After introducing yourself and your supposed chocolate company, you and Luz were instant favorites of the club members, and it's safe to say that they didn't really expect Gus to keep his promise. And luckily for him, he did.
Everyone was leaving the room, saying their goodbyes to you and Luz in hopes of seeing the both of you again.
"Thanks for coming."
"Come back soon."
Eileen managed to get out a "thank you," despite it being muffled. She then ran off with her other clubmates with what seemed to be a smile. Mattholomule starts to rub his neck.
"Hey, guys. Thank you for being so forgiving."
"We've all been the new kid before. Right?" Luz mentioned to you and Gus.
"Yeah!" Gus quickly chimed.
You had a weird feeling. Like something very wrong was going to happen. You take a look at Mattholomule's smile and feel as if it didn't seem genuine.
"Well, I just have one thing to say." Mattholomule said.
Suddenly, the door violently swung open with two of the tall mysterious guards, from the last part, on the other side. Gus' eyes broadened from absolute terror while Luz became confused about what was going on. You turn to Mattholomule, whose seemingly innocent smile transformed into a crazed, devious one. He also grabbed your wanted posters from his pocket.
"There they are! They're the intruders you're looking for!" Mattholomule shrieked as he pointed at you and Luz.
This had only confirmed your bad feeling, as the guards marched forward to sniff the air. They groaned their usual words. Luz, in a nonchalant manner, tried to make good of the situation.
"No, it's fine. The ban's been lifted. Tell them, Gus."
Gus never replied, only to start sweating bullets at this rate. The guards take the brunette's comment as false and grab her, pulling her away with their hooks. Luz panics and glances at Gus, urging him to tell the guards about the ban.
"Luz! What happened, Gus!?" You shouted.
Gus couldn't bring himself to words until another guard pulled you away in the same direction as Luz. "I'm gonna have a long talk with you later, Gus! You hear me!?"
Gus started to panic himself as he peered at the boy beside him, who simply chuckled and crossed his arms.
"Who's the liar now, Augustus?"
Mattholomule walks over to the chalkboard with a smirk. Gus starts to feel irritated by the sight of the boy and clenches his fists tightly.
"I can't believe you guys fell for that." Mattholomule boasted. "Like I'd actually apologize. I had to be wary of Y/N. He does not know how to quit."
"What. Did. You. Do?" Gus angrily questioned.
""Oh, boo-hoo! I'm sowwy, I'm the new kid. I want friends."" Mattholomule mocked as he scoffed. "No! I want power! And I want drama, and I got one of those right now."
Mattholomule walks forward, trying to back Gus into a wall. "So, what are you gonna do, Mr. President?"
"Executive action, bitch."
Gus raises his fist and pulls it back, surprising and frightening Mattholomule on the spot.
◑◈◐
The scene changes to the Plant Homeroom, which has many students walking around and tending to their blossoming plants. Willow is standing next to the plant that accidentally ate Amelia in the last part. She writes a spell circle, which allows water to flow out and into the soil, giving the plant a bit to drink.
"Maybe I've been too hard on Gus. I mean, what trouble could they get into?"
Yelling from outside the hallway grabs Willow's attention just as much as everyone else. You and Luz are calling out for help when the guards are pulling you across the floor.
"Heelllllp! I don't even learn here!" Luz cried.
"Luz!" Willow gasped.
"I know you people can hear us screaming!" You squirmed.
"Y/N!?" Willow gasped even more.
"Where are you even taking us?" Luz questioned.
"Detention." The guard answered.
"Oh, that won't be so bad, right?" Luz asked herself.
The two guards turn a corner and stop, causing you to look around. Your eyes finally stopped at a gigantic door that had large bulging red eyes and opened an apparent mouth with what appeared to be a dubious smile.
"Oh, it's the fucking Boiling Isles for God's sake!" You threw your hands up. "Man, I was really expecting something inspired from The Breakfast Club."
"Ooh, that would've been fun!" Luz nodded.
The guards simply throw you both inside the door without a response, making you scream more than you did before. Only this time, it felt like you were truly going to die in a black void filled with nothing. Luz tightly holds on to you with a whimper.
"Y/N! If these are our last moments together, I just want you to know that I lo-"
You hit the hard ground below you with a thud. Luckily, you broke Luz's fall, considering that she was on top of you. However, she grew concerned for you when she heard groans of pain.
"Oh, God! Y/N!"
"My back." You sit up to hear a few cracks. "Oh, my back..."
You try to shake the pain off, resulting in you touching the top area of where your spine was located. Little did you know, you noticed that Luz was sitting right on your lap. After seeing that you were kinda okay and alive, it took her a few seconds to realize what happened as well. She rushes off of you and stands up quickly with a crimson face.
You also had a reddened expression, but that quickly went away when the pain escalated again. Luz's eyes widened, causing her to reach down and grab your hand, helping you up. After saying a quick thanks, you swayed your head and rolled your shoulders. Suddenly, you twisted your torso, causing instant relief to course through your back. Luz raises a hand to her mouth.
"Oh, my... don't do that, Y/N!" The brunette told.
"At least I didn't snap my neck like Gwen." You shook your head. "Poor woman..."
"Shut up! That's not funny!" Luz punched your arm with a worried grimace.
You chuckled while rubbing your arm. You then take in your surroundings and notice the major dungeon-like place that you were trapped in.
"Whoa. I thought detention back home was bad." You said.
"Right..." Luz managed to get out.
◑◈◐
Turns out, Gus simply pulled the fire alarm and got himself and Mattholomule sprayed with water. The next minute, they are being pulled away by a guard in the hallway.
"But I didn't pull the alarm! It was Augustus!" The guard ignored Mattholomule's claims. "Are you even listening to me!? I demand justice!"
As they were getting forcefully pulled away, Willow hid behind a pillar and peeked around the corner, seeing the two boys head to their doom. The guard shoves his hook inside the detention room, throwing Gus and Mattholomule with an unnecessary amount of spit. The door closes as Mattholomule rushes over to bang his fist on it.
"Wait! Get me outta here! Open up!"
Gus gets up and walks around, trying to get some of the spit off of his cowl. Although, he bumps into someone, causing him to look up and see you and Luz.
"Guys!" Gus cheered with a smile.
"Gus, you said the ban was lifted!" Luz replied.
"Yeah, what happened, Gus?" You crossed your arms with a scowl.
"Well, I-"
The ground shook, making you take cover as there was a massive hole opening up. A roar rang out with the hole appearing to have a mouth. Inside were many pods attached to blue branches flailing around, causing you, Luz, Gus, and Mattholomule to feel all the more unnerved.
◑◈◐
The cafeteria was calm and collected since there was nothing really disturbing the peace. That was until two doors busted open with smoke spilling through. The clicking of heels was heard among the students, allowing them to see purple ghosts falling down in a trail. The smoke then reveals Eda with purple slime stuck in her hair and a bag of ghosts on her back. She grunts while slamming the bag on the floor in front of Principal Bump.
"There! The girls' changing room is ghost-free." Eda frowned.
"Are you ready to give up?" Bump asked. He picks a ghost out of Eda's hair, making more slime settle into it. "You barely scratched the surface."
Eda growled, turning around to see Bo and Skara sitting at a table from afar. The former was trying to teach the other one how to form a ball of fire into snow, which smooshed onto the table. Skara realizes what she did wrong and does the same to replicate the spell. She succeeds with an even bigger snowball.
"Wow!" Skara and Bo then hug each other. "Friendship is the real magic."
"They're just as bad as Luz. She'd love it here." Eda said with a smirk. She turns toward Bump. "Alright, what's next, Bumpikins?"
Bump smirks with a plunger in his hands. Eda, still with a smile on her face, squeezes her hands into fists along with a couple more muffled growls.
◑◈◐
"How is this detention!? This is a death sentence!" Luz shouted.
"Yeah, considering that I broke my back on the way down here." You sighed.
"I don't know! I've never been in detention before!" Gus then realizes what you said. "Wait, what!?"
"Welcome to my world." Mattholomule smirked. "Believe it or not, at my old school, I was in detention plenty of times."
"That's not surprising, you asshole!" You exclaimed.
"Yeah, you're pretty much a jerk!" Luz agreed.
"Well, down in detention, this jerk is king." Mattholomule told.
"I find that hard to believe." You rolled your eyes.
"Y'know, I'm about tired of your slick comments! All you did today was cause me trouble!" Mattholomule yelled, getting in your face. "Why don't you shut your mouth and listen for once?"
"You're not the first entitled person I beat up, and you're certainly not gonna be the last." You scowled.
"Guys! This arguing isn't going to get us out!" Luz claimed, getting in front of you both. "Mattholomule, why don't you back away, and Y/N, please keep your comments to yourself."
You and Mattholomule comply, muttering a few choice words under your breaths. Luz then turns to the supposed 'jerk king'. "Okay, Mattholomule, what do we need to do?"
"If you guys wanna get out, you better do exactly what I say." Mattholomule stated. "First, before anything else, you gotta-"
He is interrupted by a large vine coming out of the ground, causing him to fall back. The vine has a demonic mask that reveals its mouth of sharp teeth, opening it to pour out water-like liquid. It forms a tentacle and grabs Mattholomule's foot. He frowns in realization.
"Already?" He said before being pulled down into the pit with all of the pods.
His screams were then silenced by the pod that encased him completely, causing him to be trapped in a hypnotized state. You and Luz run over to the edge to see what's going on but witness Mattholomule's new prison.
"Mattholomule!" Luz called out. She then looked up at Gus, who retreated to the other side of the room. "You lied to me! You lied about the ban! Why?"
"I was afraid. I a-acted stupid!" Gus replied.
"Yes, you did!" Luz frowned.
"And I even cursed at Mattholomule, and that's not even me!"
"That's my boy!" You chimed in but noticed Luz's glance. "I-I mean, whaaa...?"
"Being younger than everyone is hard." Gus starts to make his way over to you slowly standing on an edge. "You're overlooked. Ignored! But at the HAS, I mattered. I could make sure no one ever get left behind."
"I didn't wanna lose that." Gus looks down in shame. "I'm sorry..."
Despite the anger, and pride(?), you felt for the boy, you couldn't help but resonate with him. You knew exactly how it felt to be like an outcast to everybody else. That had only gotten worse by your first week of high school. So you let your anger subside and place a hand on Gus' shoulder.
"It's admirable that you tried to look out for others." You said. "Nobody should have to go what you went through."
"Yeah, I just wish you told us the truth." Luz added on.
Gus smiled at the both of you, grateful that you were understanding of his situation.
"So, you said you cursed at Mattholomule? Which word did you use?" You asked with a certain curiosity. Luz gives you a disturbed look.
"Out of all the things that's happening, and you're worried about that?"
Before you can provide your reasoning, you could hear hissing from below you. Upon looking down, you saw many green snakes just like the one that grabbed Mattholomule earlier. However, there was a large group of them. You start to panic.
"Let me make it up to you guys! I got a plan!"
Luz panics but manages to kick a snake out of the way.
"I'm in. Where do we start?"
Gus grabs the both of your hands with a determined smile. "By leaving no one behind."
You smirked and cracked your neck. After doing that, you dived down into the hole with the other two, thus grabbing much shock from Luz. Gus simply yelled out in bravery.
Safely crashing down at the bottom, you landed with ease whereas Luz and Gus were beside you grunting. You stood up and scanned the area for Mattholomule until you found him in his hypnotized state. You alert your friends and make your way over to Mattholomule, bringing his blue cocoon down.
"You will be a good student."
"I will be a good student." Mattholomule replied in his trance.
Luz, with a tenacious scowl, went down and tried to bite off the jelly-like cocoon. However, her efforts weren't as successful. You could see Luz lightly licking her lips in a thoughtful manner.
"Y'know, it didn't taste as bad as I thought it would." She said. You and Gus blankly stared at her. "Oh, you two have magic! Use it!"
"Oh, I'll use magic." Gus then brought out the paper clip from earlier. "Human magic!"
The dark-skinned witch stabs the cocoon and unwraps Mattholomule, freeing him from his slimy prison. Although, he appears to be kept in his trance.
"Am I a good student?" You went to carry Mattholomule over your shoulder.
"Yes, I'll make sure to reward you a gold star." You told. "Maybe even Student of the Week."
"Oh, gosh. He's so little." Luz noticed Mattholomule's small stature on your shoulder.
You all try to get out of the detention room, but you hear a faint beat coming from afar. You somehow recognize it and turn toward the sound. When you realize that it's music that's playing, you quietly gasp and drop Mattholomule, resulting in a gentle thud.
"It can't be..."
"Y/N!" Luz yells at you for dropping Mattholomule. She then sees your face. "What's wrong?"
"Hold on..." You softly reply. Becoming confused, Luz follows you over to another cocoon with Gus now holding Mattholomule. Your eyes widened in surprise with who was in front of you. "Now what are you doing here?"
You draw a F/C spell circle and put your hand through it, forming a blade made of abomination goo that covers your hand. You rip through the cocoon, being careful to not hurt whoever was inside. The cocoon sinks down to reveal the person, shocking Luz as well. Gus simply ended up being confused about why this happened.
In front of you was Jordan Williams. The same kid that befriended you back in the Human Realm when everybody else refused to. He was in the exact trance that Mattholomule was in, however, he was singing along to prison music for some particular reason.
I get locked up
They won't let me out, they won't let me out
(I'm locked up) They won't let me out, no, they won't let me out
Jordan continued to bop his head to the beat, causing you and Luz to glance at each other in utter confusion. You gazed back at the boy who kept singing. You then slapped him, making the trance to go away. Jordan shook his head and looked around in shock. Luz frowned at your actions, which you shrugged.
"What the hell!?" Jordan exclaimed with broadened eyes.
"Hey, Jordan." You greeted, resulting in him looking at you and becoming even more shocked. Although, he gains a smile.
"Y/N!" Jordan got out of the cocoon and hugged you. He then leaves his hands on your shoulders. "I didn't even know you were here!"
"Wait, what? How did you even get here?" You raised your eyebrow.
"I went into some abandoned house, ended up on the other side to some f-f-freaking demon world." He waved his hands. "Look, I-I'll explain everything after we get out of here."
"Right!" You nodded, turning to see Gus' confused face. "Gus, Jordan. Jordan, Gus. Jordan, Mattholomule. Mattholomule, Jordan. He can't really respond because he's knocked out."
Jordan nodded slowly, only being a bit confused like Gus. You all run to the pathway you tried to follow but many snakes start to surround you.
"Uh, this is part of the plan, right?" Luz asked.
"Or the illusion of the plan!" Gus smirked.
The dark-skinned witch then used his magic to create multiple versions of you, making the snakes baffled and quite irritated. Away from the teasing and cursing illusions of you, Gus grabs a large bone and rushes over to the pathway with you all behind him.
"A genius and a wordsmith!" Luz complimented.
This gave you the chance to get out of their grasp, eventually climbing your way up. Stepping on some eyes in the wall, you notice Jordan flipping around from tooth to tooth.
"What the hell did that cocoon do to you?" You raised your eyebrow.
"I don't even know!" Jordan replied with a grin.
Parkouring his way to the top, Jordan manages to push himself into the air and flip three times, landing perfectly. You blankly blinked at the performance.
"Man, I should be a professional gymnast. You guys have any events similar to the Olympics?" Jordan asked Gus.
"Olym... pics?" He questioned.
"There's no time for that, we have to go now!" You urged, punching a snake down.
"Agreed!" Luz said as you all started running again.
"We're gonna have to bust down the door!" Gus acknowledged, using the giant bone that he grabbed from inside the pit.
You all prepare yourselves by grabbing a side of the bone. You create a F/C abomination that wasn't that much taller than you but was at least stronger. He gets behind on one end of the bone and places his hands on it. From there, you all charge at the down with your combined strengths with a few bits of yelling.
◑◈◐
Outside, Willow quietly walked toward the door, looking around for if anybody had followed her. She turns back around and lifted the wooden bar off the door, holding the left part in her hands. Although, she hears Eda's voice from afar, becoming alerted.
"I washed off all the graffiti, apologized to Miss Jenkinmeyer for stealing her teeth, caught all the wild cerebi..." Eda counted her fingers before dusting them off. "Ah, we should be good!"
"It will be very exciting to have a real human and a half-witch as exchange students."
Principal Bump raises his hand to shake Eda's as a part of her keeping her end of the bargain. Eda, with her hand folded into Bump's, peeks around.
"And you won't tell the Emperor's Coven about this, will you?"
"No, Hexside is safe for you all. I'm a principal, not a stooge." Bump lightly smiled. "Consider your pupils our pupils."
That was when a loud bang was heard, causing Eda and Bump to turn around and see Willow nervously glancing at the two and back at the door. The door bangs again and crashes down, leading to you and the rest getting out with heavy breaths.
The abomination dropped the bone and shifted its torso around, allowing everyone to see an unconscious Mattholomule. He is gently put onto the ground and casually looks at you for further orders. You put a hand on the abomination's shoulder.
"You did well today. Abomination, cower." You ordered, forming a spell circle.
The abomination groaned with a small smile, and collapsed within itself, going through the spell circle before it disappeared completely.
"Eda?" Luz asked.
"Guess who got you two into Hexside?" Eda cheered with her arms raised.
"What-"
Luz was interrupted by the snakes hissing behind her and harshly slithering into the room. However, Bump, with a neutral face, snaps his fingers and manages to get the snakes to stop, going back into a normal state.
"Oh, um... sorry, Principal Bump, sir." One snake apologized.
"What did you do?" Bump clenched his fists.
"Guys..." Eda facepalmed.
"To think that any student of yours would be capable of anything but create chaos!" Bump yelled. "Eda, take your students and leave!"
"You all are banned from this campus!" The principal boomed with emotion.
"Ugh... come on, kids..."
You and Luz glance at each other before looking down in shame. You walk over to Eda.
"Wait!"
You all turn and look toward Gus, who also looks down but was prepared to tell the truth.
"Principal Bump, don't blame Luz or Y/N. I was the one who told them that their bans were lifted, that we were fighting over the Human Appreciation Society. I brought them because I wanted to win." Gus pauses before looking Bump straight in the eye. "This is all my fault."
"If that be so, Augustus, would you be willing to accept their punishments as your own?"
"Yes, Principal Bump, I would." Gus answered with zero hesitation in his voice.
You all gaze upon the boy, who seems truthful about being willing to take the fall. Eda put her hands on her hips and grinned.
"Huh... dang dweebus." She said. Bump goes to you and Luz.
"Very well. In light of that, barring any more trouble, you shall be officially enrolled in Hexside School next semester." Bump declared.
You and Luz gasp, jumping with excitement to eventually hug one another.
"Hold on!" Eda gets in front of Luz. When she saw that Bump didn't back away, she urged him to by waving her hand at him. He simply took two steps back. "Look, I'm only doing this because I have faith in you, and I know you're too smart to fall for that One-Witch, One-Coven nonsense."
"You can learn a lot from the witches here." Eda glanced at Bump before whispering, "And maybe teach them some of that Bad Girl Coven magic too."
Luz giggled at Eda's comment before the latter turned over to you.
"And Y/N, if you truly want to learn how to harness your magic, you can surely find that out at Hexside. Besides, I'm certain they have something about half-witches."
"I don't think we do." Bump stroked his chin.
"Well, scratch that idea. Anyway, I know you didn't have a good experience in the Human Realm, but just know that you are free and welcome to be yourself here." Eda lightly taps you on the chest with her finger. "Stay true to who you want to be."
You smile brightly at the witch, feeling touched by her words. You gently bring her into a hug, who responds by patting your back with a smile. You both pull apart.
"And plus, can you believe that I had to seriously reverse my mark on this school? I significantly changed this place for the better, and with you as my supposed nephew who seemingly gained a bit of my rebelliousness, I believe you can carry on my legacy!"
You gain another shit-eating grin, allowing Eda to see an eager spark in your eyes. She chuckles and pats your shoulder before getting up.
"I didn't hear that." Bump frowned. He walks over to Gus. "As for you, I would be saying detention right now, but that seems to be out of order. So, as of now, I'm removing you from the Human Appreciation Society."
"Does that make me president?" Mattholomule asked with his face planted to the ground.
"Impressive. Still alive." Bump said in a surprised manner before frowning again. He tosses the crown away. "Yes, I suppose you are."
Mattholomule painfully raises his fist in the air. "Yes..."
"And you, I haven't seen you around here. I suppose you're another one of Eda's students?"
Jordan sweats a little and tries to find the right words. You, on the other hand, come over and place your hands on his shoulders.
"Indeed! He is!"
"I am?/He is?" Jordan and Eda uttered simultaneously.
"Trust me, he is. He's another human that grew up with Luz and I back in the Human Realm. He has stellar grades, is amazing at sports, and has consistently done community service. Think of the opportunities you would have with this young man!" You negotiated.
Bump hummed in thought with Eda shaking her head from the offer.
"I don't even know who this kid-"
"Deal!" Bump shook your hand and clasped it with his other right behind his back again. "I never seen him with you all before but he does live with you, I presume?"
You gaze at Eda with a casual smirk, causing her to realize that she wouldn't get any say in the situation and that you would figure your way around everything irregardless.
"Great, another child to take in." Eda thought to herself as she blinked owlishly.
"Yes... he lives with us..." Eda supposedly confirmed.
"Jordan!"
You all turn to see a female teenager who appears to have known him.
"C'mon, man! You know I've been looking for you!"
Your pupils expanded when you saw the girl, her beauty making your heart swell and your hair stand on one end. Her fair skin complexion matched with that of her light brown long-sleeved shirt and comfortable Adidas along with black leggings that hugged her waist. The sunlight from outside shined toward the window, kissing the girl's skin. It was enough to make you gulp a bit hard, which was luckily not noticed by anyone else.
I've been really tryin', baby
Tryin' to hold back this feeling for so long
"Oh, hell no! Who the hell is playing 'Let's Get It On'?" Jordan questioned.
Gus, who was inspecting a Beats Pill in his hand, jumped when the play button was pressed by him. He nervously looks at Jordan marching over to him and snatching the speaker.
"I must've dropped it on the ground." He then peers over to Gus reluctantly. "Thanks."
And if you feel like I feel, baby
Then, c'mon, oh, c'mon (whoo!)
Gus anxiously nods, still shaking from the song suddenly playing. Jordan turns it off and walks back over to you, which he then notices that you couldn't keep your eyes off of the girl. He gritted his teeth at your frozen state.
"Now, Y/N, we've talked about this. Stop looking at my sister like that!"
"Sister?" Eda mumbled. You get out of your trance.
"O-Oh, r-right! I'm so s-s-sorry." You tensely smiled with a bright blush.
Jordan's sister giggled at your nervousness and gave you a kind smile, which didn't help with that nervousness. She then gazes at the broken detention door. "I've seen that you've saved my dorky brother."
"I saved myself!" Jordan exclaimed. You gave him a look while crossing your arms. "Okay, you helped with the cocoon. I clearly needed no help with the rest of it."
"He clearly needed our help to break down that door." You said with a blank face.
"Well, I appreciate you for saving him, even if he refuses to say thank you."
Jordan rolled his eyes and crossed his arms, looking the other way. His sister glanced over to you and slightly bent down to your level, kissing your cheek with more appreciation. You couldn't help but blush a deeper crimson than before. As your legs felt like jelly, causing you to sink to the ground slowly, Willow was trying to calm Luz down silently.
"Boy, if you don't get yo' ass up..." Jordan scolded you.
Hearts filled your pupils while you were on the ground, given the fact that you were very lovestruck at the moment. The sister approaches Eda and Bump, making the former raise her eyebrow at her out of surprise.
"And you're supposed to be?" The witch questioned.
"I'm Jade. Jordan's sister as he had previously said."
"Yeah, I heard that part." Eda waved off.
"You remind me of someone." Bump hummed while stroking his chin. He then snapped his fingers. "Naomi! She looked just like you! Well, minus the clothes. However, she did just graduate a few months prior."
"Oh, really?" Jade replied with Bump nodding.
"Wait, can Jade enroll with us?" You asked.
"And there it is..." Eda muttered with her eye twitching.
"Of course you'd want that." Jordan scowled.
Luz was practically fuming at this point.
"Well, I don't see why not. Considering that she is related to Jordan, who lives with Eda apparently, I will ensure that it happens!" Bump declared yet again. "Now, with that accomplished, Eda, we have some paperwork to fill out."
"Wait, I gotta do more stuff? Ugh!" Eda groans out. Before she walked off with Bump, she ruffled your hair. "You better enjoy this place, kid."
"You didn't have to do that, y'know?" Jade said. "Me and Jordan didn't intend on joining here."
"Nah, I insisted." You waved off. "Besides, the author wanted to introduce new characters anyway."
"Ah, I see." Jade winked with a smile.
You smiled back, looking around and placing your gaze on the others. Gus came toward you.
"Wanna finish off that tour?"
"We might as well since we almost got killed today." You placed a hand on your hip. "Oh, why am I surprised? I've been in a life-or-death situation ever since I got here."
"Same here, bro. It's like everything wants to eat me." Jordan agreed.
"Something tells me that you two are gonna have to get used to this place." Willow told. "I can also show you guys what plants not to touch in the greenhouse."
"And then I can let you touch them." Willow smirked.
"Then make sure they won't start chomping anybody." Jordan joked. You all laugh lightly to yourselves when Jordan starts to laugh along awkwardly. "Right?"
Everyone continues to laugh, not comforting Jordan's unnerved feeling. This allowed Luz to calmly collect her thoughts from afar.
"Hey, Luz."
Luz turns to see Jade right beside her, only to make her look the other way with pursed lips and crossed arms.
"Hey, Jade." Luz greeted rather coldly.
Jade caught the attitude and sighed. "Look, that was just a platonic kiss back there... plus, I kinda wanted to see his reaction, but that's not the point!"
"And your point is?"
"I have no desire to be with Y/N. He's pretty much yours to begin with." Jade shrugged.
"Damn straight!" Luz exclaimed. She then realized what she said and heavily reddened. "I-I-I mean, n-no! I'm n-not-"
"Luz, it's okay. It's been quite obvious that you liked him for a long time."
"Oh... okay..." Luz anxiously rubbed her arm.
"Guys! C'mon!" You yelled out from the other side of the hall.
"I suggest you take your chance with him. Someone is gonna eventually catch feelings for him sooner or later." Jade warned. "Other than that, he'll might lose feelings for you."
Luz sighed and couldn't help but agree. She didn't know what was taking so long for her to actually make a move. She almost confessed when you were both falling but you unfortunately broke your back when you hit the ground, only prolonging her decision.
The two girls walk toward the others, leaving Mattholomule near the rubble, twitching in his fractured state.
"Hey! Wait, take me! I'm your president." Mattholomule tries to get up but seems paralyzed. "Come on..."
◑◈◐
Next, there was a montage with rock music playing in the background, showcasing what Eda did at Hexside when she was there. She, indeed, let loose ghosts in the girls' locker room, forming abominations that caused a food fight, hexing the bell to play pop songs all day at the school, releasing giant bugs into a classroom, and feeding the school griffin spicy snacks for it to vomit over the grudgby field.
The person who wrote about these incidents was tired of their job and started to write to themself like it was their diary. They eventually started self-care because their friends recommended it. They are living a perfect life as of today.
"Damn, poor guy." You said.
"You actually read those paragraphs?" Eda questioned.
All in due time, you all made it back to the Owl House and sat on the couch, looking through Eda's old permanent record. The older witch sat on the floor flipping through, gaining a smile filled with nostalgia. You and Luz sat on each of her sides.
"Bump was not exaggerating. You were a terrible student." Luz shook her head.
"Terrible is an understatement." You frowned.

◈Author's Note◈
||Hey, guys! Look, I know I promised a lot of things, but I just couldn't fulfill them with the crazy things I've been through. My ex dumped me earlier this summer, which is not why I'm not updating and I'm not obligated to cry over her. My writer's block is a huge factor in this case and I just didn't find the motivation to write. Even when I do get one spark of it, I always end up distracted by something else. And so, I went to the beach with family to get some creativity flowing but the hotel ended up being crappy as hell so I had to make the best of it. Now I finished my first weeks back to school and it's gonna be a lot of pressure||
||However, I did come up with a few ideas. One of those being Jordan and Jade being included in the Boiling Isles, thus this part that was published. I have many other ideas that I want to bring out but I have been thinking about this one for a really long time. Honestly, I should've put a vote for you guys on the A/N & Bio. Since Luz was the primary love interest for the reader, I have been thinking of adding Amity to the equation. So do you guys think I should continue on that idea or no? Let me know in the comments||
||I really want to continue this story, which apparently has gotten up to 31k views! And this book was also #5 in toh!!! This is all thanks to you guys. I should've learned from making promises but I'm trying to hold on to this story as much as I can. With enough dedication, I believe I can finish it. Again, thank you for the support that was given to me. I love you guys||
||I also started a scenarios book a while back so feel free to check that out if you want. It's called "My Kind of Magic".||
||BYEEE 👋||
