It was a whole new spectrum of heartthrobs after Amity confessed she still LOVED me. I stood awake after she fell asleep and I nearly flunked my exam, but dealing with Boscha was cake.
She did this weird reaction where she'd stomp to a halt, get glossy eyed then settle and listen. Boscha is.. unique in a good way. She has this conversation anxiety where.. let's put it to if her and Amity broke up- she'd have the inability to say it but her body mannerism says it for her, and when the topic is pointed out she'll cry when there's no reason to cry. Another example is how she can't speak about certain topics because unless it's happening she'll cringe and get angry at you if you point out she is.Her father used to say she was mentally unstable and she doesn't like the idea, but she thinks it's a possibility.
Her mom however says she has aspergers syndrome which is a milder case of autism, that Boscha agrees to in full. Though she prefers it to be called 'her autism' because she can't keep a straight face to the name.Nobody likes Boscha's dad- we LOVE her stepmom Clarisse however. Boscha's dad was an abusive, money obsessed dickwad that put her through the wrong kinds of therapy, which lead to anti-psychotics she didn't need- they're what made Boscha a dick from age 8-12.
Her mom was the one to take her to an autism specialist and that's where we became friends. For the first half year Amity didn't trust her but then Boscha asked her out, it didn't last long.. Boscha had accidentally lead Skara on, cheated on Amity. Then a month into our first year of highschool I asked her out.I'm pretty sure you can guess the rest.
"You know.. I honestly appreciate that you didn't shut me out Luz." She says through a gummy worm she'd snagged, I raise an eyebrow "for.. your nose." She re-words slowly.
I tilt my head back and smile at Amity when she hugs me from behind and heads to her dorm, she's probably purposely doing this so we can connect more. "I just understand you a lot more than you expect.. Boscha I was your first true friend, I helped you settle down when your father was being a douche. You clung to me like that koala poster in your therapy sessions."She pauses and sits cross legged on the couch, "I was honestly surprised you asked out Amity, not me. But I understand, I'm not wife material ~" I make the end a teasing remark, she blushes softly. " I was thinking about it but, I didn't see the progress we could take if we did date. When I saw Amity I could visualize myself hugging her and doing anything I could to make her happy. With you.."
She looks down and grabs her ankles " you already filled in so many blanks I just didn't see myself being able to make you.. happy. Because you already did so much."
She scoots up to me and rests her cheek on my shoulder, her expression radiating sadness. "You are my best friend, Luz. I know I'm not making the right decisions but, I'll fix things."
I feel my eyes widen, my body surprised by her words. " I know you will.. just. Try not to hurt anyone badly. Words are like knives and I've given you a few I regret." I stand and sigh, taking Boscha's hand I pull her up. "Let's hang out today. Go to the mall, buy things we'll eventually regret and fill ourselves on unnecessary calories."Her blue eyes seem to sparkle, playfully shoving her to her room I smile "go get some street clothes on."
Walking into my room I replace my hoodie with a grey tshirt. Something shimmers on my arms, I remember the illusion spell I set on them. Pulling the two year old spell off I smile at the opaque black tattoos of each and every good singlular and combination glyph I know.
Full sleeves of the magic I'd committed to after my body was proved to have too liitle magic. I forgot I even got these on my eighteenth birthday, they work too! But they don't damage my skin like they use the paper. The glyphs feed off the minimal magic I do posess.Walking out of my room I look up at Boscha, she studies my arms with interest "got them on my eighteen birthday.. I had to hide them in DC because wild magics are looked down upon."
She lifts up the hem of her shirt to show the fire glyph "dude everyone got a glyph when you left, so fuck DC." I pause, she seems to notice it "Gus got your invisibility glyph on his shoulder because of his love for illusions, Willow obviously got plant glyph, Hunter has your teleportation glyph to tie with his magical powers, Vee.. she got a combination glyph that makes.. snow? She loves winter."
Sitting at the table she sits and pauses, trying her best to remember. "Your mom, Camilla got light so she could always remember your name and first spell, Eda got an invisibility glyph to shoplift the fairgrounds, but so no one could see her cry when she missed her little hija.."
