Amity's P.O.V

"We're back!" I hear Luz call as she enters the Owl house. I look up from my scroll to see Willow following close behind her, a sour expression on her face. "You were right."

"I always am." I reply as the two girls sit down on the couch beside me, Luz closest to me. "You need to stop worrying about him so much."

"Well, it's hard not to." Willow sighs. "He's never been good at reaching out." She continues, digging in her pocket and pulling out ten snails. "Here's your snails, by the way."

I take the snails out of Willows hand and place them into my own pocket. "I told you he would be there. " I shrugged. "They seem like they're friends?"

"I mean, yea, they do." Luz replied. "They were fighting when we came in. Apparently Matt has an addiction to lollipops?"

"Oh, yeah. he does." I mutter. I always remember seeing him with one in his mouth either before a game or practice, or after a game or practice. A lot of the time both. "Anyway, continue. I want to hear more."

"There's not much more to talk about." Willow interrupted.

"Oh, there's a lot to talk about Willow. You were just too busy fighting with Matt to realize any of it happening." Luz added. "For starters, did you notice that Matt was wearing that hoodie that Gus just bought the other week while we were out with him? The blue one?"

"Wait.. He was?" I asked, holding in a laugh. Matt certainly had enough hoodies, it humors me that he's wearing one if Gus's, that are for sure a size or two too large. I want to see that now.

"Yeah!" Luz laughs, a wide smile covering her face. "Also, Gus and Perry are staying at Matt's house until the renovations are done at their house."

"I still don't understand why he didnt tell us that they were." Willow added. "Gus usually tells us everything."

"Matt probably didnt want anyone to know." I shrugged. "He doesn't like anyone knowing anything about him really."

"Great, so he's a liar? Add that to the list of reasons why Gus shouldn't be hanging out with him." Willow scoffed.

"Hes really not that bad, I actually kind of like his personality. Atleast what Ive seen of it.." Luz added. "Gus seems to trust him, did you see the way Gus defended him? And the way Matt defended Gus when we asked about where he was?"

"I mean..." Willow sighed, "I guess so."

"But I mean, there was defiantly something up with those explanations on why Gus wasn't here. He just fell asleep? It was five thirty in the afternoon, and Gus is usually up late anyway."

"Oh yeah.." Willow said, looking off to the side. visibly deep in thought.

"Also, did you see their nails? I'm pretty sure they were matching." Luz giggled.

I gasp. "Really?" I ask, going along with it, it's fun seeing Luz enthusiastic about something. "What colors?"

"Gus had white nails, Matt had black. So like, opposites, I guess?" Luz replied. "Oh! I almost forgot. You know that red sweater Matt always wears around town?"

"Uh, Yeah?" I reply.

"Gus was wearing that, too."

"Oh?"

"Yeah."

"Is that everything you extracted from that short interaction.. or?" I asked. "Is that everything?"
