Chapter Seven : Why Is She Here?

Amity POV
The next morning arrived. I woke up with my blurred vision, memories of yesterday flowing around my mind. I couldn't remember exactly what happened after I had dozed off next to Luz, but here I was, back in my room.

Stretching my arms out, I pulled my scroll out to check the time. It was exactly half past ten.
"Wow." I spoke out loud, knowing that I usually never wake up this late. School was out for at least the next few days due to an awkward pixie situation so I acknowledged that sleeping in a little would be fine.

I opened Penstagram to see if I had received any messages from Luz since yesterday she told me that Eda had found a scroll just for her. I vaguely remember getting all excited and flustered around the girl when I was first to not only get her number but also to add her on Pensta. The thought just now started to embarrass me as I hesitantly groaned into my large pillow, worried that I would catch someone's attention.

Having one eye still pressed against the pillow, I peeked over my shoulder to see if I had any new messages. To my disappointment, I had only received one, and that was from Boscha.
' Hey Amity, wanna hang out at Tibbles' Carnival today? He's kind of a jerk but I've got literally nothing to do cause Willow can't hang today. Xx '

I scoffed at her message, knowing that I didn't have anything better to do.
' Okay whatever, I'll be there at noon. '
I replied before leaving the chat section to scroll through my posts. Looking through all of them, it seemed like everyone was either already at the carnival, or they were planning on going.

A quick shake caused me to avert my gaze to the top of my scroll, Boscha had replied with a short sentence.
' Don't be too late ' I scoffed once more, not tapping on the notification as I continued scrolling. Shortly after, my scroll buzzed once more.  Assuming it was Boscha, all I did was roll my eyes before looking up once more and to my surprise, it was from none other than Luz.

' Morning Amity, was wondering if u wanted to hang today :) '
I felt my face freeze in response before feeling a huge gush of warmth rise to my face, my breathing quickly changing pattern. As I opened the message, I started typing random letters and words that weren't even real words before panic-sending a thumbs up along with a demon heart emoji.

"Gggahh!" I yelled in frustration after realising what emoji I had just sent. I quickly hovered over the delete message icon in an attempt to undo the mistake I had just caused, but just before I could tap it, Luz replied.

' Okay sounds good! See u at noon <3 '
I read over the message twice, squinting at the strange symbol she added at the end, but my questioning quickly came to an end as my door swung open.
"Mittens!"
"Gah!" I yelped as I fell, growling at my older siblings. I quickly helped myself off the floor before storming over to my closet, back faced away from them.

"Woah mittens, we didn't mean to give you such a fright." Edric started as he and Emira walked over.
"Yeah, whatcha up to anyway?" Emira's sudden contact with my shoulder made me freeze up before I was able to shakily speak up.
"N-nothing. I was just talking to someone, but of course I'd be surprised! You can't just barge in like that." I barked, earning a smirk from the twins.

"And just, who were you talking to baby sister? Was it Luuuz?" Emira teased, resting her head on her hand to show off her signature pose. Edric mimicked his twin's actions shortly after, before joining in on the tease.
"Ohh Luz. If only you knew just how much I wwuuved you!" The swooning tone in his voice caused my ears to twitch slightly before I shoved both of them back.

"Argh stop! I don't like Luz." Feeling my body slightly shaking, I shook my head before looking away once more.
"Oh we know mittens. You absolutely love her don't ya?" The twins asked simultaneously, agitating me even further.
