Amitys' New Feelings
What is this feeling,
So sudden and new?
Honestly, who knows?
ON WITH THE STORY!
Amity Blight - First Person POV
I can't quite put my finger on this feeling, she's my friend after all - my first real friend, I cannot screw this up or I'll never live it down!
I fell silent as I walked beside her after exchanging a mere glance, my face feels warm - AM I SICK?! I can't be sick! What is wrong with me? What's happening to me? She came into my life and has turned my world upside down.
Why does this always happen? Something good finally comes along and then something bad almost always happens to ruin the good mood!
Eventually we made it to class - sitting down in our seats which happened to be next to each other, even when class started and the teacher started talking all I could think about was how cute Luz's ears are - unlike anything I've ever seen, probably because she's the first and only human I have ever met.
I don't know why, but I want to touch her ears - I know that's probably really weird and all, but I just cannot even with how cute she is - wait, what?! No! Bad Amity, bad! You are not a lesbian! She is just your friend! Get your head out of the clouds, you are Amity Blight!
Luz Noceda - First Person POV
Things have been great lately, school has been great and so has my time with Amity, but I get the feeling she doesn't plan to stop staring at me until class ends. "Amity, I know our relationship isn't as stressed as it was before, but you're sort of making me uncomfortable - I can feel you staring at me..."
I think I scared her when I said that because now she's stuttering. "I-I'm so sorry! I-I-I didn't mean to s-stare! It's just that-that your ears are so c-cute!" Both of our faces turned a deep shade of red. "W-What?" I asked, watching Amity stand up abruptly and run out of the classroom in the middle of the lecture.
I wanted to go after her but I couldn't move - I felt paralyzed, I don't know why - why did she just run away? Why can't I move? What is going on? Amity please come back... Don't go...
I didn't see her again for the rest of the day up until lunch, and even then she was avoiding me like I was the plague - I'm so confused, why is she running away from me?
Third Person Perspective
When it came to be time for lunch Amity was sort of all over the place, hiding in a corner and avoiding her friends while her heart and her brain seemed to be having a disagreement that led into her just having another crisis the moment Luz looked at her.
As Luz walked toward her she stood up and ran from the room as if she was being chased by the demons of all nine hells, leaving the latina extremely confused.
Luz went back to Gus and Willow with the confused look still on her face. "Is something wrong Luz?" Gus asked, the question was quite stupid as the answer is blatantly obvious, and yet the brunette answered it anyway. "Amity has been avoiding me for the majority of today, she ran out of class in the middle of the lecture - she never does that. I wanted to follow her but I just couldn't, I was completely paralyzed..." Luz began to explain her situation.
Once she finished her explanation she could see a look of discomfort cross Willows' face. "Amity hasn't had a real friend since... Since her parents separated us, she's scared she'll do something wrong and that you'll stop being her friend. However cold she may appear to be - she's actually really sensitive when it comes to feelings." The plants witch explained. "No one else knows this, but she's had her heart broken by someone once." Gus chimed in.
This caught Luzs' attention. "Really? Who?" She asked, leaning forward expectantly. "That's just the thing, we only know she had her heart broken once, we never found out who did it." Willow said, clasping her hands together. "That sounds super mysterious and adventure worthy - but, after what happened in the library with her brother and sister, I don't think that this adventure is worth the risk of her friendship." Luz said decidedly, she would be better than Edric and Emira - she wouldn't go behind Amitys' back a second time even if it was by pure accident.
After lunch ended and they headed to class - Willow passed Amity in the hallway. "H-Hey Amity, are you doing alright?" The plants witch asked - afraid of what might happen if she overstepped the boundaries that Amity had so precariously set. "Normally I'd just yell at you and call you names and say I'm okay, but to be honest I just don't have the will to do that right now... I'm not okay, my life was turned upside down by a single person in just a few days! How am I supposed to cope with that?" Amity rambled.
Willow glanced down. "I'm not sure how someone would go about coping with something so severe, have you tried talking to them about your problem?" Willow spoke softly - still tip toeing around the minefield that is Amitys' emotions. "Don't you think I would have already tried that, Willow? I can barely even manage talk to them with a straight face! I can't help but freak out whenever she talks to me!" Amity said in exasperation. "Wait, 'she'? So a girl did this to you? I would have laughed at that back when you were still bullying me, but honestly I don't know how to help you with something like this." Willow said, putting her hands together and looking down at the floor.
As Willow continued trying to console Amity about her problem she tried talking about things that usually made the youngest Blight happy - high grades, being smart, reading, being top student, but when she mentioned Luz - Amity pushed her away and headed off to class. "Was it something I said?"
Oh if Willow only knew what she had just done.
To be continued at some later point in time.
