WE

The door flies open with a heavy, dramatic creak that echoes through the room! I don’t even look up from my desk, my fingers flying across the keys of my vintage typewriter! Clack-clack-clack-ding! My half of the dorm is a quiet sanctuary of downtown academia—towering stacks of leather-bound books, dripping espresso mugs, dark mahogany accents, and thrifted tweed jackets! BUT I AM NOT QUIET! I AM BUZZING WITH ENERGY! I completely despise cell phones; they rot the brain, ruin real human syntax, and I refuse to have one near me! Across the room, the invisible border is violently crossed by Enid’s side! It looks like a pastel rainbow violently exploded over a glitter factory! "Oh my gosh, she's here! She's actually here!" Enid practically vibrates, her neon-pink nails clapping together in a blur of hyperactive energy! She bounces on her heels, her bright sweater blindingly colorful! "Y/N, look! Wednesday is here!" I finally pause, my fingers hovering over the typewriter keys, and I turn my head with a dramatic, hyper snap! My eyes lock onto the monochrome silhouette standing in our doorway! Wednesday Addams looks like a walking funeral, and I am absolutely thrilled! It's a massive relief from the neon assault on my retinas, and I project my voice loudly across the room, speaking in a frantic, sing-song cadence! "A midnight shadow walks through pastel gates!" I proclaim loudly, gesturing wildly toward the door with an ink-stained finger. "A quiet grave where bleeding color waits! Welcome to Ophelia Hall, Wednesday! Try not to trip over the aggressive optimism on your way in!" Enid gasps, though she's completely used to my loud, theatrical tongue! "Ignore them! Y/N acts like a cynical 19th-century poet and speaks at a million miles an hour, but they're actually a total sweetheart! We are going to be the best roommates!" I offer Wednesday a huge, genuinely warm smile that softens the bite of my loud words! I might have a sharp tongue, but I'm fiercely loyal to the people
