Facing Your Fears

Amity's POV

The smell of love through the air filled the air as I walked through the halls of Hexside. Streamers and banners were being hung up. I never really understood the whole thing of asking some out or getting dressed up for a date. The thought just never appealed to me. Every year, I just went with Bocsha, Skara and few other friends as a group. I never understood it, until I started hanging out with Luz. Now that girl was in my every thought. She makes me blush from the smallest things and can always make me laugh. I can be myself when I'm with her. It wasn't until a week ago that the realization hit me. I was in love with Luz.

Over the last few days, I have thought of countless ideas on how to ask her to the dance. When I finally decided on just writing a note, it took several hours on what I would say. Emotional vulnerability is never my strong suit. I was walking through halls with my note to Luz and I wasn't paying attention until I bumped into something. I fell on my butt as my books and the letter fell on the floor. "Watch it nitwit!" I said instinctively. I looked to see who I bumped into and of course it had to be Luz. My heart started to beat faster than normal. "Oh sorry, Luz. And co." Luz helped pick up my book as I stood up.

"Oh, and I think this is yours." Luz said, holding the letter.

My heart started to beat faster as the butterflies felt like they were going to burst out of my stomach. I yanked the letter out of her hand.

"Ohh. Quick grabbers." Luz joked making claw motions.

"It -It's, it's private." I said.

'This is your chance. Take her away from the crowd and ask her.' I thought to myself. But before I could, the intercom came on.

"Good morning students. This is your principal. I am pleased to announce that this year's champion is...Amity Blight."

My heart dropped as my worst fear was going to be on display for everybody to see. They are all going to see me being rejected by the human. Not only that, but they are going to find out I'm gay. The other students stared at me and whispered. Luz however, did the exact opposite.

"Woohoo!. Oh yeah. Get it girl. Amity!" Luz cheered, only to realize that no one else was joining in. Sometimes I really wondered why I loved this girl.

I did the only sensible thing at that moment, I ran. Hiding in the gym, I sat on the top of the bleachers, staring at the floor. Why did it have to be me of all people? Why
couldn't it have been someone like Willow and her fear of Ladybugs? Or Boscha and her fear of spiders? But no, it had to the witch whose fear was to ask out another girl. "My life is over." I said out loud.

My thoughts were interrupted as Luz came into the gym. I saw her push the button, opening the trap door and bringing up the weapons. "Their not for decoration." I said walking towards Luz. "This is where I'll make my debut as Grom queen." I told her the story of Gromethous, the fear bringer. How it tries to escape every year and has to be defeated by the Grom king/queen. How it takes the form of your biggest fear. The little voice in my head spoke again. 'This is your chance. No one is around. Give her the letter and ask her.' I sighed as I pulled out the letter. I turned around to Luz. Here goes everything.

"Luz, I – I want you to have this." I hesitantly gave her the note, our fingers brushing just for a moment. My face heated up at the quick contact. Why does her hand have to be soft?

She took the note and opened it eying me suspiciously. Her eyes widen and a huge blush covered her face. "You – You want me to be your date to Grom?"

I nodded weakly, my blush growing bigger by the moment.

"I'd love to."

"It's completely fine if you don't want to. I just." I blinked for a second, staring at the Latino. "Wait what did you say?"
