Beach City High Chapter 1: A beginning
Oh, high school. The boring time of your professional life. You meet friends, lose some, get high and find some trouble to get into. Most of these things Greg already did in middle school. Well some things don't change. He doesn't get high as often as he use too, but he lost some friends because of rehab. Like I said, some things don't change.
Spoiler alert he meets my mom, gets drunk, and has a one-night stand with her. He doesn't like to admit it though. He tends to stay away from topics that include my mom.
She died when she gave birth to me. She must've been in too much of pain. Pain from heartbreak, pain for not getting to see me, pain from losing precious time with her family and friends. Must I tell you that my father chickened out from holding his girlfriends hand when giving birth? He ran away afterword's.
My aunts (my mother's friends) decide to take me in and adopt me as their own. Pearl, Amethyst, and Garnet are the best. They know just what to say and do to make me feel better.
Do you know what will make me feel better? Telling you the story about how my father and mother met in high school. I know cringy sentence. Please don't hate on my dad after reading my story. He just came back for my kindergarten graduation.

Junior year at Beach City Highschool can be the most stressful part of your life. Greg already knows that part to be true.
"Greg, you flunked chemistry again! Whats your excuse this time?" Marty exclaims as he throws the report card in the browned haired mans face.
"I don't know. Why did I even sign up for the class anyways!" Greg mumbles as he crosses his arms over his chest.
"To graduate, Gregory." Vidalia answers miffed at his knowledge of courses that are needed to graduate.
The teen just rolls his eyes as he leans back into his chair. The library was getting fuller by the minute as the final bell rings for eighth hour study hall. Greg didn't need to be told twice to study as he spots a pink haired woman walking into the library with her friends.
A book fell in front of him with the name "Chemistry for dummies" by none other than Mrs. Yellow, Greg's chemistry teacher and the hardest teacher to impress by far. Marty snickers at the look of Gregs face. He was withdrawn from his staring at the pink haired lady, now looking at his teachers irritable expression.
"Mr. Universe, you have been assigned a tutor to help you study for final exams. You need at least a C to be able to graduate." Miss Yellow says smiling smugly at Greg's horrified face. "If you don't pass the exam. I will have no choice but to fail you for the semester. You don't want to be in Chemistry for your final year of high school? I surely don't want you here."
"B-but-"
"No buts! Your tutor is coming so act like your enjoying yourself." That said, Miss Yellow stormed out of the library looking like she was going to hurl.
Greg sat in silence as Marty and Vidalia both started laughing. They were actually enjoying this. The brown-haired teen grumbles to himself.
"Is this seat taken?" a angelic voice asks as Marty excused himself from the table.
Still, the teen boy refused to look up as the person sat in Marty's spot in front of Greg.
"Are you Mr. Universe? My names Rose Diamond. Its nice to meet you!"
Greg right then and there knew that he was screwed until next year. His crush is his tutor! The most popular girl who Miss Yellow actually enjoyed teaching is sitting right in front of him. His tutor!
"Greg speaking." The teen silently kicks himself for speaking before thinking.
"So Yellow told me that your having trouble with Chemistry? Well-" Rose started speaking so fluently as Greg just stared at her.
Until a book slaps him upside the head.
"Listen, dream later." A tall, slender woman with a bird like head, walks back to her seat across from Rose and them. She has a buttoned up light blue top and ripped jeans at the knees. She was so pale that Greg thought she was the ghost of Frosty the snowmen.
"Do you understand Greg?" Rose asks as she looks to him to find him rubbing his head.
Greg shot his head up to look at her and nods. The girl next to him facepalms as she mutters something about boys and idiots.
"Y-yes, wait what were we talking about?"
"Your going to be doing a project with me for the exam. Its what Yellow has been telling us for the past month?" Rose explains as she lists off all kinds of different chemistry ideas to do that will bring them a easy A. It could be even bringing out a piece of chemistry that is called LOVE!
"Oh yeah, that will be fun!" Greg agrees as he hears the bell ring. He and Rose pack up their things and leave to go their separate ways.
"Nice seeing you Mr. Universe!" Rose calls in the halls as the waves of students piles out of the classrooms.
Greg, however, was too in love to listen to a crying Marty and Vidalia when they arrived at the van.
I know it rushed but this is my first normal Steven Universe fanfic. If you haven't figured out yet, this is a Human AU. So please don't coitize me too much.
I am looking for beta-readers if anyone wants to help! That will be awesome! Plus, I never had Chemistry when I was in school, so I need help with that too.
I do not own Steven Universe!
