Chapter Text
Everyone at Hexide knew that Amity Blight and Luz Noceda had huge crushes on each other.
For most, they liked them being together.
But Boscha did not want that, oh no she didn't. Amity had been her friend for years, Boscha had been chasing her since she could remember! And this human just shows up and she thinks that she can get what should be hers?! Boscha won’t stand for it.
She has tried everything. Mocking the human, showing how weak she is, but for some reason that only seems to make Amity dislike her more, and drives her closer to Luz.
Boscha is running out of options. Desperate times call for desperate measures, that's what her mother says. So she decided to take a risk. When she goes to school today, she’ll have something that will make things right again.
A love potion.
They say love potions are not like you think, they’re rumored to make the person you influence suffer. But Boscha knows Amity will feel nothing but happiness being with her. She didn’t care about the consequences, because she knew there wouldn’t be any. She had to get her girl back.
Walking up the steps of Hexside Boscha felt the bottle in her bag, she needed to find Amity.
------
Luz and Amity we’re standing in the halls before morning classes started.
"And that's how Eda and I escaped a giant worm monster over the weekend." Luz told her proudly grinning.
"Hahaha, you two get into some crazy adventures." Amity chuckled.
"Yeah.." Luz felt her cheeks warm.
They were both trying to hide their blush from the other.
"So, I have to get to class...." Luz continued.
"Yeah, me too."
"But y’know, we could hang out later."
"Yeah, I’d like that." She smiled
"Great, see you later Amity!"
"Bye Luz!" Amity watched Luz run to class.
She sighed and spoke softly "I wish I could tell you how much I-"
"Ehem."
Amity turned around and saw-
"Boscha." she said the name flatly.
"Hello Amity."
"What do you want?"
"You know, I’ve been feeling bad, I think I’ve really messed things up lately." Bosha looked to the ground.
Of course she had.
Amity reflected on her former friend’s recent choices. Boscha was kicked off the Grudgby team when her gang refused to continue being bullies. She disagreed with their turned leafs, and they voted to kick her out. Now not only is Skara the captain, but without Boscha, Willow decided to join the team. Losing the one thing she was really good at and cared about must have made her wake up.
"A bit late for that, don't you think?" Amity had a hard time feeling sorry for her.
"I know, but hey, better late than never right?" Boscha gave a weak smile.
There was a pause.
"So you want to make amends?" Amity wasn’t sure if she could trust the three eyed girl.
"I do. I’m sorry."
"That means apologizing to Luz and Willow, not me."
All things considered Boscha hadn’t been too hostile towards Amity, her attitude was usually just for Luz and her friends.
"I'll say sorry to them as well." Boscha looked at Amity.
"And you will never bother them again?"
"No, I won’t bother them again." she almost seemed genuine.
Amity hesitated. She knew Luz would give her a chance, maybe Amity should give Boscha one too. For all she knows maybe her family forced her to be a jerk.
"Fine.” Amity gave in, “But one mistake and you're done."
“I promise, I won't mess things up anymore." Boscha looked her in the eye.
Amity still wasn’t sure if she could trust her friend, but she knew she was going to be late if she didn’t go.
"Good. Now I must get to class."
"Yeah."
Amity walked away, but then Boscha called out "Wait! Amity!"
She turned back to face the three eyed girl. "What?"
"You dropped your water bottle." She was holding the bottle towards Amity.
"Oh." She reached out, taking it from Boscha "Thanks."
Amity rushed to class, she really couldn’t be late. She practically sprinted the entire way there. Once settled at her desk she opened the water bottle and desperately took a few big gulps.
She had 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 an innocent victim?" Edric smirked.
"Yeah, maybe tease Mittens about her crush on- Luz!"
"Ohhh yeah! That’s always so fun! We can-"
"No, Ed look!" Emira interrupted him pointing.
He turned around and saw their human friend running out of Hexside crying.
"What is wrong with her?" He turned back to his sister
Emira was puzzled, "I don't know, maybe we should ask Mittens?"
"Don't."
They turned around and saw Willow.
"Why?" They said in unison.
"Amity is the cause of this, she did this."
The twins looked equally confused as they again said "What?" together.
"Just look." Willow said, she was practically fuming as she pointed down the hall.
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 at the siblings.
Edric and Emira glanced at each other, there was something fishy going on here. Until now, their sister had been madly in love with the human.....
"Ed, cancel all plans today. We need to make sure Luz is ok."
"I couldn’t agree more sis.”
They both looked back to Willow and nodded. She seemed to accept that they wanted to help.
---------
When Luz came home crying. Eda saw red.
Her student, her kid, got heartbroken by a girl that seemingly loved her. But it turns out that she was just playing with her.
Both King and Hooty are yelling profanities and revenge plots, to be honest Eda had no objection. That Blight will burn for what she did. But for now, she has to leave the revenge planning to the demons. She has a kid that desperately needs some comfort.
"I am so sorry Luz." Eda was rubbing her hand on the girl’s back.
"What did I do wrong Eda?” a heavy sniff followed, “I was so nice to her, I thought that we.....Grom, the dance....just- Why?! What did I mess up?" more tears flowed down her face.
"No no. Listen to me kid, you did NOTHING wrong.” Eda insisted, “That girl played you, she played everyone with her act on turning a new leaf. And you know what, it’s good that you didn't get together, because she doesn't deserve you!” Eda gave her shoulder a squeeze “There is someone out there for you Luz, just be patient and you will find them."
It wasn’t exactly the talk Luz wanted, she didn’t care about whoever in the future, she was feeling terrible now.
Luz hugged her mentor. Eda held the girl, feeling the sobs beneath her arms.
"Hoot hoot, Luz's friends are here." Hooty said.
Good, maybe seeing actual friends will help her.
"Let them in Hooty." Eda said.
Willow, Gus, and the twins entered the room.
"Luz!" Willow ran towards her friend.
Luz let go of Eda and turned just in time to catch Willow in a hug.
"I am so sorry Luz, I should have known Amity hadn't changed like she said she did. I should have protected you, I am done giving her chances!" You could tell Willow was trying to hold back tears, it was just unclear if they were angry tears or sad tears.
"Willow it’s ok, she’s your best friend."
"No. YOU are my best friend, and best friends stick together." She hugged Luz tighter.
"Yeah, we are a trio!" Gus yelled and joined the hug. The three friends stayed like that a moment.
"Luz, we are really out of words." Edric sounded sorry.
"We have no idea what got into Amity, but if we had known we would have told you." Emira insisted.
She called Amity by her name, not Mittens, which means she is pissed.
"Thanks guys, I guess it was too good to be true.” Luz sighed wiping her cheek, “I mean who would want to be with a weirdo like me?"
"No no no, don't you dare to say that." Emira said and she pulled Luz into a hug, "You are wonderful and honestly, this is Amity's mistake. She had a great thing with you and let it go for Boscha.” the sister twin spat out the name, “Having you as a girlfriend would be something that anyone should be honored by, really Luz."
"We are going to help you get through this. Emira is right, there is someone much better for you, who won’t play you like that." Edric said.
"Like you always say kid, we’ll do this together!" Eda put a hand on her shoulder.
Surrounded by her friends, Luz felt a little stronger "Right, together. Thanks everyone."
