AVERY WAIT, Luz yelled running to catch up with the track star but doing better than she would without the Boiling Isles w w what was all that back there, she sputtered as Avery sized her up with a calculating look waiting for her to finish as she got up in her face YOU STAY AWAY FROM COLLIN I WON'T HAVE YOU INFLUENCING... uh excuse me Collie asks tugging on Avery's skit again with a bright smile we uh had to much food he explained holding out a still wrapped.burger to her bringing a gentle smile to her lips "oh thank you honey she coos taking the burger with a hug and a forehead kiss that was very nice she continues now you go enjoy the rest of your food ok sweetie so you can grow up big and strong" "hehehe yes ma'am awww well isn't somepony the polite little gentleman she praises booping him again earning a melodious giggle never lose that ok I pinkie promise he relates with a smile bouncing off to Amity and Vee such a good boy" Avery chuckles sitting down on a spare bench and unwrapping her tasty gift and taking a big bite getting some water from her bag to wash it down before turning to Luz with an indecernable expression swallowing and patting the unoccupied side of the bench as Luz took that as invitation to sit down. "Now what were you saying ugh look I don't know what your game is but you're not getting to Collie you can pick on me call me weird whatever you like but STAY AWAY FROM MY LITTLE BROTHER... as she finished panting and trying to calm down Avery looked... stunned, good luz thought with a self satisfied high five maybe now she gets that no one messes with Luz Noceda or her family. "Wow she finally whispers collecting herself you're amazing Noceda you take every little thing and make it about you, thank you maybe now you wait what with all respect you're due you've talked incredibly to long Avery silenced with a cold expression let me ask you some questions 8 hours 47 minutes and six seconds does that mean anything to you as Luz plainly shook her head mostly afraid to say anything else but also surprised seeing Avery had tears in the corners of her eyes, oh I'm sorry that was to hard how about six hours 5 minutes and 43 seconds, again Luz shook her head, oh well surely you must know this one a week and a half as she shook more her hand's gripping the bench, as Luz's third head shake she clarifies listing them off: how long i practiced for Juliet, how long I spent on my science project, and how long I spent getting sign ups for the new cheerleading season AND YOU RUINED ALL OF EM b b but how Luz tried to ask oh no one actually wanted to come to the play because your little Juliet incident was filmed and up on snabgab within a second everyone didn't bother because they assumed everyone would be as immature as you, you cleared out the room with your snakes and fireworks before I could present and you just creeped all the girls out with your weird eye thing not to mention all the other stuff you've done to me", the girl finished with a growl letting a few tears fall, oh but I'm nurodivirgent she counters thinking this was all a misunderstanding ok so am I but I'm still expected to be polite, and a hard worker you're rude, obnoxious and a slacker", the blond points out and ya wanna know the worst thing you don't even care it's always everyone else's problem and they should just praise you for being you is that about right, she asks rhetorically turning to leave, you're telling me I should stay away from that kid and here I am just worried about you corrupting him your girlfriend's nice too as she leaves a dejected Luz behind.

Honestly like I say Luz doesn't really see any kind of real "reality check" in the human world (though you could argue she didn't get much in BI with her all I wanted was to be understood comment) and remember Avery doesn't know about the isles but ya I wanted Luz to glimpse that she's not entitled to be liked nor is she the center of the universe but ya expect 1 or 2 more chapters
