Luz p.o.v

i wake up monday morning to my blaring alarm. i smack it and sit up while yawning. i look to see it's six-thirty in the morning. i groan as i get up, popping and stretching my body. i get ready and throw on my uniform very half-assed, then going to the bathroom across the hall. i go in and brush my teeth, then hearing the door open. i see a half asleep King stumble in. "morning." he stated solemnly, reaching for his toothbrush.

i spit out my toothpaste and turn to him. "what are you doing up this early?" i question the older but smaller boy next to me. he groans, getting fully ready to complain. here he goes.

"Eda woke me up because she wants me to start waking up as early as her. it makes no sense why she wants to do that too me! is it like, a mom thing?" he asked while looking up to me. King was a foster kid just like me. he doesn't know who his mom is and isn't in contact with his dad. he jumped from house to house a lot because he looked a lot younger than he actually was. it threw off a lot of people so he would go back into the system, until he met Eda.

she welcomed him with open arms and adopted him on his seventeenth birthday, which he actually was the person to bring it up. i came into the house when i was fourteen. in which i got adopted after living the the owl house for two years. my mamá and my sister live about an hour away, to which they visit two times a month.

"no she's just weird." i laugh off, making him smile. i get done brushing my teeth and finish getting ready. i go back to my room and grab my things, then going to head downstairs. i see Eda on the couch drinking coffee.

"hey kid, wanting me to drive you to school? i got up early today." she offers up, setting her cup against the coffee table. i take her on that offer and we head out to the car. better than me riding my skateboard in the ever growing cold mornings. the older lady next to me starts the car and we peel out of the driveway. "got anything after practice?" Eda asks, breaking the comfortable silence in the car.

"nope! Gus has to help tutor Matt and Willow has a date with Boshca." i inform her, turning my head to watch her drive.

"what about Hunter?" she questioned, wondering why i didn't bring him up. i scoff and cross my arms, rolling my eyes and looking out the window.

"he said he can't hang out for the week. he has 'business' he needs to take care of, again." i exaggerated the last part. he's used this excuse multiple times, saying he can't disclose it to anyone. our whole friend group thinks he's seeing someone but just won't tell us, which at a point is getting on our nerves now since he is starting to flake on us more.

"wow, really? this is his second time using that excuse this month." Eda says astonished, i nod my head in agreement.

we pull up to the school and Eda drops me off at the front. i wave goodbye to her and watch her drive off before going inside. once i go in i see people roaming the halls, all talking in their own little groups. i go to my locker and put all my things in there, closing it before going to the cafeteria. i see Gus, Willow, Matt and Hunter all together at our usual spot. i get Gus' attention and he waves me over.

i go and sit down with all of them and they were just having their usual conversation about their weekend. i join in and we talk for about two minutes until i feel Hunter jab me in the side. as i go to hit him back he makes eye contact and very subtly points to a direction, motioning towards something. i turn and see a girl walking up to the table. "hi you guys! i was just just wanting to pull Luz from you." she said sweetly. i already know where this was going.

before any of my friends could protest i stand up, putting on a smile and agreeing to follow her. we walk to almost the other side of school where there was barely any people around. we stop near some lockers and she turns to me, face bright red. "so what's up?" i ask while acting oblivious. okay look, i'm not going to be an ass and say no right on the spot, i'm more of a gentleman than that.
