Kennedy found where they were and she smiled. She waved. Wednesday looked away as quickly as she could and got a feeling in her stomach that resembled splinters in her skin. A rope tying around her neck. Someone taking away her ability to breathe. It wasn't the kind of pain she was used to or that she liked. No, it actually hurt her. She didn't like this feeling.
Andy feel like she was on a different planet while walking into the Rave'N. Her hand was still on Tyler's arm and it was shaking, which she was sure he felt. "Don't be nervous. I've got you." He assured him.
She sent him an unconvincing stare, but there was something in his eyes that made her believe him, so she kept her hand clasped on his arm.
Ms. Thornhill greeted them at the entrance with a large smile. "Miss Addams, oh my goodness. You look so beautiful!" She beamed.
"Thank you," Andy responded with a queasy stomach. She glanced up at Tyler. "Uh, you know Tyler."
"Of course. Hello again, Mr. Galpin," the teacher said, her smile never wavering.
Andy looked around the room, taking in the decorations. It was almost blinding how bright it was, like walking into heaven, or a snow storm. She almost couldn't point anyone out until she saw an all black dress from the corner of her eye. Wednesday was standing alone at the buffet table. Andy looked Tyler's way again. "I'll get us some punch."
He smiled at her.
She let go of his arm and walked towards her sister. Andy grinned at her attire. "Wow, you really do stand out."
"Kennedy calls us the anti-Rave'N." Wednesday said emotionlessly.
She turned her head to see Kennedy sitting at a table with Ajax some of his friends. She stood out amongst everyone else, and Andy thought she was the most beautiful. "Well, you guys look great," she told Wednesday and looked at her again. She observed her dress. "It's a beautiful dress."
The older sister brushed her hands against the fabric. "It's alright." Wednesday downplayed but Andy could tell that she loved it. "I'm still trying to figure out how Thing got his fingers on it."
Andy pursed her lips together. "It wasn't Thing, actually. It was me."
Wednesday quickly lifted her head.
"I saw you looking at it through the window while we were in Jericho. I knew you loved it, so, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to get it."
"You bought the dress knowing I didn't want to go in the first place?" The older sister asked with her pinched eyebrows softening from surprise.
Andy shook my head gently. "No. I bought the dress knowing you'd change your mind."
Sister relationships are known to be the most complicated relationship. Everything one felt, the other felt as well. They're half of each other's soul, the cause of each other's anger and tears. Her entire life, Wednesday thought that nobody would ever understand her or care to. She didn't want anybody to understand her. She's not a book meant to be read. But her sister understood her. Wednesday look over her shoulder at Tyler, the boy still having a conversation with Ms. Thornhill. "Just letting you know, if he hurts you, I'll kill him."
