Chapter 2: Trouble with School
After a night of no sleep and a rather silent breakfast with her siblings nowhere to be seen, Amity trek to Hexside and the classes that followed were tedious to say the least. No matter what she did or how much she tried to think of something else, Amity thoughts were still locked on this secret about her past and why she of all people wasn't suppose to know. It was her past and she had a right to know! It was so mind numbing that her body was on autopilot as she went back to her locker for her next class.
"Hey, Amity, how is going?" a voice said to her, bringing her out of her intense thinking.
Amity turned to see her enemy turned friend, Luz Noceda of the Everything Track, a track that only a once in a life time student enrolls in to learn every magic at Hexside, made obvious by her multicolored sleeves and stockings with a bit of every track in school. It would be hard but that didn't stop Luz from learning and Amity admired that tenacity of hers.
"Oh, hey Luz." Amity said as she turned to her. "I'm doing fine."
She says that but from the bags under her eyes and the slight groan in her voice, Luz knew for a fact Amity was NOT fine. Something was bugging her and it was taking a negative effect.
'Maybe I can help her?' Luz thought as worry washed over her face.
"Hey, Amity are you okay?" Luz asked her as Amity rubbed her eye a bit.
"Yeah, just a little tired. I couldn't sleep last night." Amity said while clenching her hand against her locker. "Something....personal came about my past and I've been trying to figure it out."
'So that's what it is.' Luz thought and was about to ask how she could help.
But before Luz could ask what was wrong, she was pushed aside by a familiar 3 eyed student of the Potions track, the mean girl, Boscha. The girl chuckled as Luz rubbed her shoulder from the shove before putting an arm around Amity, acting like her friend even though they weren't as close as Luz and Amity.
"Couldn't help but overhear you, Amity, and if you want my advice, don't worry about it." Boscha said with a wave of the hand away. "If it's not important, then it's not worth remembering. That's probably why you forgot it in the first place."
This was a mistake on the triclops part, every memory is important, forgotten or not! And Amity was in no mood to deal with such nonsense, being fueled by a frustration from her lack of knowing her past and a full night of no sleep. In a fit of mistaken rage, Amity jerked Boscha off her shoulder and punched her left eye, causing her to fall to the ground as Luz gasped in shock from the sudden punch.
'What the what?! Since when is Amity violent?!' Luz thought in shock as other students in the hall were just as shocked and stopped to watch the scene before them.
Boscha, still on the ground and beginning to feel the pain of her left eye blackening, was surprised by Amity's sudden punch and asked her in pain.
"What the....what was that for?!" she shouted as she held her eye in pain.
"Don't EVER say anything about my past when you don't even know it!" Amity said to with an angry face.
"What? You're made because I talked about your past? What's so bad about it?" Boscha asked as she got up from the floor but Amity just stomped on her foot, making her recoil in pain again.
"Not that it's any of your business but, I found out my siblings are keeping something about my past from me and I for one want to remember it. Not forget it." Amity told her with a angry and stern face.
"That's it? That's your problem!? Who even cares about their past?! I know a lot of people who would prefer to forget it!" Boscha said as she put her foot back in the ground. "Is that why your acting like a loser?! Just get over it!"
This response only made the unclear minded Amity angrier as she threw another punch to Boscha stomach, making her groan in pain, but she didn't stay down this time as she kicked Amity in the knee, making her fall to the ground, before Boscha kicked her in the nose to make her fall on her back.
"Not so good when you're the one hit, does it?!" Boscha screamed down to Amity, who got up and charged at Boscha again.
As the two "friends" fought in the hall and a crowd began to gather and chant "fight" over and over, Luz backed away and was in shock at how crazy this had become from a talk about people's past to a full blown fight.
'What the heck is going on right now?!' Luz thought as Willow and Gus came running towards her.
"Luz, what's going on?" Willow asked before Gus pointed to the center of the crowd.
"Look!" Gus said as he and Willow saw Boscha slam Amity's back into the lockers before getting a headbutt into the third eye from Amity.
As the fight continued, Edric and Emira were coming from around the corner from their last class and saw the crowd and all the commotion it was causing.
"A fight? Well this never happened before." Edric said to his twin as they smiled at the thought of trouble delaying classes.
"Let's check it out, I beat it's getting good." Emira said as they rushed to the crowd but as came through and we able to see who was fighting, the twins' interest became shock.
"Is that Mittens?!" they exclaimed as they saw their good little sister holding a triclops by the neck and punching her in the gut repeatedly. "What the heck is she doing?!?!"
This caused them to panic, worried that they might've let something slip last night and avoiding her this morning to prevent the topic from coming up might've made Amity be like this. They continued to think worried thought as Boscha got out of the neck hold and punched Amity in the face twice before Amity ducked under the third punch and gave the triclops a strong uppercut that sent her in the floor and sliding to the edge of the crowd, right in front of an angry looking Principal Bump. The reveal of the principal caused everyone in the crowd to gasp in shock and fear, mumbling about when or how he got here, as Amity got scared and Boscha slowly got up while holding her face in pain.
"What is meaning of all this commotion?! I come for a nice stroll down the hall and find two students in fisticuffs!" Bump said before looking around to the crowd of students "Before anyone is allowed to disperse, I want to know who started this fight right now!"
No one had the courage to speak up and rat out the fight, due to fear of being judged by their peers but not everyone was afraid of it.
"It was Amity, Principal Bump! She flipped out on me for just having a conversation with her." Boscha said as she got up from the ground with two black eyes (left and middle), a swollen cheek, and a torn right sleeve. "I didn't even know it was a touchy subject and instead of asking to change it, she just flips out and assaulted me!"
"Is this true, Ms. Blight? Did you assault a student for accidentally talking about a sensitive subject with you?" he asked Amity as he crossed his arms, barring down on her.
"I-Well- Yes but sir, I-" Amity tried to explain before Princapal Bump held up a hand to silence her.
"That is more than enough, Ms. Blight. I expected more from you but this, this is disappointing behavior. For whatever reason for this skirmish, you started it and you will receive the proper punishment." Bump said before looking down to Boscha. "Ms. Boscha, you were not the cause, so your punishment will not be severe. Report to the nurse's office for your injuries."
"Yes, Principal Bump." Boscha said as she went the opposite way, the crowd parting to let her through.
"As for you, Ms. Blight, until you get rid of this new and destructive behavior, you are hereby suspended from Hexside for the next 2 weeks." Principal Bump said as he looked up to luckily see Amity's older siblings, Edric and Emira, in the crowd. "Edric, Emira, since you two are so luckily in the crowd, you two are excuse from the rest of your class to escort your little sister home and inform your parents of this."
"Ye-Yes, Pricipal Bump!" they stuttered as they pushed through the crowd towards their little sister.
"Now, the rest of you disperse! Your classes will not be excused!" he ordered the crowding students before they quickly rushed away to their classes.
One of the one lagging behind the others was Luz as she was still shocked after what happened with Amity and couldn't believe it happened at all!
'Eda, you are not going to believe this when I get home.' Luz thought as she looked back to Amity, seeing her sad, embarrassed, and angry from this turn of events.
After getting all of her things and leaving the school, the walk back to Blight Manor was sort of silent and heavy between the siblings as none of them had said anything after they left the school. It was heavy for several minutes until Emira sighed and broken.
"Hey, Mittens, are you....okay? You look pretty banged up from the fight." Emira said to Amity as she saw a bloody, bruised nose, ripped sleeves and cloak, and a cut on her lip with bruises all over her face.
Amity didn't say anything as she kept her gaze to the ground, finding the dirt crunched under her feet more interesting.
"Mittens?" Edric asked but Amity still didn't say anything. "Mittens, just talk to-"
"I don't wanna talk about it!" Amity firmly said as she walked ahead of them a bit.
This caused Edric and Emira to be concerned about her as they walked to catch up with her, but they couldn't since she walked so fast. They didn't even get to talk to her when they got home as Amity rushed to her room and locked the door behind her. Sitting on her bed, Amity thought back to the source of why she went ballistic at school, this secret about her past they refuse to tell her. Until she got some answers, this was just going to keep interfering with her life! School, her training with Lilith, her relationship with Luz, everything!
"I need answers, I need the answers to my past and why everyone is so secret about it." Amity said as she looked to her hands, closing them into fists. "I'm not going to stop looking until I find them, no matter what."
