Lily's POV~
Today is the day Hope officially comes back to school. I was helping her take two boxes of her stiff that's in my room and move it into hers. As we were walking there, Josie glances at us before basically running the other way. Seeing this, I sigh. "Don't worry. It's not just you. She's been avoiding me like the plague since Simu-Landon showed up." I say, glancing at Hope.
When we walk into Hope's room. We both freeze. "Uh... Hello?" Hope says, wondering if there was a person in here. Suddenly, Alyssa fucking Chang walks out from behind a changing wall. "Oh. It's just you two." "Alyssa? What's... All, of this?" Hope asks while looking around the room. "Oh I moved in while you were, forgotten. Or whatever. Your sides over there."
"How the fuck did you move in over the summer Alyssa? I put like 12 different spells on this room, including blood magic to keep prying little fingers away from here! You decided to spend all summer breaking them? Did you really have nothing better to do?" I almost yell at her, and she just gives me a blank look before completely ignoring what I said. "As I said, your side is over there." "I usually have a single." Hope responds as Alyssa slowing walks to the door. "That's what I had. Until this exact moment... I go to bed at 10, so no late-night visitors, including your serial killer girlfriend-"
"What the fuck did you just say?" I say in a venomous voice and start walking over to her only for Hope to grab my shoulder. "And I don't want ants, so no eating in the room." with that she makes her way to the door, as I'm about to speed over to her, I hear Hope set down the box she's carrying and grab me by my waist to keep me still.
Hope forces me to turn around in her arms and she looks at my eyes before raising an eyebrow. "Okay, after everything is settled, we should tests on you because your eyes are gold, and they haven't done that in a while and it's only when you're angry. But for right now, I need you to breathe." I do as she says, and by the look on her face, I can tell my eyes are back to normal.
Getting out of her grasp, I put my hands out and feel the magic around the room. Sighing in relief, I speak, "Thank god. That wench did undo all the spells." "What?" Hope asks, and instead of answering her, I mutter a spell and all the things that were cloaked appear. "I cloaked all the super important stuff. Your school records, some of your books, but most importantly, your paintings." I tell her before picking up the painting that her dad made her as a baby and the one they did together. This brings a giant smile to Hope's face. "Have I ever told you I loved you?" she asks, and then I smile sweetly before responding, "No. You haven't. I think you should say it right now." I tell her, reporting her words from a few days ago.
"I love you, Lily." I love you too. Now, get settled, and I will see you later." I tell her, kissing her cheek before leaving her be.

"Call if you need backup?" I hear Hope say as I round the corner, and see her speaking to Landon and Sebastian. "I can assure you I will be on my best behavior. Even a sidekick can handle me." Sebastian tells her and I smile as I make my presence known. "Good. Because personally, I don't want the Muppet King, near my girlfriend who his subconscious professed his undying love for. Repeatedly. In front of my face." once I say this, I start walking away again, only for Hope to catch up to me.
"Hey, what's wrong? You've been a bit testier today than normal." Hope asks me in a caring voice. "Honestly, I don't know. It's like my body is telling me something bad is going to happen, and I don't know what it is or when it's going to happen but I guess it's making me paranoid." I tell her, only half being honest. "Plus, I mean, Landon always seeming to be around you isn't very comforting. And I know that you love me and I'm not worried about that, it's just... I don't know, I don't know how to describe it, it just makes me uncomfortable and angry. Which is the whole reason I've been trying to avoid him so I can't avoid wanting to remove his head from his shoulders." After saying all that, I take a breath of frustration. "Look, babe, I'll uh... I'll see you later, right now there's something I have to do." With that, I walk away from her, remembering something important.
