Red String - Lumity

Chapter 8: Platonic Date, Right?

"Hey Luz whaddya doing later?" Hunter asked, Luz making a drink. "well, I'm meeting a friend of mime in half an hour. Remember, Amity?" He looked, recalling someone named, Amity. "Oh you mean the Blight chick? What if Bri comes in again and sees you with her?" He asked. "One, I don't care about Bri because she's always so, how do I say this...annoying, rude and all the other stuff Amity isn't and two, I wanna break up with her soon," she answered. "Okay but it's not like Amity would wanna hook up with you," he commented. "I know but I just like her as a friend so, I don't find her any interest."

"Other than her honey coloured eyes, pale-soft skin, her cute laugh, her soft looking lips."

"Yeah, definitely no interest." He said sarcastically, rolling his eyes at Luz. "What? It's platonic love. Anyway back to work." Rolling his eyes the second time but this time with a smug look on his face, "oh Luz, platonic my ass. Friends don't describe each other like that," he mumbled only loud enough for himself to hear.

Amity woke up to her alarm blaring, making her jump out of bed. "God can you be any louder?" She looked at her phone, already 3 o'clock. She went to her bathroom to freshen up a bit so she doesn't look like a corpse. She went to her closet and looked for something to wear. Taking out a grey sweatpants, a plain white t-shirt in her baby blue hoodie. Putting on some white Vans then grabbing a small bag for her wallet, phone chargers, etc. She went down, grabbed her car key and drove to the date.

"Uhm, author you mean cafe right?"
"Did I put a typo?"
"I'm straight."
"Don't care."
"I'll make sure you stay single."
"Fine, geez."

She went down, grabbed her car key and drove to the cafe. Getting out of her car, locking it, she entered the cafe. Luz was just sitting down, chatting with some customers. Amity walked up to Hunter who was at the counter. "Hey Hunter." He looked up, "Luz your girlfriends here," she called. Luz immediately tensed up. She looked behind and saw Amity. Letting out a sigh of relief, she excused herself from the customers and walked to Amity. "Hunter, don't scare the shit out of me like that. I thought Bri was here."

"Anyways, how you doing Blight?"

"Good, how are you?"

"I'm fine as long as you're here. So you want anything before we sit?"

"I'm good." They sat down at a table. "So how was school?" Luz started. "It was good, I guess not everyone understands Biology," Amity continued. "Are you kidding? Biology is so difficult to understand. I'm gonna fail this semester if I don't pass Biology," she groaned. "Well that sucks." Luz let out a sigh. "So what did you wanted to tell me that was so important you can't say over text?" Amity questioned. "Oh right. I just wanna say, you're the cutest, hottest, and like the smartest girl I know. So will you go out with me?" Luz confessed.

"I'm just kidding."

"It's actually, Bri. I'm trying to find a way to break up with her but she's always on her phone which is annoying." Amity's face was all red, that if you compare her with a tomato, she would be redder than it. Cooling down, her face was now back to it's usual pale colour. "Well, why did you even date her?" She asked. "I- well she's really pretty and she still is. When I knew she had a crush on me, we decided to go with each other to the dance last semester that's we started dating. But soon after, she started yelling, ignoring me and I don't know, feels like she was just using me since then."

"Well I suggest you to be vocal about this. Doing it through text is the worse way to do it. Unless you want to like I don't know, do it like 'I don't really wanna see you anymore but we can still be friends but it'll be awkward' way." Thinking about this Luz tried a few ways. Just in time Bri came in.

"Uhm, what are you doing here with my lover?" Spitting out every word like venom at Amity.

"Bri, can you not say that to her? She's a friend of mine, is it wrong to talk with other people?" Luz scolded. Gabriella's eyes still glaring at Amity. She pulled both of them out of the store and into the carpark. "Why'd you drag me for!" Amity exclaimed. "Stay away from Luz you snake. You're such a whore, chasing someone else after your recent break up with your boyfriend." Shock, all that she said shocked both Luz and Amity but it triggered Luz more. "Bri! How could you even call someone like Amity a whore? You don't even know anything about her!"
