Luz had been a student of Hexside for just over a week now, and Principal Bump had just announced that year's Grom over the loudspeaker.

"What's Grom?" Luz had asked Gus and Willow over lunch.

"Grom is where witches at Hexside can ask out other witches and dance together under the stars," Willow swooned.

"Yeah, and they can show off their dance moves and- Ooh, they can hang out and drink punch and chat with their friends!" Gus chimed in.

"It sounds a lot like a Prom or a school dance from my world."

"A prom, huh?" Gus muttered tentatively, emphasizing the p. "I'm gonna wow the Human Appreciation Society with this information!" Gus' eyes lit up with joy.

"So, Gus, who are you going to ask?"

"Hmm. I never really thought about that. Probably nobody. How about you?"

Luz tuned them out for favor of her own thoughts. Who am I going to ask to Grom?

She was just coming up with an idea when her thoughts were interrupted by a certain fair-skinned witch with light green hair and dark auburn roots, who conveniently walked by their table at that exact moment, drawing Luz's eyes from her friends to Amity. Luz watched as she sat down with Boscha and her posse a few tables over, before being interrupted again by her name's mention in the present conversation.

Gus wiggled his eyebrows after saying something unintelligible, mentioning Luz's name.

"I'll probably regret this, but can you repeat that?" Luz slowly drew her eyes back to Gus and away from Amity.

"I said, you should ask her out."

"Her? Who's her? Oh, Amity? Pssh, no! Amity? Pfft, no, I don't like Amity," Luz fibbed as blood rose to her cheeks, tinging them with pink.

"Really?" Willow asked, her eyebrows raised.

"I do not," Luz repeated, more insistent this time, even as her blushing cheeks betrayed her true emotions.

"Where's the Luz I'm friends with who is brave and fearless? Some might even call her reckless?" Gus asked. "You should ask her when you two are sneaking off and doing whatever the heck you two do after school at the library."

Luz mock-gasped. "I have no idea what you are referring to."

Gus shook his head at her disapprovingly as the alarm screeched, ringing in the end of lunch. Luz smirked and bounded out of the cafeteria, deep in thought. Her thoughts were again shaken by Amity, albeit this time from Luz ramming the teal-haired witch. "Oh no, I'm so sorry!" Luz exclaimed, before realizing who she had struck.

"Oh, uh, hey, Amity!" Luz got back up, only to slip on a book and fall back to the ground. "Hello!"

Amity looked down at her, slightly amused. "Hi, Luz." She bent down and helped pull Luz up. "So, are we still on for Wednesday?" Luz asked.

"Of course we're still on, why wouldn't we be?"

Luz blushed. "Alright, see you then!" Amity began to walk away.

As Amity merged with the flowing crowds, leaving Luz in place, Willow stepped in front of her. "What was that about not liking Amity?" Luz groaned. "I repeat, I do not like her!" "Really?" Luz sighed. "Fine, Willow, I may have the smallest of crushes on Amity Blight, okay?" Luz gestured with her fingers how small it was. "So what?" Willow smiled. "Sooo, go ask her out, silly!" Luz nodded in agreement, although she had no idea how to ask.
