I don't own a lot of the main characters but most of the OC's are mine.
Today we get to look at the inside life of some very interesting students who come in all shapes, sizes and personalities so without further adu let's begin.
Chapter 1
Beach City was a very peaceful place with plenty of attractions and nightlife but the most prized possession of the city is it's school, Beach City High School. Most of the students attend the school for education but the school is known for it's football team, the Beach City High Gems. Most of the student body has split into little cliques due to personalities, hobbies and interests. It is also the best ranking school in football and they have been unstoppable for about 3-4 years.
Right now all the students were either sitting in their classes or out on the field practicing for their big game against a rival school who has been after they're title for a long time. There are two star players on the football team; one is big, tough and egotistical and the other is tall, has brown skin, a British accent and is also tough but can be cool at times. The strong one's name is Jasper and she was born with odd colored skin as stripe like patters surround some parts of her body. The tall, brown skinned one's name is Garnet she is the captain of the offensive line while Jasper is captain of the defensive line. Together they have kept the school's title up becoming star players among all the other athletes and wanted by a lot of girls, Jasper likes the attention while Garnet refuses to date any of them because she has a soft spot for nerds but she'll never tell anyone that.
Next we have another set of gems known as the two smartest people in all of high school, one was a semi-tall girl with blonde hair and green highlights and glasses and the second one is a tall, pale girl with strawberry blonde hair. The first one with glasses is Peridot and the second one is Pearl, Peridot is into robotics and technology while Pearl is more into history and dance. Lastly we have two girls who love to joke around, one is light-skinned with black hair and blue highlights and the other is a little chubby with black hair and really light almost white with a hint of purple mixed in highlight. The one with blue hair is Lapis and the second one is Amethyst, Lapis is captain of the swim team while Amethyst really doesn't like anything about school except laughing with her friends.
The day starts with our loveable nerds Pearl and Peridot who were sitting in the library, Pearl was reading books and Peridot was working on a robotics project which she knows she'll ace.
"What you making Peridot?" Pearl asked bored.
"I call it a robonoid, they are basically patch robots that can fix anything using a type of glue but I haven't worked out the kinks yet," Peridot answered going back to work.
"What you do sounds fun although I don't think it's the right thing for me," Pearl said putting her book down and resting her head in her hand.
"That's right, you like that older archaic technology we read about in those dusty history books. You're such a clod sometimes Pearl," Peridot replied.
"What is a clod anyway? You say that to people a lot but do you even know why you call them that?" Pearl asked curiously and slightly annoyed.
"I just like saying it, doesn't really need a meaning," Peridot shrugged.
"Riiight okay whatever you say Peri," Pearl said opening her book and falling out her chair when she felt something ice cold touching her cheek. She looked up to see Amethyst laughing with a cold soda in her hand.
"Hahahaha! You should have see your face P! That was priceless!" Amethyst said sitting on the table opening her soda.
"Amethyst is right, it was pretty funny," Lapis replied coming out the shadows.
"You're so gulliable Pearl, and that's why you're a clod," Peridot said with a snicker continuing her work.
"Why do you always like to prank me Amethyst? Shouldn't you be pranking the cheerleaders or the football players?" Pearl asked dusting herself off and standing up.
"Are you crazy? The cheerleaders would be a piece of cake but I wouldn't make it past Garnet and Jasper, they'll crush me," Amethyst said crossing her arms.
"They even scare some of the teachers, I wouldn't be surprised if Jasper did this to make her school life easier" Lapis replied.
"They can't be that bad, besides they're just big sweaty jocks so it's not like they're intimidating enough to make you feel like they'll hurt you" Peridot explained.
"That's right, Jasper may be a little inappropriate but Garnet doesn't try to frighten people it's just her attitude towards people," Pearl said sitting in her seat.
"You're just saying that because Garnet is your crush Pearly," Amethyst replied with a smirk watching Pearl's cheeks turn a light pink.
"No she isn't, how may times do I have to tell you guys? Geez" Pearl said resting her head in her arms.
"Calm down Pearl you can trust us, we are your best friends after all," Lapis added in giving Pearl a hug.
"True but you guys are a bunch of clods," Pearl said with a smile.
"Hey! You can't steal my word you clod," Peridot relied.
"Chill Peridot, no need to get your nerdy brain in a twist," Amethyst said with a laugh, Peridot just stuck her tongue out and went back to working on her robot then the bell rang.
"Time for the worse class of the day, gym," Pearl said with a bored tone.
"It may be the worse class but I heard Garnet and them will be practicing as well," Lapis answered back.
"Well this will be a fun class," Amethyst said getting off the table.
"Just as long as we aren't doing dodgeball I'm good, last time we played dodgeball I got hit in the nose and it turned dark blue" Peridot complained.
"We may be doing that stuff, anyway let's get going Peridot," Pearl grabbing her book and getting up.
"Hold on let me put my stuff away," Peridot said putting her robonoid and tools away in her bag and stood up then they all walked to gym.
"So are we still going out for some fun tonight?" Amethyst asked.
"Yeah but what should we do tonight? I don't mind what it is as long as it's fun," Lapis answered.
"We could go visit the Beach City Museum, I always love it there" Pearl suggested.
"Booooring! You really need to let loose P, I mean if you had a girlfriend going out would be so much cooler," Amethyst added lamely.
"And who would want to date the school nerd I may ask you? The athletes won't I can tell you that much," Pearl asked.
"Maybe not all athletes are like that, there may be some out there who has a thing for nerds but just has too much of a rep to admit it," Peridot chimed in.
"Well then there's no use if they won't come out and admit it," Pearl scoffed back.
"Pearl's right, there's no way a athlete would admit to anyone that they like a nerd, this school's hierarchy doesn't give nerds and geeks much credit," Lapis crossed her arms.
"And who put athletes on the top anyway? I mean yeah they're big and tough but what about us fun loving people or the nerds and geeks? Why aren't we at the top, this school's way of organizing students is janked," Amethyst said ranting.
"Nothing we can do about it though," Peridot shrugged fixing her backpack.
"Let's just get today over with already," Pearl said with a sigh walking into the gym and into the locker room to change.
"I mean come on Peridot, how do you not have a problem with this?" Amethyst asked.
"I'm just too mature to care about little things, so what if we're at the bottom? I don't like attention anyway so I like not being noticeable that way I don't get messed with" Peridot exclaimed changing into some shorts and a green t-shirt.
"You're too mature for a lot of things we do Peridot," Lapis exclaimed.
"I can't help it, just the way my mindset is" Peridot replied back.
"You guys need to get laid and bad" Amethyst said putting her hair in ponytail along with shorts and a purple t-shirt.
"Don't say things like that Amethyst, you know how it makes me uncomfortable," Pearl chimed in putting on a pair of nylon sweatpants and a t-shirt.
"I know" Amethyst said leaving the locker room with the others and they sat in the bleachers for their coach to explain what they're doing today.
"Alright listen up everybody, today we're not going to do much so for the remainder of the class period we're going outside to run the track while I have a talk with the football coach about his football players leaving a mess in the locker room after every game," the coach said blowing her whistle signaling for everybody to go outside. Amethyst, Lapis, Pearl and Peridot started walking in behind everyone else.
"I guess we lucked out today with dodgeball huh guys?" Lapis asked.
"Which is wonderful by the way, I was not looking forward to another busted nose" Peridot answered. Suddenly a football was heading straight for her from behind when Pearl noticed this and caught it before it hit her but she ended up crashing into Peridot knocking her on the ground. "Hey what was that for Pearl?" She asked dusting herself off.
"I saved your life is what" Pearl said showing her the football.
"That was a nice catch P," Amethyst exclaimed excitedly.
"I didn't know you knew how to catch a football," Lapis added in.
"I don't, it was just instinct I guess," Pearl responded.
"Hey throw the ball back but try not to hurt your arm!" Jasper yelled from the other side of the field.
"Excuse me right quick," Pearl said throwing the ball as hard as she can and it flew right past Jasper leaving her friends and the football players stunned.
"Hahahahaha!" The whole football team was laughing and rolling on the floor along with the cheerleaders and people on the track who saw everything.
"The look on her face is priceless!" Amethyst said laughing along with everyone else.
"Who would have thought you of all people could not only catch but also throw a football" Lapis replied.
"Well you've just had all types of luck today but where did you throw the ball P?" Amethyst asked when they heard the cheerleaders gasp, they looked up to see that Garnet was holding the ball and rubbing her head. "Oh crap, what a horrible turn of bad luck P," Amethyst replied trying not to laugh.
"She's coming over here, what do I do?" Pearl said about to have a panic attack.
"At least this gives you a chance to talk to her, just try not to be nerdy and it may just be alright. We're just going to leave you two alone and continue walking the track," Lapis said pushing Peridot and Amethyst to get them moving again.
"Some friends you guys are," Pearl said with a nervous gulp as Garnet stood in front of her which she was about a foot taller than Pearl.
"Did you throw this?" Garnet asked.
"Y-Yes, I'm so sorry it hit you I didn't mean for it to go that far!" Pearl was about to faint now.
"Why are you so nervous? I wasn't going to hit you or anything I just wanted to say good throw, for someone so small you have a good arm," She replied with a small smile, you can't see her eyes through her visor which she never takes off around people. Pearl was sure she was going to faint now as a blush covered her face and she looked away.
"Thank you Garnet, if you'll excuse me I need to catch up with my friends" Pearl said running after the others. Garnet watched her run off when she was nearly choked to death by Jasper's arm around her shoulder.
"Didn't know you had a thing for the school nerd G," Jasper replied.
"Well why wouldn't I when she just embarrassed you in front of the whole team and cheerleaders? Seriously though you should watch where you throw the ball, that's the reason you're on the defensive line. You stick to hitting people and leaving the throwing to me, I am the quarterback after all," Garnet replied getting out of Jasper's grip and walking back to the field.
"How the hell was I suppose to know she had a damn good arm?" Jasper said running back to the field as well.
"Ever heard the words 'don't judge a book by it's cover?' What just happened is a perfect example of why you should take that saying seriously," Garnet answered throwing the ball to one of her wide receivers. Back to the track we see the others asking Pearl all types of questions as they continued to walk.
"SO did she ask you to go out with her?" Lapis asked.
"Or did she tell you she wanted to get in bed with you?" Amethyst asked of course.
"Did she ask you on a date?" Peridot asked.
"NO she didn't ask me to go out with her Lapis and she didn't ask me out on a date Peridot and lastly she did not ask for me to get into bed with her Amethyst, get your mind out the gutter would you?" Pearl answered.
"SO what did she say?" Lapis asked again.
"That for someone so small I had a good throwing arm," Pearl answered slightly annoyed.
"All that just so she can tell you that you have a good throwing arm? What kind of crap is that?" Amethyst asked obviously pissed now.
"I have to agree with Amethyst on that, it's not right," Peridot exclaimed.
"Now hold on guys, maybe she didn't want to say anything more because she was surrounded by not only the other football players but the cheerleaders and people on the track as well. I mean she may want to keep her rep up so she just said that so people wouldn't know she likes Pearl," Lapis explained.
"Never thought of it like that," Amethyst replied a little calmer now.
"I should have guessed that same theory, I'm a clod as well" Peridot said to herself.
"You guys are over thinking it, there's no way someone as talented as her would like someone like me," Pearl replied with a sigh.
"And that's why we're going to help you," Amethyst exclaimed.
"No no no no! You guys are terrible at match making and I don't want you guys to embarrass me," Pearl said with and annoyed face.
"And what's wrong with our match making skills?" Lapis asked.
"Amethyst is too vulgar, Peridot would try to analyze everything and you are too excitable Lapis," Pearl said watching the move from one foot to the other.
"Come on Pearl, we're not going to embarrass you. By my calculations there is a 80% chance she'll go out with you," Peridot replied.
"And what about the other 10%?" Pearl asked.
"The other 10% would be that she hates you for the rest of her life but I highly doubt that would happen," Peridot answered.
"That's right P, you may not notice it but I notice the way she looks at you when you're sitting in front of her in History class," Amethyst added in.
"She was probably trying to look at my answers, as do all the other athletes," Pearl said with a defeated sigh sitting on a bench.
"Why don't you try and impress her more? You're fast so why not try and race the fastest person in the school?" Lapis asked.
"You want me to challenge Sapphire, are you nuts?! She will smoke me like a salmon," Pearl exclaimed to race ed.
"There is a 5% probability that you may just beat her," Peridot chimed in.
"Then that means there's a 95% chance I won't beat her, I'm so dead but maybe I'm not if I don't challenge her," Pearl said with a relieved sigh but she didn't notice that Amethyst was already talking to her.
"Good news Pearl! Sapphire said she'll race you isn't that great?" Amethyst asked skipping over to them.
"You asked her anyway?! I just said I didn't want to race her and you set it up anyway, if we weren't in school right now I would teach you a lesson," Pearl said with a angry expression.
"But you're fast Pearl, you may just be the only person here who has a good enough chance of beating her," Lapis exclaimed.
"Fine, but if she embarrasses me I will not forgive any of you," Pearl said with a rejected sigh.
"She's calling you over Pearl, we'll be cheering for you the whole time so try your best," Peridot said patting her on the back.
"R-Right, man I hope this doesn't turn out bad," Pearl said walking over to the starting line of the track where Sapphire and the other girls were waiting.
"So I heard you wanted to race me to impress somebody, I'll try to go easy on you without making myself look like I let you win," Sapphire said getting into position.
"T-Thanks Sapphire, that means a lot," Pearl said with little smile also getting into position.
"I was in your same position a few years back before I started dating Ruby," Sapphire explained.
"On you Mark. Get set. GO!" The coach yelled firing off the starting gun, Sapphire started out a little bit ahead of Pearl but she was able to slow down without anyone noticing so that Pearl and Sapphire were neck and neck. As they were coming around the bend Pearl pulled a little bit ahead of Sapphire but they were soon neck and neck again until the finish line was visible and with one more push that not even Sapphire saw coming Pearl ran ahead and crossed the finish line with Sapphire only a few seconds behind.
"Alright Pearl! That's our girl!" Amethyst yelled from where they were and they all ran over to Pearl and hugged her.
"Thanks guys, I couldn't have done it without you guys cheering and pressuring me on," Pearl said with a smile, the Sapphire came up to them and held out her hand out.
"Nice comeback, I didn't see that burst of speed coming," Sapphire said shaking Pearl's hand.
"Thanks for going easy on me at first Sapphire" Pearl replied back.
"I didn't go easy on you, I just told you that so you would build your confidence up," Sapphire said leaving.
"So she didn't let you win, just made you think she would. I didn't see that coming," Peridot said with a smirk.
"Whoa, that nerd actually beat the fastest girl in school? That's impressive I give her credit," Jasper said crossing her arms and nodding and bumping shoulders with Garnet, "you're drooling there a little bit G," she said with a laugh.
"Shut up, I told you not to judge a book by it's cover didn't I?," Garnet said pushing the ball into Jasper's stomach making her go 'oompf' as she held her stomach.
"Noted, I'll keep that in mind for the future," Jasper said trying to catch her breath.
"Alright team head back to the locker room for next period," the football coach said after he blew his whistle. All the football players walked back to the locker room while the people who were running the track were just now leaving and the only people left were Peridot, Lapis, Amethyst and Pearl.
"Well done out there today Pearl, first with the football thing and then beating the fastest person in the school. Bet no one will call you a nerd now," Lapis said pushing Pearl in the shoulder playfully.
"I guess you're right, I feel really good after accomplishing so much today," Pearl said putting back on her school clothes.
"You should, on top of that you got to talk to your crush so I say we should go celebrate" Amethyst replied.
"You mind if we join you guys?" Garnet asked the group startling everyone.
"Uh sure but why would you want to hang out with us?" Peridot asked.
"I mean it gets boring hanging our with the same people everyday, plus I don't believe in the school hierarchy thing that sets up" Garnet answered.
"Yeah plus we're pretty impressed at what you did today nerd- I mean Pearl" Jasper fixed quickly trying catch her breath from the quick elbow jab she got from Garnet.
"Thanks and of course you guys can hang out with us," Pearl answered with a slight smile.
"We're going to go to the pool later so you guys can just meet us out there," Amethyst said excitedly.
"We did not agree on the pool Amethyst," Pearl replied back.
"You're right, all in favor of going to the pool later say aye," Amethyst asked.
"Aye," Peridot answered.
"If it includes water count me in," Lapis said with a smile.
"Aye" Jasper added.
"Aye," Garnet said adjusting her shades.
"I guess I have no choice then, aye," Pearl said with a defeated sigh.
"Great then it's settled, see you two there," Amethyst said leaving the locker room with Lapis, Peridot and Pearl following.
"Look at the bright side Pearl, at least you get to wear a bathing suit in front of Garnet," Lapis replied.
"I can't do that, my skin is so pale it wouldn't look right," Pearl answered frantically.
"It won't look bad P, I mean we're all types of different colors so all we need is colors that match us," Amethyst added.
"I am wearing a one piece but I'm wearing some shorts and a t-shirt over it," Peridot exclaims.
"I'm wearing a two piece of course because I love my body and I'm not afraid to show it off," Lapis chimed in
"Lapis has the right idea, our bodies are natural so why not flaunt it?" Amethyst asked.
"Okay well then I guess I'll wear that two piece I have, I hope it doesn't match my skin color too much," Pearl said the last part to herself.
"Well I'm heading home I'll see you guys later at the pool," Amethyst said grabbing her skateboard and riding down the street.
"I should get going to, still need to make a few adjustments to my robonoids," Peridot said getting on her bus.
"I'll get going too, see you later Pearl," Lapis replied grabbing her bike.
"I guess I'm going home alone then," Pearl said walking to pink car where her guardian Rose Quartz was waiting.
"So how was your day Pearl?" Rose asked.
"It was...eventful, I showed a jock that I wasn't just a nerd and then I beat the fastest girl in school and after that we all decided to go to the pool later," Pearl answered.
"Do you need a ride?" Rose asked.
"Yeah Rose, but first we need to get home so I can change into my swimsuit first," Pearl said adjusting herself in her seat.
"I gotcha' Pearl, did something else happened today?" Rose asked.
"What do you mean Rose? Nothing else happened today," Pearl said with a blush.
"You're blushing, come on and tell me Pearl you can trust me," Rose said with a smile.
"Well Garnet spoke to me today and then she asked to hang out with my friends today," Pearl explained.
"You mean that girl you have been obsessing over for the last three years?" Rose asked with smirk and a raised eyebrow.
"I don't obsess over her, she's just a wonderful person," Pearl answer trying to stop her face from getting darker.
"Says the person who has a bunch of sketchbooks with pictures of her in it." Rose said with a laugh.
"You went snooping through my stuff again didn't you? You had no right," Pearl said with her arms crossed.
"I know but I got curious and couldn't help myself," Rose said keeping her eyes on the road.
"It's fine as long as you don't say anything to Amethyst and them because she would go blabbering it all over the school," Pearl said with a sigh. Soon they arrive home and Pearl changed into her swimsuit covering it up with shorts and a t-shirt and a towel in her bag.
Hey everybody this is a remake of my last story because to me it was grammatically incorrect so I decided to make it a little better, hope you guys enjoy it.
