Three Eyes on You

Chapter 3

the first person to notice her new look was Luz, mostly because she was standing directly outside the bathroom. "Woah! What's with the new look?" Luz asked in her, as usual, very loud and cheery voice. "Well, I do still need to go to school, and I don't want my parents, or anyone else, to recognize me," Boscha replied. Luz pondered this for a moment. "Oh, that makes sense." Luz thought out loud. "But if you're looking to not get recognized, you'd need a fake name. Luckily for you," She booped Boscha on the nose, "I've already thought of one. How do you feel about the name... Beatrix Jones?" Luz questioned.

"Sounds nice. Maybe because you came up with it." Boscha smirked, and Luz promptly blushed. Boscha already knew about the mutual feelings, and she was waiting for Luz to make the first move, but that didn't mean she couldn't have some fun with it. "Anyways, we gotta be getting to Hexside, and I have to pretend to be a new student." Boscha sighed, as she would now be at the very bottom of the social ladder, unlike when she was, well, Boscha. "Time to experience everything the lower-class does, I guess." She whispered to herself. She put on the uncolored uniform (you know the one) and followed Luz to Hexside.

Her current destination was Principal Bump's office. She knocked on the door, and a second later it opened. She went inside and took a seat across from Bump. "Hello there, principal. I understand that you have been expecting me." Boscha did in her best not-her-own voice. "Yes, I have. Now, before we get into the more important things, I need your full name, because this Admission Form only has your first name." Bump addressed in a quite monotone voice.

"I see. Well, you may refer to me as Beatrix Jones." Boscha stated in, once again, not her own voice. "Good to know. Well, since that's over, What track would you prefer to be in?" Bump asked. Boscha thought this over for a moment. "Well, I think I'd like the Plant Track," Boscha concluded. And so it was as such. On her way to class, Boscha saw quite a few things. One of those things happened to be bullying, happening right in the middle of the hallway, where everybody can see. At least when Boscha did it, people could barely tell. "These bozos are just ameteurs." She thought to herself.

But enough about that. Right now is the time to make up with Willow. Upon walking into the greenhouse, Willow was the first thing she noticed. Though, that may have been because she was standing directly in front of the doorway. "Hello there, Beatrix." Willow spoke as if to say "I Know." And to this, Boscha sighed internally. Of course, Luz would tell her friends about this. she is Luz, after all. "Damn. I thought I could be your friend without the whole 'redemption' business, but I guess not." Boscha admitted. "It's not like I'm really holding your actions against you. I'm just making sure that you're good. I know Luz trusts you, but she trusts most people, so don't take that for too much." Willow said.

And of course, Boscha knew that. But she also knew that what she held for the human was a crush, not a grudge. "I am aware, but I already know how I feel for her." Boscha retorted, to which she was given a smirk in response. "How gullible. You just gave me exactly what I was looking for." Willow said defiantly. "And that is?" Boscha asked. "The truth." Willow just coughed out in response. It was at this point that she realized; Willow just baited her so that she could see for herself Boscha's exact feelings about Luz.

"Well, it's time for class. Since you're new to the whole Plant thing, and since I'm probably the only one here who's going to talk to you today, I'll show you how it is done." Boscha spent the rest of the day in class with Willow, and they were actually pretty good friends after it was established that Boscha was not the same person she used to be. In fact, she had been comfortable enough to quickly mention a crush of her own. The crush in question was the esteemed Amity Blight. Though as impossible as it seemed to Willow, Boscha was sure that Amity felt the same.

In truth, she knew that Amity felt the same, because on the few days that Amity was her only visitor, Willow was all she would talk about, and during these talks, she'd have a gay panic just about 3 times in every single sentence. Boscha found it hilarious, actually. Two people with the same feelings, and neither knows that the other has them. Of course, she couldn't just tell Willow about the secret that Amity had entrusted to her own safekeeping. After all, she wasn't a monster.

She maybe looked like one with her three eyes, but she wasn't. If she was a monster, she would have been much harsher on people before she basically faked her own death. But now she knew she couldn't afford to be the way she was before, not that she'd ever be like that again. But if she slipped up with the name thing, or accidentally spoke in her own voice enough times, she'd be screwed.

"...But the point is, I think you have a chance, Flowers." Boscha concluded finally. Willow snickered at the name. "So, I have a friendly nickname now? Though I will admit, calling me that sounds like a better idea than calling me Half-A-Witch." Willow said. "Well if I'm gonna be your friend, I can't really call you that, now can I?" Boscha asked.

"Well, I guess not. Anyway, you sound like a completely different person! How did Luz manage that?" Willow asked in a knowing tone. "Oh shut up, you already got that information out of me like 3 hours ago." Boscha groaned.

So hey, I managed to write a school chapter. I admittedly have no idea how Hexside works, so it would be expected for it to be inaccurate.

But hey, I actually wrote something. Have a nice Day/Night wherever you are.
