CHAPTER 65

Y/N'S POV

Saturday at the fair turned out not to be as horrible as I would have thought at first, the truth is that I had fun shooting and humiliating the "normies". Brooke did not touch the subject of our promise and never uttered a word about everything that happened in Nevermore. The truth is that I was grateful for her discretion, otherwise I would have had to give her a major scare and have forced her to remain silent.

Even if Wednesday and I had gotten what could be considered new "friends", nothing could make me change my mind as for high school. Or at least it was like that until one weekend, Sadie came to pick me up at night and we both escaped to the lakes of New Jersey. It was a popular on summer, during the winter it was the opposite, no one dared to pass by the place. The redhead stole the car keys from her father, and in a short time we arrived at our destination.

-Y/N: What are we doing here? - I said talking through my scarf.

- Sadie: Take a walk - she smiled - Can I ask you a question?

-Y/N: I knew there was a cat locked up - I rolled my eyes - Ask, but I'm not sure I'm going to answer.

- Sadie: Have you ever been on the verge of death? - she asked unusually serious for a her - Sorry if the question is too weird, I-

-Y/N: Nothing is too weird for an Addams - I interrupted her - And the answer is yes, on more than one occasion.

- Sadie: - she leaned against the car - And then why are you letting life go by?

- Y/N: Hey... Have you brought me to this place to reflect on life? Because I hate doing that kind of therapeutic exercises - I rolled my eyes - Cheap psychology tricks don't work on me.

-Sadie: - she nodded - I didn't plan to play the psychologists, I just wanted to tell you that it's okay to do crazy things from time to time. That's why I brought you to this place - she said looking me up and down.

-Y/N: Certainly in this place a murder could be carried out without being discovered - I looked at her and smiled - Do you want to murder me? Because that would be a fun game.

- Sadie: Obviously not! - she shook her head - But I agree with the thing that this place is a good place to do crazy things - she smiled maliciously - Are you afraid of death, Y/N?

-Y/N: I'm not afraid of anything - I said seriously.

- Sadie: Let's do something crazy then - she smiled and came closer to me - Do you want us to bet?

-Y/N: Bet on what?

I remembered my presentation at the New Jersey high school perfectly, but with the passage of time I had realized one thing. I made a big mistake thinking I would be the only fox around, Sadie was too. Her hands were very discreet as I unbuckled my belt and started to unzip my jacket. I stood still for a few moments but then I stepped back when I saw her intention to strip me of my clothes.

-Y/N: What are you doing? - I raised an expectant eyebrow - My personal space is only mine. Do you remember?

-Sadie: The bet - she said looking into my eyes - To see who can last longer in underwear - she started to take off her clothes.

-Y/N: You're crazy, it's snowing Sadie - I commented not believing the seriousness with which she was undressing - Are you going to do it seriously?

- Sadie: If you win... I'll do your homework for a whole month - she smiled - It's a deal that suits you, my father is the math teacher.

-Y/N: Well, I guess I have nothing to lose - I started to undress - Just so you know, you are not at all smart to bet against me. I always win - I said staying in my underwear - For me the cold means nothing - I opened my arms and started running through the snow.

It was a strange feeling running through the snow in just my underwear, and it was much stranger that my partner during that madness was Sadie. I could tell the girl was shivering with cold, but the pride that characterizes humans would not let her admit it. The truth is that it was fun, the starry sky over our heads while we did the most idiotic thing as if nothing mattered. I ran until I reached the shore of the lake and smiling mockingly at Sadie, I told her that I was able to get into the icy water.

- Sadie: That would be crazy, - she said hugging herself as she watched me getting deeper and deeper into the water - Don't you plan to give up?

-Y/N: Never, I'm an Addams - I said proudly and started swimming - It's not as cold as it looks, although I don't think you could stand it in here - I stood still watching my reflection in the water.

Just as it had been happening to me lately, there was someone next to me in the reflection. I decided to stay calm and calm down, it was then that I could recognize the woman who was reflected next to me. Meiko, my mother. I stood for a few moments without understanding why she was appearing next to me, supposedly she had already died during the gym fire. My body suddenly started to feel heavy and I started to let myself sink little by little.

- Sadie: You're going too far - she commented - Hey! Y/N!

I could hear the redhead calling me, but for some reason my body didn't want to react. I sank completely underwater and without resisting the water pressure I let myself be dragged to the bottom. I was about to close my eyes but instinctively I looked up meeting the reflection of the full moon. The full moon... There was a full moon!Enid would be transformed! When I thought about her, I regained control over myself and swam to the surface and then back to the shore.

- Sadie: What the fuck were you doing? !! I thought you had drowned - she said seriously.

-Y/N: I have to go back, I shouldn't have come - I said walking past her.

- Sadie: Y/N, wait - she took my wrist - Are you okay? Has anything happened or have I done anything that made you uncomfortable?

-Y/N: - I looked at her - You should get dressed, you will die of hypothermia.

-Sadie: Says the one who just took a bath in ice water - she smiled and opened the car door - Just so you know, at no time have I given up. So no one has won the bet.

-Y/N: - I sighed - Take me back to my house, as soon as possible.

- Sadie: Of course, but... What is the reason for this rush?

-Y/N: I should have stayed at home today, I should have called her.

- Sadie: Call who? - she said turning on the engine - Your parents?

-Y/N: - I looked at her annoyed - My girlfriend.

- Sadie: Do you have a girlfriend? !! - she said surprised - As I was saying, as soon as I saw you appear in class I thought that you both belonged to the community - she smiled - If that shows, my radar for homosexuality is impeccable.

-Y/N: Don't think, I'm not attracted to anything or anyone else besides her - I looked seriously through the car window - I must be Enidsexual - I commented making the redhead laugh - Shut up.

- Sadie: Enid? It's a peculiar name - she smiled - I belong to the community too, so feel free to talk about it all you want.

-Y/N: I would do it even if you didn't belong, I don't care - I shrugged my shoulders and sighed - She's going to be very angry for not having called her sooner.

-Sadie: Tell her you were busy with a redhead getting naked in the snow - she joked.

-Y/N: - I fulminated her with the look - Your jokes are not funny. Do you know what the bite of a gigantic wolf would do to you? - I blurted out without thinking and covered my mouth as I realized - Forget it, I just wanted to say that it's not convenient for you to joke about it. So I'll make it clear from the beginning, I belong to Sinclair.

- Sadie: - nodded - Understood, Robin Hood - smiled - Apart from peculiarly and absurdly resistant to cold, you are faithful - she looked at me and whispered - I like that, I wouldn't trust a cheating fox.
