Hello. My name is Augustus Porter, and I am a terrible friend, and a worse illusionist.
Head buried in my arms, I could just barely make out the sounds of footsteps approaching me. I'm not sure who I wanted it to be.
Mattholomule, maybe?
Fat chance of that, though. We're not friends, and maybe we could've been, but any hope of that was gone when I couldn't work up the nerve to ask him to Grom. Anyway, I saw him dancing with some girl at the party, so I guess it was for the best. (Sure, he looked miserable, but that's besides the point.)
"Hey Gus. You okay?" The voice was clearly Luz, and I felt a little disappointed, but quickly shrugged it off.
"I- I messed up bad, Luz. Willow just needed help with this pixie problem. So I thought, oh, I'll lead them away with an illusion," I rambled. "But then.."
"The pixies got angry, and they attacked Willow. I heard." I could feel Luz's sad gaze burning into me.
"I moved up two grades. What's the point of being good at this if I can't do anything good with it?" My head flopped back into my arms.
"Aww, it was an honest mistake. Besides, Willow's tough as nails. I'm sure you'll be feeling better tomorrow." I looked up and her and finally smiled. She was probably right. Everything would be better tomorrow...
