Luz lent me volume 5 of our favorite book, The Good Witch Azura. I couldn't find it anywhere, I don't know how she got it... Anyway I read it in one go, and I have to find her to give it back.

 It's already July now, I talked to Luz a bit and I even did some group work with Willow that went very well. Let's just say there's progress. 

I'm rereading Luz's book for the third time when my mother enters my room. 

"Still reading?" she says contemptuously. "You're not going to get good grades with these kinds of ridiculous stories, Amity. Come on, put that thing down and get to work, right now ! There's no way you're getting less than the maximum grade on your English homework again !"

"Yes, mother."

I put the book back in my bag and take out my notebooks. I know my course perfectly, but I still do the same exercises again and again just to be sure. As I work at my desk, I hear Em's voice in the hallway. 

"Mom, you should still give Amity breaks from time to time... She's exhausted, she needs to rest."

"Yes" Ed adds. "If she's too tired, she'll get worse grades, you'll be even more disappointed..."

"You don't have to give me advice on Amity's education" my mother replies in a cold voice. "She'll succeed where you failed. And don't you dare make any comments again. I forbid you to visit her, by the way.

"Yes, mother" my brother and sister answer. 

I smile through the tears that blur my sight. They're really great, even if we've had a few hitches sometimes...

 I jump when I hear someone knock on my door. I wipe my tears away, and say : 

"Come in." 

I expected to see my mother, but it's Edric and Emira. 

"Ed, Em, what are you doing here ? Mom told you to-"

"We're here to keep you company" Ed interrupts, ruffling my hair. "It's not fun working all day long."

"But if she sees you..."

"We'll take all the responsibility !"

"Thanks" I say, smiling. "But why... are you visiting me ?"

"To see how you are" Em says. "Mom hardly lets us talk to you, we want to see our little sister !"

Emira leans towards me, her face level with mine. 

"Besides" she adds, grabbing my cheeks, "you've been crying again, Mittens, am I wrong ?"

I step back to free myself, without answering. 

"Oh dear, teenage years are tough, aren't they ?" Ed smiles. 

"Oh, shut up" I reply. 

"Especially with a mother like ours" Em sighs. "I understand you Mittens, don't pay attention to that idiot." 

"Hey ! I have better grades than you in English !

"Nonsense" Emira teases him. "Plus, you're bad at science."

"Phew." 

I smile, then get up and push them towards the door. 

"It's nice of you to come visit me, but I'm fine. Just go away, I don't want you to get scolded because of me."
