Chapter 4: Ours

Luz's POV:

Going to school is one thing that dreads me every morning because I have to wake up early. Well not just I but everyone who goes to school. The only thing I look forward to is meeting my friends.

As usual I would go the the coffee shop and buy myself a drink but this time I bought a caramel latte. I never knew they actually tasted good. I bought 2, one for me and one for Amity. The thought of her just makes me wag my tail not that I have one but you get the point. On my way, I passed the Blight Manor.

I saw Amity leaving her house so I did what every good person would do when they saw their friend, scare them. So, I hid behind the gate's brick entrance and when I heard footsteps I jumped out, making the little koala surprised. "Morning!" I said as I scared her. She just looked at me and that's when I...started running. She started chasing me because I made her spill her drink on her shirt.

I ran and she chased after me all the way to school. When she was exhausted I handed her my jacket and the latte I bought for her. "Your lucky I didn't throw the drink at you..." he said looking at me so I just booped her nose and she started chasing me...again. "How can you catch up to me with those short legs of yours?" I said running. Then of course the fun ended as the bell came.

Time skip~

It was music class but to day we're performing in front of the class as duos. Our music teacher Mr. Whispers gave everyone partners of course my partner is Amity. Hey, it's fun to be with her. She doesn't wanna be my friend just for money or attention, she actually cares. Everyone had their turn and next was me and Amity.

I played the acoustic guitar and she played the piano. I could tell she was nervous so I helped her get over it. "Hey it's just the class it's not like we're gonna be on stage..well we are but you get my point," and with that I hugged her. We went out and we started performing:

We started by playing the guitar and piano. I picked the song and we decided Amity was going to sing. Now that I think of it...I never heard her sing and I've been told no has ever heard her sing. Now I know why she's nervous. When she started singing I think I shed a tear.

Amity:

Elevator buttons and morning air
Strangers' silence makes me wanna take the stairs
If you were here we'd laugh about their vacant stares
But right now my time is theirs
Seems like there's always someone who disapproves
They'll judge it like they know about me and you
And the verdict comes from those with nothing else to do
The jury's out, but my choice is you


Luz and Amity:

So don't you worry your pretty, little mind
People throw rocks at things that shine
And life makes love look hard
The stakes are high, the water's rough
But this love is ours

Amity:

You never know what people have up their sleeves
Ghosts from your past gonna jump out at me
Lurking in the shadows with their lip gloss smiles
But I don't care 'cause right now you're mine


Luz and Amity:

And you'll say
Don't you worry your pretty, little mind
People throw rocks at things that shine
And life makes love look hard
The stakes are high, the water's rough
But this love is ours

Luz:

And it's not theirs to speculate
If it's wrong, and your hands are tough
But they are where mine belong, and
I'll fight their doubt and give you faith
With this song for you


Amity:

'Cause I love the gap between your teeth
And I love the riddles that you speak
And any snide remarks from my father
About your tattoos will be ignored
'Cause my heart is yours

Luz and Amity:

So don't you worry your pretty, little mind
People throw rocks at things that shine
And life makes love look hard
And don't you worry your pretty, little mind
People throw rocks at things that shine
But they can't take what's ours
They can't take what's ours
The stakes are high, the water's rough
But this love is ours


As we ended our song the room was all quiet and all eyes were on us. Then everyone gave a clap and Amity she was so happy that she tackled me into a hug. As we hugged everyone took out their phones.
