Red String - Lumity

Chapter 4: Not So First Day

Walking into the entrance was alright but getting the stares of everyone in the hall just gives you that feeling that you wanna dig a deep hole, crawl in it and die. She passed by all of them until she reached her locker. Putting her stuff in she felt a tap on her shoulder. Tensing up, she turned around, "please don't hit me." Not looking at who it was, made them laugh. "What are you talking about? I'm not gonna hit you." She looked up, her eyes meeting hazel eyes. Tan skin, long brown hair, someone slightly taller than her.

"You gonna keep staring at me Blight?"

"Sorry, I thought you were someone else," she muttered. "Alright, so what's your first class?" The brunette asked. "Oh uhh." she fumbled through her locker, finally finding a piece of paper. "Uhh, Geography with Mr. Winter." "Cool, I have that too. I'll walk you there." She gave her a smile making the Blight's face flush red slightly. Gesturing her to walk with her, Amity walked beside her, clenching her book in her arm. She looked at the latina, studying her facial features like how her hair looks soft and fluffy, how her brown caramel coloured eyes seem to be shining - well maybe because of the sunlight. Her warm smile - looking like it could make anyone else smile.

"You know, if you keep looking at me like that, you might bump into someone Blight."

The girl turned to face Amity, her face growing red in embarrassment. OhmygodwhywasIlookingatherforsolong?Shemustthinkimweirdfordoingthat. "It's alright, I people stare at you all the time what do you expect?" Luz said reassuring her. Finally arriving at their class, the parted ways to take a seat. Luz somewhere in the middle column beside the window and Amity a few seats in front of her. She settle her books on her table, putting everything in place. Students around the class laughing at each other and chatting since the teacher wasn't here yet.

When the teacher came in everyone scattered back to their seats. "Morning class, today we have a new students in our class. Mind introducing yourself Miss Blight?" He asked, taking his seat. Amity got off her seat and went to the front. Alright, Amity. Don't mess this up. "Hi, I'm Amity Blight. I just moved from Cameron High. I'm hoping to spent the rest of  rest of the semester here with all of you. Getting to you more along the way." Her heart was going a million miles per hour when no one said anything, just their stare piercing through her, that is until someone broke it. "Nice to meet you Blight, hoping to spend the rest of the semester here with you too. I hope we could be friends too." She looked around the room to see who said that, looking at Luz who was giving her a wink.

The bell rang  rang, students started pouting out filling the halls, getting ready for their next class. Amity packed her stuff and got out to go for her next class, History. She walked out seeing Luz ahead of her, she quickly walked up and tugged on her sleeve. "Oh, hey Blight. What's up?" Amity was avoiding eye contact from her, not wanting to see her flustered face. "Thanks, for earlier." Luz gave her a smile and place a finger on her chin, pulling it up to face her," no problem. Besides, I know how it feels to be new in a new school with introductions and whatever. So what's your next class? I have Biology after this, then Physics then lunch."

"Uhm, History, Physics and lunch too." After their little conversation, they decided to have lunch together after Physics. Separating their paths for their class, Amity got to her class on time before the bell rang, forgetting to ask Luz where History class was. Taking her seat near the back doing introductions as usual. Moving from History to Physics - seeing Luz again. Entering Physic's class, she saw Luz sitting down near at the back talking to someone. She didn't seem happy nor comfortable talking to her.
