3.Planning
Luz P.O.V.
I am going to do it. I am going to ask Amity to grom. But now I need to find the perfect plan to ask her. What does she like? Does she like big crazy surprises, or small intimate surprises? I am asking all these questions to myself while I am on my way to meet up with Willow and Gus at Willow's house.
I arrive at the door and knock. I hear footsteps coming in the direction of the door. The door opens and it's Willow and Gus with apple blood in their hands.
"Hey guy!" I run up and give them a hug. "I missed both of you so much!"
"Luz you saw us yesterday" Willow laughed.
"I know I saw both of you yesterday at school but even a day without y'all is too long." I let go of the hug.
"So Luz what was so important that you had to come see us today?" Gus said.
"Okay I will tell y'all. But not here." I winked and pointed around us to show that we were still standing in the door way. I have to make sure no one else will know my plans to ask Amity to grom.
"Ooo this sounds serious" Gus turned to Willow.
"Okay let's go to my room." Willow said as she lead us upstairs. I have been to Willows house countless times in the couple months I have known her, she really is my first real and best friend.
We get to Willow's room and I close the curtains on the windows for a dramatic effect.
"Guys, what I am about to say in this room may not leave this room. I have some very important news. But before I tell you, I have good news for Willow."
Willow looked at me with wide eyes, "what?!"
"So as you know, I was with Amity yesterday for our book club. And we were talking about grom and you came up, and well... Boscha wants you to ask her to grom!!" I squealed.
Willow started blushing profusely. "Luz omg, does that mean Amity knows I have been trying to ask Boscha to grom?"
"Yes but don't worry she won't tell anyone. Plus this is good news! Now you can ask Boscha without being worried she will say no!" I run up to Willow and give her a hug.
Willow hugs me back. "You are right. Thanks Luz. Now I just have to find the perfect time to ask her."
"I'm so happy for you Willow! And now that we are on the topic of grom, what I wanted to tell you all about was.." I took in a deep breath, "I am going to ask Amity to grom!" I said proudly.
"WHAT" Gus and Willow both screamed.
"I know I know, It's crazy right? Ugh then maybe I shouldn't do it." I looked down.
"No Luz, you have to do it. Sorry we were just a little surprised that's all. Gus and I already ship you and Amity. We talk about it all the time." Willow said as her and Gus nodded their heads.
"You ship us!" I started laughing. "Well I hope she says yes when I ask her to grom."
"She definitely will" Gus stated, "remember the rumor that Willow told you about? About Amity having a crush?"
I nodded.
"Well it's definitely you!!!" Gus yelled.
"I hope you are right. Anyway I need help planning what I should do to ask her. I tried asking Eda and King but they were no help." I signed.
"Don't worry Luz we can definitely help" Willow said. "Yes we will make sure it is the best gromposal in Hexside history! Gus jumped up and used one of his illusion spells to make sparkles.
Hopefully they are right. I need this to go well. Although I just realized my feelings for Amity, I want her to know about them.

Amity P.O.V.
When I got home last night I went straight to my room and closed my door. All I could think about was Luz and how I had been so close to telling her the way I felt.
Dinner with my family was quite. My mother did however ask me and my siblings about who we are taking to grom and suggested one of her friends kids for each of us. Only the best, right?
After dinner I went upstairs to get ready for bed. I took a shower, brushed my teeth, got in my pjs and finally sat down at my desk to write in my diary.
'Dear diary, today I went over to the owl house with Luz for our Azura book club. I had a lot of fun and I love hanging out with her, she is the first person to make me laugh so hard I can hardly breathe. I like her more and more every day. I almost told her how I felt! I can't believe I almost did. What if that ruins our friendship? But what if she feels the same way! I don't know what to do and I hope she will ask me to grom. - Amity'
I close my diary and go to sleep.

I awake the next morning to Edric and Emira laughing. I open my eyes and see my siblings reading my diary.
"What are you doing!" I yell at them and get up to grab my diary.
Edric holds it up to where I can't reach it. "No, no, no." He laughs.
"Edric give it back!" I jump up and try to grab it.
"Aww mittens, we were just reading about your little crush on the human." Emira giggles. "It's really cute."
"Yeah and how you want her to ask you to grom. Aww our little mittens is growing up." Edric says while still holding my diary over my head.
I feel my face heat up. " You guys can't tell anyone! Especially mom and dad. You know how they would react to ya know- a human."
"You mean how they will act when they find out you have a crush on a human?" Emira suggest "don't worry we won't say anything, that would make us bad siblings."
"Plus we like Luz. She was fun to hangout with at the library." Edric finally gives me my diary back" So your secret is safe with us."
"Thanks now get out of my room!" I yell.
Edric and Emira run out laughing.
I spell my door shut. I put my diary back in my desk drawer and lay back down on my bed. 'What a great way to wake up' I think to myself sarcastically.
My scroll rings and I find myself hoping it's the human. I turn my scroll over and see it's Boscha. I am a little disappointed but I answer.
"Hello?" I say.
"Amity! Hi! I almost didn't think you would answer" Boscha says.
"What do you want Boscha it's 8 am on a Saturday. You should be asleep." I groan.
"Just wanted to see if you wanted to hangout today. Skara invited us over to her house."
"Sure. Just give me 30 minutes to get ready."
"Okay call me when you are ready. Bye Amity."
"Bye Boscha."
I hang up my scroll and begin to get ready.

Luz P.O.V.
After being at Willows house for a couple hours, we have a couple ideas for asking Amity to grom, but I feel like I haven't found the perfect idea yet.
"Ooo!! I have a good idea" Gus raise his hand.
"Okay what is it?" I point at Gus.
"So get this, we teach everyone a dance an preform a flash mob after school for Amity." Gus says smiling like it's the best idea ever.
"Uh I am going to have to say no to that. Sorry Gus." I pat him on the back.
"It's getting late guys, I think we should rap this part up." Willow gets up and starts cleaning up all the trash from the food we ate.
"Aw. I thought we could have a sleepover." I help Willow clean up.
"Sorry Luz but my parents are taking me to the Boiling Isles garden tomorrow morning and it's a long drive so I have to wake up early." Willow smiles at me.
"Oh okay, well thanks for helping me y'all. I will let you know what I decide to do." I give Willow and Gus a hug goodbye.
"Bye Luz!" They wave goodbye.
As I am walking home I am trying to think of the perfect way to ask Amity. All of a sudden it hits me. I run home to start prepping.
