on the bus to find Enid.
“Yeah,” Ajax whispers to himself.
One day before the Rave’n
“I can’t believe he still hasn’t asked you. It’s obvious he likes you,” Enid says trying to cheer me up.
“Maybe he doesn’t maybe he was just being nice,” I say feeling dejected.
“Maybe I just shouldn’t go to the dance. I’m going to be one of the only girls without a date,” I tell Enid as I begin to gather my things from the table we were sitting at.
“What no you can do that you have to go,” she pleads with me.
“Wednesday not going,” I tell her trying to make my point.
“Actually uh she is now,” Enid says with a sheepish smile.
“What so now I’m going to be the only girl who doesn’t go to the Rave’n,” I say feeling pathetic.
“It will be okay Y/n. You should just come to the dance and hang out with me and my date,” Enid says trying to make me feel better.
“I don’t want to be a third wheel Enid,” I say as I turn the corridor to my room.
“I will think about going but I’m not making promises, okay?” I tell her as I open my door to my room.
“Okay I will see you tomorrow Y/n,” she says frowning.
The day of the Rave’n
“Dude why didn’t you ask Y/n you said you would,” Enid says as she walks up to Ajax with an angry expression.
“I didn’t think she would want to go with me,” he says while feeling like crap for not asking you.
“Well now she probably won’t go to the dance at all because she doesn’t want to be the only girl without a date,” Enid says making him feel worse.
“Is she is in her room?” Ajax asks Enid.
“Yeah she is probably reading she does that a lot when she is sad,” Enid tells him.
“Okay thank you,” Ajax shouts at Enid as he runs to find Y/n.
Knock knock
“Enid I told you I’m not going to the dance,” I say opening the door expecting to see Enid. Instead I see Ajax with a bouquet flowers.
“What are you doing here Ajax?” I ask him while looking at the flowers in his hand.
“I uh well I wanted to know if I still had a shot at taking you to the Rave’n?” He says trying to stay calm.
“I wasn’t really planning on going,” I say back trying not to give into how sweet he is.
“I know Enid told me but I wanted you to know that I was going to ask you to the dance since outreach day but I thought you would say no. So I just didn’t and now I feel really bad because I really want to go with you and I’m sorry,” Ajax rambles off while handing me the flowers.
“Really?” I ask him while looking at the flowers with a smile.
“Yes so will you please do me the honor of going to the Rave’n with me?” Ajax ask hoping he wasn’t to late.
“Pick me up at 6 Pm,” I tell him as I shut the door.
“Yes,” I hear Ajax shout from behind the door.

Claws- Enid Sinclair
Tumblr media
"Hey Enid," I say coming up behind her while she is painting her teams boat for the poe cup.
"Hey Y/n," she turns to me smiling.
"Are you excited for the poe cup?" I ask her.
"Yes," she almost squeaks out of excitement.
"I even got Wednesday to be on my team," she says looking even more excited.
"Really I thought she hated things like this?" I question.
"She does but one of my team members got sick," she tells me.
"Oh I'm sorry that sucks. It's good you got Wednesday to fill in," I tell her
"Anyways, I have to get to fencing class. I'll see you later Enid," I tell her as I being to walking away.
"Bye," she shouts behind me.
1 day later
After the poe cup is over I go to find Enid to congratulate her on her teams win.
"Hey Enid," I say when I walk up to her.
"Y/n," she screams smiling as she hugs me.
"I won," she tells me out of excitement.
"I know. I'm proud of you good job," I tell her as she starts to blush from the compliment.
"Do you want to go to the Weathervane with me tomorrow ?" I asked her hoping she will say yes.
"As a date?" She squeaks out her question.
"Yes, if you want it to be," I tell her.
"So is that a yes?" I ask her again.
"Yes I would love to go to the Weathervane with you," she says smiling.
The next day
"Hey Y/n ready to go," Enid asks walking up to me.
"Yup let's go, you look pretty by the way," I tell her as we start to walk away from the entrance of Nevermore.
"So the Rave'n is coming up. Do you have a date yet?" I start a conversation.
"Uh no I'm actually waiting for someone to ask me," she tells me while looking at the floor blushing.
"Really? I would have figured you had a date by now being you are the prettiest girl in school," I compliment her.
"Oh uh thank you Y/n but most people don't really like the late bloomer werewolf girl," she says looking sad.
"I do," I tell her trying to get her to look up at me.
"Really?" She asks looking hopeful.
"Yes," I tell her once more.
When we arrive at the Weathervane I tell her to get a seat and that I will get our drinks.
"Hey Tyler," I say to the barista working.
"Hey Y/n, your usual?" He questions as he starts to ring up my drink.
"Yup, can I also get a medium white chocolate frappe and a peppermint chocolate chip cookie," I tell him looking back at Enid.
"On a date?" He asks with a smirk after watching me look at Enid.
"Maybe," I tell him with a smile as I pay for my drinks and tip him $5.
"Bye Tyler," I tell him as I start to walk away.
"Here you go malady," I say as I set Enid's drink down and hand her the cookie.
"Thank you Y/n, how did you know I like peppermint cookies?" She questioned as she bites into the cookie I got her.
"Just a hunch and the fact that you eat a candy cane everyday at lunch," I say back to her in a joking voice while taking a sip of my coffee.
"Oh I didn't realize anyone noticed that," she says with wide eyes and a smile.
"Of course I noticed. I notice everything about you," I tell her.
I look down at the table before looking back up at her.
"I've actually been wanting to ask you out for a while," I tell her while looking back up into her eyes.
"I was actually hoping you would ask me out too," she says while looking down shyly.
"I'm glad you said yes," I tell her while reaching for her hand across the table.
After about thirty minutes we had both finished our drinks.
"Do you want to head back to Nevermore now?" I ask her.
"Yeah we probably should it's almost 5 pm," she says looking a little sad.
I wrap my arm around her shoulder as we walk out of the café.
"Did you have a good time?" I ask her hoping she will say yes.
"A great time actually," she says looking up at me with a smile.
"I did too," I tell her looking down at her.
"Do you want to go to the Rave'n with me?" I ask her.
"Yes," she squeaks excitedly.
When we arrive back to Nevermore I walk her back to her room.
"Bye Enid," I say looking down at her as we arrive at her room.
"Bye Y/n," she says looking back up at me.
"Can I kiss you?" I ask her.
"Yes please," she responds.
Just as I lean into kiss her I feel something sharp pierce my arm where Enid was holding.
"Ow ow," I say as I talk a step back from her which caused the wound to hurt more.
"Oh my god I am so sorry Y/n," Enid says looking embarrassed and like she is about to cry.
"I-its alright," I say as I look at me arm trying to inspect the damage.
"I'm really really sorry Y/n," she says again while looking at the blood coming from my arm.
"They come out sometime when I get excited, I'm sorry," she says looking down in shame.
"Hey Enid it's okay," I tell her as I take a step towards her.
She steps back away from me and I frown.
"Enid it's really okay I'm fine," I tell her still frowning.
"I don't want to hurt you again," she says as she turns to her door.
"Enid look at me," I say trying to get her attention.
"Enid," I say again. When she finally turns around I take ahold of her and hug her.
"It's okay I'm not mad at you Enid," I tell her trying to calm her down as I feel tears hit my skin.
"Do you still like me?" She says trying to dry her tears.
"Yes Enid of course. It was an accident," I tell her looking her in the eyes after I pull back from the hug.
"You should probably get to bed it's almost curfew," I tell her after she has finally calmed down.
"Okay, goodnight Y/n," she says about to turn away.
"Enid wait," I say
"What?" She turns confused. I put my hands on her face and kiss her.
"I'll pick you up for the Rave'n at 6 pm, okay?" I tell her as I begin to walk off with a huge smile on my face.
"Okay," I hear her whisper.

Confession- Xavier Thorpe
Tumblr media
“Ow,” I said as I got knocked back after running into someone.
“I-I um- sorry,” Xavier Thorpe responded while turning red.
“Oh, it’s okay. I was actually looking for you,” I responded with a slight smile.
“You were?” He asks with a questioning voice.
“Yeah, we need to start on our project for botany,” I said trying to jog his memory.
“Oh,” he responded looking a little disheartened.
“Yeah, do you want to meet me at my dorm in like 30 minutes so we can start?” I asked him.
“Um ye-yeah sure,” he said looking a little nervous.
30 minutes later
Knock knock
“I’m coming,” I shouted at the door as I got up from my chair.
“Hey Xavier,” I said to him with a smile.
“Hey Y/n,” he greeted back with a smile.
“Come in. You can sit anywhere,” I said as I closed the door behind him and sat on my bed.
“So, what is this project about? I don’t really pay attention in Ms. Thornhills class,” he said sheepishly after he took a seat in the chair in my room.
“Uh basically we have to do a drawing and a speech about a deadly/poisonous flower,” I responded while looking at my notes.
“Do we get to pick the flower?” He asked me.
“Yup, I figured we could either do Dracunculus Vulgaris or maybe the Oleander,” I said while turning to look at him.
“I figured you could do the drawing and I would do the speech part,” I said.
“Uh yeah that’s probably best,” he responded.
“We should do the Dracunculus Vulgaris flower,” he said while looking up the flower on his computer.
“I was hoping you would pick that one,” I say with a smile.
“It’s my favorite,” I told him.
After about 1 hour-ish on working on my speech it was done.
“Hey, I’m done with the speech part,” I told him while handing him my computer so he could look it over.
“Wow, this is really good,” he said in amazement while reading over my speech.
“Thanks, how’s the drawing coming along?” I question.
“U-uh goo-good,” he said looking at me nervously.
“Can I see it?” I ask him while reaching for his sketchbook
“No,” he said as he quickly shut the sketchbook.
“Dude, just let me see it I don’t care if it’s not done,” I said slightly aggravated.
“N-no,” he repeated.
I quickly grabbed grabbed his sketchbook and started to look through it.
“Uh dude this isn’t a drawing of a flower,” I said while looking at the half finished drawing of me.
“I’m sorry,” he said while looking down embarrassed.
“I mean it’s a good drawing but I would like to get this project done. So can you start drawing the flower now?” I asked him while handing him the sketchbook back.
“Uh yeah yeah totally,” he said while taking the book from me.
While he sat there drawing I was typing away on my computer doing work for my other classes.
“Aren’t you going to ask why I drew you?” He asked me.
“No,” I responded while not looking up.
“Why not?” He asked again.
“Because I know you like me,” I said
“What? How could you know that? I mean no I don’t,” he said his voice getting higher and higher.
“Xavier, I’m going to be straight with you,” I tell him.
“You stare at me all the time, you always go red whenever you see me, and you always get stuttery and nervous around me. So either you like me or you have a speech impediment and a over heating problem,” I say while looking him in the eyes.
He just sits there staring at me with this mouth open.
“Do you like me back?” He questions quietly almost as if he is afraid of the answer.
“Why would I put up with all of that if I didn’t like you back,” I respond while furrowing my brows.
“Now finish the drawing please,” I tell him.
“Uh um yeah okay,” he says trying to get a grip on his emotions.
“Do you want to go get a coffee with me tomorrow?” I ask him.
“Yes. I mean uh yeah sure,” he says while trying not to seem to excited.
