"Bye dad!'

"Goodbye Steven. Have a great first day." Greg Hollered. Yep, it is that time of the year again, the start of a new life of new experiences and adventures . He has no idea how this day would go, but he hoped that he can make a lasting impression and great time in the days to come. A shove from a random person snapped him out of daydreaming and looked at the big building in front of him. Inhaling then exhaling, he starts walking towards the building.

"Well, here goes another year of high school."

Steven made way to his locker so he can unload the extra baggage he needed to carry before class, but it didn't really bother him to bring anything to class because it is the first day of school. Usually in the first day of school, people are too busy finding their rooms, teacher establishing rules, and giving us a supply list for the class. So it didn't concern Steven if he needed to bring books or not, giving how he's isn't going to use it yet. With that, he basically put all of his books into the locker and closed it just to see his best friend leaning on the locker waiting to greet him.

"Yo Steven." she said in familiarity.

"Oh, hey Amy... What are you wearing?"

"Oh this?" She held her mask. "This is only the coolest thing ever! Check it, you know how I'm into pro wrestling right?" He nodded. "Well I went to this website where you can get custom masks and they ship it to you for free. For FREE Steven!" Amethyst shaking Steven back and forth getting him a little dizzy. "Do you know what this means?"

"You're going to drop out of school and become a part-time luchador?" Amethyst thinks that he just said that to get her mad, but she's too excited to get mad.

"Nope! It means I got you one too!" She then pulls out a yellow mask with the design of a lion snout and sporting the ears on top ends of the mask. Steven lit up like a Christmas tree when given the mask, looking at It in all angles and feeling it out.

"No, freaking, way! This is awesome! Thanks Amy!" He charged into his best friend grabbing her in a tight hug. Amethyst then shrugged.

"Eh, tis what I do." Amethyst stated. "Say, did you ever get the chance to-" Interrupted by the bell signaling first period, the students haste to their first period class. Steven took this time to pick up his almost empty backpack and tagged along with Amethyst.

"Like I was saying, did you ever get the chance to ask out that girl yet? What's her name. Connie?" She asked. Steven felt his face heat up when the name was mentioned. Trying to play it cool, he crossed his arms and gave his friend a scoff.

"W-What are you talking-" Cut short by Amethyst's laughter, she slung her arm over his shoulder.

"Dude I'm just messing with you. Take your time with it, don't rush." She said in a mellowed out tone. "By the way. What class do you have now?"

"Health."

"Ah well. I got Geography so I go this way. See ya star child!" She hollered running down the hallway. Steven waved back at her just to witness her run into another student, knocking both of them to the floor. Steven stifled a laugh and went about going to his next class, knowing that Amethyst is going to be fine.

He looked intensely at the room numbers hoping that he would eventually find his class without being late. Even though it's the first day, he still believed that he should at least be on time. He walked down the school halls looking left and right looking for the room 221. Soon he realized that when he got to an intersection, it was the first door on his left.

A little nervous, he approached the door and opened it to see his new classmates, being like any kid in the first day, mostly quiet because of the new faces, they were doing a whole lotta nothing to pass the time. Most were on their cell phone, some were checking their backpacks and a few were just blankly staring a the whiteboard. But there were a few talkative people in here too, in turn puts him at ease. He sees his new teacher and approached her with his schedule at hand. The teacher just noticed a student walking towards her and shifted her attention.

"Oh, good morning sweetheart, who might you be?" she asked. Steven handed her his schedule and rubbed the back of his neck.

"Uh, hello. I'm Steven Universe." The teacher smiled.

"Well it's nice to meet you Mr. Universe, I'm Ms. Garnet. I'm going to be your Health teacher for the year. It's nice to meet you." Ms. Garnet claimed. She extended out her hand and Steven shook it.

"Nice too meet you too Ms. Garnet."

"Please, call me Ms. G." Steven complied with a smile and a nod, Ms. G then replied with the same reaction.

"Well, you may go sit down wherever you like and relax. Hopefully more kids come in before the late bell rings."

"Okay." And with that, Steven faced with a tough decision, where is he going to sit? He explored his options, concluding that the seating is arranged in a group type of set up. Four to five seats in each group, and there were six arrangements like this and three of them are full. Two of those tables are almost full with only one spot left, on the other hand, the remaining one had a girl sitting alone. She's sporting blue hair to match with her blue graphic tee and black jeans. Steven chose to sit with her out of pity but also curious about having that girl as a friend.

He walked over to the table as casual as possible and sat down having her look at him. Steven put up a hand and gave her a wave.

"Hey." she looked at him a few moments longer and looked away as if she's not in the mood to chat. Okay then Steven thought as he awkwardly tapped his fingers on his desk. It could be that she's new to the school and she's a little shy it seems, because frankly, what she did was not very nice and it made Steven feel like it was his fault for her sour attitude. But then again she could be having a bad morning and don't want any other headaches.

Hard to tell for the disgruntled teen, so he chose to get over it. The late bell rung, indicating the start of the first period. Ms. G rose from her seat and gave a couple of claps to get the student's attention.

"Alright guys, enough chit-chat, class has started." Everyone eventually settled down and Ms. G continued.

"Good morning everyone, I'm your health teacher Ms. Garnet but you can call me Ms. G" there were a few student's greeting Ms. G with reluctance and delay.

"Now I'm going to-" the knock on the door caught her off guard and politely asked Steven to open the for the person waiting outside. Steven complied and open the door to see a girl about the same height as him but she has a puffy ponytail and a red hair band, sporting a maroon t-shirt and dark greyish cargo shorts.

"Thanks." she spoke.

"You're welcome." Steven replied. She walked into Ms. G's view and gave her a smile, which in turn, the girl gingerly waved at her.

"Good Morning Ruby. Paying me a visit?"

"Suuuuure?" Ruby said, unsure how to reply to that question.

"Why did you answer like that?" Ruby then raised her right hand to reveal her schedule.

"You're in here? Sigh Okay then. Find yourself a seat." Ruby then proceeded to scope out a good seat from the options she had left. Her eyes landed on the table where Steven and the other girl is sitting. She sat down at the table and greeted both before Ms. G started to talk again.

In fourth period, Steven has PE, which he didn't have to do much but sit down on the floor and wait for the teacher to give talk. He was one of the first people to arrive in the gym and saw the same two girls from first period. Although he wanted to talk to both, they were sitting too far apart so he sat in the middle of them waiting for instruction yet again. Seeing how his classmates walk in the gym few by few finding themselves their seats, there was one person who walked in that looked really familiar. Wavy hair, purple tank top that say's 'let's get weird' and jeggings. Getting a closer look, he figured that it's his best friend.

"Amy!" Steven called, waving at her. She whipped her head around to see who was calling her. She saw Steven waving at her.

"Steven!" she darted at him with intent of contact. Realizing this he stood up and opened his arms and braced with a smile on his face. Amethyst came crashing onto him, putting him in a playful headlock while giving him a noogie. It was like this for a few more seconds and she settled down.

"Dude! I didn't know you have PE."

"I didn't know you have PE." Both of them laughed grabbing the attention of almost every person in the gym.

"Yo Steven, you'd never guess who I saw in biology third period."

"Who?"

"Aw really? I thought you were going to guess..."Amethyst pouted, crossing her arms.

"But I don't know anybody else instead of you."

"Two years in and you haven't made any friends? That's strange coming from you." Seven raises an eyebrow.

"How come?"

"You know, you're the one with the outgoing attitude and always bubbly."

"I am not bubbly. I'm interactive. Besides I have made friends."

"Oh yeah? Like who?" She asked, clearly not convinced.

"Uh, there's Sadie... uh, Ronaldo, Lars, Sour Cream-"

"Okay fine Mr. Popular. Now that I think of it, you're dad was a renowned rock star. You would think that girls would pay more attention to you because of that."

"I don't care about stuff like that. It's better for me because I don't have to worry about befriending people with motives."

"Yeah yeah, but you know what's wild?" Steven is starting to lose patience.

"What?" Amethyst then started to giggle.

"Connie is in my Biology class." Steven's face turned crimson from the news.

"Y-you don't say..." Steven uttered, feeling a bit uneasy.

"So? Did you talk to her yet?"

"Yeah. We met over the summer, I saw her on the beach drawing in the sand so I rode a bike to show off."

"Wait... You rode your bike in the sand?"

"I wasn't tying to break my funky flow."

"Bruh." Amethyst collapsed on the floor.

"Oh shut up Amy, she found it really cool."

"Yeah, let's say that." Amethyst retorted.

It was lunch period, for Steven. it meant socializing with people and eating his dad's turkey sandwich and a cookie cat to finish it off. But for right now he's looking for the spot Amy was sitting. He wandered the cafeteria looking for that spot near the entrance and finally spotted her with one other person.

With stealth, he sat down at the table with only Amethyst noticing him. She greeted him and continued on eating his lunch. He took this time to look around the cafeteria. It was your typical, rowdy, cafeteria. Every conversation is drowned out by every other, people being high profile as if trying to show that they can have a good time, and the people who merely can't sit still, usually up and about running around or annoying other people.

Without regard to this one girl who was walking by with an assistant principal, to far to actually make out her face but that hairstyle is strikingly familiar. He chose to shrug it off and finish his lunch.

The next day

It was first period and Steven decided to give another go on trying to talk to the girl that is sitting at their table.

"Hi." Steven started. The girl then looked his way.

"Hello." she replied. Steven internally congratulated himself at getting her to speak to him.

"The name's Steven."

"Lapis."

"Are you new to this school?"

"Yeah, I'm still not used to the change though, everything is so different here." Steven acknowledged.

"I see what you mean, when I came to this school for the first time, I was pretty nervous too. But my friends are always there to help me out."

"You must have great friends."

"I can always make more." Steven smiled, giggling a little after. This made Lapis less tense and more willing to talk to Steven. Talking will have to wait it seems because Ms. G is giving a lecture about nutrition.

O08oo

At the end of the period, Steven and Lapis bid their goodbye's and were off to second period. In the hallway, it was packed and there were a few people who want to make things a little more complicated by blocking the hallway by chatting with their friends. This annoyed Steven, causing him to turn around and look for another route.

He tried to turn the corner when someone bumped into him dropping their books onto the floor. Steven quickly apologized and helped with picking up the books. He handed back to the stranger until he actually got a good look at who he was helping. The feeling of excitement, confusion, and nostalgia hit him like a 2 ton brick to the face.

"Peri?"

"Steven?"
