AMITY POV:

I hear a knock on my room door. "Yes," I say, letting them now they can come in, whoever it is.

"Hey Amity," Luz says, while opening the door slowly. she sounds nervous, for some reason. I've never heard her voice that nervous while talking to me— actually, I've never seen or heard her be nervous at all with me.

"Uh, hi. What's wrong," I ask, concerned, because like I said, she's never sounded anywhere near nervous while with me.

"I just want to talk to you about something." She then points at my bed, which I assume means she's asking to sit on it, so I nod my head.

Luz sits down. "What did you want to talk to me about," I question, avoiding eye contact. I can't make eye contact for the life of me.

"Okay," Luz begins, "don't take this the wrong way." I tilt my head and look at her, obviously confused by what she means.

"I feel like we have been drifting apart, and I just want to figure out why. I feel like it all started when me and Cleo became friends, but I don't want to assume things and then get into a big fight with you because of that and then we never talk again or something. I just want to fix things with you. You're the only person I really don't wanna lose, and the only person I can tell anything and everything. I don't know if it's the same for you, but that's just how I feel. I'm sorry."

Oh.

Wow.

It takes me a moment to take in what Luz just ranted about. She was speaking really fast.

So, basically, in shorter words, Luz thinks we have been drifting apart and it has something to do with Cleo.

Wow, Luz realized it. Yes, Luz, it definitely has something to do with Cleo. However, I'm not gonna say that out loud.

"Um, I feel like we've been drifting apart, too." Suddenly, I have the urge to say it's because of Cleo.

So I do.

"I also feel like it started when you and Cleo became friends, I just felt like you were getting closer to her and forgetting about me, I guess."

Luz's mouth makes an 'o' shape.

Now I regret what I just said. "Sorry," I mumble out, not really expecting Luz to here me.

But she does.

Of course she does.

She turns her body to face me. She lifts my chin with her index finger, since I was looking at the ground, kinda forcing me to make eye contact with her.

"Amity, it's okay, don't be sorry. Your feelings are valid, don't ever feel like they aren't. I'll try to consider them and talk to you more."

I can feel my cheeks beginning to burn up. Why do I get like this when someone tells me stuff like this, it's the bare minimum.

Actually, this only happens with Luz... So never mind.

I just nod my head at Luz, still making eye contact with her. I don't know how I haven't passed out yet or something, because if I told my past self this was happening, I'd get weak in the knees.

Luz finally breaks the eye contact after what feels like eternity, and hugs me. It takes me a moment to do something, but I hug her back. I haven't felt like this in a while.

I hope this feeling doesn't go away.

Ever.

AMITY POV:

The feeling went away.

Luz and Cleo are still hanging out and talking, and I have to sit with them at Cleo's lunch table because Luz offered, and I can't turn down an offer from Luz.

Cleo is a bitch and I don't know how Luz doesn't realize. Cleo is constantly glancing at me like I'm gonna kill Luz.

I wish I was sitting with Luna, Willow, and Gus right now. I have no idea what Cleo is talking about right now, but it seems like no one is listening.

Except for Luz, of course. She's too nice to be ignoring Cleo. Luz could not care at all about what you're saying, but she'd still listen.

Unless you're a bitch and she doesn't like you. However, Luz doesn't know that about Cleo yet. So obviously Luz is gonna listen.

I wish I could just tell Luz and she'd believe me, like it'd be that easy. I doubt it'll ever be that easy though, to just say something to someone and have them believe you.

Luna would know something about Cleo. Maybe. I mean, she's her dorm mate, I don't really know if they talk a lot though.

I'll ask her tomorrow. I have to study tonight for an upcoming quiz in one of my classes.

I hope they Cleo and Luna talk, because how am I gonna go up to Luna and say "hey do you have any proof that Cleo is a bitch?" I can't do that.

Now I'm gonna have to plan it out in my head for the rest of the day and half of tomorrow.

LUZ POV:

I notice Amity zoning out. She's leaned down in her chair fidgeting with her hands. She's so pretty, she's pretty doing anything honestly.

Platonically, of course. I don't like Amity. I think. I've had this thought a couple of times, but like, Amity doesn't have feelings for me and I don't have any for her. I think.

Whatever. I need to change the topic in my head. So I turn back towards Cleo, who is still talking about God knows what.
