Chapter Text
Everyone at Hexide knew about Amity and Luz crushing in each other.
For most, they liked them being together.
But Boscha didn't want that. Oh no she didn't.
Amity had been her friend for years, Boscha has chased her for years ! and then this human shows up and she thinks that she can just get what should be hers !
Boscha is not standing for that.
She has tried everything. Mocking the human, showing how weak she is, but for some reason that only gets Amity to hate her more, and love Luz more.
Boscha is running out options.
But desperate times call for desperate options, that's what her mother says.
So she is taking a risk.
When she came to school that day, she has something that will make things alright again.
A love potion.
They say love options are not like you think, that they will make the person you love suffer. But with Boscha, Amity will feel nothing but happiness.
"And that's how Eda and I escaped that giant worm monster on sunday." Luz told her proudly.
"Hahaha, you two do get in some crazy adventures." Amity told her.
"Yeah."
They were both blushing at each other.
"So, I have to get to class....."
"Yeah...me too."
"But you know, we could hang out later."
"Yeah we can."
"Great, see you Amity !"
"See you Luz !"
Amity watched Luz run.
"God I wish I could tell you how much I love you."
"Ehem."
Amity turned around and saw....
"Boscha."
"Hello Amity."
"What do you want ?"
"You know, I have been feeling bad lately, I have really messed things up lately."
Of course she has. Boscha was kicked out of the Grudgby team when her gang refused to continue being bullies. She got in a disagreement, and they all voted to kick her out. Now not only is Skara the captain, without Boscha Willow decided to give it a try. Loosing the one thing she is really good at must have make her wake up.
"A bit late for that, don't you think ?"
"I know, but hey, better late than never right ?"
Well, she's right on that.
"So you want to make amends ?"
"I do."
"That means with Luz and Willow, not me."
"I'll say sorry to those two."
"And you will never bother them again ?"
"Not in my life time."
Well....if they gave her a chance, maybe Amity should give Boscha one. For all she knows maybe she was forced to be a jerk like her.
"Fine, but one mistake and you're done."
I promise I won't mess up."
"Good. Now I most get to class."
"Yeah."
Amity walked away, but then she called her again.
"Hey Amity !"
"What ?"
"You dropped your thermos."
"Oh."
She gave her her thermos.
"Thanks."
Amity went to class, drinking some water.
She has no idea what she just drank.
"So what should we do today dear sister ?" Edric asked.
"I don't know dear brother ?" Emira answered.
"Should we find some innocent victim ?" Edric said.
"Yeah, maybe tease Mittens about her crush on.......Luz !"
"Yeah, that could be, we can..."
"No, Edric look !"
He turned around and saw their human friend running and crying to her mentor.
"What the hell is wrong with her ?"
"I don't know, maybe we should as Mittens ?"
"Don't."
They turned around and saw Willow.
"What ?"
"Amity is the cause of this, she did this."
"What ?"
"Just look." Willow said, and boy have they never seen her so mad.
Edric and Emira turned and......
"WHAT THE HELL !" Emira yelled.
Amity was kissing Boscha in the middle of the hallway !
"WHAT !"
"She played with Luz's feelings ! she never changed !" Willow yelled.
To Edric and Emira, there is something fishy going on here. Until now, their sister was madly in love with Luz, but now.....
"Ed, cancel the plans today. We need to make sure our friend is ok."
"I got you sis."
When Luz came home crying. Eda saw red.
Her student, her kid got heartbroken by the girl that clearly loved her, but it turns out that she was just playing with her.
Both King and Hooty are yelling revenge plots, and to be honest she has no objection. That Blight will burn for what she did.
But for now, she has to leave the revenge to the demons. She has a kid that desperately needs some comfort.
"I am so sorry Luz."
"What did I do wrong Eda ? I was so nice to her, I thought that we.....the dance....just why ! What did I mess up ?"
"No no. Listen to me kid, you did NOTHING wrong. That girl played you, she played everyone in her act on turning into a new leaf, and you know what. Is good that you two actually didn't get together, because you would have been with a person that didn't deserve you. There is someone out there for you Luz, just be patient and you will find him or her."
Luz hugged her tighter.
"Hoot, hoot, Luz's friends are here, and not the bitch." Hooty said.
Good, maybe seeing actual friends will help her.
"Let them in Hooty." Eda told him.
Willow, Gus, and the twins entered the room.
"Luz !" Willow yelled.
Luz got off Eda and hugged Willow.
"I am so sorry Luz, I should have known Amity hadn't changed like she said she did. I should have tried protecting you, I am dine giving her chances."
"Willow is ok, she is your best friend."
"No. YOU are my best friend, and best friends stick together."
"Yeah, we are a trio !" Gus yelled while he joined the hug.
"Luz, we are really out of words." Edric said.
"We really have no idea what got into Amity, but if we knew we would have told you." Emira said. She called Amity by her name, not Mittens, it means she is pissed.
"Thanks guys, I guess is what to good to be true. I mean who would like to be with a weirdo like me ?"
"No no no, don't you dare to say that." Emira said whole she hugged Luz. "You are a cutie and honestly, this is Amity's mistake. She had a great thing with you and letted it go for Boscha. Having you as a girlfriend will be something that anyone should be honored by."
"We are going to help you get threw this Luz. Emira is right, there is someone much better waiting for you."
"Like you always say kid, we will do this together." Eda told her.
"Right, together. Thanks everyone."
If Amity and Boscha thought the school would support them, they were dead wrong.
Most found their actions disgusting, specially with how Amity apparently played with her feelings. Honestly she is still surprised with the support that she got.
When she woke up, Skara called her. Telling her that she saw the news and that she was horrified by how she was played. She told her that they have banned Amity and Boscha from the Grudgby games and that she is still welcomed to come, and that if she needs a friend, she can count on her.
The problem was, she was going with Amity, as Willow and Gus are busy today.
But her issue was resolved when Emira called. She told her that she and Edric tried getting the truth out of Amity....but she said things that its better if she doesn't hear them."
"We are giving her the cold treatment cutie, she took it too far this time."
"It's fine Em, don¡t ignore your own sister."
"Nah, she hurt our friend, we are loyal ones."
"Hehe, thanks, I wished she hadn't ditch me for the Grudgby match though, I really wanted to go but now I have no one to go with."
"Why didn't you say that earlier, I can go with you if you want."
"Really !"
"I got nothing to do today as Ed is with friends. Besides I can get to actually meet you without Amity being around."
"You are not messing with me right ? You would actually go with me."
"You have been messed up with enough. Tell me the time you want me to go there and we can go."
It wasn't how she imagined it, but she did have a good time with Emira that day.
In school they gave her comforting looks, like everyone pitted her, but only wanted to offer their support. Principal Bump even called her and said that heart break is a harsh thing, and that if she wants to go home for some days, she can.
Part of her wants too. Eda's presence is a comfort she really needs. Her mentor understood her better than anyone. But she needs to fight this, she can't let this get in the way of being a witch.
For her sake she dropped out of Abomination, she didn't want to even see Amity. In Potions she did have to see Boscha, but the class supported her.
Lunch was going to be hard, because she was sure they were going to be there but...
"Where do you 3 think are going ?" Emira asked.
"Eh, to lunch."
"Yeah, but that place will bring you pain Cutie and I can't have that. You come with me and I'll take you to our place, and tell me what you want and I can bring it to you."
"Wow....thanks."
"Don't even mention it."
For the following weeks it was like that. She still cried when she saw Amity and Boscha together, specially when the latter gave her the victory look.
But every single time, someone would show up to offer some comfort.
She stopped crying in bed thanks to Eda, King, and Hooty's efforts. They agreed that revenge could wait until she was smiling and laughing again.
In school she also got more conformable. Someone always stood there with her, and spared her the pain from seeing Amity with Boscha.
Emira in particular was extremely helpful. At first Luz thought she was doing it to make up for her sister, but she just responded that she does it because she wants to.
And then, Luz got better and better. She is not perfect, as for now only one Blight girl could make that. But she is a lot better, and if she has to stay like this, so be it.
"I'm asking her out."
Edric looked at his sister.
"You are asking Luz out ?"
"Yep."
Emira did have a crush on Luz for some time. But she gladly stepped out so that her sister, who really wanted her could take her. Now knowing that Amity is a screw up, she can go for it.
"That's great Em. Show her that we are not like Mittens."
Edric speaks to Amity, but barely, Emira is still not mouthing a word to her.
Even their parents were not happy with the news, but not because she played Luz, but because how their family took bad rep for that stunt. Besides Luz being the Owl Lady's trainee had actually made them respect her. To the point they are fine with her asking her out.
Amity didn't care about any of that. She just said that as long as she had Boscha she is fine.
That did make Edric a bit suspicious...could it be ?
"Well, I am off in my noble quest, bye brother."
"Bye sis, good luck."
"You...you want to go out with me !" Luz asked surprised.
"Sure. I don't call you Cutie for nothing. I mean look at you, and you are so funny and interesting. I know my sister didn't leave the best impression but if you allow me, I would like to change that."
Luz was shocked.
No one had asked her out before. But seeing how nice Emira has been threw this ordeal.
She can give it a try, besides Emira is really beautiful.
"Sure, let's do it !"
"Great, so should we get going ?"
"Let's go !"
Skara walked around the hallways to go to practice, but then.....
"What is that ?"
Boscha's locker had just spitten out a strange bottle.
Skara rolled her eyes and went to pick it up to throw it away, but then.....
"Wait, what the hell is this anyway ?"
She checked the label and.
"OH GOD."
That's why Amity suddenly loved her and not Luz. Because it wasn't her own choice !
Boscha used a love potion (something extremely illegal) on Amity !
She quickly put it on her back pack and went to practice. Willow is there, and she can help her sort this thing out.
Because Boscha might have forgotten that all she did, was set Amity for a path of suffering.
