Just A Few More Minutes

By: Tired_Leaf

Amity shifted anxiously in her seat as her golden eyes darted from her notes to the teacher, to the clock above the chalkboard. Usually, she was always focused, diligently taking notes and being the first to answer any questions that the teacher asked. But today, however, Amity could not sit still. She did not care that today was a Friday, nor did she care that her siblings would be out of the house mostly due to it being a weekend. No, Fridays were Azura book club days. Which meant spending time with Luz for several hours, engrossed in their favorite book series. A time where she could laugh and smile without a care in the world. Where the world did not look down on her, watching her every move to criticize her once she slipped up. To make its snarky remarks and harsh comments until she choked on the tears she could not release.

No, Fridays she could rest. She could spend hours listening to her girlfriend make funny voices as she read from the Azura books, or even gossiping with her about the newest things she had learned. As soon as the bell screamed throughout the silent halls of Hexside, Amity was quick to neatly pack everything away in her bookbag. "Miss. Blight!" Her teacher called after her, making her tense for a moment. "Yes sir?" She adjusted her posture before turning to give her professor her undivided attention. "I hope you're doing alright. You seemed awfully quiet today. Is everything alright?" Her teacher asked as the abomination that carried him led him to his desk to pack up his papers. "Yes sir, I'm just a bit tired is all. I stayed up quite late studying for the test today." She partially lied. Yes, she had stayed up an hour extra to study, but she was far from tired. "Ah, I see! Well, don't stay up too late! You are the top student and I would hate to see you slip up! Please get plenty of rest over the weekend." Her professor requested as he finally grabbed his briefcase.

Amity released a breath she did not realize she was holding. "Yes sir, you have a nice weekend as well," Amity said her goodbyes before heading out into the now crowded hallways. She finally reached her locker, listening as students who passed her talked about their plans for the weekend. Some were planning sleepovers, others going shopping, and on the rare occasion, a few students panicking about needing to pass a test or they would fail. Amity began putting her books away in exchange for books she'd need to take home and study with. As she debated on taking the Abomination 101 and The History of Abomination books with her, she didn't realize the human sneaking up behind her. She nearly squeaked once she felt something cover her eyes, vision going dark. She nearly summoned an abomination, till the sweet voice of her girlfriend prevented her from doing so.

"Can you guess who?" She asked, obviously having a big smile on her face. Amity bit the inside of her cheek, trying to prevent the large smile trying to make its way onto her face. "Hmm, is it...Willow?" Amity joked, finally letting a small smile form. Luz made a noise in the back of her throat, clearly surprised by Amity's response. She didn't expect the young witch to go along with her antics. Suspecting she'd try and scold her for surprising her or summon one of her abominations out of reflex. The little joke made Luz's large smile shift into a smaller softer one. "Nope, but you get an A for effort." Luz joked as she pulled her hands away from Amity's eyes. She allowed them to fall at her sides, though she wanted nothing more than to grasp Amity's. Amity took notice of Luz's hands twitch, tempted to reach out and hold her own, however they held back. For all the students of Hexside knew, the two were just really close friends, and that's how it needed to stay. Amity couldn't handle the idea of someone telling her parents that she was in a romantic relationship with the only human in the boiling isles.

Amity grabbed what she needed and followed Luz out of school. Willow and Gus were currently waiting on them outside and once Willow noticed her friends coming towards them and gave them a small smile and wave. "So, what are you two up to this weekend?" Willow asked as the group began to walk away from the school. "Ooo! You guys should come over tonight and watch a horror movie! I just got Rise of the Dead!" Gus announced, eyes sparkling at the thought. Luz and Amity were quick to share a look. "Actually, Amity and I have plans for this evening. How about tomorrow?" Luz suggested. Gus seemed to think it over for a second before shrugging understanding and agreeing to the idea. Thus, the conversation turned to planning on who would bring what. By the time the group reached a crossroad, Luz stopped Amity. "Actually, Amity and I are gonna head this way," Luz stated, pointing towards the opposite road that she wished to travel. Willow and Gus exchanged a look, even Amity looked at Luz oddly. "But, doesn't that way take longer to get to the owl house?" Gus asked, raising an eyebrow. Luz took a moment to answer, though Amity could clearly see the wheels turning in her head. "Actually, I need to pick up some moss and stuff and it specifically grows in this part of the forest, and Amity here offered to help!" Luz stated with her normally excited tone. Amity blinked, clearly confused about what was happening.
