Enchanting Grom Fright - Brad Breecks

Two days later, I wake up with a horrible headache and a stomach ache ; prom is today and I'm stressed out. However, Luz helped me a lot. When I told her I was anxious and didn't know what to do, she helped me come up with ideas, prepared flashcards to memorize my speech and she even chose my outfit. But I think Mom is starting to suspect that Luz doesn't just come home to help me with my homework, and that she doesn't like her very much. She must be too "eccentric" for her - which I find adorable - I mean weird !!!

I eventually got chosen as prom queen, and even though I'm kind of relieved because Mom won't get upset, it puts even more pressure on me.

The day seems to go by in a flash, and despite Ed and Em's attempts to make me smile, I'm still just as anxious when evening comes. My brother and sister accompany me to Hexside, they're also going to prom anyway. On the way, we meet the person I least wanted to see right now; Boscha.

When she sees me, she freezes. She's made an effort with her outfit, and has draw a thurd eye on her forehead ; I have to admit that she's rather pretty. She seems hesitant to come see me, then finally comes forward and asks me :

"Amity, can I talk to you for a few seconds ?"

That doesn't bode well. I'm about to refuse, but Ed and Em have just left, leaving me alone with Boscha.

"I'm listening" I say.

"Listen, you've changed a lot lately and uh... I'm sad that we don't see each other as much as before. And above all, I don't understand why you became friends with this Luz Noceda ! And especially with Willow."

That's one of the reasons why I left Boscha ; she criticizes my friends.

"It's none of your business, leave them alone" I reply.

"Excuse me" she says, looking down. "Actually, that's not why I wanted to talk to you. I wanted to ask you... Do you want to go to prom with me ?"

I'm taken aback. Is she really asking me out ? I sigh and answer :

"Sorry, I'm already taken."

Then start leaving. Maybe I was a little too cold.

"Wait !" she cries. "At least tell me who you're going with !"

I turn around. I don't know if I should tell her that I'm going with Luz. She might be even more horrible to her... Oh dammit, I couldn't care less about what she thinks now. She'll see it when we're on the dance floor anyway.

"I'm going with Luz" I say. "I have to go now. Bye."

I run to catch up with Edric and Emira and don't look at Boscha's expression. She must be furious.

"What did she want ?" my sister asks when I arrive.

"Ask me to prom."

"Ooooooh" they exclaim. "Did you accept ?" 

"No, I'm already going with Luz..."

"Ah, yes, Luz, your new crush" Edric comments.

"Shut up" I answer, blushing.

Luckily, they don't have time to say anything else because Luz is just arriving. As soon as I see her, I'm breathless... she's gorgeous. She's wearing an adorable pink lace skirt, a suit jacket and has slicked her hair back.

"Hi Amity" she says, smiling.

"H-Hi !"

"This outfit really suits you ! You're very pretty" she adds.
