Ruby's POV:

"Hello class! Today we have a new student." My bitchy teacher, Ms. Ivory announced.

"Ugh, who gives a fuck?" I muttered.

"Ruby? Do you have something to say?" Ms. Ivory said, glaring at me.

"Oh... nothing." I said quickly.

"Anyway, Please welcome Sapphire to the class!" Ms. Ivory said cheerfully. A girl with long, light blue hair stepped forward. Her bangs were covering the upper half of her face so that only her lips were exposed.

"...Hot" I mumbled starting at the slender figure standing at the front of the room.

"Alright, Sapphire. You will be sitting next to Ruby... FOREVER... Or at least for the rest of the year." Ms. Ivory joked, gesturing in my direction. Sapphire nodded and started walking in my direction. A smirk started to form on my lips. I carefully closed one eye and winked at the approaching girl.

Sapphire's POV:

'Did she just wink at me?' I thought as I walked towards the desk that I would occupy for the year.

Ruby's POV:

Sapphire gracefully took the seat next to mine. "Hey, there are 21 letters in the alphabet, right?" I asked grinning. She turned and looked at me like I was a fucking dumbass.

"No. There are 26." She stated.

"Oh, right! I always forget the letters U-R-A-Q-T." I said with another wink. (A/N: Say the those letters out loud, in order if you don't get it. What does it sound like?) Sapphire started at be blankly. "So... Do you come here often?" I asked, mentally face palming myself.

"I do now."

"My names Ruby, by the way." I told the blue haired beauty.

"I know."

"Yeah... And your Sapphire..." I said awkwardly.

"Yep."

"So... Is this your first day?" I asked. 'Smooth Ruby, smooth'

"Yes." She replied simply.

"Do you like it so far?"

"Well it's only first period." she pointed out.

"Yeah... Right..."

BRING

The bell rang loudly, signally the end of class. Sapphire immediately stood up and walked out of the room, not looking back once.

"Uhhhh... That didn't go well... Stupid pretty girls..." I sighed and exited the room.

By the time lunch rolled around I was just about done with life. I had two more classes with Sapphire and in each one I made a complete fool of myself. 'That girl probably hates me.' I thought as I walked over to my usual lunch table. There my friends Amethyst, Pearl and Garnet were waiting for me.

"Hey Ruby!" Amethyst said when she saw me.

"Hey guys." I mumbled.

"Ruby, is something the matter?" Pearl asked me. I sat down and sighed.

"Well, it's just... There was a new girl in one of my classes today, actually three of my classes. Anyway she was super hot and she seemed really cool so I tried to talk to her but it went really bad and I said a lot of stupid stuff and now I think she hates me!" All my thoughts from this morning pored out of me all at once. My friends just started at me for a while, stunned.

Finally Garnet spoke. "Well that doesn't sound good."

"I KNOW! Ugh, what am I going to do?" I cried, resting my forehead on the table.

"By any chance are you talking about Sapphire?" Pearl asked me.

"Umm... Yeah. How did you know?" I said turning to look at Pearl.

"Oh! She's in my algebra class!" Pearl said enthusiastically. "She seems like a nice girl."

"Yeah..." I sighed.

"Come on, I'm sure she doesn't hate you! She probably just... dislikes you a little." Amethyst said patting my back.

"Not helping." I muttered. "I'll just try and-"

"Oh! Look! There she is! Hey, Sapphire!" Pearl interrupted me, waving towards the blue haired girl who was standing awkwardly in the middle of the lunch room. She looked around for a moment before slowly walking towards us.

"Hello." Sapphire said when she arrived at our table. Her eyes rested on me for a moment before she took a seat next to Pearl.

"If you have no where else to sit you can always sit with us!" Pearl said.

"Thank you." Sapphire replied, looking at the other students that occupied the table.

"Oh, this is Amethyst, Garnet and believe you already know Ruby." Pearl said, gesturing to each of us in turn.

"It's nice to meet you." Sapphire said blankly.

The rest of lunch was filled with awkward small talk. When the bell finally rang indicating the end of lunch, I packed my stuff up as fast as I could and got the fuck out of there. Once outside the lunch room I headed towards my locker to grab some things for next period.

"Ruby." I heard a familiar voice say behind me. I slowly turned around to face the girl that occupied my thoughts.

"Hey, Sapphire..." I said nervously.

"Can I have my notebook back?" Sapphire asked.

"Oh... Um... Sure..." I handed her the notebook she had let me use to copy notes from second period.

"Thanks." She said and started walking away. My mind was screaming for me to stop her and apologize for being a dumbass, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. I watched as Sapphire walked around the corner and out of sight. I sighed.

"Why do I have to be such an idiot!" I scolded myself. "I really hope I don't have any more classes with her." I sighed and walked off towards my next class.
