Amity Pov:

I couldn't believe it. Luz. Staying in the Boiling Isles?! I felt faint, though I had to keep my composier. However, that didn't stop the flow of blood to my cheeks, feeling them burning. It didn't help that I was in the same class with her right now and I swore I could feel her staring, though when I glanced over to Luz she was as dorky looking as can be.

"-ity.. Amity.... Amity-!"

"H-Huh-?! Wha-?!" I blinked, snapping out of it, only to find myself staring at Luz. She was looking at me with a curious smile, one brow raised as she softly giggled. I felt my chest tighten, quickly glancing back down to my notes as my hand shook with the pencil.

"Hehe, wow, Amity Blight not focusing on school work for once?"

"S-Shut up-" I huffed, though a subtle smile played along my lips.

"Am I thaaaat distracting~?" She slowly leaned over towards me, and I could feel the hairs along my neck stand on end. My cheeks flaring before pushing her away with a playful scoff.

"Hardly..-" I jumped when the bell screamed, ending the hour for us. We both packed our things, then headed out the door together. It was... nice.. to have her around more often.

"So which class do you have next, Ams?"

My ears burned and ached to move, but I forced them to stay still. "I have a bard class next."

Luz tilted her head in confusion. "I thought you were just abominations?"

I let out a slight snort. "Well, since we defeated Belos, all the schools on the Isles decided to let everyone mix their magic. Plus-" I sighed, slightly grumbling. "Skara.. kept pestering Boscha and I into it after she heard about the new curriculum.."

"Huh, well good thing we have that class together too, huh?" She grinned.

I paused. "Wait- we do??"

"Hehe, yea! I took every subject, remember?" She showed off her schedule, which included most of every magic type ever. How did Bump even manage to fit it all? Oh well, I wasn't complaining. That just meant I had more time to spend with Luz. No matter how many times I'd think about that fact, I'd always feel that joyful sensation in my chest.

Once we made it in the classroom I went to sit in my usual seat next to Boscha, who looked between us before shifting over a seat next to Skara.

"Wha- I could've just sat there, ya know? You didn't have to move-"

"Oh don't worry about it, take it Luz." She said while waving her hand at her. I looked over to Boscha with a half-assed glare, only making her smirk and wink over at me. I may be playing it off.. but I was grateful to her anyhow.

Luz shrugged before sitting next to me, rolling my eyes slightly at Boscha before throwing a glance over to the human, catching her gaze before my own darted off to the side. A slight tinge of pink on my face.

Thankfully, the professor walked in at that time. "Good afternoon, class. Today we'll be demonstrating our instrumental skills."

"Wait- what do you guys even play? I know Skara has her harp- but what about you both?" Luz pointed at both Boscha and I with confusion.

"I may play the harp, but classical instruments aren't always what you have to play, Boscha here plays the bass." Skara said, pointing her thumb over to the three eyed witch who gave a salute in return.

"What about you, Amity?"

My ears perked as my cheeks flushed pink. "O-Oh, I uh- I play the violin actually, but I'm not any good at it-" I laughed nervously. This was the moment I had realized.. I never played in front of Luz before. I swallowed.
