The Broken Child (Lumity)

Chapter 3

Amity's POV:

I was sitting in my dorm room, studying. Like always

My room was dark, as the curtains were closed, and my back hurt from leaning over my books so much. I wasn't planning on having breakfast, but I smelled something heavenly and decided to check it out

I walked out my room to see Luz, my apparent new roommate making a circular golden-brown fluffy thing

"Whatcha making there, Noceda?" I asked her

"It's a human food called pancakes. I decided to have some for breakfast today" she explained

"Mind... making some for me?"

"Sure, why not? Go sit in the lounge, I'll tell you when they're done" she pointed to the couch in the lounge

As I did so, I realized that I thought wrong of Luz. I thought she was a stuck-up brat who thought the world revolves around her

But no

I sensed that deep down, she was a kind, sweet, silly, and helpful person, afraid to show that side in front of others. Her eyes said it all. The way she stood up for Willow, the way she didn't yell at me for asking for pancakes, all of that. Her rudeness was all an act. A simple cover up for her real emotions

"Ami- Blight! Come get your food" She called, as I got up and sat on the chair by the kitchen counter

I looked at the stack of golden-brown fluffy circles. Luz handed me a fork and something called syrup. I poured some syrup on the pancakes and took a bite

"Oh my Titan, that is the best thing I've ever had" I said, swallowing the bite. I stuffed more in my mouth and as I did, I heard Luz lightly chuckled. Her laugh was cute, I must say. Totally platonic though

I didn't stop eating until there wasn't anything on my plate. I looked up from my food to see Luz just staring at me with an empty plate

"How long ago did you finish?!" I asked in amazement

"Like 10 minutes ago. You took 20" she said, checking her non-exsistant watch

"Wow, okay then. In that case, I think I should go back to studying. See you later"

"Bye, Blight" she said. Although she looked like she wanted to say something else

Luz's POV:

That was my chance. I could've asked my question, but I decided to wait. I've only known her for two days

Instead, I got up and went over to Willow's dorm. She was having Gus over today, so she decided to invite me as well

Willow's dorm wasn't too far from mine. In fact, it was a few forms down

I knocked on the door, and Boscha answered soon after

"Oh, hey vice captain. What're you doing in Willow's dorm?" I asked

"It's my dorm too, human. Now what do you want?" She asked, rubbing her eyes. She looked like she didn't get much sleep last night

"Well then, Willow invited me over. Along with-"

"Augustus Porter!" Gus said, grabbing my shoulders and jumping up "A.K.A, Gus"

"Whatever. Come inside, thing one and thing two" Boscha said, standing aside to let us in

We stepped inside to see Willow lying upside down on the couch, one leg over the back and one arm draped over the armrest. She looked asleep yet somehow comfortable
