Guess what dear diary? . . Mom's date went incredibly well, but Mom and Mr. Daemonnete preferred to be friends only after going on a couple more dates. It's a shame because I liked him a little, but it doesn't matter. Even if Mom doesn't go out with him, I can still be a little shit. and her friend.
Mother and daughter were watching television, Camila had returned not long ago from her appointment with the rector Darius, she looked really happy but exhausted after the appointment where the man had taken her to a newly opened skating rink. The two had had a great time that afternoon but at the same time they were able to confirm something to each other.
They were not as compatible as they thought at that time or at least not for now, they both simply had too many things in their lives to formalize a genuine relationship, Camila had her daughter and he was in a moment of his career that would be soon be his biggest concern, sadly this was the end of his outings, at least for now.
"Mom, why did you no longer wanted to date with ?" Luz asked her mother as she lay down on her mother's lap. The woman sighed and shook her daughter's short hair.
- It just wasn't the right time for us, my little star - the woman muttered, with a lethargic tone that soon gave way to a long yawn - But don't worry about that, daughter, there will be more opportunities in the future.
-I don't know mom, he really seemed like a good match and. . . .
-I know that look Luz - Camila took her girl's nose between two fingers and pulled her playfully - Darius is a good man, but I wouldn't go out with him to give you some benefit mija.
-I never said that, mom - The brunette tried to divert attention by looking away to hide her wishes from her mother, but she pulled her nose again.
- I know you very well my niña, you are just like your sister Lucia in that aspect - Camila reproaches her - I wonder how she would react if she knew I was back in the game.
- I think she would be happy for you mom - Luz whispered and a small yawn escaped her - Maybe you should ask her when you see her again. I miss her a little.
- Me too, daughter - Camila sighed, taking an old photo where her two brown sugar princesses appeared. - Me too.
(Luz sighed, deleting a paragraph and starting to write another)
Dear Diary: This is weird, I don't know how to explain it properly, but things have been a little strange this week at school and I'm not talking about having a teacher who dated my mother at the same school as me, greeting me when come in, for nothing. . . . It's like saying, well I've been feeling this presence on my back these last few days, but I don't know where it's coming from, every time I turn to look for it it disappears before I can locate it, all this is really bothering me but I don't know what to do.
**********A couple of days later**********
Dear diary: Today a new boy transferred to school, he is very withdrawn and hardly interacts with others, but for some reason he has no problem talking to Emira's younger sister, I always see them together at recess and I can't avoid feeling a bit envious of Amity. He is full of scars and has a broken tooth that makes him look super cute, but I'm afraid to approach and talk to him, he doesn't seem to be very friendly although Amity doesn't seem to be affected by that, but she seems a bit annoyed when she have him around.
On the other hand, dear diary, I stopped feeling the presence on my back, which is good because I was already getting scared that someone was going to kidnap me and then my mom would be left alone with no one by her side, no no no, what That would be horrible, wouldn't it? But it's also curious that I stopped feeling the gazes on my back when that boy arrived at school, I wonder if both cases are related to each other.
Well, dear diary, I have to go, I will try to talk to that boy and become friends with him and if possible also with Amity, her sister told me that she only has Boscha and Skara as her friends and that is sad because Boscha is always there practicing rugby and hardly spends time with Amity just like Skara who has to practice a lot with his harp.
Well, wish me luck every day, tomorrow I will try to make friends with that child no matter what the cost.
*********The next morning*********
Luz woke up as was her custom every day, her mother had left early for work, but not before putting breakfast on the table for her beautiful girl, that was what she could read in the note on the plate.
The girl sighed when she saw the plate before starting to eat. - I'm big now, mom, you don't need to worry about preparing breakfast for me - the girl growled but still ate without complaining about it. With his belly full he ran to catch the bus at the stop, but when he got on he noticed that most of the seats were already full except for one place.
- Hi, how are you? - Luz approached to greet the blonde boy sitting in the only available place - Can I sit?
The blonde looked at her for a moment before looking away and clicking his tongue. "Go ahead, there don't seem to be any more seats," the boy murmured, not paying any more attention to her on his part.
-Thank you- the brunette sighed - My name is Luz Noceda! You're the new guy, right? I hadn't had the chance to greet you before - Luz commented, extending her hand towards him, the boy looked at her hand for a moment before taking it.
-Hunter Whittebane - He answered dryly.
-Nice to meet you Hunter, I hope we can be friends - She said, shaking the boy's hand, he sighed in response and moved his hand away when he released her.
-I don't , I came to Gravesville with my uncle and his insipid assistant because of his job, I have no desire to make friends with you. - The boy growled.
- ! But you're already friends with Amity! Why not be my friend too? - the girl exclaimed, taking the blonde's hands in hers and looking him in the eyes - Come on, be my friend pleaaseee! - The boy's face began to turn a red color that stood out too much against his light skin. - Are you OK? Your face is a little red.
Luz asked, looking at the boy's face, Hunter just pulled his hands away abruptly and ran to another seat, the girl followed him with her eyes, Hunter had stood next to another pair of seats, pointing at her and saying things that she couldn't hear. A laugh was heard from the seat that the blonde had visited and a person stood up from the seat, giving his place to Hunter who sighed somewhat in relief.
- Heeey Luz! How are you? my favorite weird gal - Her new seatmate greeted her, giving her a little tap on the shoulder as she took her place next to her, Luz then wanted to sink into place at that moment.
-Hello Boscha - Luz returned the greeting, forcing a smile out of courtesy, she didn't liked the girl at all but there wasn't much she could do to change her - (Maybe I should have been more subtle with my attempts at friendship) - she sighed in her head, Turning to look at the spot where the blonde had sat, she could see him but not the person next to him thanks to the seats and the distance.
- Not bad Noceda, you almost scared the new kid away and it's only his first week here - The girl next to him gave him a compliment - At least he didn't jump off the bus like that boy on the skateboard.
- Why are you like that, Boscha?! - Luz asked - You used to be such a gentle girl in the past.
- I don't know Luz, why? You are like that?! - The girl returned the question with a sarcastic tone - You used to be more normal before. - the girl pointed out and then no one said anything else during the rest of the journey.
At the entrance to the school, Luz got off the bus as fast as she could while she started looking everywhere for the blonde boy, but he had also run when getting off in order to put as much distance as possible between him and the crazy brunette. .
- Good morning Noceda - The rector's voice brought her out of her thoughts, Luz blinked for a moment, doubting if she could see the man's face - You don't need to worry about anything girl, I have a strong professional sense to not let my private life interfere with my work environment. - the man muttered.
" And now, go to class, girl, you're late," Darius sighed, pushing the girl into the school. Luz only ran when she felt the man's push. He didn't seem upset with her and that was clearly a good thing. Now she could dedicate herself. to her other problem.
- I must become friends with Hunter - Luz assured herself, she would not let that boy remain miserable.
-Guys, have you seen Hunter anywhere, I can't find him? - Luz asked her friends, she had spent the entire day looking for the boy without having any luck, the more she searched, the harder it seemed to be to find him.
Gus looked into the distance, noticing how a blonde strand was trying to camouflage himself between three green hair - (Should I tell him it's there or let the poor boy have a tiny break from Luz?) - He questioned himself, weighing which of the options was better. at the moment.
- ! There it is! - Willow exclaimed pointing to the trio of Blight children - run before he does - Luz was pushed by her friend, running as fast as she could before Hunter could notice her. The blonde boy felt his body paralyze for a moment before fixing his gaze on the brunette girl running in his direction, but the moment he tried to run he fell to the ground, watching as Luz approached him while he felt like a deer in the middle of the road.
- Hunter! I finally found you - The girl exclaimed, putting herself on top of the boy so that he couldn't escape again - Come on, be my friend! I want to be your friend - Luz pointed out, looking at his face and getting very close to his face, Hunter could feel his face burning with the shame he was feeling at that moment for having a girl on top of him.
While that was happening, Amity, who was Emira sister were foaming at the mouth while being dragged by the twins, away from the scene - Come on Mittens, we have to give them a little privacy, how beautiful is the youth these days it makes me feel so old - Emira sighed for a moment, a moment where his sister tried to free herself to go behind the blonde boy.
-Emira, stop daydreaming! Mittens is getting more aggressive than before –Edric Emira twin screeched, worried for his own safety at the threat that his beloved little sister was turning.
- Come on be my friend! - Luz repeated again, holding the boy's arms so that he could not free himself as easily as he had a few moments ago.
- No, leave me alone, you crazy! - Hunter struggled with her, but Luz had more strength than him at that moment, but the blonde, far from giving up, began to shake until he made the brunette lose her balance. Luz fell on her side while Hunter took advantage of the moment to run to the Blight's side.
-Huuunteeer! - Amity shouted the boy's name when she saw him, freeing herself from the twins' grip very easily, the blonde tried to stop when she saw her but the girl managed to grab him by the collar of his shirt. - Explain to me what that thing was back there?! - Amity questioned him while shaking him vigorously in the air.
- I don't know, she said she wanted to be my friend, but she's crazy! - Hunter responded, falling to the ground sitting in front of a girl who was smiling in a way that made him feel a sense of fear while whispering something in his ear.
It had taken Luz a couple of minutes to find the blonde, but there she was next to the Blights, the twins didn't scare her, the two used to treat the rest of the school in a friendly manner, but Amity was another story, the girl she didn't talk much to other people outside his circle and closed himself off from contact with new people. Luz watched for a moment as the youngest Blight seemed to give the blonde an order and point in his direction.
Hunter looked at her before approaching with steps that seemed to be shuffling. – Luz . . . . . Do you want to be my friend? - The boy asked her, Luz for a moment wanted to jump on the boy but she stopped by raising her hand in front of her - Wait! There is a condition to be your friend - Hunter's gaze was fixed on the youngest of the Blights - I want you to also be friends with Mit. . . Sorry, I mean Amity. Do you accept?
Luz blinked, scratched her eyes and even pricked her arm to realize that she wasn't dreaming - Yes! - she exclaimed, this time jumping on the boy, Hunter could feel Luz's weight on him and Amity's murderous gaze stabbing daggers into his back.
"Making friends has never been so hard," the boy sighed, resigning himself to the fact that this would be his life until his uncle decided to move back, but for now he would be trapped at the mercy of beauty and annoyance.
