[Y/n pov]

It was such a beautiful morning, a nice cool morning breeze, the perfect morning to just wake up and enjoy a nice warm breakfast. Yet I had to wake up early to come back to this damn place to clean up Luz's mistake!

Y/n: "I hope Eda doesn't kill Luz by cooking breakfast. Oh well, maybe this will teach her not to cause problems."

I thought as I walked through the front doors to see Bump standing there waiting with a cup of coffee. Upon seeing me he gave a small friendly smile and walked over to me.

Principal Bump: Good morning, glad you could make it in. Hope you're well rested, you all have a lot of work ahead of you.

Y/n: ¿De qué estás hablando? (What are you talking about?)

I asked giving a confused look as we walked towards the cafeteria where I see three familiar faces. Em was sitting at a table watching a video, Ed was trying to balance a tray on his nose, and Park was messing with a seed.

Park: Well well well, took your sweet time huh human? The rest of us got here early, you're nearly five minutes late.

Em: Give him a break, he at least showed up. Unlike Ed who I literally had to drag out of bed.

Ed just groans probably recalling the events of his morning.

Park: I don't think so, Blight. We wouldn't be here if he didn't cause so much damage.

Em: It was actually both our sisters, Mittens and Willow.

The two witches argued before Bump cleared his throat. This caused all three witches to look his way.

Principal Bump: Now then, you all have till the end of the day to clean up. Hope you all enjoy your time together, and make sure to take occasional breaks.

Bump said drawing a circle in the air causing a broom to land in my hand, Em got a mop, and a bucket of water to hit Ed in the head.

Principal Bump: Oh and be sure to get the locker rooms too. I heard two mischievous students decided to set up a bunch of abomination goo bombs to go off, when our Grudgby teams were getting ready.

As Bump said this both Blights seemed to get embarrassed, I sighed in response and nod to the principal.

Y/n: Right, we'll get it done, I'll handle making lunch when it comes time for it. Adiós cabeza de diablillo. (Goodbye imp head.)

Bump nodded and walked off, I just look at my "cleaning crew". To say it was gonna be a hell of a day was probably the nicer way of describing it.

Y/n: Welp this is gonna be a long day. Alright lets split into teams of two and handle this disaster.

Em: Dibs on going with the human!

Em said as she suddenly appeared at my side, only to have a root drag her over to Park's side. Simultaneously another root pushed Ed over to me, who seemed rather confused.

Park: Nope, you and I still need to have a chat Blight, the ugly twin can go with the human.

Ed: Hey!

Soon they all began arguing to the point I couldn't make out any words. It was really annoying.

Y/n: Guys? Hey guys?

Finally after a minute or so of trying to get their attention, peacefully mind you, I snapped.

Y/n: ¡SILENCIO, CABRONES DE BRUJAS! (SILENCE, YOU BASTARD WITCHES!)

That did the trick as all three went quiet, although they looked at me like I grew a second head. I took a deep breath, and let my anger die down, before addressing the trio.

Y/n: Thank you, now I don't care who I work with, but we need to get this done before it gets too dark. Doubt any of your parents would be happy if you're home too late. So here's how it'll go, Ed and I will handle the second floor. Em and Park you two handle the first floor and then we'll handle the locker rooms and restrooms accordingly. Around lunch, we'll take a break and eat. Then the third floor we'll handle together, sound good?

Ed: Great plan, but one tiny problem, no one brought lunch.

Park: Yeah, I hate to admit it, but he's right. No one brought lunch, so how do you plan on us eating anything?

Y/n: I'll handle that, if I can cook for five people, I can cook for four.

The room goes quiet, one could literally drop a pin and it would echo. That was before Em grabbed my shoulders, and yells out in shock.

Em: YOU CAN COOK!?

Y/n: Um ... yeah? I wouldn't have said that if I couldn't.

Em seemed in her head for a moment, slowly letting go of me. Once I was free, I just decide to drag Ed off and start cleaning. As we got to the stairs I decided to ask a question.

Y/n: The heck is up with your sister? It's like she suddenly shutdown.

Ed: We have abominations making food, mostly at home, unfortunately that means we get goo in our food often. So to hear that someone we know, someone that we are friends with, knows how to cook? It's ... well, kinda a big deal.

Y/n: Why don't you two just learn how to cook? I mean if it's that big of a problem, then cooking your own food is a solution.

Ed: We tried once ... lets just say it's just easier to let the abominations cook.

Ed explains as we head up to the second floor, I just nodded as I've seen how those abominations can be around food. Yeah there's a good chunk of goo in them sometimes ... but they can cook without getting hurt. Once up there we began working on cleaning up, Ed using magic while I handle what I can via hard work and manual labor.

*2 hours later*

It wasn't easy but it was pretty fun once Ed and I started making it a contest. Unfortunately magic gave him an unfair advantage, although I kinda set myself up for failure. In hindsight I should've set a rule of no magic.

Y/n: Note made, don't make bets that allow magic to be used. Seeing as how it creates an unfair advantage.

I say glaring back at Ed, who just has a smug look on his face.

Ed: That was your fault, you should have known better than to challenge a witch without setting a handicap, but the extra snails don't hurt either.

Ed said as he counted the 20 snails he won off our contest, to which I just rolled my eyes. After he pocketed them we went down to help with the locker rooms, yet as I walked towards one of the locker rooms, only to end up walking face first into an invisible wall.

Y/n: Gah! What the hell!? Is that a freakin invisible wall!? Why does that exist in reality!? I thought that was only in videogames! 

Ed: Man you sure are new, the school has a enchantment on the locker rooms. Only girls can enter that one, and only guys can enter the boy's locker room.

Y/n: Okay as painful as that is, that's a smart move on the school's part. Though could they put some signs up or something?

Ed: They did, but I guess you can't read our language.

He says pointing to the symbols above the door. I just rolled my eyes and turned to him.

Y/n: Nooooo, what makes ya say that ya green haired bastard?

Ed just chuckles as I walk over to him. We then head towards the boy's locker room, but as we're entering, I see someone besides Em walking into the girl's locker room. It definitely wasn't Em, but it wasn't Park either ... or at least I think it wasn't. Last I checked we were the only four people in the school. Those being Ed, Em, Park, and myself, so who was that? I turned to Ed with a rather confused look.

Y/n: Hey, no one else is here besides us four right?

Ed: Huh, well yeah, no one should be here. At least not besides us four, why?

Y/n: Hmmmm ... no reason, don't worry about it.

Ed gave me a confused look before we entered, and I gain a surprised look over how much abomination goo there is. Literally from the ceiling to the floor, and even the lockers, were coated in the purplish goo.

Y/n: "An I thought Luz and I were a dangerous pranking duo." Note made, never get into a prank war with you or Em. Seriously ... this is both impressive, and very concerning. 

As I say that Ed just started laughing, nearly falling over because of it. Once he calmed down, he made a magic circle to summon the cleaning supplies.

Ed: Well let's get it over with, oh be careful. That stuff doesn't come out easily if it gets in your hair or on clothing. I mean that quite literally, since you can't do abomination magic.

Y/n: Thanks for the warning.

*2 more hours later*

Ed and I managed to finally get all the goo, and clean ourselves up enough to go back to the cafeteria. To say we were tired and ready to just end the day was an understatement. If I didn't need to cook, I probably would sit down and not move for the next few hours.

Y/n: Alright now you wait for the other two and I'll get started on lunch.

Ed: Sounds good to me, I wouldn't mind just doing that for the rest of the day.

Y/n: Heh, same man, catch a few z's for me while you're at it.

I say sharing a tired chuckle with him. After that I went to the kitchen to start cooking. Might be a bit before the other two get here, so I have plenty of time to cook. Once in the kitchen I wash my hands and look at the ingredients.

Y/n: "Let's see ... not much to really work with, but I can manage. Just need to gather the rest of the necessary items and I can get started. Probably have the rest in the main fridge and freezer."

[3rd pov]

*1 hour more*

Ed had been sitting at one of the tables he practices a few illusion spells just to brush up on his skills for the last half hour. As he lets out a bored sigh before the cafeteria doors burst open revealing Park looking pissed and Em looking a tad embarrassed. Ed dismissed his illusions and sat up straight as the two approached where he sat.

Em: I already said I was sorry. How much longer are you going to ignore me? Please just talk to me.

Park: Shut up Blight, that never happened understand?

Em: Bu-

Park: IT NEVER HAPPENED! DO YOU OR DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND!?

Park yelled only to walk over to the table Ed is at and sits down. Ed looked between the two, trying to hide his uneasiness. It was never a good time to be near them when they were like this. Normally he would remain silent, but out of curiosity he opened his mouth.

Ed: So ... I guess you two had a fun time?

Park: Up until your sister decided to poof my jacket to somewhere else on the first floor.

Park says in a rather annoyed tone before Em finally had enough and stomps her foot in annoyance, while also glaring at the older Park sibling. It's obvious she has had it with this situation and wants to resolve it, by any means necessary.

Em: Oh for the love of Titan I said I was sorry, I did it as a joke! I meant to poof it to the next class over onto the skeleton in there! I didn't think it would be be all the way on the other side of the school!

Ed: "Oof, okay that's bad, even I know not to touch the jacket."

Ed thought as he looks at his sister and the eldest Park sibling. He would intervene ... if he didn't value his life. Slowly he stood up and backed away from the two.

Ed: Look um I'm gonna go check on the food. That's cool with you two right?

Neither Park or Em said anything as Ed turns and runs to the kitchen. It took a bit until the two let out a sigh.

Em: Look you're one of the few friends Ed and I have, well the only one that tries to keep us out of trouble. I know my family has an issue with yours ... more so Mittens and mom, but you know I don't care about that. As far as I'm concerned, you and I never stopped being friends.

Park: ... I know, and that's why it's fun being around you both. You both have been my friends since I was young. I understand you didn't mean to poof my jacket like that ... even if you did it as a joke.

Em: So, we still friends?

Park: Yeah, we're still friends.

The two hugged it out, only to hear someone clearing their throat. The two turn their heads to see Y/n and Ed standing there with a few plates of food. Both males looked a little uncomfortable interrupting, more so Y/n as Ed looked cautious.

Y/n: We interrupting something here, or do you two need another 20 minutes?

Ed: If so me and him can eat all this, we don't mind leaving a few crumbs.

Ed said as Y/n just sighed and shook his head at the male witch's attempt at a joke.

Y/n: "No I can't, I can't even eat half this stuff. I'm pretty sure 90% of the ingredients in these could kill me, without at least one ingredient from my world to trick my body."

Y/n thought as the two other witches gave Ed a death glare. He just nervously chuckles a he moves to the table.

Ed: Then lets eat.

Ed and Y/n put the plates on the table and the other two joined them to eat the food, only Y/n didn't eat. Em glanced over at him with a curious look on her face.

[Y/n pov]

Em: Are you not going to eat? I mean you must be hungry after not just cleaning, but cooking all this too.

Y/n: Nah, I'm good, thanks for your concern Em. I had a sandwich while cooking, so don't worry about me, you three just enjoy.

Em just nods and cautiously digs into her food. Ed on the other hand is digging in without a second thought. Park was eating as well but seemed distant. All seemed quiet until Em grabbed the front of my shirt.

Y/n: Woah okay that wasn't expected. Um ... Em, are you okay?

Em: You are a gift from the Titan. Thank you.

She said before hugging me tightly, catching me off guard. 

Y/n: Huh?

I looked at her confused, all I did was make a few recipes I knew from my world using similar ingredients here. Sure it wasn't easy, especially without tasting the food like I usually do. Mainly to make sure everything used is complementing the dish. However I managed, and from all three of their reactions, I managed well enough to produce a good meal. Now my only problem is the green haired girl currently on me. She had a vice like grip on me, one that doesn't seem to be loosening in the slightest.

Y/n: Um, bro? A little help here? Dios mío, está lloranda. (Oh my god, she's crying.)

I said trying to get Ed to help me, as I felt Em starting to cry on my chest. This was starting to get all kinds of awkward for me. Park then looked over at me giving me a rather perplexed expression.

Park: So hey, what's that weird language you're using. I mean I've heard you use it a few times now, but ...

Ed: Yeah it's pretty weird, I can't understand a single word of it. Are you trying to cast some kind of human spell or something?

Y/n: ¿Que? Es español, ¿no tienes el español como idioma? (What? It's Spanish, don't you have Spanish as a language?)

I say only to realize I'm still speaking in Spanish, since I'm still getting questioned looks. I then clear my throat and rub the back of my neck in embarrassment.

Y/n: ... Sorry, it's called Spanish. It's one of many languages in the human world. Also, no it doesn't cast spells, although to the untrained, it does seem like that.

I explain as Ed just nods, probably not understanding in the slightest, before going back to his meal. Park on the other hand looks confused, and as for Em ... well. Lets just say Em got a little too close to my face.

Em: Can you teach me?

Y/n: hmmmm, maybe one day duendecillo verde. (green pixie.)

I say backing away from her, once she had let go, with a small smirk on my face. For some reason Em blushed at that, all while Park seemed ... jealous? Maybe I should teach Em some Spanish, just so she doesn't confuse a joke as a compliment.

Y/n: Look just eat up and I'll meet y'all on the third floor, I don't want to see you three until those plates are spotless. An I mean that food better be in your gut, not in the trash!

The others nod as I head out of the cafeteria and take the stairs to the third floor. Honestly this was a long day, I was ready to just finish and go home ... or at least Eda's place.

*2 hours later*

We finally finished cleaning the whole interior and we still had an hour left. We're just lounging around in one of the classrooms. Ed was laying on the table, Em was by the window, and Park was messing with that same seed again. I, on the other hand, was just reading a book I brought with me. Unfortunately it wasn't very good, this crappy sci-fi book just didn't grab me. To think a cartoon was based off this.

Ed: Well, we're done with everything and have an hour to spare ... what now?

Park: I could see how high I can throw you. Maybe break my last record.

Em: Please don't, last time you did that he ended up with bandages over his legs for a month. Mind you that was WITH the help of the healing coven.

Ed: Yeah let's avoid that, I got an earful from mom about letting you do that. Not exactly how I wanted to stay home.

The three witches shared a chuckle, showing just how well their bond was. I just smiled at this, before going back to what I was doing.

Y/n: "There's one in every family. ... Ya know what, I'm making a call."

I thought before closing the book, and putting it away before going to the principal's office. Hopefully to find some sort of phone. However as I look through the office I find little to nothing, well besides a folder with Eda's name on it. 

Y/n: "Huh ... thought it would be bigger, considering the stories Eda has told me."

I just close the drawer I was looking in, and stood up straight, not noticing the drawer was enchanted. Soon the others joined me in the office.

Em: What are you doing here in Bump's office? You could end up getting in some serious trouble.

Y/n: One, I don't care, I'm in trouble enough thanks to Luz. Two, I don't think he would mind, I'm just trying to find a phone of sorts.

This got confused looks from the group as I pulled out my phone.

Y/n: You use it to call people. If it's what we call a smart phone you can call, text, take pictures, get on the internet, social media and play games.

Park: Oh you mean a scroll or crow. Crows can't do all that, but you can call people. Scrolls are more like that smart phone you described.

Y/n: I guess? I plan to tell imp head that we're done. Maybe get him to let us go early.

Em: Imp head? That's kinda harsh considering principal Bump isn't that mean.

I look back at Em with a slight glare, while Park was trying not to laugh.

Y/n: He put me in detention, and I'm not even a damn student of this place.

Ed: Why not?

I looked over at Ed with a confused expression. He just had a hand on his chin like he was thinking.

Y/n: Huh? What are you on about Ed?

Ed: Why aren't you a student here, I mean sure you're human, but that doesn't mean you're useless. You seem smart enough to be one of the top students here, probably better than Mittens.

Y/n: It's a magic school Ed, I can't do magic. I carry a weapon and kick butts. I'd flunk out in a week tops.

I point out as he still seems to be thinking. Only for his sister to speak up, seems she got an idea.

Em: What about potions?

Park: Oh yeah, they rarely use spells in potions. It would be perfect for someone without magic.

Em: Besides doing things out of the normal, and getting different results is basically what they do. Don't you humans have something like that?

Em asks looking at me, I think for a moment before nodding. We did in fact have something similar, not to the same extent but similar enough.

Y/n: It's called chemistry in our world, although we can't drink what's made ... and expect to live.

I say getting a few laughs from the witch trio. As good of an idea as it sounds, there was still a problem. I was technically banned until I pay back the damages to the school. So I guess I'll need a second job to help pay it off. I doubt cleaning on a daily basis, or working for Eda, will allow me to pay back the money fast enough. I just shook my head before collecting my thoughts.

Y/n: Anyway let's just let ol bumpkin know we're done.

Em: Already told him.

Upon saying that Em holds up her scroll, and reveals she already let him know the full situation. I held back a smartass remark by just smirking. We got permission to leave, but Park had a different idea. A few minutes later we were on the Grudgby field. I was grouped with Ed again, while Park an Em were standing a bit away from us.

Y/n: ... So um what are we doing again?

Park: A little two on two Grudgby. You do know how to play, don't you human?

Park said smugly, knowing full well I only just learned about the sport's name the day prior. I gave a deadpanned look, essentially saying that I didn't. Em and Park smirked rather evilly, while Ed grew worried.

Ed: Oh we're screwed.

Y/n: Royally.

Both Ed and I sighed, seeing that we had the disadvantage here. I then grew a determined look and faced our opponents.

Y/n: Welp guess I'm learning on the fly. You with me Ed?

Ed: Yeah, I got your back.

With that established we began our little game of Grudgby. Ed and I trying our hardest to play despite being handicapped magic wise. Em and Park seemed to be enjoying our struggle, but were basically playing with one hand behind their backs. All in all it was fun, definitely one of the better things to happen today.

*1 hour later*

After a bit we all were drained from our little game. Looking at the score board, anyone would see a score of 15-60. After resting up for a few minutes we parted ways. As I head back to the Owl House, I couldn't help but chuckle at how badly Em and Park kicked our butts. 

Y/n: I swear Park and Em set us up for failure. At least I know how to play ... even without magic.

I say out loud to myself as I walk down the path from the school. After a few moments I think back to what they said about attending school at Hexside. Sure it was a good idea, but there's room for error in the plan. I just let out a sigh and smile.

Y/n: ... Those three may be onto something, but first I need to clear my debt. After that, maybe I can convince him to let me attend. Doubt Eda would be thrilled about that, but I'm sure I can convince her too. Only time will tell if this is a good idea ... or a huge mistake.
