A few hours later, Luz entered the cafeteria, seeing Willow and Gus at a table. "Hey, guys!" Luz called out as she walked to the table, getting their attention.
"Luz!" They said, surprised and smiling at her.
"We didn't know you would be here." Willow said.
"I just got in for the new semester." Luz said with a smile, still having her hood up.
"Well, welcome to Hexside."
"Here here!" Gus said, holding up a juice box.
"Hehehehe, here here." Luz said as she sat down and began eating her lunch, nearly all meat with a small salad and water.
"Man, you are a carnivore." Gus said.
"And proud of it. Meat is one of the five major food groups and I make sure to get a large helping of it whenever I can." Luz said.
Luz decided to change the subject.
"So, Willow... I know I might be pushing but... what's the deal with you and Amity?"
Willow froze.
"We... we used to be good friends, then she broke that friendship away because her parents forced her too. I found out, but... it took a couple years of her bullying me." Willow said, "I... I don't know if we will ever be friends again."
"But…..have either of you tried?" Luz asked.
"Mainly Amity but it's…just too much to overcome." Willow said as Gus patted her back.
"Well, I'm going to do something about it." Luz said, getting up.
She looked around the lunchroom before spotting Amity just getting her lunch and looking for a seat.
"Be right back." Luz said as she quickly walked to Amity. "Amity, hey!"
"Oh, hey Luz." Amity said, "What can I do for you?"
"I just wanted to know if you could join me for lunch? I'd like to know how your day has been." Luz said with a smile.
"Oh... uh... sure."
Luz guided Amity to her table, ignoring Gus's gestures to NOT DO THIS!
'She's a maniac!' He thought!
Luz walked over and sat Amity down next to Willow, which made both girls look in the opposite direction. Willow wasn't go to fight this though, because Luz was wanting to help her with something, Gus didn't stop it because when he tried to say something, Luz gave him a look that made him shiver. Amity didn't stop it because... well she knows about Luz's Spirit Animal and knows she won't beat that.
"Now; I know this was sneaky and this might not have been good but this needs to happen. You two are friends, even after all this time, and I think what needs to be done is just talk it out. No running, no tricks, just talk it out face to face." Luz said as she looked to Willow and Amity.
The two didn't look at each other.
"I said... Face to face." Luz said with a deep growl, scaring both of them.
The human quickly turned to face each other, seeing the other girl's scared expression slowly turn into sadness as they saw the guilt in each other's eyes.
"I don't care which of you starts, but I'm going to make sure neither of you leave until this is taken care of." Luz said.
"Luz-" Gus said before Luz looked at him, glaring and making him be quiet.
She turned back to Amity and Willow, seeing them still staring at each other with guilty, sad eyes as silence was trapped between them.
"I'm sorry."
They both said it at the same time.
"You're sorry? Why?" Amity asked Willow, surprised. "I'm the one that should be sorry. I should've fought harder to be your friend instead of crumbling under what mom would do. You were never too weak to be my friend, I was too weak to be yours."
"I've should've at least given you a chance after I learned the truth." Willow said, "I should've let you explain instead of running away from you."
Amity and Willow began to cry before they hugged each other, smiling at each other as the truth felt so good to let out.
"Ugh, Amity, why are you hanging with the losers." Boscha asked, walking up to Amity.
The beautiful moment had been ruined as everyone at the table turned to see Boscha, Skara, and two other girls standing before the table with trays of their lunch.
"Hello again, Boscha." Luz said, being friendly. "If you must know, Willow and Amity were just patching up their friendship after all this time."
"Friends? with half a witch?" Boscha said, "Don't make me laugh, no one would do that. Well, maybe except for you. Come on, take off your hood, what are you hiding?"
"If I showed you... I would have to kill you." Luz said.
"Is that a threat?" Boscha asked.
"No... it's a promise." Luz said.
"You think you're so cool, don't you?" Boscha asked, "Why don't you show me what you can do."
"Are you challenging me?" Luz asked.
"After school, the Grudgby Field." Boscha said.
"Fine." Luz said.
"Boscha, please don't do this." Skara said, having doubts about this.
"She's a new student, it won't be a fair fight." One of Boscha's friends, tall and with green hair, said.
"Luz, don't stoop to her level." Willow said.
"No, she's wants to fight? I'll fight her." Luz said, "I'll see you then."
"See you then, Luz-er." Boscha said before she turned to leave.
"Sorry about that, Luz." Skara quickly apologized.
"It's fine, I'll knock some sense into her." Luz said.
"You seem confident. You must have some strong magic then." The other girl as tall as Skara with glasses, dark skin, and wavy brown hair, said.
"You could say that." Luz said with a smirk.
"Try not to hurt her too much." Skara said.
"Don't worry, your little crush will be fine." Luz said.
"Luz!"
"Honestly Skara, you aren't really subtle." Amelia said.
"Yeah, we all know about it." Cat said.
"Ugh!" Skara said with a blush before rushing off, leaving Amelia and Cat to follow after her.
Later, at the grudgby field, Boscha was waiting, no one else around. She had gotten there early to think strategy in peace and how she would decimate Luz.
'She's a beast keeping student, so she'll relay on summoning creatures to fight for her.' Boscha thought. 'I know all the beast in the area, so I shouldn't have to deal with something I can't handle.'
"So, this is where you wanted to fight?" Luz said walking onto the field, "Yeah, empty, so no one will know I kicked your ass."
"No, it's just so I have more room to whip the field with you." Boscha said as she rolled her shoulders.
"Fine, let's do this." Luz said.
Acting fast, Boscha made the first move and launched a large fire spell at Luz! Luz dodged it and ran at Boscha. She used her panther's speed to catch her off guard.
'She's fast!' Boscha thought before easing her arms, blocking a punch that sent her back! 'And strong too?!'
'She's got good reflexes.' Luz thought as Boscha rolled on the ground before getting back in her feet.
Boscha would never admit that Luz got the best of her, so she decided to taunt.
"Come on, Beast Keeper, why don't you summon something to fight me!" Boscha said.
"Because then I wouldn't get to hit your third eye personally." Luz said.
Luz charged at Boscha again, throwing more punches as the triclops dodged them this time before she used transformation magic to make her hands stone!
"Try this!" Boscha said as she threw her own punch!
Luz was hit in the side, making her collapse to the ground. Boscha smiled as she slammed the fist down, hoping to cave in Luz's skull, but she rolled out of the way.
"Not so cocky now!" Boscha said as she turned to Luz.
Luz sniffed the air, catching a smell of something. There were traps under the field. All she needed to do was trip one and distract Boscha, then she could use her Spirit Animal to finish this. She charged at Boscha, jumping over her and standing in front of a trap.
'Let's see if I can lure her in.' Luz thought.
Boscha turned around and ran at Luz, getting cut off by the fire trap. Boscha quickly stopped and used a water spell to make the fire go away, leaving steam and smoke behind. Boscha couldn't see Luz through it, but she saw Luz's Spirit Animal jumping through the smoke and tackle her. Boscha began to crawl away, but Luz's hand held her down.
"Ready to give up?" Luz asked, "If you keep acting like this, I doubt Skara would want to date you."
This made Boscha freeze and growl as her anger was growing!
"Don't you DARE use her name against me." Boscha said as she pushed Luz off!
"Skara is a loving person, she loves you." Luz said, dodging a punch from Boscha, "The only reason I haven't ripped you apart yet is because I don't want to take away the person she loves."
"Shut up!" Boscha said.
Boscha tried to throw another punch, but Luz managed to trip her and held her down.
"You need to think about what's important to you! Your reputation, or the girl that loves you!" Luz said, "And let me say, after school ends, your reputation doesn't mean shit!"
Boscha grew angrier and made a large fireball, throwing it at Luz as she dodged as it exploded! Luz ran and grabbed Boscha by the cowl.
"Why do you act like this!?" Luz yelled, "What do you think this will get you!?"
"I don't-"
"Answer the damn question, because I can and will break you." Luz said, "I already tangled with the Emperor's top guard and beat him without even breaking a sweat. So unless you plan on entering a healers office, then answer the question."
Boscha looked down and calmed down a little.
"If... if I don't act tough... I may lose Skara." Boscha said, "I need to be strong to make sure she doesn't fall in love... with someone else."
"Do you really believe that?" Luz asked, letting go of Boscha, "Boscha, that girl will never fall for someone else, she loves you, but if you keep acting like this, you'll scare her away."
Luz began to walk away.
"Where are you going?" Boscha asked.
"This fight's over, I learned all I needed from you." Luz said.
"So... you forfeit?"
"No... you lost." Luz said, "Think about what I said."
Luz walked away, leaving Boscha, who fell to her knees for several reasons.
