The exchange program was over and everyone returned home.
For most people this wasn't a problem, but one three-eyed person we knew had some issues with it.
Fortunately, she didn't have to deal with these problems alone.
Boscha sighed when she, Luz, and Camila arrived at her parents' house.
“We are here for you and will do our best,” said Camila, placing a hand on Boscha’s shoulder.
Boscha flinched and Camila pulled her hand away again.
“I’m sorry…,” said Boscha.
"It's okay, I know you're not used to this," Camila replied.
Boscha pulled out her key and tried to put it in the lock, but it didn't fit.
"What the...?" Boscha grumbled. "Did my mother change the lock or something?"
“Oh man, it seems to be worse than we thought!” said Luz worriedly.
Boscha knocked on the door, but nobody opened it.
"W...what do I do now?" Boscha stammered desperately. "Now I'm homeless. And alone."
"Stop! You're not alone!" Luz assured her. "We won't let you down!"
“But…you must return to the human world!” cried Boscha, and began to tremble.
“Yes, but I have an idea!” said Luz, whispering something to her mother.
“Good idea, let’s try it,” Camila replied.
“What are you whispering about?” Boscha asked skeptically.
"Let's go to Willow's first," suggested Luz.
"And then?" Boscha wondered.
"Don't ask, come with me!" Camila commanded.
“Okay, okay!”, Boscha replied, raising her arms.
Luckily, not only Willow was at home, but also her parents.
Camila and Luz described the situation to the two fathers. Both looked at Boscha with concern, which made her somewhat nervous.
The fathers spoke with Willow and she agreed that Boscha could stay in her room for the time being.
Luz and Camila wished Boscha all the best, and Camila said to her before leaving: "As soon as your mother is ready to talk, we'll be back, we promise!"
Boscha smiled and replied: "Yes...thank you both! You have already done more for me than I deserve!"
"Don't talk about yourself like that!" said Luz. "You're on the right track!"
“Don’t take this the wrong way, but…” said Boscha, and hugged the two of them. Luz and Camila were initially startled, but then of course hugged Boscha back.
After the two had left, Boscha briefly thanked the fathers and went to her room with Willow.
On her way there, Willow took a folding bed from the storage room, which she set up in her room on the side opposite her own bed.
For the next 5 minutes, they both sat silently on their respective beds, but then Boscha broke the silence: "Willow?"
“Yes, Boscha?” Willow asked.
"I, um..." Boscha sighed in despair. "Thank you for letting me live here!"
"No problem, I don't let any friends down!", Willow replied.
Boscha swallowed hard and began to tremble.
"Are you okay?" Willow asked, alarmed. "Do you need a glass of water or something?"
"No, no...thank you...I'm fine!" Boscha stammered, tears welling in her eyes. "It's just all so...so much...I have no idea how I'm supposed to process it all right now!"
"Luckily, you're not alone!" smiled Willow.
Boscha began to sob.
Willow was now very worried. She went over to Boscha and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"You're way too nice to me!" Boscha cried.
"I still get to decide that for myself, okay!?" Willow replied. "We've been friends for a few months now, haven't we!?"
“Yes, sure, but…”, said Boscha, “…still I don’t deserve this good treatment after everything I’ve done to you!”
“We already talked about this before you went on the exchange program,” Willow sighed.
“Yes, sure, but that was just the beginning,” Boscha argued. “I haven’t done anything yet to make it all right!”
"Bosha, I know you're sorry and that you regret it," Willow assured her. "And you can't undo it anyway. Let's focus on the future instead of dwelling on past misdeeds, okay?"
Boscha smiled. "Willow, you really are a very special witch!"
“Thank you!” Willow exclaimed happily, “And beneath your tough exterior you’re also a nice and cool person, even if you don’t want to admit it yet!”
Boscha turned red.
"That confirms it!", laughed Willow.
"Thank you!" Boscha said softly. "You're a really good friend!"
"You're welcome!" smiled Willow.
