| Amity POV |
"Damnit.." I enter the gymnasium, it's empty and cold, lights dim and flickering. It was always an issue at Hexside. They never truly turned off. "What's wrong Ams?" Boscha holds my shoulder. "I'm late for the basketball tryouts, my family wants to me watch and be assistant coach, but now I cant.." I sigh. Walking up the steps to sit down. FLASH! Step, step, step, step.
The lights flicker on, Alador Blight steps forward, a group of students walking in. They all look somewhat the same, tall, skinny and a game-face. I just gasp and realise.. they were late, not me.. "ALRIGHT! Girls, we need 1 player for the team, so work your best, run hard and impress me. This team only allows the best, so if you don't qualify, leave now." He says sternly. Three girls leave, looking straight down. This reveals a tall, brown haired girl,
wait. THATS LUCI- "Amelia, get off your ass and come down here." My father calls for me, I slowly step down and turn to look at Boscha, giving me a thumbs up, I slowly give her one back before standing next to my dad. He gets them all to sprint across the court. I see Noceda lacking, but as soon and they go back, she speeds past them, and marks the floor with dirt as she slides to the finish.
A few minutes later of running, Lucia takes off her pretty tight jumper into a sweatshirt, it's very tight, but still a bit baggy, it's tight enough for me to see that she has very soft abs, they aren't those harsh abs with are clear to the naked eye, but their soft and aren't that visible through clothes. Still impressive I must not lie.
After a few hours of shooting and defensive/offensive plays, Lucia dunks on this smaller kid, around my height but a bit taller. She flips off the kid with her tongue out and hops into the line. ' This is impressive, and since when did Lucia play sports?! Basketball as well?! ' I think to myself. Turning red at the thought of sweat- NO! Amelia intrusive thoughts, we talked about this. She is a friend. That is a girl. A girl, fr- ... wait. Before I think any further a ball hits the back of my head, I turn around, about to destroy someone.
Lucia stands there, hands in the air defensively. "Sorry Minty! Sometimes the ball gets slippery.. heh." She smiles, rubbing the back of her neck. ' God I can't stay mad at that smile. ' Holding back a smile, I say with my sassy voice — "Alright, whatever. Don't do it again, Noceda. " I point as she walks off, nodding. My father stares her down, writing something down on his notepad, I get a vivid image of it,
NOCEDA Lucia: ❌
Oh no.. did I ruin her chances of making it in?! No, no, no, it's just a segment, right?
It wasn't just a segment.
I walk over to Lucia and hug her. "I'm so sorry you didn't make it in.. she embraces my touch and hugs me back, her warm skin against mine sends a shiver against my spine, she looks at me, I look at her. She smiles softly "It's fine, Minty. I wasn't going to commit to it anyways." She walks off, bag on her shoulders. "We can catch up before sleep catches up to me first."
God do I feel so bad, can this day get ANY WORSE?!
And of course it did.

I open my dorm to find a second pair of shoes, I am confused and look to see the unused dorm room decorated with stickers and fake vines. It's normally plain, and since I never got a dorm mate I was going to turn it into a big dress room. Guess that ideas gone, I open my door, Boscha lays there, wasted. "Who the fuck is in my dorm?" I ask. "Your dorm mate, dunno who just heard Bumpy talking with his dumbass monotone stereo voice box." Boscha was staying over the night, so she didn't care if her bed got messy from her
I hold back a laugh before leaving and knocking on the second door. "I heard you, it's Noceda. I'm sleeping, bye bye." I take a moment to process the mumbled words that just passed my ears. "Noh- ce- Noceda.. FUCKING NOCEDA?!"
I burst through the door to see Lucia laying with covers over her, a menacing stare glaring back at me through the peep of her blankets. And I thought I was scary.. "Fuck off." She says, her voice more deep and scrappy then her normal jerky cheerful voice. And with that I leave, shutting the door behind me. "What the fuck.. mental note to never mess with a sleepy Noceda.." I murmur to myself.
I go into my walk-in wardrobe and get out of my tight, itchy clothes into someone more comfy, a baggy jumper with shorts and long Otabin socks. It's my favourite book, who doesn't have fancy merchandise of their favourite characters?! I plop into bed and think, should I apologise for barging in? Agh I feel horrible. I just sigh and fall asleep within seconds. I'll talk to her in the morning.

I slowly yawn as I close my blinds and get up, Boscha must've left early, how sweet. I wobble to get a hair tie and put my hair into a messy bun. It's a Saturday so I don't need to get up early and attend art. I heard there's a project, the theme is ' Transformation' and I never really had the.. Imagination — though it was art, you could spill coffee on it and get an A, wait. That gives me an idea.. I run and grab a canvas, running out to the kitchen.
I grab a coffee and spill it in certain ways, using a paintbrush to smudge it around. Before I finish, Lucia walks through the door, stretching her arms up, Amelia is too focused to notice the giant stalking behind her. Until a warm hand reaches her. "GAH-!" I scream to see Lucia, head tilted like a puppy, I can't help but go red, it's adorable, okay?! "Am I that scary?" She asks, yawning between it. "When you look like a serial killer, yeah?!" I gulp, pushing her back playfully. "What the fuck are you doing today, Blight?" She asks, pointing to the canvas leaning against salt & pepper shakers. "For your information, it's my Art Project! Isn't it wonderful!" I wave my hands up to present it, the girl just gives me a 'wtf' look. "Yeah.. sure, we can say that.." she says, leaving me jaw dropped, I personally thought it was amazing! "I'm going to buy groceries! Come with? Hazard, it's a motorbike." I squealed, I LOVE motorbikes. I just put on a jacket to hide the fact I'm in PJ's, Luz just walks out in her sweatshirt and sweatpants. Casual.
She tosses me a helmet and I zip it on. Adjusting the microphone to the best volume. "Hold on tight, Blight. I go fast." I cheer, before I can speak she zooms off, I latch onto her waist and close my eyes, "You can open them, Blight." I slowly open my eyes to see the sunrise, I feel the cold breeze against my hands.. hands.. where are my.. AH! I realise my hands are on Lucia's waist, yet I can't let go or I'll fly off, I just sigh and hide my red face with the visor.
There we were, awake at 6:30AM driving through the sunset, just two, straight girls, close, together, on a sunset. Totally not awkward.
