Amity p.o.v

it's happening. stay calm. she's just holding your hand, no big deal. even though she initiated it and held my hand until the end of class. thank god for being left handed. when the bell rang we let go of each other's hand and packed everything up. we head out to our next class together and talk about what our plan should be for when we have our friends show up. "we should probably check all the sound systems and clean the instruments." i offer up as we walk side by side down the hallway.

"yeah, probably for the best. we don't know how old or how damaged all that shit is. if some of the instruments don't work then i have mine we can use." she agrees looking over to me. i nod my head and we just go on with our conversation.

"hi Amity." i freeze in my tracks. i know who's voice that is. i turn around slowly to see Hunter walk up to me and Luz. i hear the brunette next to me cuss under her breath. "oh and you." he gives a disgusted look to Luz.

"what do you need Hunter?" i ask deadpanned, trying to not let his comments get to me. he turns his head back to me and smiles.

"oh, i was just wondering if you were excited for the performance that my uncle is hosting." he boasts, wait what?

"what performance?" i ask him, my eyebrows starting to furrow.

"your parents or Ms. Clawthorne must have not told you yet. well, i guess i can be the one to tell you." he replies in a happy tone like he was excited. "my uncle set up a performance in town hall and your parents offered you up for playing the piano! he and your parents talked with Ms. Clawthorne and she happily said she'll teach you the music. i'll be doing singing, since it's for my uncle, and we got someone to preform the violin." i feel my stomach drop. this can't be happening.

"when is this happening?" i ask him trying to keep myself together.

"in about two weeks actually." he says with a prominent smile, i see his eyes move next to me to Luz. "why are you still here?" his voice turning sour.

"Amity is my tutor. we were talking about an assignment, until you had to come in and ruin it." venom was laced in her voice as she put a hand on her hip and looked him up and down. he simply ignores her and turns back to me.

"it was wonderful seeing you Amity. if you ever need me to put this heathen in place feel free to let me know." he points to Luz and then pats me on top of my head walking down the hallway.

"fucking bastard." Luz mumbles glaring at him the whole time. i felt like i was going to throw up, i can't preform in front of my parents. not just my parents but the mayor. i disassociate while looking at the ground. i feel a hand on my shoulder causing me to jump. i figured out it was Luz. "hey, Ams what's wrong?" i turn and hand her my things.

"can you tell the teacher that i'm in the bathroom? i need a few minutes." i usher out and walk away towards the bathroom, i could feel bile rise to my throat. i enter and run into a stall, i make sure to lock it behind me and i stand trying to keep myself together from having a breakdown. i hear the bell ring and just hope Luz heard me and told the teacher. i try my best not to throw up and cry.

i can't do this. it's different preforming for a bunch of people you don't know then preforming for your parents and the every other socialite in Bonesborough. i feel my eyes well up with tears as i keep pushing them down. if i fuck this all up i won't get my family's fortune, everything i've worked for will go to waste. my parents will punish me and i'll be the fuck up of town. there's most likely going to be news people there recording it. if i mess up on one note i could be done for.

i close my eyes and tears start spilling out. i sob quietly as i lean against the bathroom stall. this can't be happening to me. i try so hard to put up a forefront that's not afraid, but it's all crumbling right in front of me. as i cry i hear the bathroom door open. i put my hands over my mouth and close my eyes, trying to stay as silent as possible. "Ams?" my eyes shoot open as i unlock the door and open it. i see Luz standing there, her eyes wide looking at me. the tears spill out even faster, my vision constantly blurred. "oh my god Amity." she runs over and pulls me into a hug. i wrap my hands around her neck and bury my face into her shoulder.

"i'm sorry Luz." i stutter out between sobs.

"don't be sorry, it's going to be okay. what's wrong? when you didn't show up for a few minutes, the teacher sent me to see if you were okay." she explains still holding me.

"i'm scared Luz. my parents, the mayor, everyone. everyone will watch me play and if i mess up everything can go down the drain." i feel her start to rub circles on my back.

"you'll do amazing cariño. i believe in you one hundred percent." she tries to comfort me speaking softly. i blink the rest of the tears i had and pull away from Luz.

"would you go? i don't want to be there alone." i ask her looking her in the eyes. she reaches up her hands to cup my face and used her thumbs to wipe tears away.

"i would love to do that, señorita bonita." she gives me a small smile and kisses my forehead. i bring up my hands to hers and hold them. comfort overcoming the worry.

"can you kiss me?" i ask her looking her in the eyes. she gives a small smile and nods to me, leaning in and kissing me. i lean into the kiss closing my eyes. she pulls away and looks me in the eyes.

"wanna get yourself together and head back to class?" she offered. i nod my head and walk over to the sink and try not to look like i balled my eyes out. my eyes were swollen and stung. not much makeup came off so that was good. "ya know... i also wouldn't be against skipping class if you want." she smiles and walking over to the sink.

"sadly i can't, but i would love to." i say turning around to face her. "now let's get to class before the teacher comes looking for us himself."
