Luz p.o.v

"Eda, i look fucking stupid." i groan out as i look at myself in the mirror. i had a suit on with a black tie. the collar of the shirt covered up the majority of my hickeys, which were now starting to vanish. since it was a formal event i couldn't even wear my fucking beanie. Eda also decided to straighten my longer tufts of hair, which flattened the poof that they did have.

"you look normal! if you're going to sneak in you have to fit with the crowd. oh and also, i'm sure Amity will drool over you." the older lady teased me standing at the doorway. my face brightened as i turned to her.

"shut it old hag!" i yell defensively and she books it down the hallway. i chase after her and she hides in her room, locking the door behind her.

"sucks for you because i'm your only ride there! hurt me and risk mortal peril!" she yells from the other side of the door. i groan and purse my lips.

"fine just come out! we need to be there in thirty minutes." i grumble out, caving in. she opens the door and laughs, poking me in the forehead as she walks by.

"come on kid, time to go!" i go to my room and grab my things. i head out to meet Eda at the car. it was later in the evening so the sun was starting to set. i get in the front seat and buckle in. i text Amity a message, hoping to ease her worry on the situation.

as we pull up i see the twins on the corner of the street across the town hall. Eda drops me off right in front of them and we all wave bye to her. i turn to see the twins in formal clothes. now that i think about it, i've only ever seen them in their school uniforms besides like one time.

"you ready, Luz?" Emira asked me as she helped straighten up my clothes. i nod to her and thank both the twins for their help. "it's no problem. Mittens likes you way too much for us not to help her."

"also we were kinda assholes to her when she was younger, so we owe her." Edric adds on nonchalantly while shrugging his shoulders. what in the hell did they do to her when she was younger?

we walk across the street and they told me to use all the manners that i know. i was in between the twins as we walk through the doors, the guards didn't even bat an eye. we make it to the theater. it was huge and was all still very old. so many people filled the seats and i could see the news setting up cameras.

i saw a grand piano, three mics, and one music stand. the piano and one of the mics was to the right of me, which was where Amity would be. one mic and the music stand where to the left, where i was guessing the violin player would be. i knew who would be the one with the mic in the center front.

the twins tell me to sit in the back corner of the seats so i would be less noticeable from Hunter and Amity's parents. i nod and take my seat as they walk back down to the front. they take a seat next to a green haired woman and a brown haired guy. i'm guessing those were Amity's parents. they look like assholes.

after about ten minutes the lights start to dim and only three spotlights on stage stay fully lit. a man with long hair walks out from the right wing and waves to everyone. the crowd claps until he gets to the middle mic. "hello people of Bonesborough. we have gathered here today to listen to a spectacular performance by some of the most talented artists in our district. as mayor of Bonesborough, i wanted to introduce them all myself." so that was Hunter's uncle he was talking about. honestly i thought he wouldn't be a fucking twig. "on violin tonight, we have Raine Whispers." a mint green haired person walks out and waves to the crowd, holding their violin and bow in their hand. "on piano, we have Amity Blight."

i see Amity walk out. she looked absolutely beautiful. i've never seen her dress formal before but i thought she looked stunning. she kept a deadpan face on the whole time, bowing to everyone while next to the bench. she always puts up that front in to almost everyone. i see her eyes scan the audience to look for me. as much as i wanted to point myself out, i couldn't. if i did that could cause me to get kicked out.

"last but not least, we have my wonderful nephew singing tonight. everyone put your hands together for Hunter Wittebane." the mayor stepped to the side, holding out his hand. Hunter walked out in a tux looking stupid as hell. he had a smile plastered on his face, soaking up all the attention. i wanted to punch him so fucking hard.

the applause died down after Hunter got to the mic, going to speak. "hello Bonesborough! we are so thankful to have you all here today or watching from home. i would also like to thank my uncle, who came up with this whole performance." holy shit, he put up a front too? is this just a teenage burnout thing? why was he so cheerful? once everyone applauded for a minute or so, the mayor walked off stage and Hunter took full control of the mic. "we have a few songs to perform for you all tonight. our first song will be 'Je Te Laisserai Des Mots' by Patrick Watson. please enjoy."

Amity sits at the piano and takes a deep breath while Raine puts the violin to their chin. Hunter starts to sing while the others play along. as much as i liked this song it pissed me off more than anything seeing my girlfriend up there with the person who hit her in the face.

Hunter closed his eyes, motioning with his hands lightly as he sang along. in my opinion Amity would've been a much better singer for this. once the music stopped everyone applauded quietly, waiting for Hunter to speak again. after another five songs they decided to take a intermission. the three on stage both leave, while some people from the seats stood too.

i see the twins get up and walk up the stairs, eyeing me to follow them. i do and they lead me to a empty hallway. "so what's the deal with here?" i question as they go to a door. Edric opens it, mocking a gentleman and bowing. Emira motions towards me to step in.

"it's a janitors closet. Amity is going to meet you in there." she states in matter of fact way. i raise an eyebrow, not knowing if i should trust her. she groans and rolls her eyes. "Ed get inside." she demands, which he just shrugs his shoulders and enters. Em closes the door on him and he opens it. "see, you won't get locked in there. plus it's to hide you so if Hunter decides to walk out and meet people."

i sigh and go inside, turning on the light. the twins wave to me and close the door. i wait for few minutes and the door opens, Amity standing in the door way. she mumbled about how the twins were dumb and rolled her eyes. she brings her eyes to look at me and i see her face brighten up as she closes the door and runs up to hug me. i wrap my arms around her and bury my face into the crook of her neck. "i'm so happy to see you." the green haired girl beamed. i soak in the moment and hold her close, not wanting to let her go back out there.
