The two older teens proceeded to enter the room, closing the door behind them to avoid any suspicion from the other elites roaming around the campus. 

With Luz still beside them, she quickly diverted her attention now into Amity Blight after she responded to the two unknown elites. 

Luz recalled their names. "Edric, Emira." Amity once yelled out earlier. Judging by the similar hair colors the 3 has, she suspected they were all somehow related to each other

But as for Amity, her expression suddenly changed, showing anger to both her fellow elites. 

"What are you two doing here? The elite council already called a meeting minutes ago!" Amity yelled, walking towards the two. 

The male teen laughed, patting Amity's hair. "Oh, would you relax, Mittens? Mom said to stop forgetting to bring your lunch." He handed her a bunny-shaped bag. 

Amity silently growled and snatched the bag from him, hiding it behind her back after to hide it from the other students.

His companion followed. "And we could ask you that same thing, Amity. I'm actually quite surprised to see you here with these-" She paused, looking at the rest of the members. "these, underdogs. That's pretty not unlike you. Are they your friends?" 

"Awh, is it because your only friend is not with you anymore? What was her name again? You know, the one with the pink hair." 

"I think her name is Boschy. Nah, Boscha?" Edric replied.

"No, they are not." Amity was quick to respond. "I am only here because some idiot broke the whole club, and I bet you already knew who it is-" Amity suddenly stuttered at the last part

The cause was when she glanced at Luz in the distance, she knew Amity was definitely referring to her about the incident that occurred yesterday.

Her expression changed, turning into a saddened one. After Amity's response, Luz immediately looked down out of guilt.

"I-I mean-" She tried to continue, stuttering in some parts. 

"Yes, we know who it is." Her friend giggled before turning around to face the freshman in the distance. "It was you, huh?" 

Luz's eyes widened at the question. She slowly lifted her head to face the one who asked. She took a few steps forward, hiding her nervousness from showing. 

"Y-yes, it was me." 

With that being said, the two teens smiled and approached the freshman which made Amity's eyes go wide from the sighting. 

She suddenly became defensive. As soon as the two started to walk up to Luz, Amity quickly placed down her lunch bag and followed the older teen. 

Grabbing her by the wrist, Amity gave Emira a slightly disturbed look. "What are you doing?" She nervously asked.

"Relax, we're just gonna talk with your friend." 

The elite gritted her teeth. "I told you, she's not my friend." 

Emira smirked. "Then why are you being defensive now that we're after her? Also, you should smile more, don't want others to think you're not a fitting model for an elite." She hinted at the other members watching behind them.

The older teen pulled her hand away and joined her friend beside Luz, leaving Amity standing in rage in the middle of the room. 

As much as Amity wanted to interfere with whatever business with Edric and Emira has with Luz, she didn't have the guts to even walk up to them. 

"Stay calm, you're an elite, I couldn't just save Luz with those idiots watching." The aquamarine-haired girl told herself.  

Now that the two elites surrounded the freshman, Luz gathered all her courage to somehow face them with a clear expression. 

"You Luz, Luz Noceda?" Edric asked after crossing his arms to his chest

"Yeah, and you two are?" 

"Oh sorry, allow us to formally introduce ourselves." He started after standing beside his companion. "We're Edric and Emira Blight, first and second elites for the illusion club and Mitten's cool older siblings. Nice to meet you, cutie." 

"You didn't even let me speak-" Emira stared at her brother. " Anyways, what he said. We're the Blight Twins and Amity is our younger sister." 

Luz's eyes widened, showing slight fear for the two. "E-Elites? In the Illusion club? You're working for the emperor club right?" 

"Yes and no. Look, Luz. We know all about the "you destroying the whole dance club" situation but hey, don't worry! We're not gonna tell the other elite's your location." 

"Yeah, me and Ed, are way cooler than Amity." Emira placed her hand around Luz before giving Amity a teasing look. 

Luz finally chuckled, releasing the fear she had between the two. "I can see that." She joined in the laughter. 

At that moment, Amity's cheeks turned red, not because of Luz this time, it was because of the anger she was hiding towards her siblings.

"So, Edric, Emira, what brings you here to our secret hideout? And how did you even know Mittens- I mean, Amity was in here with us?"

The both of them shrugged. "I don't know, we have our ways I guess. But enough about that, the reason why we're in here is to give Mittens her lunch and well..." Edric paused and waited for Emira to continue. 

"For you, of course!" 

Confused, Luz arched an eyebrow at them and waited for their next reply.   "M-me? Why? Oh, is it because all Elites are now targeting me, is this about that?" 

"Yeah, it's about the elites, but not with their issue with you. They actually arranged a meeting later for all second elites and their assistants. And since Amity doesn't have one, they decided that the third standing elite will go with her." 

"And that's you, cutie." Emira winked. 

The freshman's cheeks redden at the sight, making her heart slightly beat faster. Luz didn't know if it was the fact that a girl winked at her, or if the older teen thought she was cool. 

Unable to answer, Luz instead giggled softly and quickly look away from Emira. And of course, Amity caught all of this. 

Seconds later, Luz finally spoke up. "But I'm only a third elite, from what I heard they don't have that much power compared to the first and second."

"Maybe. But don't worry, this meeting is made for the second elites, not you nor the other third elites and their assistants. Let's just hope they won't interrogate you just yet for destroying Boschy's-

"It's Boscha." 

"Right, destroying Boscha's club." 

Luz gulped and turned to her crewmates. "What time is the meeting?" 

"After school, don't worry you still have plenty of time to continue... whatever you guys are doing here." 

The freshman sighed of relief. "Oh thank Titans, that means we still have time to come up with a plan." 

"Plan? Pff, good luck. As for as I know, that Boscha chick is the only kid who knows how to plan a whole flawless dance routine." Edric scoffed. "Heck, if I was in this club last year, I should have told that kid who's boss- ACK!" 

Emira jumps in and pushed her brother away to have Luz all by herself. "Nonsense,  don't listen to him. If only I were the one who gets in the last year, then I'm already this club's elite, and not Boscha cause that's how good of a dancer I am-" 

"Lies!" Edric ran back to his position and placed his arm on Emira's shoulder, attempting to look cool in front of the freshman. 

"Trust me, Luz, she sucks. It's clear that I got my talents from both our parents!" He flexes his arms. 

"No way in hell you don't, it's me!" 

"I'm older than you and that means I'm better in any way!"

Emira threw an empty plastic bottle at him. "Well, I would like to see you try ballet! And no you don't, we're twins!" 

As the two continued the heated argument, Amity took the chance to slowly walk closer to Luz and pulling her away from her siblings. 

"Hey?" Luz gasped at the feeling when Amity grabbed her hand. "Your siblings seem cool." 

"Cool? What's so cool about them?" She started and glared at the two before returning to Luz. "Anyways, listen. Those two are nothing but bad influences! They always wanted to be the rebels against the elite system." 

"Rebels?"

Amity nodded. "Yeah, they don't follow the rules, they don't attend their scheduled meetings, and they don't even act like an elite to everyone. Well, they do all those stuff whenever there are other elites near them cause they don't want to get caught."

"Rebel, huh." Luz thought about it, ignoring all Amity's warnings about her two older siblings. 

"Luz!" Amity called Luz back into her senses again. "Are you even listening to me?" 

Luz warmly smiled, making Amity's cheeks slightly turn red. "Huh? Yeah, of course."

Not long after, the argument between the Blight twins finished and Edric was left kneeling, in tears.

"I was born 2 minutes earlier than you, you bully." Edric sobbed in a broken tone in his voice. "You're mean!"

"Oh, I'll show you!" Emira laughed before turning back to Luz. "Luz, let me in the club and I'll show you who's better at dancing." 

Luz's eyes quickly widened in surprise. "R-really? You want to join our club?" 

But before Luz could even reply, Edric immediately stood up and ran up beside her. "No, pick me! The dance club already made a mistake declining my offer last year, I won't let that mistake happen again!"

"Wait." The freshman gasped. "You tried to audition here last year? why were you declined?" 

Emira placed her arm around the teen. 'Ah well, you see, me and Ed tried to audition here last year but Mittens and that jerk friend of hers declined us because she admitted some freshman with glasses and her friend instead. 

"Yeah, we didn't really see what they looked like but I heard Boscha had the hots for one of them and that's why she quickly chose them over us. What an idiot." 

"Girl with glasses?" Luz asked, turning around to face her crewmates in the distance. 

And there she saw her friends talking to each other, but according to what Emira said, the description somehow fitted Willow and Augustus. 

"Boscha likes Willow? Pft, I doubt it."  She just ignored it and moved on with Edric's proposal.

With Edric now in front after pushing away her sister, he pulled out his wallet and took out a small picture, showing it to Luz afterward. 

There they saw the Blight twins holding up a trophy alongside another woman with the same color as them. Based on the photo, Luz could immediately identify that this was taken in a high-class dance competition when Edric and Emira were still in middle school.

"See? I won first place back at our middle school competition while Emira only got a participation award-" 

"You idiot!" Emira laughed, punching his brother's arm. "We were on the same team, doofus. Of course, we both got that trophy!" 

"And here we go again." Amity facepalmed herself. "We gotta break them apart before it gets worse, trust me." She signaled Luz. 

The freshman nodded and faced the twins, who were now threatening each other with chairs and plastic bottles for their own defense. 

"Come on, Luz! Choose me, let me in the club!" 

Amity's eyes widened. "What? No! There was a reason why Boscha and I declined your offer, plus, you two don't even take anything seriously!" 

"Aw, what's wrong Mittens? Don't you want your siblings to be with you? Or better yet, it will be so awesome if your big sister is here to assist you." 

"Correction, it will be so cool if your big brother is here to help your friends win that competition?" 

As the twins continued influencing Amity, Luz finally made up her mind and spoke up, making Ed and Em stop talking and face her. 

The freshman firstly cleared her throat as she glared at the two older elites in front of her. The two waited for a response, showing a slight sign of nervousness. 

"Sure." Luz calmly answered with a bright smile. 

The twins looked at each other confused before turning back to Luz. "Huh? What do you mean, who's in?" 

"Of course it's me!" Emire stepped up and posed. "Luz clearly sees true skills when she first glanced at me, thanks a lot, cutie." 

Once again, Luz blushed at the mentioned word but she immediately denies Emira's thought. And yet, Edric interrupted. 

"No way, Luz knows better than this, right, cutie?" he copied her sister's mentioned term. 

With this, Luz quickly turned around and covered her blushing face with both her hands. "Goddammit, Blights! I gotta keep cool, they think I'm cool and I can't mess this up." 

She then turned around again and forced out a smile to show the two before answering. "Well, I can't admit you without Amity's permission since I'm only a third elite, but, It would be an honor if you two join our team!" 

Edric arched an eyebrow at her. "Us, two? How many positions are still vacant?" 

"You two are just in time! We still need two members and you guys are exactly what we need to win the qualifying matches next week!"

Emira smiled. "Well, why didn't you say so, cutie. That would be great!" She added before running towards Amity and pulling her into a tight hug. "Plus, this will be a great way to bond with our cute little sister some more!" 

Edric ran from behind and joined in, basically squishing Amity. "Yey! More time with Mittens!" 

Amity growled and pushed her two siblings away, fixing her hair after. "Ed, Em, not now! You're embarrassing me." 

They giggled, ignoring their sister of course. But when Emira shifted her gaze to the other members in the distance, her cheeks suddenly turn red when she saw something or someone specific. 

"Hm, I knew this year was gonna be fun. I'm glad I finally found you, stranger.."
