{Just a Rumor} COLLEGE AU

Warming up?

LUZ POV:

After decorating, I just sit on my bed and scroll on my phone for a bit. I'm still a bit hurt from what Amity said..but it's not her fault. She doesn't know me, well, the real me of course. I just wish she'd give me a chance.

Amity POV:
That Noceda girl has been in her room for 3 hours. She's probably doing weed or something. Or maybe I just actually hurt her feelings..wait, why do I care? She's not even a good person. She's not worth thinking about.. yet why is she on my mind? I hate her. And I hate the fact that I'm going to have to spend the rest of college with her.  Although I meant what I said,I still feel bad that I yelled at her. Maybe I should apologize. It wouldn't mean anything though. I get up from where I was sitting, and go up to her door. It doesn't smell like weed...or any kind of drug. I hesitate for a moment, but lightly knock on the door. After waiting for a few seconds, I hear a "Come in." And slowly opened the door. Luz was just sitting on her bed...playing on her phone..not..doing anything bad. Was I wrong about her? Probably not. I catch a whiff of the scent it her room, and it smells like some kind of ferbreeze sent. My eyes wonder for a bit and I spot the Bi flag hanging over her bed. Luz is bi? Noted. Not that I'll need it or anything. I make eye contact with her, and she seems shocked to see me. "Oh uh..hey." She says. "Hey.." I say back, and walk further into the room. "I'm...sorry for yelling at you like that..that doesn't mean I didn't mean it!" I can feel myself tense up a bit. "But, I didn't mean to say it so rudely. So, I'm sorry..I guess."
"Uh..thanks..that means a lot coming from you." Luz says with a awkward smile. It's kind of cute..but in a stupid way I guess. I can see dimples on each side of her lips. Why is my heart racing? It doesn't mean anything. She's just a druggie with dents in her stupid face. I nod, and walk out, closing the door behind me.  I never really got a good look at her before just now. With her short hair, with the long pieces in the front, covering it with a red beanie. Her purple striped shirt with a green jacket. Black jeans with a few rips near the knees, and white vans. Her light brown eyes. Her purplish brownish hair, and her tan skin. How was she so pretty? Not pretty. Just, alluring? No. She's something. Something not worth my time. She probably keeps drugs in her jacket pockets or something. Or not, but I can't know for sure. Classes start tomorrow, and there's a small part of me that wants to see Luz. Maybe I was wrong about her..or not. I need to stop thinking these stupid thoughts.  It was near dinner time, and I should probably make something to eat. I go to the little section that's supposed to be a kitchen, and see what's in the fridge. There's not really anything, so I close it and look in the cabinets. There is a box with packs of ramen noodles in it. Good enough I guess, I take one and get a pot, and start boiling some water. This is probably the cheapest meal I've had ever.

Luz POV:
Did Blight just apologize? Well..not really, it was kind of half assed..but it was still something. Maybe there is a chance at friendship with her. I noticed she was looking at my pride flag, almost like she was taking a mental note. Why would it matter? Eh, I'm probably overthinking shit again.  It doesn't matter, she was just looking around. I'm not even hungry for dinner right now, so I guess I'll just go to sleep. I mean, I've got class in the morning. I get up, change into some pajamas, then flop back into bed. Today was surprisingly long, and we didn't even have any real schoolwork to do. As I start to fall asleep, Amity popped into my head again..she seemed like she meant the apology. Which made me smile a bit. My thoughts are interrupted when I finally drift off to sleep.

Amity POV:
Noceda's TikTok sounds died down, so I'm guessing she went to sleep. Sleep without eating? Not that it matters of course. I put the flavor packet into the pot that held the noodles, and stirred. I might have to recheck my schedule for tomorrow. Hex side is a pretty big school, so I could get lost easily. And I can't have that. I need to be the top student again. My mother is expecting it. I have always been that way- ever since I was in elementary school. Top student, with straight A's. I enjoyed the praise my mother gave me.  But she's always been so strict with that kind of stuff.. like if I got a 98% on a test, she'd tell me I wasn't good enough, and how I could've tried harder and gotten 100%. It's only happened like once or twice, but it still made me feel..worthless. So I usually just listen to what she tells me. The only secret I've hid since 8th grade is that I'm a lesbian. She's never really supported the LGBT, saying that "they're kind is just confused" or something. Now that I think about it, I may be a bit scared.. that's why I keep pushing people away from me. Or I befriend people I can't get close to. Just in case my heart gets the best of me, and I end up catching feelings...because there is nothing worse then my mom finding out about me, and disowning me or something. I get shivers just thinking about it..

I didn't even realize I finished eating until I looked down and I had an empty bowl. Wow, I must've got caught up in my thoughts. I put my bowl in the sink, and rinse it out and such. As I make my way to my room, I pass by Noceda's room. I pause for a second and look over. I can still remember her face from earlier when I yelled..she seemed visibly shocked and hurt. Maybe I should be a bit nicer.. but whatever. I can't focus my life around Luz. I just need to focus and get to sleep. I have a big day tomorrow. I continue walking until I get to my door, and go inside my room. I get undressed, put my pajamas on, and let out a light sigh. I slowly get into my bed, shut off my lamp, and drift off to sleep.
(This is what Amity's room looks like!)
