Bloom Into You [Lumity AU] (DISCONTINUED)

❀A Heart Beating❀

"Okay Student Council! Let's crush the competition!" Amity put her hand in the middle and we all did a quick cheer.

"Yeah!" Viney and Jerbo said excitedly while on the other hand, Boscha and I were barely there.

"You two! We can't win unless you go out there with more enthusiasm!" Amity said while pointing a finger at the two of us.

"I don't think we stand much of a chance against the athletic clubs." I said lifelessly.

"You can't go into a fight thinking that you've already lost!" Amity was trying to boost our confidence, but it wasn't working very well. She's always so competitive.

"But that's not what we're trying to say." Boscha clarified.

"Why are you so pumped up about this relay, anyway?" I asked.

"Oh, that's because-"

"Well, well, well. It seems that the student council isn't much of a threat this year!" An unfamiliar girl said, stepping near us.

Amity turned around and furrowed her eyebrows, "Skara!"

"Victory will be mine!" She yelled, "Even though it won't be the first time." She smirked, challenging Amity.

"You're not the only ones who have been preparing for today! We've been training nonstop, so don't think you'll win that easily!" Amity said confidently as they were now face to face.

While this Skara girl and Amity were arguing, I was standing with the rest of the team, confused.

"What is happening?" I stared at them, one eyebrow lifted. 

"Our captain really hates to lose." Gus said, walking over to me, "From what I hear, she is super competitive with Amity, especially in gym."

"Well, they look like good friends to me." I said, "Which runner are you for your team?" I asked him.

"The third one. But to be honest, I really wanted to be the fourth runner..." He said.

"Are you two done yet?" Someone said to Amity and Skara. Isn't that Gus's crush? I still don't know their name.

"Oh! I get it, that one person you like is running fifth." I put together the pieces.

"Yep, I really wanted to pass off the baton to them." Gus said in disappointment. 

"Gus! Do not fraternize with the enemy!" Skara yelled at Gus.

"That goes for Luz, too!" Amity yelled. Gus and I laughed and finally went our separate ways.

 Amity jogged over to us and turned around to watch the basketball team walk away, "We're definitely going to leave them in the dust!" She huffed.

--

"Luz!" I turned around to the person calling my name. It was Willow.

"Good luck." She smiled.

"You too." I said.

"What about me?" Gus whined.

"You're fast enough without me cheering you on." Willow chuckled.

Soon, we heard a girl's voice come on the intercom, "We will now commence the inter-club relay race."

The person holding the fake gun raised it into the air and prepared to shoot. As soon as the trigger was set off, the first set of racers started off strong.

"Luz!" Gus waved over to me while standing on the track. I walked over to him.

"I'm getting kinda nervous." He stretched as he got ready to start.
