I remember how seeing the shape of your mouth that first time, I kept staring until my blood turned to rain. Some things take root in the brain and just don't let go.

FIVE. you care and it's all over the place
Soon, Tyler arrived at the booth with a cup of hot chocolate. He sat it in front of her. "One hot chocolate," he spoke shyly.
Andy looked up at him and grinned. "Thanks."
Tyler nodded and went back to work, but not more accidentally bumping into a table on his way back.
Wednesday glared at him as he went. "You're not serious." She said to her sister.
Andy titled her head. "What?" She asked and took a drink of the hot chocolate (it was the best thing she ever tasted in her life).
"Don't tell me the first boy you have a crush on is a normie."
"Crush?" She questioned bizarrely. "I've known him for less than five minutes."
"Mother and Father knew each other for ten minutes."
Andy slowly formed a grin. "True."
Wednesday grimaced. "It'll never work out."
She rolled her eyes. "Can't you for once just say, Aww sis, I'm happy you're the least bit interested in the cute barista."
"I would cut out my own tongue before I said that."
Again, she rolled her eyes and took another sip of the hot chocolate. Then, a group of boys wearing pilgrim uniforms walked into the coffee shop and surrounded the sisters, giving them evil looks. "What's a couple of Nevermore freaks doing out in the wild?" One of them sneered.
"This is our booth." Another one commented.
"Why are you three dressed like religious fanatics?" Wednesday questioned, eyes racking their ridiculous clothes.
"We're pilgrims," the tallest one answered like it was obvious.
"Potato, po-tah-to."
"We work at Pilgrim World." The third one stated and slammed a flyer on the table.
Wednesday slid the paper closer to her and examined it. "That's a thing?" Andy asked and stifled a laugh.
"It takes a special kind of stupid to devote an entire theme park to zealots responsible for mass genocide."
The boy who gave them the flyer glared again. "My dad owns Pilgrim World. Who you calling stupid?"
"Like father, like son." Andy remarked.
Tyler noticed the tension and stepped in. "Guys, back off." He told the group of boys, coming to their defense.
"Stay out of this, Galpin."
"Yeah, say out of this," said Wednesday and she stood up.
"Wednesday." Andy warned but she was ignored. She sighed and stood up from the booth as well.
