Playing A Part [complete]

Vee 9#

"oh no oh no" I wake up Friday morning and look in the mirror, I turned back into my half luz and half basilisk from I cant go to school like this, I check for some cards but find none. "Camila!" I shout down the stairs she runs up to my room "what's wrong Vee" she has a worried expression on her face, "I don't have anymore hex and holdems cards I cant go to school like this" I say gesturing at my self. Camila thinks for a moment, "how about I'll call the

principle and say your sick today and tomorrow or later today you and me will go look for some ok?" she says, I relax a little "ok thank you but don't you have work?" she nods "I do, are you ok staying here by yourself?" Camilla asks, I nod "yes I can do that" she smile "ok good don't go out don't let anyone in ok bye" she says and kisses my forehead, I smile "bye" she closes the door, I sit on the stairs not sure what to do, ok so I might be lying to her I said i just

ran out today but it happened yesterday at school. I started to change back during class, Masha gave me a strange look, but as soon as class was over I left and ran to the janitors closet at school. I don't know how much long I will be able to hide it at school I'm pretty sure Masha knows or suspects something, I have been acting weird, I don't know what to do, I text my friends that I'm sick and wont be coming to day they all text me get better and get well soon

texts. I smile I have good friends. I walk downstairs to grab a snack, I decide to make something I grab the turkey and cheese as well as some bread and put it on the counter I proceed to make my self a sandwich before i hear a tapping noise? I look around till I see the tv on, wait but I didn't turn it on I walk over and see Luz like Luz, Luz. "hey" I say she smile and looks at me "oh good it worked, hey vee um I was wondering if mom was home I got the

portal type thing to work again and explained to them that I need an hour or so where is she?" Luz asks, I sigh "umm she's not here right now she went to work but I can give her a message or better yet show her a video" i say, Luz smiles "that would be great thanks vee. so how are things there?" she asks I shrug "its ok I started going to your school thankfully my friends from camp go there. I ran into a guy named Duke but got him suspended for the week for

setting off the sprinklers even though it was me I was trying to help a girl get home because your school is being cruel about not letting her go home after her brother died in a car crash. also it was partly revenge. also I'm playing Romeo in a play now its great- wait I'm boring you aren't I?" i say second guessing myself, luz shakes her head. "no its great to hear stuff from that realm from time to time" I smile "good. so how's your girlfriend?" I tease, Luz gets

all red (Luz has mentioned Amity before to vee) "its going good I really want to tell mom about her" I nod "I'm sure she would love to hear how about if you can come back in an hour or two and if you can bring yourgirlfriend and i'll text Camila that you want to talk deal?" Luz nods "yep I would love that thank you vee your the best" I smile as Luz disappears. I go to finish my sandwich and call Camila. "vee is there something wrong?" she asks with concern

"no I just was wondering if you could be back in a hour I have a surprise for you" I say "ok vee I think I can see you then bye" she hangs up I smile maybe I can do something right for once, an hour passes and Camilla drives up, at the same time Luz and her girlfriend show up in the tv again. "hey Luz hey luz's girlfriend who I still don't know your name" they both laugh "I'm Amity you must be vee" I nod before hearing the front door open. "vee I'm back whats

the surprise." I smile "come into the living room" she walks in and looks at me confused before I point at the tv, Camilla smile "hello momma" she says and smiles Camilla has tears "Miji when are you coming home?" Luz shrugs "that's actually what I wanted to talk about you see I love you very much and its not your fault I chose to stay here its mine because I actually have friends here and a girlfriend" she says the last part with a smile on her face. Camilla's eyes

go wide "a girlfriend who is she" Luz pulls Amity over in front so her mom can see "hi miss Noceda I'm amity" Camilla's face turns into a smile "hi Amity if you both were here I would give you a hug" Camilla sighs "look luz I love that you have made friends and a girlfriend but I miss you so much I don't know what to do with out you" that last sentence broke me I will never be Luz I keep a smile on my face to show nothing is wrong but inside I'm hurt. Camilla

Luz and Amity make up an agreement that when they get the portal fixed. Luz has to visit every weekend and holiday and Amity has to come with her. I smile and leave them to talk. I walk up to my room feeling sad. I will never belong anywhere I just have to play the part till Luz moves back then poof I'm back in the demon realm I fall asleep with tears at the edge of my eyes just till Luz comes back I'm safe......
